Vitoâs is a fantastic, upscale steakhouse. Our server, Courtney, brought to our table and explained a tray of beautiful meat cuts from filets to Chateaubriand to veal. Our warm, grilled artichokes were delicious as a starter and shared the lovely smoked, woody, citrus oak flavor of the perfectly grilled steaks. Courtney provides food and wine knowledge and service way above and beyond what most upscale dining experiences offer. We will be back when visiting Orlando again!

So, we had not visited Bella Tuscany in over 18 months, due to the horrendous experience we had that previous visit (refer to review).This visit;PROS:- the service (thank you very much, Keith) was excellent- the general manager (Eric) was on top of things in the restaurant- Sam(antha), at the bar, came out to help with wine selection- chicken parmigiana was delicious- appropriate light at table to read menu- overall atmosphere conducive to excellent dining experience- plentiful choices on menu and wine list (400+ wines)- staff made our night a little special for our 24th wedding anniversary with canolli'sCons:- my lasagna was too salty. Will either ask for less salt if ordered again, or change selection if chef will not abideSo, several changes since we last dined here, with mostly positive changes. The one negative, Russ Russell, the sommelier, is no longer there. But the new general manager seems to have Bella Tuscany on a good path.
8. Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza

Reviewed By FareAdvice
While there were some good aspects, the overall experience was poor. We had a delivery costing over $70, which is fine for the area, a large pizza, 4 large meatballs, and 20 hot wings. You would think in Orlando that many deliveries go to hotels or other places in need of some basics. We got 3 flimsy plates and a couple napkins. No utensils. Could eat pizza and wings with hands but it was hard to eat the meatballs. Meatballs were good and hot. Pizza was cold, not just lukewarm, but actually cold. I think it would have been very good if it was warm. The sauce was tasty. Wings were average in all our opinions.

We had been thinking about making reservations here for quite a while, and when Magic Dining month came up, we did it. We went at 6:30pm on a Thursday, to avoid crowds...the plentiful staff, not yet busy nearly overwhelmed us. Once the place filled up, service became normal.I chose mussels as my appetizers, and, while they were good 3 of the dozen shells were empty, and they weren't floating in the minimal broth. My husband had the mozarella in carrozzo and it was a large, tasty serving. We both had the veal scallopini with proscuito in a rich wine sauce...EXCELLENT...would have loved a bigger portion! Dessert was Tartufo for me....yummm, and cannoli for him. We each had a drink and a glass of wine, and shared a "thimble" of grappa...and that's where the price climbed! Our suggestion is to have a drink at home before you go, and one glass of wine there, as the prices are very high...a half bottle of wine costs from $60 - $90!Thank you for the wonderful review of Christini's Italiano Ristorante. I am thrilled to hear that we left a lasting impression on you with our authentic Italian fare and Magical Dining specials. We will surely share your compliments with the team as they will be thrilled to have exceeded your expectations. We appreciate your feedback and look forward to welcoming you back again soon!Sincerely,Caterina Christakos, Christini's Customer Relations Director

Decided to dine at Vivo on our final night of family vacation. Entrees arrived minutes after appetizers. Main dishes tasted rubbery, as if the chicken had been microwaved, tasteless. Expensive for such poor quality. Disappointing end. Would not recommend.Thank you for visiting Vivo Italian Kitchen. I sincerely apologize that we did not meet your expectations.

Seriously good restaurant. Delicious food. There were five of us and we worked our way around the menu on 3 visits in 6 days. Everything was exceptional including the bread and garlic in oil. Service was discreet and efficient. Singers were fantastic and made the experience all the more special for us. Highly recommend.

Had reservations for adult daughter âs birthday . Was exceptional experience. Waiters all wished her a happy birthday- nice touch. Food was superb. Having just moved back from living in Paris- the food, service, ambiance was far superior at Chathamâs Place than anything we experienced there! Highly recommend this restaurant. Will definitely return.

Reviewed By stevenrosedecorator
Drove up as we were close by, served by David who was very helpful, ordered 3 different flavoured pizzas all were awesome, I would usually pick one with a few toppings, my son picked plain cheese and tomato which was probably the best, base really nice slight crunch and dough perfect depth lovely flavours, price was very good they were all excellent but cheese and tomato just edged it over the other two Thanks for the great review of them might be pizza. Funny how your favorite pizza was a plain cheese pie being a native New Yorker thatâs pretty much all I eat and get the full flavor of the pizza. From our vine ripe tomatoes used to make our pizza sauce to our great mozzarella cheese and other ingredients all balance to produce our award winning authentic New York style pizza. At NYPD Pizza will work hard to maintain a top quality menu selection. From fresh baked wings to crisp cut salad daily. Thanks for visiting NYPD Pizzeria.
