What diners say — our read

If these 21 reviews agree on a topic, it is front-of-house. Reviewers who mention the staff rate this place 4.7 on average — it is working in the restaurant’s favour.

19 of 21 rated reviews are four stars or higher; 1 are two or lower. More reviewers landed on 5 stars than any other score — 15 of 21.

Against that, the kitchen inspects well — an A (96/100), 1 intermediate and 1 basic violations at the most recent DBPR visit. That result dates from May 5, 2026. Its inspection trajectory is downward over the records we hold. Ranked against Seminole County, it is safer than 67% of the restaurants we score. What the inspector actually wrote up: food-contact surfaces clean and sanitized and food manager certification.

With both signals pointing the same way, there is little to argue about on this listing. The underlying reviews are reproduced in full underneath.

    I had a fabulous eggplant pasta dish with chicken added. It was $65 for two people and my husband had a drink. Very good value and quality of food. I will be returning

    Lovely atmosphere and great food with wonderful service. Except for the bug that landed in my first old fashion so they replaced it, then another bug landed in the second drink. Gross..

    My husband and I always look forward to coming here for dinner, especially on Sundays. The food is outstanding! We love being seated with Jimmy because he is friendly, professional, and is just really great at what he does! The service is typically good no matter who takes care of us and we are repeat customers. However, last night we had a gentleman waiter who apparently was having a bad night because we felt it, and it was very uncomfortable! His attitude was sharp and pointed from the moment he approached our table. We were thinking of all the possibilities of what could be going on with him because his behavior was inhospitable and rude. If we were first time customers and were treated that way, we’d never go back again. But, we know this place and never get that type of treatment. So, we’ll chalk it up to “you never know what someone might be going through.” If we should get seated at this man’s station again, I will definitely ask to please be seated with someone else.

    In expect a restaurant that is open until 10 pm to serve until then. If you are closing the kitchen more than half an hour earlier, then you are not open for business.

    The food was amazing. We had excellent service. Great espresso martinis. We had 7 ppl and everything was perfect. We had a great experience.

    Rebeca was an absolutely amazing host! My family reserved a table for my graduation party here and her energy was electric. Highly recommend for both the food and the service 😁

    Absolutely the best place for REAL Community, great food, and incredible service. The owner greets you. This is like Cheers! Everyone knows your name. If you live in the area and haven't been by, you are missing out. Holy Crap I love this place. And I've only been here once. What a treat!!

    I googled this place and the food did not disappoint! I’m traveling for work, and came in for a food review and here it is ! Owner super nice. I wanted to give him the tip chicken Parm delicious bartender, not so friendly and seemed annoyed every time I asked for something. I would’ve given them five stars if service was better with the bartender. If owner waited on me, he would’ve gotten five stars. Food is totally delicious. Met some great customers, Jimmy and Al sitting at the bar nicest guy ever!!! Thank you ! I will be back

    Excellent food and service 👌

    This place was really good it had excellent food and great service we came in as a big group and they were able to handle it no problem. The only thing is is a few customers didn't get what they ordered but they ate it anyway. I'm sure the staff and the restaurant would have been willing to fix the incorrect order but still it was a miss. I ordered a Pinot and the guy just assumed it was noir not grigio so I ended up getting a wine that I didn't want.

    had an excellent time dining here and would recommend going again, the server was very personable and really lifted the mood for the night.

    My husband has been wanting to go to this restaurant for some time now, but they can book up quickly. Our family decided to celebrate his birthday there, and we were not disappointed! The atmosphere and food were so authentic…there is a musician who serenaded individual tables in Italian. We enjoyed every bite of the amazing Italian bread and we ordered the delicious pasta with seafood. The shrimp and the scallops were huge, and the pasta was like, nothing I’ve ever tasted. Oh my…the Tiramisu was soooooo melt in your mouth moist!!! The service from start to finish was incredibly personal…the owner remembered our names and waited on us and other customers. We will be back again and again!

    Favorite lunch spot. The gamborini appetizer is exceptional.9

    Family owned & operated, my husband & I go almost weekly for a pizza & martini. Friendly staff, especially quaint with Tiffany at the round bar who remembers how we like everything so we can just sit back, relax & enjoy our time there.

    We love the pasta we tried. Pacceri Norcina was having a delicious creamy texture that we liked, Veal Milanese was great, veal was fried to perfection, not dry, just right, Rigatoni Norma also well balanced, the sauce is not too acidic and perfectly cooked. Overall we had a great experience. The service was excellent, but did not like the atmosphere, too noisy, the space was not huge so that the music was too loud. That’s the only reason for 4 stars, but we will go again for the food.

  • April 28, 2026

    Fantastic experience. I rarely finish my plates because my appetite isn't strong and I CLEANED my plate. I had a delicious veal fish recommended by the server that had a delicious creamy sage sauce. This was so delicious. The atmosphere they put effort into, there was a live singer seranading each table and also sang happy birthday to my birthday guest!! Happy times.

    Amazing restaurant with authentic Italian food and excellent service! Josh was our server and provided the best service we’ve had here and we’ve been visiting this location for years. We enjoyed the singing from the musician/guitarist that travels around the tables…he is so fun and friendly. Try the arancini, the pizza, the Della casa salad, lasagna and ossobucco…and the wine—Lagone is our favorite lately!

  • April 25, 2026

    The best Italian restaurant in North End

  • April 22, 2026

    We had take out at our office and the food was incredible! The meatballs and ziti were amazing and tasted home made and authentic. The pizza was a big hit as well. The owner is a very nice gentleman and we will definitely be coming again!

    Noise level is unbearable. I think they could probably improve on that.

  • April 12, 2026

    Amazing flavors, world class service from James highly recommend the Veal saltimbocca, the pollo Rosario had such a tasty sauce.
