The Tastiest Italian in Orlando

Olive Garden Italian Restaurant

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (29)

"There were 5 of us on lunch break, they told us it was a 20min wait so we decided to leave but the manager said he could seat us within a few min which was really nice! Several of us got the $8.99 Unlimited Soup & Salad. Food was yummy. Our server disappeared after the food got out and we asked another server for things we still needed. Overall, okay service, likely to come back in the future"

Limoncello South

★★★★☆ 4 (178)

"My family and I are Italian, so naturally we have to try all the Italian restaurants in town! I heard this place has a cheese wheel, so my curiosity began to grown. We came here on a Thursday evening with a reservation and were greeted by an angry young woman who told us there would be a wait. We waited patiently for 5-10 minutes as she stared into the abyss that was her podium. Whether she was on a phone or tablet, no one will know. Eventually we made our way inside to our cramped table. Much precaution had to be taken to not hit the seats behind you or have a waiter run into you as they went by. Removal of a few tables would greatly benefit the flow of traffic inside. An older gentleman was our waiter who told us all about the specials and drink options. We decided on calamari which came out hot and crispy. For dinner, we ordered the lasagna, piccata and marsala. The food came out hot and had good flavor. However, I don't think the price fairly reflects the portion served given the numerous top-notch Italian restaurants in the area. Maybe it was just the evening we came but I wouldn't recommend this restaurant off of first impressions. The Garlic, Baci and Tianos will remain my go-tos for now."

Mangino's

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (63) • $$

"Service - Excellent on a Sunday night (4th of July weekend)Food - Speedy and delicious!We came here after a day at Epcot. While we didn't stay at Shades of Green, we are still eligible to dine and use the spa here because of my husband's disability eligibility. The prices for an Italian steak house can't be beat. We were a party of 6, including our preteens and 1 year old. The ambiance was nice for a date night, but also low key for a family after a day at the parks. Many were super casual. Our server was attentive and gave good recommendations."

F&D Woodfired Italian Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.2 (481) • $$

"Whether for dinner, drinks, or just a snack - I love this place! First off- parking is tricky. So know that going in. You might get lucky, or you might have to look around for a bit. But it will be worth it. Ride your bike! The restaurant has a very upscale vibe, while simultaneously feeling very "Florida casual". You'll be at home in a suit jacket or flip flops. The service is always super friendly and they have an inside/outside bar for while you wait. The food is incredible. Pizza is amazing and pastas are all very good. I haven't had anything didn't like. Great for celebrations or just happy hour. Do yourself a favor and head to F&D!"

Prato

★★★★☆ 4.3 • $$

"A Prato review. Let me start with the "Best" List:*Best Date Restaurant*Best Italian Restaurant*Best Restaurant OverallSource: Orlando Weekly 2024I've enjoyed Prato a number of times over the years. In increasingly measure, it's become my choice for a special date night or occasion. As another Yelp Elite reviewer wrote, "If I could give a 10 out of 5 (rating), I would." I agree. After years of frequenting, I've found that reservations are the best way to ensure a day and time when I can enjoy the splendid service and fabulous food with friends and family. The restaurant is regularly packed even though ample seating is located both inside and outside. The bar "island" is the place to go between lunch and dinner. Drinks and a truncated food menu are available while table service is not. One of my food favorites is the pizza, baked in an oven visible from almost anywhere in the place and worth the wait. Diavolo and Funghi (vegetarian) regularly arrive at our table (or the bar in the tween time) and are always enjoyed. Should one not meet the restaurant's standards, we have found they will remake it and the server or manager will apologize for the delay. I've enjoyed fish ceviche, gnocchi, seasonal soups, paninis, and the Angus Beef Burger (yum), to name a few starters and main entrees. The adult beverages range from aperitif, to beers on tap and in bottles, to cocktails. Non-alcoholic drinks are also available. My wife and I have experienced top-notch service that balances between hovering and ignoring. We have always enjoyed our servers' recommendations and engagement. The playlists usually keep the mood lively. I remember a fantastic time on a Saturday afternoon with a fun 70's and 80's dance music when even the servers were singing. Recommendation: Make reservations if you want to ensure a full-service experience. The bar is good if you just want to pop in for a drink or quick bite, but be aware that you still might need to wait."

