“Best dining experience in a long time. Family run venue, arrived late from Canada, stayed open for us and we were the last booking. Exceptional food, service, value, and wine selection . They went above and beyond and even drove us home, but I can't say that that is standard. Highly recommend , very memorable experience“

“The food is always prepared perfectly. Chefs Tony and Ryan do an awesome job making sure everything is cooked to your liking. Annmarie and Amy make sure the customers are taken care of as far as drinks and service are concerned. Always friendly and accommodating. A very friendly atmosphere, great for a night out with friends or a date night.“

“Absolutely amazing. The customer service at the Lake Mary location was so great. Last week we wanted pizza and someone recommended Filomena’s to me so I ordered online. When I ordered it told me it would be delivered within an hour which was perfect. A few moments later I got a text message saying it was going to be 2 hours. Because of this I called to cancel and spoke with Justine. She was great and canceled the order for me. About 20 minutes later she called back to let me know that they deliver in house vs using DoorDash when using the website and that next time we should call to order to skip the third party. The fact that she called me back to tell me this is such great customer service. She needs to be given all the praise or a raise 👀🤣. Fast forward to tonight when I called to place a deliver order, she remembered me and was so great again. Even called the manager to see if they would deliver a little farther out of their radius. I seriously could not recommend you guys enough.“

“Food is fantastic. It’s a small place so you may have to wait for a little while, but I promise It’s worth the wait.“

“Awesome service. Great food. Best prices.“

“Delicious and fresh classic Italian paired with amazing service is a win win!! We are always are greeted with a smile and welcoming vibe. Love this place so much!“

“The restaurant is in an interesting location in what appears to be an office building. That said, the atmosphere is upscale once you go inside. They have amazing drink selection. I got the hot honey pizza and it was amazing. Our server was Bella and she did a fantastic job. She made sure we did not run out of bread before our food arrived. She also did an amazing job ensuring our wine glass was not empty.“

“I have been craving chicken piccata, but too lazy to make it. I ordered directly through them for delivery and it arrived piping hot and perfect. I got it with added mushrooms and extra sauce and a side of the antipasto salad. It also came with garlic knots. The sauce was exactly how I wanted it. And the salad had the perfect amount of toppings and dressing. I called the order in and the woman that answered the phone was polite and helpful- as was the person who delivered it. I will definitely be visiting the restaurant in person, but can’t imagine it tasting better than it did delivered.“

“love Carrabba's...One of my favorite dishes there is the Chicken trio🤤...Their delicious Marsala sauce goes well with any protein...“

“We have had absolutely wonderful experiences when dining at Stefano's. The staff truly make you feel valued and welcome! The food is delicious and the portions are plentiful! We would definitely recommend Stefano's whether you are looking for somewhere to celebrate a special occasion or just looking for a scrumptious Italian meal at a restaurant that truly takes pride and care in their diners experience. 5 stars across the board!“

“I usually get pizzas and calzones. Last night I actually tried their pasta dishes and let me tell you, their Alfredo sauce is addictive. I had the fettuccine Alfredo and it was the best I ever had hands down. It was decadence in pasta form.“

“Today we found this gem ! The food and staff are superb! Portions are big and delicious!!We found our new lunch spot!! Best Italian food we found in Florida!“

“Anything on this menu is ridiculously tasteful, has an amazing presentation and flavor, is made with love, and priced extremely fair! Leftovers for days and you can tell the Chef is the owner. Flawless! Hands down there is not a better tasting or better run Italian restaurant is the entire Central Florida area and possibly the State!“

“We were there today. The pepperoni pizza was delicious. An extremely friendly young lady waited on us, great customer service. This is one of my grandson's favorite places.“

“We eat here at least once a week. The Gino's special pizza is our absolute favorite. The service is beyond description. Wanda, Karen, Jordan and the owner (I assume Gino) make us feel like we're in Cheers, where everybody knows your name. Its a neighborhood restaurant where you feel and are treated like family. We love this place. We usually sit at the bar and inevitably we meet wonderful people who make our meal that much more enjoyable. LOVE THIS PLACE.“

