“This is my absolute new favorite if you are anywhere near Lake Mary or the Orlando area. We ordered three appetizers. Had wine and cocktails and everything was delectable. The service was beyond amazing and the staff made us feel like family. I am usually extremely picky and always find at least one fault….i could not find one and this place. It makes me want to move to Florida. I can’t wait to go back!”

“We had a wonderful time, the food, service and atmosphere were fabulous. Would definitely go back. Bought a gift card for a family member so they could experience it as well.”

“Wow. A hidden gem known locally. A must visit for Italian food lovers. Some of the best Carbonara I have ever had. The Fresh house made Pasta prepared El Dante was excellent . The crispy prosciutto bites were unbelievable! Outstanding Tiramisu traditional style.”

“My boyfriend and I came here for the first time last night for date night. We heard such wonderful reviews about this local place, and we were not disappointed! We started off with a bottle of this wonderful red wine from Tuscany that was delicious and bold. They said it was a house favorite as well. We ordered the calamari for our appetizer and it was so flavorful and not greasy at all! We both enjoyed our meals too! I ordered the Chicken Alfredo and loved the nice sweet touch of the sun dried tomatoes! My boyfriend loved the sauce on his lobster ravioli too! He rarely if ever says a restaurant taste really good or amazing, so for him to enjoy it as much as I did really made me happy! Our server was absolutely wonderful, and the owner was so gracious and helpful. It is such a cute local joint with a nice ambiance. The live piano player added such a lovely touch! We will be back soon for the wine tasting next week. Thank you guys for the wonderful food and hospitality. :)”

“If you are looking for low grade italian food at a high price, this is the place for you. Do not get me wrong, the owners are extraodinairily nice. However, the food lacked in a great way. When we arrived we were sat immediately. We then ordered 2 appetizers, the garlic fries and meatballs. The garlic truffle fries were a little confusing. We tasted garlic, but no truffle and the chunks of farlic were abundant. The meatballs were homemade but the sauce seemed canned and not seasoned in any way, nor were the meatballs. Main courses were chicken piccata, carbonara, and chicken parm. The chicken piccata was missing something, I think it was lemon and the chicken didn't have any seasoning. The carbonara was scrambled. I know it has eggs in it but it isn't supposed to have scrambled eggs in it. Finally, the parm. The chicken looked breaded properly but again the sauce had no flavor, it just tasted like canned or bottled sauce. In my humble opinion, very over priced for mediocre italian food. The portion sizes were large, so that was a plus and the atmosphere seemed laid back.”
