“Best little secret around for some excellent pizza. I have been going here for years. This place is family owned and operated. I love their pizza and lunch specials. I have not had a bad meal here yet. Give them a shot I promise you won't regret it.Parking: Connected to the gas station just go around to the side and park there.“

“Wow! My wife and I have been past this restaurant for years and never thought to come in as we actually thought that they were closed. We realized that we have been making a big mistake and we are already figuring out when to return. Everything that we ordered was phenomenal (Bruschetta, Gnocchi Alla Sorrentina, Carne Trio, and Cannoli.)“

“We went there today.for lunch the Italian and meatballs sub were delicious and they were packed with alot of meat. The bread.was fresh and the desserts looked so tempting but Can't have sweets! we highly recommend you stop by there! We will definitely be back“

“Worth the drive out of Kissimmee. Nice area to visit. The food was very tasty. Good appys, yummy pizza. The pastas we tried all tasted fresh with great flavours. Cecio e Pepe, squid ink pasta and ravioli cannot go wrong. Service was excellent.“

“Gamberoni con Spaghetti fra Diavolo -- this was SO good! Was not too spicy, it was just right. You can tell the quality of the ingredients because you dont feel like crap after eating your meal or the 3 baskets of bread they brought to the table. Definitely coming back!“

“One word describes our evening at Nonno's, magnificent. My friend and I were looking for an Orlando gem and we found the perfect place. The food was deliciously made with love and care. Every bite was so flavorful. We both sat there savoring our food. We began with the bread and pesto. The pesto was so good we even dipped our calamari in it. Our entrees were Fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp and Lasagna. The flavors were soooo good. You could tell that fresh ingredients were used in the dishes. I cannot say enough how much we loved our food. The owner came to our table several times. He was so warm and welcoming. A perfect compliment to our meal. Definitely put Nonno's on your list.“

“Extreme busy Saturday night. We had requested a table in Main dining and we got to eat in a different part of the restaurant, right behind the bar called “La Terrazzo “. Not a disappointment. Our server was excellent in everything, timing was perfect. Prince Edward Island mussels and their buratta was to die for. Sauce of the buratta was the best thing I ever tasted!!! After we asked for 2 best dishes in the menu, we decided to go for short ribs and filetmignion for our main course. Oh boy!!!! CIBO PERFETTO!!!!Deliciousso!!!! We were surprised with a Italian homemade dessert for Theo’s birthday. We love this place. Getting better and better every time.“

“10 ot of 10 ! Will 100% eat again! I am not a big pizza person. But I ate this entire pie! Super unique pizza options. And you get to add the star for an up charge to any pizza you would like, I definitely recommend doing this! Service was really nice. It does get busy in here, I don't know if you could have a reservation. I would definitely try to make a reservation if you can! I have been really picky on my wine lately, and their white wine is great! They do let you sample it before you buy which is nice. Their pizza was not overly filling due to the light breading. I would definitely recommend an entire pie for two people. It is so delicious he won't be able to stop eating it!“

“Food was pretty good! The restaurant was a lovely little place, but our waitress just wasn’t very attentive. Not a big deal, but she never brought the glass of wine I ordered, and we spent awhile waiting for our check. After getting the check we left my credit card out and ready and after another long wait a different waiter ended up taking it for us. Not a huge deal and would probably visit again.“

“A story of a picky husband and a particular wife! Long story short we are in town celebrating both my husband’s birthday and our anniversary. We were trying to find a last minute place to eat - this was near our hotel.The food was fresh, the bread was warm and good. Everything came out hot & quickly. Portions sharable and enough to have left overs!Our waitress Lisselys was absolutely wonderful. She was very attentive, sweet and gave us recommendations. Simply spectacular.“

“Vinzo's is our go to pizza in Winter Springs, they have great specials, always fresh ingredients and they don't skimp, and staff is alway friendly. Pizza is always ready in 30 minutes for pick up. My favorite is the veggie pizza, the guys love their meat lovers.“

