Sooooo I am not sure of the server Manuel was having a bad night but he was VERY blunt and short with us. He wouldn't tell us his name. My husband asked for limes for his water and Manuel cut him off and said no limes. It was weird. Like he acted like he didn't want to be there and took it out on us. It was such a turnoff that we didn't want to have dessert or apps. The specials is what we got...pork chop parmigiano, and a seafood pasta. The pasta- which should be the star was not the greatest. It needed salt and pepper-so bland. The pork chop was amazing. The seafood pasta was elevated when my

The outside of the restaurant doesn't do the inside justice. Decadent and cozy all together. Ordered the chicken and veal parmigian dinners over spaghetti. The sauce tasted like how I remembered it as a kid growing up in NYC. Just enough sugar to cut the acid. The veal was tender and moist as was the chicken. After dinner, we had their creme brulee. It was made to perfection.. delicious ๐Ÿ˜‹. Don't drink alcohol but I did have a bottle of sparkling water.

This restaurant was wonderful, from the greeting at the door right straight through dinner. Beautiful interior and the staff was outstanding. The food was absolutely the most outstanding Italian food I've had in a very long time. I'd definitely go there again as well as recommend it to everyone.

Nice feel of a true Italian restaurant. The wait staff and hostess were terrific. The Shrimp we're cooked perfectly. Wine selection looked awesome. The water does have an off taste, but I blame that on Orlando and not the restaurant. Don't eat at national chain restaurants while on vacation.

Absolutely amazing food !
Quality, the top !
Quantity, to much !
Price, not the cheapest !
Only hiccupโ€ฆ the service. Welcome is a bit rough and at the end of the dinner some of them could have been definitely more friendly. However, some were very nice.
Only men, maybe that was the reason.
But, after all, amazing food ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

Great restaurant to come at anniversaries. All of our food was great, extremely lobster pasta. I think their pastas are the signiture food. I also liked the sour dough bread. Nice staff, good portion.
