Breakfast choices are buffet or menu - we ordered off the menu. Healthy choices are noted on the menu and I had the avocado and poached egg on toast. The entree was delivered within 20 minutes and was served hot. The menu prices are commensurate with a Waldorf Astoria but a bit pricey for the Orlando area.

Outstanding I am gluten free and this is the ONLY place I eat gluten because it is made with Italian flour and I have zero reaction. Heaven.

We shared a special salad of pear stuffed with walnuts and mascarpone with arugula. It was light and delicious. Enough for 2-3 . I had porcini ravioli with truffle oil that was perfect and homemade. Another had fettuccine with pesto and shrimp that she enjoyed and uncharacteristically cleaned her plate. But most importantly, my granddaughter with celiac disease could get chicken Parmesan with pasta that was gluten-free, celiac-safe and o can attest to delicious. We were unable to eat desserts but they also were varied and looked perfect( and ample). The host was most attentive and very careful to ascertain allergies and sensitivities. The setting was simple, unassuming and tasteful. Very comfortable and centrally located .

Weeere pleasantly surprised withstood assortment of cocktails wine and beer. The food menu also offered a wide range of choices, including daily specials. I ordered Veal Osso Bucco and the portion was sufficiently generous to share with my husband. Others in our party ordered Pollo Limone and Osso Bucco ravioli all excellent and tasty. We will definitely return.

Especially if you have a show at Balboa Theater. It is conveniently located quite close to the theatre. The staff was very nice. Eat it excellent. Not a huge place, so it's not good for groups bigger that 6 or less.

The orange toe was in perfect harmony with the texture of pasta and truffle oil. Definitely one of the best Italian dishes I tasted in North America.

We ordered the Maine Lobster Ravioli, Fettucine Alfredo with Chicken, Linguine Alle Vongole Veraci, and another ravioli dish (don't recall the name). Most of the dishes were excellent, though the clam dish was fairly bland. However, there were only 2 servers for the entire restaurant, so the service significantly declined throughout the meal, with zero table visits after the food was dropped off. We would have ordered dessert but it was never offered to us, so we just paid and left. All in all, the food was mostly great, and on a less busy night, perhaps the experience would be better.