“The food was good, although expanding the lunch menu would be good. The service was a bit slow due to a large party. The food quality is excellent. When the restaurant is full the kitchen can get very loud.Parking: The driveway to the lot is a challenge to find.“

“Yo the best pizza you've ever had. Truly real New York style pizza. Not the cheapest you'll find but worth the price. Very nice people in here. No indoor eating because it's tiny up in here, but take it to go! It's worth it! 5 stars! Boom.“

“Hands down the best pizza spot in town! Everything is amazing, and overall REALLY good food! Always so fast, I couldn’t believe my calzone was ready in 15 minutes. They ALWAYS answer the phone immediately and have the best service around! I will never go anywhere else for pizza! We love Russo Brother’s!❤️“

“This restaurant has such a great atmosphere. Every time I eat here it doesn’t disappoint! Today I had the chicken piccata. It was so flavorful and delicious. I sat at the bar and Luis was so attentive and really made it a great experience. I highly recommend this place.“

“I was brought up on Brooklyn Italian pizza. I have lived in Orlando 25 yrs and bring back frozen Brooklyn pizza when I visit Brooklyn, NY. I don't need to do that any longer. Del Dio's pizza taste just like back home. Their calzones, stomboli, pasta and lasagna are to die for. This is back home corner pizzeria here in Orlando! I read in another review "not to make a special trip there", I beg to differ BIG TIME. Del Dio's merits special trips there any time you can!! "Buon appetito"“

“Everytime I go here the food is on point, service is good the atmosphere seems a little dark, stuffy for my taste, wouldn't say it's not clean but definitely feels worn down. I keep coming back though becuase of the people (staff) and food“

“Astonishingly good pie. The crust on the grandma pizza was so buttery it was about the best crust I’ve had. So simple, and so delicious. The B N T pizza was delicious and very creative. We stumbled upon this unassuming gem and can’t wait to go back. It’s OMG good!“

“We happened upon this gem tonight and are so thankful we did! We relaxed while enjoying the beautiful pianist’s music, a cozy, intimate atmosphere and superb food. The service was attentive, friendly, and responsive. They paid attention to us even as we waited for a table without reservations. We plan to return next weekend. What a find! Highly recommend Piano!!“

“I’ve been going here since the day they opened.This place has been here a long time.The atmosphere, the music, the service always on point! Always a fresh flower Rose at every table.Wine selection great!!The food is Amazing!!If you want a good tasting Pizza this is the place to go!!Love!! Will always support!!“

“We’ve really enjoyed our experience at the restaurant! Food was delicious, service was excellent! The only thing I’d point out as negative is that the table tablets have games options and when we use it, it charges you USD 3 for “table games”. Not a problem with that, the only point is that I think consumer should be warned about the charges!“

“My husband and I were starving after picking up some items from usps. This is not our normal everyday area so we were googling resturaunts for a bit until I thought of Italian. We had our 2 year old with us and we felt as though we would be under dressed for how nice this place was on the inside so we sat outside. I have to say, they made us feel so welcomed. Robert was super attentive and so sweet. The host came over and talked to us and our 2 year old. It just made the experience so nice for us as its usually hard to go out with our kiddo. Food came out and we were blown away by everything. So happy we stopped by. We are adding it to our revisit list and places to bring family from out of town! Thank you!“

“This was my first time every trying there food and I tell you it's the boom ??. Delicious food,customer service is outstanding, employees are nice and greeted me as I walked in. Place it nice and clean. I loved my whole experience in Antonio's house of pizza 100/10 definitely recommend!!!!!“

“We had dinner at Turci Pasta on a whim and got SO lucky to walk in and be seated. In the future, we will definitely be making sure to grab a reservation online as the couple behind us were not able to be seated due to the amount of reservations that were made! We truly hit the jackpot!Arthur was our server and he was PHENOMENAL. He offered us their prix fixe menu which was FOUR courses all made from scratch (2 appetizers, an entree, and dessert) for $59/person with the option to add two glasses of wine at $15/person. Arthur was so accommodating and helpful with the menu, was professional and friendly and went the extra mile to make our experience wonderful! We even asked to change our dessert at the last minute and he gladly did so!The food is incredible here. I’m fearful I will never eat Italian the same way again because clearly everything I’ve had before was a lie! It felt as if I was actually abroad in Italy with the intimate atmosphere and incredible food. The pear ravioli was AN AMAZING and out of my comfort zone, but was so worth branching out! We will definitely be back and love the Turci Pasta establishment!“

