Great dinner (shrimp scampi was delicious), tasty wines, and our seasoned server took good care of us.

This place uses too many ways to save time and does not care food quality. When we walked in this restaurant, we saw they already pour olive oil and vinegar for every table (even there are only 3 tables have guests). The staff made all 4 tables guests sat together and close to kitchen. I guess they do not want to walk too much. The free bread was fresh and soft, however the bread in bruschetta was made long time ago, and it is hard to cut. Bruschetta is not supposed to be a finger food; but we have to use hands. I ordered veal; I knew it is beef simply by cutting it. The Chicken Parmigiana was definitely not cooked that day. Scampi is soak in lemon juice without garlic; but this maybe the way they cook it since scampi means shrimp. This restaurant had a rule: 5 or more guests has a mandatory 20% tip. We have 4 people, and they put a really small print of 18% on the receipt. My wife asked if tip is already included, the waiter said no. Later he said something nobody understood and ran away after we figured out tip is included.

While in Orlando for work, we stopped here for dinner on our last night. While we were skeptical at first since we were with an authentic born and raised Italian, this restaurant did not disappoint and is all we can talk about from the entire trip! Our server was friendly and attentive to detail. He recommended the perfect Chianti to go with our plates - 3 of us chose to go with the Saccheti al Filetto which was absolutely incredible! Our authentic Italian loved their Pappardelle al Cinghiale con Porcini too! The Ricotta Cheesecake and Tiramisu were the perfect finishing touches to our meals! Cant wait to be back in Orlando just to experience this food again!

After a full day at SeaWorld, our dinner experience was the perfect finale. The pasta with ribs and truffle oil was an absolute delight, marrying tender ribs with rich truffle flavor, creating a symphony of taste. And the tiramisu? Simply perfect each bite a heavenly blend of creamy mascarpone and delicate ladyfingers, leaving us longing for more. A culinary journey worth savoring, making our SeaWorld visit even more memorable.