Neapolitan Italian Eatry

★★★★☆ 3.9 (71)

"This place is so great. The pizza dough is the best in Florida if you ask me. They filter the water 7 times which makes the dough taste so much better. The decor is just a typical small pizzeria, eclectic but cute. The service is prompt and personable. Jennifer as excellent. The mozzarella sticks are deliciousy gooey. I ordered the sausage and peppers sandwich and my friend ordered spaghetti and meatballs lunch special. The portions are huge and everything was incredible. This is a place that you could easily become a regular at. The prices are reasonable especially for your portion size."

Antonio's House of Pizza

★★★★☆ 3.5 (190) • $$

"I recently ordered delivery from this pizza shop via Uber Eats over the weekend, and I'm so glad I did! I was craving pizza and stumbled upon their suggested deal on Uber Eats - buy one get one free on their medium cheese pizza. I also added truffle fries and a slice of cheesecake to my order. Everything was delicious! The quality and value were impressive, and I'll definitely be ordering from them again soon!"

Chicago Stop

★★★★★ 4.6 (7)

"Quick sandwich spot inside Plant St MarketI can specifically for the Italian Beef. It was good but not great. Pretty salty and not enough giardinara for me. It was a decent size, though. They don't sell French fries, but thankfully the restaurant across from them offers fries - so I bought some from them. If you're here and want a sandwich it's a good option, but I wouldn't go out of my way."

Giovanni's Pizzeria & Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.1 (37)

"Visiting family who just moved into the area, my kids wanted pizza so we decided to give this place a try. I'm originally from western NY and live in Tampa. Finding good Italian is a struggle in Florida and I've given up on finding decent pizza.This place is incredible. The portions were huge! I didn't take hardly any photos because I was distracted by catching up with the family. The bread they start with is SO good.We got the mozzarella appetizer and I wish I had photos of the cheese pull from it. The mozzarella was so fresh and so good.The garlic cheese bread was *eh* and probably the only thing I wouldn't order again. It wasn't bad but it wasn't anything memorable.I got the calzone and it was HUGE. I got a plain cheese and it was so good. I only ate about half of it. Family got the fettuccine Alfredo, the "personal pan pizza" (which was HUGE) and chicken Marsala. The Alfredo sauce had so much flavor and was a great consistency. Nobody had any complaints.Our server was outstanding as well. Answered any questions and was super attentive. She spoke highly of the restaurant, the quality, and the owners. Absolutely will be back next time I'm in the area"

Jerry's Pizza

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (76) • $$

"Food: I haven't tried anything but the pizza but let me tell you - the pizza is excellent NY style pizza AND you can order by the slice. Pizza is thin, but not too floppy. It always has this crispy crunch on the bottom that pairs so well with the cheesiness on top. All of the ingredients taste fresh and it is SUPER consistent on flavor and quality, which I really appreciate. Service: Great service! Family owned and you can feel the love here. Very nice people, always courteous, always make sure you're happy. Ambiance: I think I prefer take away at this location, however, you can definitely eat there and enjoy. It is comfortable, casual, hole-in-the-wall (but in a good way), clean, booths and tables available"

Luxe Terra Bleu Steak Seafood & Pasta

★★★★☆ 3.8 (13)

"I came thinking it was a Black Angus still and was disappointed I would not be getting prime rib. Nevertheless, the filet was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The service was kind, friendly, and right on point. One thing that could be improved is the lighting; I found it a little too brightly lit so -1 star for ambiance."

Pizzeria Valdiano

★★★★☆ 4 (213) • $

"Stopped in on a whim the other day. Not busy on a Sunday afternoon so we walked right up to the counter and placed our order. Everyone seemed to have enjoyed their meals. I personally had the meatball sub and would definitely order it again. Super flavorful meatball, delicious red sauce, melty cheese and a crispy, yet soft sub roll."

App's Pizza

★★★★☆ 3.6 (68) • $

"Great local Italian restaurant with waitress service. Our waitress Tammy was so friendly and helpful. The food was delicious and was served promptly. They do have beer and wine. We ordered the fried calamari as an appetizer. We then ordered the chicken Parmesan and the fettuccine Alfredo with chicken. Both portions were so large we could barely finish half and took the rest home. I would highly recommend this restaurant if you're in the mood for a good Italian meal."