“Update on update... After my last conversation with Randall We have decided to give our favorite pizza place another try..... and boy oh boy they did not disappoint. We ordered the Eggplant casserole and our go to EXTRAVAGANZA PIE. I have to say we truly enjoyed both dishes. The Eggplant Casserole was on point...perfect Eggplant to cheese and sauce ratio and the EXTRAVAGANZA PIE was MAGNÍFICO.... It was great meeting Randall. We have said it several times and we will say it again. THE BEST PIZZA IN ORLANDO. THANK YOU FOR YOR HOSPITALITY!!!!!“

“Was is desperate need of a real new york style pastrami sandwich, so decided to make the 45 minute drive from Daytona to Longwood as there is no real deli in Daytona beach. Pickles is good not great but pretty good. I would put the pastrami and corned beef on par with Too Jays. The place is pretty cool inside with a full liquor bar. They also serve pizza and a myriad of other subs and desserts, there's something for everyone. It's a far drive so not sure I'd go back, but I would stop again if I was in the area.“

“It has been a long time since I have eaten here. Thank goodness the food was just as good as I remembered. And we were served by a young lady named Paige. She did an excellent job . She was very polite and she did a great job of explaining the menu to us! It is always nice to have a server who takes pride in her work, all with a smile on her face. I would give her 10 stars if I could. I will certainly request for Paige to be our server the next time we dine there. My brother and I, along with our friends enjoyed our meal and the atmosphere. And we could not have gotten any better service having Paige as our server. We will certainly be coming back very soon for another delicious meal. Thank You Paige and the rest of the staff for a night we will remember. Kudos to everyone at this place who made for a very enjoyable evening!!!“

“This is a hidden, but not so hidden gem. It's in the midst of downtown. In a strip with other bars and eateries. The pizza is BOMB! We first started off by getting the slices. My boyfriend gets pepperoni and pineapple, and I like the pepperoni and grinded meatball (yes they will chop up the meatball of requested). Prices are very reasonable for quality and size. Secondly stop in if you're in the area. It's always a Lil vibe in there and in that area.“

“A cozy little Italian restaurant! Authentic cuisine with an amazing full flavor that will leave your tastebuds reeling for more! Definitely recommend you try it. Desert was a great choice as the cheese cake topping was a home made berry sauce that excites the mouth even more!“

“Omg! I was totally impressed!Had the Roasted Red Peppers with garlic and buratta cheese with olive oil as an appetizer. It was a mouth explosion of flavor!All noodles are made from scratch. I had my old stand by Spaghetti and meatballs. It came with two ginormous meatballs, way more than I could eat. It had the perfect sauce to complement.Our server was a punky young gal who could tell you exact ingredients and exactly how it was used in the dish.I will definitely go again!!!“

“I had lunch at cucina today, it was amazing , excellent service , servers are very friendly and nice , definitely a very good spot to come and have a good experience, hank and yiti are the owners super cool guys , definitely have to go see “

“I adore 1803 Pizza Kitchen, and I have been getting takeout from here for years. They have phenomenal homemade desserts, fresh salads, and scrumptious pizza. I have tried many pizzas from here, and I always get the creme brulee. The Veggie Pizza is a rainbow delight, and their Pesto and Burrata Pizza is a savory treat. Even the plain cheese pizza is a great bargain and so flavorful! They use high-quality ingredients. I also adore how they have late night hours and weekly specials. This place is such a local gem.Vegetarian options: Delicious veggie pizza, salads, and dessers! Vegan and vegetarian options.“

“7.2 ? Decent Flop, My recent visit to Pie Fection left me with mixed feelings about their pizza. The crust, while decent, lacked the desired crispiness and chewiness, though it served its purpose well. Unfortunately, the sauce was disappointingly sparse, leaving each bite wanting for more of its tangy flavor. However, the cheese was a standout feature—ample and perfectly gooey, it added a delightful creaminess to the pizza. Overall, while it had its moments, there's room for improvement. Consider it for a quick fix, but if you're seeking pizza perfection, you might want to explore other options that could be much cheaper as a medium pizza will run you about 27$.

