“We arrived at lunchtime and waited approximately 15 minutes for our tables. Our waiter was Eric, who explained the menu to us and was helpful since he speaks Spanish. The appetizers, food, and drinks were delicious, and if you order a dessert, the chocolate gelato is spectacular.“

“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.“

From the lasagna, spaghetti, fritte zucchini, garlic bread, chicken fettuccini Alfredo, steak rissoto special, to the shrimp Alfredo, and shrimp scampi, every meal has been amazing. Their cannolis and tiramisu are also delish!!! It’s always busy and the service is exceptional. Highly recommend!!!!“

“Sue and I have not been to this place since they converted to sit-down and order. Finally joining the real restaurant world. We have eaten here about 20 times in the last few years and have always enjoyed the food, but felt strange with the get-your-own-drink aspect of it. Anyways, we are seated at our favorite booth, Perry Como, Elvis, Dean Martin, and Sinatra (the usual suspects) crooning at a comfortable level, with decent speakers. Oscar greeted us and took our drinks order, leaving a couple of rather impressive menus with us. We spent some time looking at the menu, as the format has changed somewhat. I ordered the shrimp marsala on linguine, Sue ordered the same on some other pasta noodle (You choose). After a reasonable interval, our food arrived. 2 huge bowls of deliciousness thick enough that it could have been called a stew. Lrt me tell you, I've been to restaurants that the orders contained little meat, little mushrooms, and a LOT of broth. Not here! These bowls were crammed with a ton of food. Shrimp, portobella mushrooms and pasta that was not overcooked. I gotta tell you, Sue and I dine out a LOT...various venues all over WG/Ocoee/Windermere/Clermont. This was probably the finest meal I ever had. The improvements the restaurant made are A+ Definitely worth dropping a hundy on.“

“This place is amazing. We started coming here about 3 months ago and had their pizza at first and it was great!! This has been our normal Friday night spot when we are in town. I finally tried some entrees and those are also just as good. They have great salads and homemade dressings along with excellent cheesy garlic knots. I highly recommend this place for their food not to mention their staff is great!! If you have never been here make the stop in you will not be disappointed!!“

“If you appreciate fresh chef-inspired and chef-created Italian cuisine, then you MUST dine here. Truly authentic from the ambiance, the cozy intimate setting, to the tiramisu and espresso finale! Only wish we’d found this gem sooner!“

“Kristin was a fantastic waitress. She took care with our order. All the food came out fresh and hot. The cooks served food that was outstanding and fresh. Thank You for an awesome dinner!!“

“At least I loved this place. The food is exquisite, the garlic sticks are wonderful and they refill them as much as you want. Incredible attention, everyone extremely friendly and well cared for. I would return without a doubt.

Kid-friendliness: They do accept children and have a special menu.“

“A friend living nearby recommended Terramia for a get together of several guys. Was greeted warmly and seated by Tiffany who was hostess and bartending. 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 !!!“

“We had a wedding shower Bella Tuscany in Ocoee on Sunday. The room was the perfect size, the food was outstanding (we did a brunch), and the service was amazing. A big shout out to Barb and her staff who helped us make the shower so memorable.“

“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“

“I have no idea what the people who rated this establishment lower are talking about. The service, food, atmosphere and general ambiance were exceptional. After dining in some of the higher end resort hotels in Disney this Universal treat beats them hands down. Even with the construction maze one has to navigate that may detract a bit one must remember it is not the fault of the restaurant and they more than make up for this slight inconvenience by their service.“

“It’s always a great way to end your shopping day at Brio’s! Love it!“

“Came in for the first time last night. Service and food were phenomenal. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!“

“it was a Great experience friendly staff and and great food and went home stuffed“

“Food is pretty good, though a touch on the expensive side. If you're looking for value, the calzone is quite good and huge, easily two meals (if you can prevent yourself from eating the whole thing in one sitting).

Service is very inconsistent, sometimes it is quite slow. You may sit for 10-20 minutes before even being approached, even if there isn't many other patrons. It may be due to being understaffed, just stating facts. Never had a problem with rudeness or anything like that though.

Highly recommend sitting outside on a nice afternoon or night, lovely people watching and atmosphere.“

“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“

“Awesome food !“

“The best local Italian restaurant in the area! Great place for pizza too! The staff is friendly and welcoming. The food was delicious and even a good beer and wine offering. But you absolutely have to order the cannolis, they are made in house and they are heaven!

“amazing. first time here. worth the drive!!“

“The best pasta I have ever tried! On top of that it’s the customer service you receive whenever you make an order or go to the markets. A company with true customer loyalty with the best fresh pasta at its heart.“

“Oh my God! And I thought Dominos was the king of pizzas. I was wrong. And I like to be wrong here. I have never tasted anything like this crunchy, fresh and sweet sauce pizza ever in any other place. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough! Good environment, tidy and clean establishment, good music and tasty food! 10/10.“

“I have been to this place about 7 times already between the hours of lunch and pizzas weekend for the family. This place has some of the best hospitality I've come across in awhile. Server are always attentive when needed, and willing to greet you as you come in. Even Management were very friendly and curious. The food is really good as well as the pricing, and the pizza actually taste like Brooklyn pizza. I usually don't post reviews, but in this case felt a need to.“

“My sister and I had our first visit to Cariera's in Winter Garden, FL, a family owned restaurant, for lunch about a week ago. I first heard about it a few years ago on the NextDoor App for the Dr. Phillips neighborhood in Orlando, which I believe was their original location. We grabbed the menus, sat at a booth, made our selections and then went up to very friendly Cashier/Waitress Valerie to prepay our meals and tips. I had the Fried Calamari, Shrimp & Crab Ravioli ala Vodka, fruit infused red sangria and for dessert, Limoncello cake. Sis had the Lasagna. Everything was delicious (see pics)! The calamari was seasoned crispy on the outside but light and tender on the inside. The ravioli didn't have as much crab as I would have liked but plenty of shrimp. The vodka sauce was creamy and cheesy. Even the garlic roll was fresh and warm. Everything was perfect and there was plenty leftovers to feed us a couple more days. The owner and Valerie and other servers checked on us periodically throughout our meal. The food, welcoming atmosphere and excellent customer service provided our first-time visit with a very happy, delightful experience! There are plenty of veggie and vegetarian options and a $10 'Little Bambinos' menu. Cariera's is located in a strip mall with plenty of parking except handicapped spaces are limited. We plan to return to try different things on the menu and would highly recommend for indoor and/or carry out meals with family, friends and visitors.“

“Great food I ordered the 3 different pasta it was delicious!!“

“Their are clearly mark take out and delivery. Do you feel the same way when you go papa johns or Dominos and there is no sitting.“

“What an awesome experience we had today, when 25 of us had a delicious lunch, on your porch! Everyone enjoyed their food…..pizza, salads, sub, & brushetta. Lindel did an outstanding job waiting on us, and brought our checks, in a very orderly manner. Kudos to him! Highly recommend Ragazzi’s.“

“I just had lunch at Grazie's. It was a little breezy, but we sat on the patio. No one else was there for lunch, and not surprising, the service was exceptional. I had the muffaletta sandwich which was probably the best I've ever had. The homemade tapanade was excellent. I had the tomato basil soup on the side and it was great, too. My companion had the pepperoni pizza and he thoroughly enjoyed it. Highly recommend this place!“

“We went today Saturday and as usual no disappointment. They had “The A team working. They were busy but made pleasant. My fav the grandma’s pizza a greek salad and some wine and “Bingo” also the music and the smiles from all of the staff is a plus. A +++“