Pizzeria Valdiano

★★★★☆ 4 (117) • $$

"Do you like Pizza? Of course you do! For some reason, I've never tried this place in my 9 years of living in East Orlando, and I have been missing out.I love pizza by the slice more than ordering a whole pie. It just tastes better when it's cooked, sliced, displayed and reheated to order. The crust is crispier, the sauce doesn't scorch your mouth, and you can try more than one kind of pizza.I tried the pepperoni which was good, but nothing to write home about as it had some coverage, but not great. The "white" pizza didn't have sauce and was delicious with dollops of ricotta scattered about. My large slice had 3 larger sections of the ricotta. The flavors were there, but the coverage wasn't all that great for me.The dough is legit with crispy outside and chewy inside, so that's a great start to the pizza. The other ingredients are of high quality, but something was slightly missing for me. I may try one of their specials as the slice method can get pricey. Even though it's good, I probably won't be a regular."

The Italian Joint

★★★★☆ 4.3 (140) • $$

"Ok wow!! I was pleasantly surprised. I read the reviews and thought, surely this can't be that good, but I was so wrong! I stopped by for lunch, and the warm and inviting ambiance immediately set the tone. The decor was charming and authentic, with plenty of natural light streaming in, creating a cozy yet lively vibe that made me feel like I was dining in a little corner of Italy.The service was great. It was attentive without being overbearing. The staff genuinely seemed to care about making the experience special, offering great recommendations and ensuring everything was perfect.And the food? Absolutely divine. I had the eggplant parm sandwich to go, and it was amazing--crispy, flavorful, and layered with just the right amount of toppings and cheese. Every bite was perfection. That bread!!This place truly exceeded my expectations in every way! If you're debating whether to give it a try, don't hesitate. You won't regret it!"

Vito's Chop House

★★★★☆ 3.9 (507) • $$$$

"Trying someplace new can be stressful for us. My husband and I have our favorite restaurants. When we try something new and have a subpar experience, we look at each-other like WHY??? why didn't we go where we already know it's good, especially when visiting high end restaurants. I AM EXTREMELY HAPPY TO REPORT...It was my birthday dinner evening, so I decided I wanted to try something new since my husband would know better than to complain to me on my birthday!Charley's Steakhouse is our favorite steakhouse in Orlando - Vito's is sort of the Italian version of Charley's but with a fancier vibe. I was so happy to see Vito's had the same bread, which I call fluffy little balls of goodness!! This bread is so soft and warm and appeals to every carb part of my soul! The bread at Vito's had a garlic top on it - and the butter also had Italian herbs in it ( I believe). Once you have the carbs, your brain naturally needs the sweetness of their fabulous Rose Drop Martini! Of course you also need a crunch...The salad was so fresh, crunchy, flavorful, and the dressing is refreshing. Cali was our server. She was the perfect balance of letting us know she is there without being on top of us. Cali guided us through the menu at an easy pace, just enough to visually check if any of us had questions. Cali let us know the specials of the night. She brought everything we asked for in an easy breezy way - quick without feeling rushed. Her area was very full - I'm not sure how she took such good care of us being so busy. Kudos to her!!! I decided to try the Portobello mushroom fondue for the appetizer. This combo sounded strange to me -but it's my night to be adventurous... WOW, is all I can say. It's lightly fried - no heavy fried feeling which I was worried about. As you dip the sliced mushroom into the warm dip, all the flavors melt into your mouth. I instantly felt thrilled to try something new! More warm bread is brought to the table because this girl loves to eat!!! Yummy!The struggle continues with ordering my dinner!!!!!!! I am obsessed with the Faroe Island Salmon At Charley's which Vito's has But Vito's has a Grouper Francese... keeping with my theme of the night to explore, I ordered the Grouper! This dish did not disappoint in the slightest! Fresh, light, just enough lemon to wake-up your mouth. We ordered the truffled Alfredo pasta. We watched it be prepared at many other tables. A server prepares the pasta in a huge cheese wheel in front of you. It is the freshest, creamiest carb Heaven you will ever need in your life! My husband ordered the Beef carpaccio which he said was out of this world. My brother in law ordered the salmon! Now!!! My brother in law understands why I always order the salmon at Charley's! He confirmed that dish is the best fish he has ever had, as if I would steer him wrong!! Well the diet is blown for all of 2025 already so why not eat more!!! The butter cake is the equivalent to whatever dessert your mom makes on special holidays! You know that feeling of the first bite and immediately everything is perfect in the world!! I'm not a big fan of chocolate cake but this layered love fest with mini chips on it - has changed me! But wait, there's more!!!! They have an Almond Creme Cake that might be the most delicious treat I have ever enjoyed! I'm a huge tiramisu fan, this Heaven on Earth dessert reminds me of that type of texture but with little crunchies on top. The cake is soft, creamy, flavorful, and then finishes with the crunch - I can't think of anything better!!!! What a perfect combination of food, atmosphere, service, and company! The portions are large for a fine dining restaurant. Even the wallpaper in the bathrooms are adorable! An absolutely perfect birthday dinner! We will be back very soon & try more new things!!"