“Cozy restaurant with a calm atmosphere. I agree that the dishes differ in presentation and recipes from typical Italian restaurants in Italy. But at the same time, the restaurant offers many variations of deliciously prepared Italian dishes. I definitely recommend visiting this restaurant.“

“My wife and I eat at Jerry's periodically. We had a stromboli delivered and the veggies weren't cooked right. We mentioned it the next day and they made it right. I really appreciate it this kind of service. Nobody's perfect but they gave us our money's worth with a great stromboli the next day.“

“This was a nice casual dining with some high end vibes.The plates were delicious on my choice of a 3 couse meal.The tomatoe basil soup as appetizer was very flavourful, would recommend. Mushroom parpadelle was (on my opinion) just alright. I tried of my friends plate the gnocchi and will get it next time.Desert with lemoncello cake was a great ending to the meal. Didn't try the other deserts, but many look good.I do look forward on coming back and trying different plates.“

“A little tardy in my review, but if I could I would give Cork & Olive 10 stars.The service was unbelievable.The food was fantastic. We had steak, pasta, chicken picatta, diablo something or other and let's not forget Mama's meatballs.The owner and his wife went out of thier way to make our time resemble the Italian family dinners I had growing up with our neighbors. Just with fine service and a bit more style.The gang doesn't get together as often as we like or should, so thank you for making this one of our most memorable.“

“This was okay, I'd probably visit again. The food: I got a chef salad which was mostly fresh and delish. A nice little non-heavy meal. Would order this again. Husband got a slice of pizza that had obviously been reheated. We understand that's how it is with single slices—they obviously aren't going to make a whole pizza to sell one slice. But some pizzas withstand re-heating better than others and ... this wasn't one of those. The garlic knots: The tops of them were good. That may sound weird but ... they were these huge pieces of bread, with just the tops of them were brushed with a garlic-butter mix. Hence 'the tops of them were good'. The sauce they served with the knots was AMAZING. Tasted of fresh tomatoes, absolutely delightful. Service was okay. A little odd. When they served our food, we still hadn't been given utensils. So I had to go looking for some. As I stood around, trying to get someone to assist me, a few people made eye contact and blatantly ignored me. Eventually, one acknowledged me and when I asked for utensils, he seemed to think it was a very strange request, and I got the impression I was putting him out a ton. And then he dug around at the podium by the front door and came up with a couple little packets of plastic utensils. So I'm still not clear on whether there's some sort of "eat with your hands" rule in this establishment that I missed? However, as I stated, the food was decent and we may try again. At the least, I'd get another Chef's salad.“

“Nice family owned Italian restaurant. Ample parking in their private lot. Service was top notch and very helpful explaining menu items. My date ordered smelt as an appetizer and explained she hadn't had it since she was a girl and was her dad's favorite. She ordered a special chicken and shrimp dish with a pink sauce and I had a chicken and Italian sausage dish both were outstanding. We capped it of with house made tiramisu.“

“I stayed in downtown Orlando and needed something satisfying to eat.I looked up Anthony's menu and went for the Turkey Pesto Panini. Unfortunately, it wasn't on the menu for Sunday brunch. But with the above and beyond customer service, Magic happened in Orlando. The cashier said I could get you the same thing in as a pizza.This pizza was everything I needed. Turkey Pesto Pizza on a thin semi crisp crust. This should be a new addition to the menu, in my opinion.The vendu has 4 different seating area to chose from, complete indoor dining, open patio with TVs, the Bar, and streetside seating to enjoy the city's downtown culture.“

