18 Best Italian Restaurants near Mount Dora

“Went in a Friday night over the Arts Festival weekend. They were busy, but staff seated us fairly quickly. We ordered a veggie pizza - it came out huge, hot & delicious. The veggies were very fresh, the crust was not too thick or thin & it had the right amount of cheese. Our waitress was friendly & attentive. We feel like we picked a great place & wish we had more time to go back & choose one of their Italian dishes!“

“The restaurant was very busy and we had made a reservation. We arrived a few minutes early and we were greeted by a very nice young man. We could see that it was going to be awhile, but we were not concerned. They kept telling us how sorry they were, (they were short handed) and the owner/chef even came out to thank us for being so patient. We were seated and the chef came out and apologized again. I ordered a glass of wine from him and then received another. He also gave us a special treat as a thank you for our kindness and patience. We ordered and cannot say enough of how good the food once. I am Italian, have eaten in Italy numerous times and this is like being there. He has a good menu, not large, but the food is excellent. When we ordered we received our food quickly. We plan to return to Mount Dora, as we cruise a lot, and definitely will visit them again!“

“Anthony, the business owner is very accommodating as he especially made stuffed shells for me even if it was no longer on the menu and it was made perfect! The shell was cooked just right and the cheese inside , mah-velous! Our OT John was amazed how much filling and meat was in his calzone. And the canoli? It was nothing like ones i buy from Whole Foods. LOL! The filling did make a difference, not boring and did not taste powdery. Not too sweet, just right. The crust? Fresh and crunchy! Overall, we enjoyed our lunch at the clinic where we had take out from QZO. Thank you, Anthony from QZO!“

“This was my first time ordering from there. The food was great, but the delivery driver put our food on the steps and stood in the street taking a picture of the order. With the extra delivery and service charges, I would have expected at least a person to hand me my food. There wasn't even the courtesy of knocking on the door.“

“This place is one of the best places to eat out in downtown MountDora. Me and my family stopped here to grab some pizza’s, we ended up trying subs, wings, salads, good thing we did because this was the best food ever, jayden was such a nice young man taking are orders because they were so busy he also came back multiple times checking in on us and making sure we were ok. i give this place a 10/10 and definitely recommend you to try.“

“Very good food….had lunch outside on the patio today, which is beautiful. Our waiter was very accommodating…..hip was bothering me, so he brought me a fluffy cushion to sit on. Also recommended a wonderful white wine. Perfect lunch…..excellent food!“

“wonderful place great food terrific service“

“Stay away from this place. On 11/23/22 ordered wings and fries. The wings were undercooked and blonde hair was in my fries. I discreetly told the waitress who then told the manager. The manager Got upset not because hair was in my food more so because he had to throw away 6 wings! I asked for a refund and will never return. Cooks cook with no hair net and no gloves STAY AWAY!“

“We stopped by for lunch today and I chose one of the several Daily Specials of Lasagna & Garlic knot and OMG 😳 that was honestly the best I’ve ever had with just the right amount of spice. My husband had 10ct wings “Garlic Parmesan” and also Loved them. We shared a Greek salad with yummy dressing. We will most definitely be back! Sam was a great server and we never had to ask for drink refills because she saw we had half or less and filled them up. Great Food, Great Prices & Awesome Server “Sam”“

“New to the area. Beat pizza we’ve tried so far. Can’t wait to come back for some of those amazing Italian dishes on the menu and their dessert cabinet is exploding with amazing choices!“

“Best calzones in town! Best costumer service! Kind and friendly, I just can't say enough. Please, please, please support small businesses. We definitely get what we pay for and Cafè Verona does not disappoint.“

“I’ve been eating Del Franco’s pizza for years. The very best pizza. They cook it like you ask. You can eat in or they will deliver it. They do charge a delivery fee. It’s worth it to go in to eat. My grandchildren always want to go eat their pizza. Great food.“

“I've lived here for 12 years and had never gone in because the building from the outside looks like a fine dining restaurant, meaning you would get dressed up to go there. My friend took me there because she wanted to get a gyro and said that they had good food and good service. When I walked in I couldn't believe it!!! It was so casual in the setting was like a pizzeria. The service was excellent, the food was excellent! They do sell pizza, specialty sandwiches, spaghetti and other items. I had the lasagna, because that is my ultimate favorite dish. It was awesome! Prices are very reasonable. I can't believe that I've overlooked this little gem of a restaurant. This is my new favorite place to go to!“

“The best baked subs ever! The Italian is my favorite, but also have great other options. I recently bought an Italian for lunch and it is enough to make 2 to 3 meals. I definitely recommend to give it a try. Also the employees are kind, friendly and know how to make a killer sub!

Parking: It's all good ?“

“I recommend their salads 100% but surely don't call them when you get home & your pizza dough is RAW. They will not replace or refund.. they want you to bring them the pizza so they can "look at it". Thank you Maddie for telling me I was wrong over the phone.. I'll eat my RAW pizza. 5 star salad, 1 star customer service.“

“We are in the area to stay with family for the holiday. Was looking for a pizza place on Google we had never had. What an excellent choice! The butter cheese flavored crust is to die for! The ingredients were plentiful and the meal deals really help feed the family. Too bad we dont have one of these in our area. This will be our go to place for pizza moving forward.“

“We are over the moon on the service we received. Everything was fresh and delicious! � The black lady running the dining room buffet today was on top of everything, she's a gem � We'll be back!“