“I have visited this beautiful gem several times with the family. Stepping inside feels like entering a warm and welcoming space. Exploring the menu offers both highly-praised signature dishes and delicious specialty / traditional pizzas. The quality of ingredients is evident in every bite, delivering a truly outstanding flavor. The dedication of the family owners, coupled with amazing service, makes this a place people can always rely on for a delightful meal. You can’t go wrong with cafe paisano.“

Jenae was our server and between the two of them was made to feel at home. Atmosphere was very comfortable and intimate like a neighborhood gathering spot. The food was attractively plated and delicious. I had the Pasta Primavera with bread and soup and enjoyed it immensely. Will definitely be back with more friends. Thanks everyone !!!“

My wife and I had dinner again at our favorite Italian restaurant.

David took care of us in a special way.
I accidentally dropped my water glass twice on the table.
The second time the glass actually broke.
David told me, "Don't worry about it." and he took care of cleaning up both tables.

Man, it doesn't get better than that, does it?“

“Wonderful food, owners and staff! Calzones and the anti pasta are my favorites! keep up the great work!“

“First time at this location. This is a true 5-star dining experience. A beautiful, clean restaurant. Was the VERY FIRST TIME that the breadsticks and Alfredo sauce had come out at the same time - at any other OG never had. Kiersten was our server and was great at checking in on us for additional salad or soup“

“Good food, value and service!“

“BEST Olive Garden in the area!
It really looks like a miniature village on the inside, much like a Disney venue - themed on the inside down to the little details. Clay tiled roofs scattered throughout the restaurant really give you the feel of being seated outside at night in a small Italian village. Just excellent!
As always, the food was delicious, hot, plentiful and begs you to come back for more.
I had the Steak Gorganzola Alfredo, which is only available for a limited time, which is a shame because in my mind, it is the perfect dish.
My lovely wife tried the Stuffed Chicken Marsala, and licked the plate clean. The bottomless Raspberry Lemonades were refreshing as always, and seconds brought to us before even asking for them.
A shared Tiramisu with two cups of Espresso rounded out the end of the very satisfying meal.

All in all, the perfect dining experience!
Olive Garden did it again!“

“Awesome food !“

“Food is all homemade and delicious. Service is great!! Live music on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. What else can you ask for!!! ❤️“

“A friend introduced me to this place and everything was delicious . I would recommend you to give it a try you won’t be disappointed . I can’t wait to go back !“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ **Outstanding Service from Billy!**

I had the pleasure of being served by Billy during my visit, and I must say, he made the entire dining experience exceptional! From the moment we were seated, Billy was attentive, courteous, and had a warm, welcoming demeanor that immediately put us at ease. He had an impressive knowledge of the menu, offering thoughtful recommendations and making sure our dietary preferences were accommodated without any issues.

What stood out most was his attention to detail—he anticipated our needs before we even had to ask! Drinks were always refilled on time, and he checked in with us at the perfect moments, without being intrusive. Billy’s friendly personality, combined with his professionalism, truly elevated our experience. You can tell he genuinely cares about his customers and enjoys what he does.

If you're lucky enough to have Billy as your server, you're in for a fantastic experience. He is a true asset to the team, and we will definitely be returning—partly because of the great food, but mostly because of Billy’s outstanding service!“

“Great dinner tonight. First time customer but it won’t be the last time. Great service and food.“

“Found them one night looking for a good New York style pizza. To be honest, I don’t know what a real New York style pizza is, but it lived up to the hype and I would definitely order it again!As my friends said, this is our new Italian pizza place.“

“All I can say is “WOW!! Had the most amazing Ruben sandwich ever! I’m very picky about my deli sandwiches because I don’t care for fatty anything. My Ruben was 100% lean meat, sauerkraut and dressing. The potato salad was incredible and the pickles were delicious! My husband had the Italian panini, and couldn’t say enough great things about it! JJ was our waitress and she made sure we were well taken care of. Glen, the manager, stopped by to check on us and make sure we had everything we needed. There was so much food and we gladly took home our leftovers!! Overall, an outstanding meal and we will definitely be back soon! Thanks Pickles, for a memorable meal! You made a good day great!“

I’m looking forward to going back to try multiple mend items“