Villa Italiano Chophouse

★★★★☆ 3.8 (100)

"We made reservations for a Friday night. We walked in and were seated right away. It wasn't terribly busy. We had a young man as our server and he was very friendly and polite. We started out with the bruschetta. I personally thought the bread was too toasted and hard. I prefer it lightly toasted so it doesn't tear up the top of my mouth. I ordered the ravioli and the noodles were delicious and cooked perfectly but the meat inside was dry and bland. I wouldn't order that again. We also ordered the bolognese which was pretty good. Our service was terribly slow. The ambience was nice. It would be great outside when the weather cools off. Not sure I would return."

Ciao Italia Ristorante

★★★★☆ 3.9 (600) • $$

"I feel naive calling this place a "hidden gem", as it's the longest running family owned Italian restaurant in central Florida, but this place really did blow me away. Located in a small strip mall by SeaWorld and the convention center, Ciao Italia is the best Italian food I've had in Florida, period. The penne vodka with salmon was absolutely amazing, I'll be dreaming of it for awhile now, but I'm still so excited to go back and try different dishes! My dad had the veal parmigiana and absolutely loved it. We split coffee and the tiramisu for dessert, and despite being incredibly full from dinner, I shamelessly scraped every tiramisu crumb off of the plate. Our waiter and hostess were kind and helpful, you can tell the staff really knows the restaurant and the menu items like the back of the hands, it's just a very neat experience overall. I only hope that they add this salad of the day to their permanent menu because it was absolutely spectacular (yes, I called a salad "spectacular")Will definitely be throwing this spot in my rotation of frequently visited restaurants!"

Nonno's Italian Restaurant

★★★★★ 4.6 (559) • $$

"I'd been seeing a lot of rave reviews about Nonno's from fellow Yelpers, so my husband and I finally gave them a try. Spoiler alert: we weren't disappointed!Nonno's (which translates into "grandpa" in Italian) is located in a strip mall in Altamonte Springs that off of Semoran Blvd./State Road 436. They don't take reservations so be prepared to wait as they are extremely popular. My husband and I went on a Friday night around 5:30pm and our wait time was 50 minutes.Once we got inside, service was quick but friendly and not rushed. The decor is that of a typical Italian restaurant and they have both table and booth seating. Our food arrived quickly, yet tasted as though it had been slow cooking all day. We opted to start with fried mozzarella sticks as an appetizer and also received complimentary homemade warm bread served with a pesto sauce that I could've drank it was so good! Our side salads before the meal were fresh and my husband said that the homemade Cesar salad dressing was the best he'd ever tasted. For entrees, he chose the lasagna while I chose the chicken pizzaiola. Both were hearty and delicious! Nonno himself was walking around the restaurant- greeting customers - ensuring that everything was at everyone's satisfaction. We will most definitely return!"

Piazza Italia

★★★★☆ 4 (341) • $$

"A group of 5 of us came to this location on Christmas Eve. I had heard great things from a friend so I was eager to try it. We started with some wine and drinks. The wine was delicious and the sever, extremely attentive to our table. Next we got the bruschetta as an appetizer which I thought as really really good. That along with the bread could have been my main meal. But I decided to get one of their seafood hot plate specials. I didn't love everything on my plate, but appreciated the things that were not fried. It just didn't taste as fresh as I would have liked. I think next time I'll stick to the pizza. We then shared a delicious desert that was a special at the time as well (I think?)Overall, come check this place out ! Maybe stay away from the seafood dishes and try the pasta and pizza. That will be my next choices!"

