11 Best Italian Restaurants near Tavares

“The food is always fresh and amazingly tasty! You can tell they don’t skip corners and only use the highest ingredients. The marinara is off the charts good! I got the large Calzone today and it was more than enough for a couple people. They can make any of their specialty pizza into a calzone. Always a pleasant experience. Customer service was very good.“

“We are in the area to stay with family for the holiday. Was looking for a pizza place on Google we had never had. What an excellent choice! The butter cheese flavored crust is to die for! The ingredients were plentiful and the meal deals really help feed the family. Too bad we dont have one of these in our area. This will be our go to place for pizza moving forward.“

“Reminiscent of my New York days eating at the local pizzeria. I had the Italian sub which was meaty and fresh and very good. My friend had a calzone which was huge and the small was really big enough for two people. Food was priced appropriately. The facility was clean and the staff there was friendly and knowledgeable.“

“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!“

“Went here Easter weekend with my 9 year old. Ordered two 10 inch pizzas to eat in and have leftovers. She had cheese pizza, I had Margarita pizza. Both were excellent, with fresh ingredients and handmade crusts. Staff was very pleasant and welcoming, waitress was very attentive and friendly. Pizzas were $10.99 each but tea and soda was a little pricey at $4. We enjoyed our meal and will be back, hopefully next time the guy behind us wont be loudly spewing the F word!P.S. It's in the old breakfast place on side road off 44, not much street parking but we walked from the park.“

Like all other elements of our dining experience she was awesome. The food was incredible! I highly recommend the carbonara. It was quite impressive howGianni visited our table multiple times to assure that our experience was perfect.If you are unable to dine here, I am sorry that you have missed out.“

“Good food . We all had the daily special today . Liked the salad too . Not a long wait . Lots of parking available , lots of options. Huge bread portions, kinda drowned in oil , sauce kinda salty and very little meat in meat sauce . Overall good food tasted great“

“We ate dinner there for the first time. It was ok. Not anything to write home about. We tried their lasagna, and quite honestly, I have had better. The salad was really good, which came with the meal along with garlic bread. For an appetizer, we had fried pepperoni. It was excellent. For desert, we had what was called cheeze Cake Factory chocolate cheeze cake. I have been to the Cheeze Factory, and this was not from there. The portion was very small compared to cheeze Cake Factory.If we go there again, we try their pizza.“
