13 Best Italian Restaurants in Oviedo

“This is our favorite pizza! My son won’t eat pizza from anywhere else unless he has no choice. The staff is wonderful and manages to give it a small- business feel without compromising quality. We tell everyone about it to make sure they are supported.“

“DINNER REVIEW: LIL VINNY’S PIZZA 2200 Winter Springs Blvd Oviedo, FL 32765 I moved away from Oviedo for a few years, and during my somewhat lonely time living at the beach I decided to write restaurant reviews for every beachside restaurant in Flagler County. Now that I’m back home, I decided to continue writing reviews of the places I eat in Central Florida. For the first time in my life, I have a job where I can walk to nearby restaurants on my lunch break—and Lil Vinny’s Pizza and Pasta is just around the corner. I know real locals hate when Northern transplants talk about missing the pizza we grew up with—but the good news is, the pizza at Lil Vinny’s does remind me of New York pizza—it’s absolutely delicious. Also, I’ve lived in the South since the nineties so I’ll say whatever i want. I didn’t want to write a review that just says “the pizza is good,” so I expanded my menu exploration and tried their cold Italian sub. I’m even pickier about subs than I am about pizza, but this one passed the test. It contained ham, salami, prosciutto, and provolone cheese topped with lettuce, tomato, and onions. I cheated a little bit because I took it home and added the cherry pepper relish I pretend to import from Philly but actually buy in the condiment section of Publix. Anyway, the sandwich is just about perfect and the best part about it is how fresh their rolls taste. Anyone can throw a salad on some deli meat and call it an Italian sub—but it takes attention to detail to get the bread right, and Vinny nails it. Sunday night I went wild and treated myself to a meat lover’s Stromboli—and maybe I said “with extra cheese” when i placed my order—and it was by far the best decision of my three day weekend. Their Stromboli is probably not meant for a single guy to eat alone, and so let’s pretend I cut it into three parts and savored it for several different meals. It was FANTASTIC. I went to the gym afterward maybe. Lil Vinny’s is the perfect hometown pizza place, where the servers know many of the customers by name, where teenagers want to go after the game, and where families push three tables together and order a ton of food to share. I ordered a stack of pizzas to treat my students during a long rehearsal at OHS, and the boss delivered them himself and refused a tip. “It’s for the kids,” he said. Lil Vinny’s knows how to make you feel welcome in your own hometown.“

“We eat here at least once a week. The Gino's special pizza is our absolute favorite. The service is beyond description.

We love this place. We usually sit at the bar and inevitably we meet wonderful people who make our meal that much more enjoyable. LOVE THIS PLACE.“

“I normally do not eat pizza because the red sauce give me stomach pains and the crust is terrible at most pizza places. Hallelujah we found a great pizza place that uses garlic sauce for their white sauce. We got the chicken Florentine and we almost ate the whole large pizza.(it was just 2 of us) The sauce was so delicious and their crust is so good you will want to eat every last peace . I highly recommend Marco’s , not going anywhere else for our pizza., Plus the young lady that helped me was excellent great customer service person.,“

“This place is exactly why I love Mom & Pop restaurants. Every portion is huge. Food is consistently delicious. I'm never disappointed. Everyone that works there, from the front if house to the back, are fantastic. Two thumbs up! I drive from Avalon park just to order from here! Thanks guys for so many delicious meals!!“

“My wife and I came in two nights in a row. Our first night we had Naomi as our server and she was great. My wife tried a ‘beach bum beer’ at her recommendation and it was really good. We loved the garlic knots and the pizza and wings.

The second night we had Tracy and she was also really kind and helpful. Loved interacting with the staff and enjoyed the atmosphere and vibe. We will definitely be back!“