“Their food is some of the best! my mom and I started going here when I was in elementary school, and I will keep going as long as they're here. Everything I've had here is absolutely delicious, and over the years I've tried almost everything on the menu. Don't forget the cannoli either, they are the best I've ever had! I also recommend an extra side of marinara, it's amazing!“

“Don't miss out on this place. The food was excellent if you go for the lunch special you really get your moneys worth even comes with dessert and a drink. The server was very nice and attentive. Also spoke Spanish and Portuguese. They could work on the ambience a little more but they just opened up so I'm sure they plan on changing a few things. Everything was very nicely presented to. Definitely don't want to miss out.“

“Went to your East Colonial restaurant today after not being there in a while and am so glad we did! We had a plain cheese pizza and a Greek salad and both were fantastic. If Tomasino’s wasn’t so far from our home I would definitely go much more often. This in my opinion is the best New York style pizza in the East Orlando area.“

“Read about this place online. Great reviews so I tried it. Ordered two Sausage subs, one with Mariana sauce + mozz and the other with peppers, onions & mustard. 5 super Stars! I could taste everything equally & it is delish!. Oh and this place has Muffulettas! Next time for sure!“

“The best pizza and wings take out I’ve had in a long time!!I ordered the 18” cheese and 20 wing(hot) combo with and an order of calamari and an order of fries. Everything was cooked to perfection! The pizza was delicious and cheesy. The wings were big and cooked perfectly too. I ordered the Hot, it was a little on the mild side. The calamari rings were seasoned well and had the perfect crunch. Overall my family loved this place. We give it a 9/10 and WILL be back again ?.“

“We had never been to this restaurant, and we stopped there.After working all day and not wanting to cook dinner for ourselves. We stopped in on a whim and were pleasantly surprised. The soup was amazing, and antipasto salad was the best I have ever eaten. The main entrées were huge and we ate them for days. The meatballs and chicken parm were delicious.“

“This place saved my lunch! Was gonna go to Ethos Vegan Kitchen and drove all the way from Cocoa Beach to go BUT the Health Department closed them down! SO it just happens that this lovely little Italian Pizzeria was right in the same parking lot. We all had something great. They had a Cauliflower pizza crust and Vegan cheese with all kinds of veggies!!! So Yummy I’d drive back just to have it again. Staff was great. Inside and outside dining. A little bit small area but very nice and clean.Vegetarian options: Vegan cheese and lots of veggies for pizza“

“Me and my mother just went here for the first time and I must say it is absolutely spectacular, the outdoor seating has a wonderful view of the Cranes Roots park, our waitresses were extremely kind with outstanding service, and the food was to die for, 100% would recommend to others especially around noon-early afternoon??“

“On my first evening of Staycation 2024, I decided to treat myself to a great dinner, but didn't want to go out. I took delivery of fine dining from Bella Tuscany, a leap of faith for sure to have a meal line this delivered. I had been craving a good steak, and found that Bella Tuscany delivered. I ordered a few things to have plenty of leftovers for tomorrow. Surf & Turf, 8 oz. Filet and 4 ox lobster tail, was perfectly executed. I can only imagine how good it would have been had I been in the restaurant. It was served with creamy mashed potatoes and asparagus. The review is not a 5 because I ordered broccoli in place of the standard asparagus, but they sent the asparagus, which I do not care for. I also ordered a small pizza to have one slice as an appetizer and save the rest for tomorrow. Good pie, but I requested well done and it was not that. My leftover tomorrow will be reheated in oven and should be the doneness I prefer. I also got some meatballs and cannoli. They look great, but I'm stuffed as I write this. All in all, great food. I even liked the delivery guy. Looked like he was a waiter right out of the kitchen. Italian accent and pleasant man. If the rest of the staff are like him, I can't wait to experience a meal "in house." This was my first time enjoying. Food from Bella Tuscany. I look forward to many more.“

“If you are looking for an amazing dinner experience… this is the place! This is where you enjoy delicious, fresh and tasty Italian food. You are welcomed and greeted by management and staff. We love their service, food, quality and ambiance. As a regular customer, today, I especially give a shout out to our waitress Alura. She represents service excellence… pleasant, courteous and very attentive.“
