Mila was our server and she was very kind, professional, efficient and poised. She took great care of our group. Our food…amazing. The servings were HUGE and flavorful.
A big plus: Darryl (host) was so kind and fun as he volunteered to take many pics of our group in front of the ristorante. He and Mila are great ambassadors of your business. We will return.
Grazie !! 🇮🇹
Bad Restaurant Host by the name of Daryl 👎👎👎 I am sooo disappointed the way me and my family was treated, at to me personally my favorite restaurant hands down in Central Florida - Francesco should really take a 2nd look at how their clients are being treated, very sad‼️
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!

Customers have described it as the best-tasting and best-run Italian restaurant in the entire Central Florida area and possibly the state.
The restaurant is a delicious treat for business meetings in Orlando, with a 5-star Chef who has won awards since the day he opened. Reservations are recommended, as the place is in high demand. The family-friendly atmosphere and the Chef's dedication to the restaurant make it a favorite for special occasions, such as birthdays, where guests can enjoy the fish special, chicken parmesan, and the Zuppa di Pesce, along with a selection of delectable desserts like the lemon cream cake, tiramisu, and profiteroles.
Recent reviews highlight the warm and inviting atmosphere, with friendly service from staff like Gina and Mila. The grilled octopus was excellent—perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The pasta was tasty, but some found it disappointing that it was served in short pieces, which is considered a serious culinary misstep for those with Italian heritage. Despite that, guests were very satisfied overall, praising the large, flavorful portions and the professional, kind service. Many plan to return to try the pizzas and enjoy the wonderful experience again.
