16 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!“

“Ordered a Sicilian Pizza and it was FANTASTIC! Definitely coming here again!“

“We ate at the restaurant on 10/25/25 and the food was delicious and reasonably priced. The homemade pastas and veal were fabulous. The services and atmosphere was also wonderful and I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone. We will definitely visit it again next year. They even took a reservation during the art & craft show which most restaurants won't do at that time. Delicious!“

“excelente comida y bien servicio. Cristina es excelente .“

“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!“

“Before I went in for surgery, all I wanted was a Greek salad and knots. Luigi went above and beyond to make it the best meal I think I've ever had in my life. A cherished friend, wonderful atmosphere, you literally cannot go wrong with Luigi's ❤️“

“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!“

“This is the type of place you only see in movies. A gem...The pizza is delicious, especially if you love the New York style of pizza and the owner Sandy is amazing. She started this pizza co. and was the only thin crust in Lake county at the time. She greets you and even serves you at the table. We just moved to town and couldn't be more excited to have this in our backyard.“

“I appreciate this location looking into a recent complaint with their online services, I felt bad leaving a bad review over something that may have appeared petty. Needless to say it was resolved, and I would still recommend this location to others. Pizza is always hot and fresh, and the staff is amazing in their service. Thank-you for taking time to resolve the issue!“

“I have been to many Hungry Howie's locations, but this one beats them all. Amazing, kind, friendly staff, SUPER fresh food (The Greek Salad was perfect), and the gluten-free crust is surprisingly excellent, especially with the butter garlic flavoring!“

“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 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!“
