Sue and I have not been to this place since they converted to sit-down and order. Finally joining the real restaurant world. We have eaten here about 20 times in the last few years and have always enjoyed the food, but felt strange with the get-your-own-drink aspect of it.
Anyways, we are seated at our favorite booth, Perry Como, Elvis, Dean Martin, and Sinatra (the usual suspects) crooning at a comfortable level, with decent speakers. Oscar greeted us and took our drinks...read full review

Best Italian food in Winter Garden. And NOW with full service and liquor bar! Great for us locals! 🍝🍷

The food here is amazing. I highly recommend this restaurant. I have been going here for years and it is by far the best. Family atmosphere. I was here today for my parent's anniversary and Tommy and the staff treated us like we are family.
