After being stuck inside for nearly 48 hours because of tropical storm Debby, we were dying for a good meal and stumbled upon this little gem while searching “best Italian near me”.. I really couldn’t imagine a better meal. Between the five of us, We all ordered different things and everything was SO delicious! My fettuccine was immaculate and the noodles tasted homemade. My daughters (9&12) had the rigatoni bolognese and spaghetti carbonara, they were quiet for twenty whole minutes while eating, and that says a lot ?. The bread was fresh, olive oil and herbs were perfection. We ordered cannolis to go, and they were the perfect end to an absolutely amazing meal. Our server was so knowledgeab...
The food is good, and we've dined here many times. However, during our last couple of visits, we felt ignored by Luigi, despite being regular customers. At first, we joked that our gray hair made us invisible. On Saturday, we had dinner with another couple, and then returned on Sunday with a friend. On Sunday, we felt like strangers, even though my husband had a lengthy conversation with Luigi the night before. We shared our disappointment with server Angelo about the $48 veal chop I ordered on Saturday, which was not satisfactory. He acknowledged that it was below standard and we thought he would inform management, but nothing came of it. We spent $151 on Saturday and another $151 on Sunday...
We usually do not go out for Italian food because we are often disappointed by the Americanized Italian fine dining. After reading some reviews we were curious to try out. since it was right across the street from where we were staying we decided to give it a go. When arriving surprisingly enough the owner himself Luigi greeted my wife and me and were quickly seated for a prompt dining experience. I ordered Seafood Portabello and my wife ordered one of their daily specials It was so good that I cleaned the plate with the last piece of delicious bread it was served with.
When we sat down to eat, everything we ordered was prepared to perfection. The spaghetti carbonara, pollo francese, and veal parmigiana were all incredibly tasty. My husband always insists that this spaghetti carbonara is the best he's ever had. Dining here is always a top priority for us when we visit the beach, and we can't wait to return!

We came here twelve years after dating and frequently dining here. On our tenth wedding anniversary, we returned. Their food literally haunts my dreams, the gnocchi is beyond compare. It’s a must visit. Parking: Just do the valet it’s worth it
Absolutely a 5-star experience from beginning to end! The service was exceptional, and everyone in our group was thrilled with the quality and flavor of their meals. This was our second visit, and we will definitely return next year. Bravo!
The salad dressings, particularly the vinaigrette Caesar, lacked flavor. The pollo Marsala could have used some garlic or salt. On a positive note, the veal Marsala was well-received, and the seafood pasta was quite delicious.
After four years, I stand by my opinion that it's the best Italian restaurant in Central Florida. Louigi, the owner, is fantastic. It's a must-visit for anyone, including dedicated patrons like my beautiful wife and me.

Luigi another great meal and fantastic time, if your italian this is some authentic food, made like the gallace grandmother made. Ask about the specials I love the spicy Calabrese style sauce.
The food is fantastic! The hospitality exceeds expectations. I always feel like I'm being treated like family.
