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!“

“Jaydon totally took care of us, he was courteous and professional. The food was outstanding.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Food was amazing, prices reasonable and our server Alicia couldn’t have been better. Highly recommend“

“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”“

“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.“

“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!“

“It was our first time here. We've been to another Takis but this one has a slightly different menu. I decided to get the Hawaiian pizza and actually I was surprised that I did enjoy it. My husband got the Gyro platter And it was good. However, ideally he prefers the meat to be shaved off of the rotisserie spit which they do not have here. But the amount of food was generous and it was priced fairly. Food came out rather quickly. It was hot and cooked properly.
I wish they had a cauliflower crust pizza because I've been starting to get into that lately but I did enjoy the pizza nonetheless.
Our server was fast and efficient.
Really no complaints at all. They have their own parking lot.
The only reason I gave it three stars on the atmosphere is because the place is a little bit boring, but I know it's hard to justify a lot of modern decor or updated decor of any type with things being so tight nowadays.

It's a little further away from us than we would normally go just for an easy lunch, but we would definitely go back.“

“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.“

“This was a extremely clean, hungry Howies I see they take pride and clean the tables. I didn’t see one dirty table, and the staff was extremely nice.

No racist or prejudice vibes in here.

I recommend this place and will only ever eat pizza from this location.“

“Has never failed me everytime I have come here for lunch, the staff are the best especially Santos! They are precise and particularly excellent with each and every pizza I have ordered!

I would 100% recommend this location for it’s efficiency, it’s kindness, it’s timely delivery, and the overall satisfaction of it’s operations!!😁🫶“

“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!“
