How guests are treated dominates the conversation here — it comes up in 55% of the 22 reviews. Where how guests are treated comes up, the rating that follows averages 4.4, so it reads as a strength.
Conspicuously absent: portion size, which no reviewer brings up. 5 stars is the modal score, given by 16 of the 22 reviewers who rated. The split is 20 positive to 1 negative across 22 rated reviews, with 1 in the middle.
Against that, the kitchen inspects well — an A (98/100), 2 basic violations at the most recent DBPR visit. That inspection was on January 22, 2026. The trend across inspections is improvement. That puts it ahead of 80% of graded kitchens in Orange County. Among the items recorded were food-contact surfaces clean and sanitized.

Just what our family needed while travelling. Fantastic food and service. Pretty sure the manager chased me down in the park to return my sunglasses to me. Thankyou

Jamie really made the experience special, fun, relaxed and knowledgeable about the menu. I would go again just for her

Many years ago, before Uber Eats was a thing, I worked for a local delivery service which did deliveries for Pannullo’s. So I knew the place and had always wanted to try the food. On Wed, we were having a going away dinner party for a friend, so we ordered online for pickup. In the course of meal planning and ordering, I called multiple times and on all occasions the service staff handling the phone seemed only moderately competent and barely interested. We ordered 6 entrees, two salads, two Flatbreads and two bruschettas. The bill totaled just under $250. I called to ask if they’d have boxes for the food order for me to carry in the vehicle, and was told the food would be bagged and bring my own boxes. I also asked if I should be coming in the front or back, since back when I did deliveries, they always made us come in the back and through their kitchen to do pickups. I was told come to the front. My friend who was hosting got stuck late at work, so I ubered to pick up the food. I called to find out if they could do curbside and was told yes, just call when I am close, which I did. I arrived at the store and had to go in, only to be told pickups are done in the back. On NONE of my calls was I told this, even when I directly ASKED if I would need to go to the back. And I wasn’t offered directions on how to get to the back which is tricky because it’s a one-way alley off a one-way street. Luckily I knew how to get there from hundreds of pick ups from the restaurant in the…

Great staff and atmosphere. Very beautiful decor. And the location is amazing. But the food has no flavor whatsoever. It's like they totally forgot how to cook.

I had their Magical Summer set menu. My choices were the Spicy Seafood Soup; which I thought was awesome! Shrimp Scampi for entree & the very best cannoli I've ever had in Orlando in 30 years.

Pannullo's is hands down my favorite Italian restaurant. First, the have the best pricing for dining on Park Avenue. Their salads are always cold and crisp with the best dressings if you are trying to stay on the lighter side. Their pizzas, calzones, and pasta dishes are always consistently delicious. I dine there for lunch, dinner and even use them for my at home events. It is always a hit. Last, the hospitality goes a long way. Richard and Michael always remember me and my family and make the time to say hello and thank me for dining with them. I highly recommend!!!

Third time going here, great food and location. Fettuccine carbonara was delish, and the calamari was awesome.
-
The food was absolutely spectacular, and Jamie’s service was simply outstanding. She was friendly, attentive, and professional throughout our entire visit. Everything was perfect from start to finish. We will definitely be back! Highly recommended. Thanks Jamie 💙

Delicious eggplant parm sandwich, nice staff.

Spencer was great he kept us attended on. I wanted to come somewhere different for my birthday lunch. It was great.
-
Ate outside, had wine and shared antipasto salad, shrimp scampi, and tiramisu. All dishes were fresh and tasty. Expensive meal but you're paying for the address. Overall good experience. Waitress could have been more pleasant/engaging considering she expects customers to support her "livlihood'.

I went to Panullo’s in Winter Park for lunch today. I sat on the patio next to a family with a dog. The waitress took my order and proceeded to bend over to pet and let the dog lick her fingers. I was disgusted. We can be animal lovers but you’re on the job dealing with food. She brought me my water and bread then allowed the dog to lick her fingers again while saying “are my fingers tasty?” I privately let her know what she was doing was inappropriate since she’s dealing with food. Her response was I always wash my hands after. “Always” as in this is not your first time and I assume Panullo’s is okay with this. I told her I’m not there to see if you indeed washed your hands. She nodded and walked away. I went from having a peaceful evening to being worried about receiving contaminated food with her fingers being on my plate. SMH!