Spoleto Italian Kitchen

★★★★☆ 3.5 (21)

"If you like overpaying for pasta, then this is the place for you. Sure, it's good and you can customize what you want in/on your pasta, but to me, the pasta portion size was a bit small for the money. Pasta is cheap and my inner Italian wants to go all Soprano's on them... Bada Bing Bada Boom!Pizzas on the other hand are a different ball game. I've had a few here. The Quattro Formagio pizza on one visit was delicious, and I think it had 3 or 4 different kinds of cheeses (I forget). The pepperoni burrata pizza was amazing, although it DID look like one of those Chuck E Cheese conspiracy pizzas (look at the pic).With Mangia just up the road now, it's tough to justify going here for Italian. And if Fazoli's keeps expanding in FL and makes it's way east, then Fuhgeddaboudit!When at the Avalon Marketplace, this is a solid choice amongst the sea of other places, and is probably one of the better options if you're pretty hungry for pizza. It's on the opposite side from Bowigens in the corner on the way to the bathroom!"

Enzo's Hideaway Tunnel Bar

★★★★☆ 3.9 (605) • $$$

"Enzo's was a fantastic choice for the day! This weekend we swung into the springs while in town because, well why not! We love how eclectic the springs are and today we had a hankering for an Italian lunch with some formidable cocktails. Located between the orange and lime garage near the back you'll find this super sweet hideaway prohibition bar. We were seated promptly (with reservation, we did overhear some others trying to walk up and were wait listed due to a busy lunch time). Our server was Samantha and she was an absolute treat! Incredibly attentive and very happy to help us make some choices when everything just sounded so good! I personally went with the Grigio panini and a perfect choice it was! The sandwhich had so much flavor to it, chicken wasn't dry at all and everything tasted super fresh! Before hand we had the calamari and, honestly, it feels weird to say it but I think it was better than the boathouse calamari! The hot peppers were so so good with it too honestly could have had two batches! So we have established the food was worth it, however it's a prohibition bar, can we talk booze?! I love to find a good old fashioned that strays from the path and they did very well with a new seasonal with hazelnut...however, I must suggest the smugglers courage to be tried. The presentation was fantastic and the drink was nothing short of delicious. Granted with this being a nice place, great service and food/drinks that you can appreciate, you can imagine this isn't a cheap spot. For 2 rounds, 2 entrees and 1 app we were just under $200 with tip. We all know Disney isn't cheap but hey, treat yourself to Enzo's hideaway I promise you'll be happy you did!"

Stavros Pizza And Grill

★★★★☆ 3.5 (50) • $$

"As a visitor, we had an unremarkable pizza at Stavros Pizza and Grill. Now, if you're a fan of huge, $6.50 beers, then this place might work for you. Stavros is located in an old strip center and personally, I'd just keep driving north to the next small town of Deland. (We didn't do our research and were hoping to just stumble on a delightful little hole-in-the-wall. Not so.) The neighboring town of Deland has super cute, small town vibes and better dining options. We would not come back here."

It is in the four seasons hotel in Golden Oaks and it's a great experience to have breakfast with Mickey and friends. The buffet is great. It's a little more classy than a typical Disney World hotel breakfast buffet. The ambience here is pretty quiet and tame. You don't have the hustle and bustle as you do at a Disney resort restaurant. The service is great. Everything is very timely and the very friendly. It is out of the way, but if you're driving within Disney World property, this is an easy short distance drive."

The outside seating is really nice and inside the restaurant it is loud but you can see the chefs at work in the kitchen. We went here recently to celebrate my mom's birthday and enjoyed the magical dining menu for $40 including an appetizer, entree and dessert. Everything was so good! Calamari fritti, shrimp cocktail, spaghetti Alla vongole, veal piccata, and pumpkin ravioli. For dessert we had the tiramisu and a limoncello cake that were both to die for! I've been nonstop thinking about the meal the last few days and had to give them a good review.

I actually liked that I could clearly see it before getting seated. Staff is friendly with reasonable timely service. We shared a salad a believe it was called a "farm salad". Whatever it was called it was one of the most delicious salads I have ever eaten. It had greens and grains and the dressing was silky and flavorful. Last time I was there I had the Margarita pizza which was good but decided to go for it and get the sausage and pepper pizza and it was absolutely amazing!
