22 Best Italian Restaurants near Sorrento

“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.“

“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!“

“We were passing through Tavares on our way to Central Florida from North Carolina. Had a hankering for pizza and it was near the hotel. Happy to report it was some of the best pizza we have ever had. Even took the leftovers with us and had cold pizza the next day in the car. Highly recommended!!“

“We had a celebration for my folks’ 50th anniversary here and it was so great. We really enjoyed the food and the staff were some of the kindest people I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting.“

“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!“

“Shared a wonderful meal with friends at Caffè Positano. We ate outside and enjoyed the fresh air and festive atmosphere. I ordered the salmon with broccoli which was perfectly seasoned and prepared to perfection.

Give Caffè Positano a try. You will not regret it.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“Best style of ny pizza I’ve had in Florida!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Best pizza in Central Florida! Jets Detroit style is incredible for me, well worth the 30 minute drive.“

“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.“

“We really wanted a deep dish pizza, and Rosati's was the closest to us. It was a 53 minute drive, and so well worth it! The food was great, and the service was excellent! So professional and friendly. We will definitely be making the journey again!“

“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 love them over any of the others like pizza hut and dominos. I was introduced to their pizza at my job function and been in love ever since. They honor promotions without hesitation. The only concern is when I order bacon for my 1 topping that I get it. If I wanted cheese pizza I would've ordered it. I must say it's not on every order but it happens. Hopefully it can be corrected.“

“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!“

“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!“
