"Due to the positive comments my Facebook friends gave this restaurant, we thought we could try to eat there tonight. I have to tell you we discovered a new favorite Italian restaurant that is THE Best. The food, service, atmosphere ROCK!!!! Karim was our server and went over the menu. He hit a sweet wine choice, took a custom order, was very fast and welcoming. And the food was the star of the meal ordered tailored, full of favors, with fresh ingredients. We are a fan, definitely back!!!!"

A decent restaurant that's a bit noisy due to the constant hustle and bustle, but the food is excellent! Our server, Paula, was wonderful!

The food is amazing, but the staff are even better. Everyone is friendly and helpful. Every dish is delicious, and Francesco is one of the best chefs I’ve ever encountered. I've been there over 25 times, and I still look forward to each visit!

We come here often we always have a great dining experience. I love how attentive the staff is. The food is made with love and it shows. Forget those other chain so called Italian restaurants. This place is priced right and nothing beats seeing your food cooked to order

Chef Francesco is so creative knowledgable in his kitchen. It is always fun watching him cook, creating beautiful plates delicious food. Nino pairs wine with whatever you order loves telling you about the dishes on the menu. The whole staff is there to help you enjoy the dining experience. It is also a lovely place to look at, relax in, enjoy. View menu

Amazing little place incredible food, friendly and helpful staff, and beautiful atmosphere. Can't say enough good things about this place! Perfect place for a date night or special occasion! We cannot wait back! *Be sure to make a reservation for dinner on a Fri or Sat!

My husband, daughter, and I were in the area looking for Italian food when we stumbled upon this restaurant and decided to give it a try. We were absolutely not disappointed! The food was fantastic, and our server was very friendly throughout our visit. The only suggestion I have is that the young blonde hostess could benefit from smiling more and avoiding rolling her eyes, as she is the first impression of your establishment. Nonetheless, we would definitely recommend this place!

"Absolutely the best vegan in Orlando in 2022. The owner (Fabio) is mostly a plant-based eater and the care put into the food is far beyond the many Michelin restaurants in Orlando. A MUST do even if you 're not vegan as they have a carni menu too. Food: we went for Fabio 's Table which is a rotating special menu that occurs every few months in addition to the base menu for our one year wedding anniversary. This was fixed five courses, all vegan, and absolutely delicious. The theme was Europe Meets Asia and we had Paella Springrolls, Italian Bahn Mi, German Udon Soup, Peking Tempeh with French Mothersauces, and a Vietnamese French crepe for dessert. I cannot begin to describe how each dish was an explosion of flavors, perfectly balanced, unexpected, and portioned (if you 're not a glutton). We have been on a string of bad restaurants this past year and Fabio blew our taste buds away. At the end of the meal, we were magically full and left without that horrible oily residue so many restaurants these days leave in the mouth. It was healthy, but did not taste like it. Bravo! Service: fantastic. Every staff member was kind and attentive. Our tableside water was never empty and Fabio himself explained every dish, his inspiration, and wine pairing. Can 't ask for anything more. Atmosphere: cozy, modern, and beautiful with local artwork for sale on the walls. Sound is the only reason to be worried. There was a birthday celebration and the typical, entitled silver-spooners were really loud as soon as they got one glass of wine in them. Improvement opps: almost nothing I would improve except two tiny things- 1. Some sound dampening high on the walls out of sight may help combat loud guests. 2. A better water filter. Winter Park water is straight pool water and even Fabio 's current filter system couldn 't make it perfect. Regardless, it was a fantabulous meal and we 'll be returning many more times to come!"
