Food and service were excellent. Noise level from a table of around 12.people was ridiculously high, which means the lack of acoustic control. That was the only negative for this establishment.

Food and service was excellent. Quiet enough to talk. Great place for a date. Great selection of wine and drinks. Recommend this place without hesitation.

Our first time at this restaurant was a vey enjoyable experience. Delighted to recommend it for special days.

Excellent culinary experience.  Beef and cabbage rolls were flavorful. Beet salad was also just right. The catch of the day was obviously fresh, wonderfully flaky, and thick-cut. The oxtail fettuccine was bright, zesty, and meaty. Portions were more than satisfying.  This is not a place to skip dessert, and I'm not really a huge dessert person. Not only were they beautiful, but they were also unique in flavor and preparation. Service was top-notch with warm, friendly staff from start to finish. Not only was our server great but I admired the work of servers at other tables. These employees appreciate their jobs and their customers.  If you are sensitive to salt or have a low sodium diet, do ask for light salt during your food preparation! My companion and I thought the dishes were on the salty side.

Incredible dinner experience! Service by Erick was fantastic! The charcuterie board was awesome! I had the 1/2 chicken and my wife had the buccatini carbonara and both were delicious! We will be back!

Another lovely evening at Cala Bella! Vince took great care of us- professional and friendly service at this very well managed restaurant which is one of our favorites. Excellent kitchen staff makes the BEST salad in Orlando (thanks Carmen!) and the lasagna can't be beat!

Food and service was great. Hostess was extremely helpful in our request for an earlier reservation, which was appreciated.

The restaurant as extremely loud! Very hard to have a conversation. A few of our guests could not join in across the table. The service was poor to mediocre at best. At least our server was. Not great attention, long times between check ins. The food was delicious, even though it was a little overpriced. Good decor and amazing dessert.

The hotel is beautiful, huge, rooms were great, lots of choices on places to eat. HUGE DOWNSIDE…. Parking!!! There was a cheering competition here(no I didn’t know when we booked or we wouldn’t have!) so we had to park about a mile away from the hotel every time we wanted to come and go, even though we have handicap parking they didn’t have any spots only a couple that have been taken since we got here. And don’t forget anything you need. Lol Hubby ran out of cigarettes, ran down to the little market downstairs. $18.00 a pack.

The service was great. I got a special, shrimp scampi and pasta. The pasta was dry with a little flavor. The shrimp were tough hard to cut probably cook too long and devoid of flavor. Table mate fare was better.

The food was decent. Really enjoyed the mussels appetizer. I ordered the half chicken. The chicken was a lot smaller than expected for a half chicken, but they really did a good job with the flavor and cooked it well.

It's just 5 stars all around. No complaints at all. The friendliness, service and attention to detail from the staff (Chanthi) was absolutely top notch. No need to elaborate on the food too much because of course it was succulent. I had the Ceretto white wine, Salmon Carpacio, the catch of the day-Sword Fish and the Limoncello tiramisu. Delicious, tasty and beautiful.

Besides being a family oriented place is also a very romantic place perfect for a night out with your significant other.

Parking: Free Valet parking. Just ask your waiter to validate/stamp your ticket. And of course tip the valet guy.

Kid-friendliness: It's pretty much a family oriented fine dining type of restaurant.
