Kristina L.

Great ambience, delicious food, reasonable prices. Split a pizza w d salad with friend which was more than enough to fill us up. Drink was one of their specialty sunrise beverages which was sweet but refreshing

The al fresco dining area
Michael R.

This is my favorite pizza in the entire city. Usually I call ahead and get takeout but I have eaten in the restaurant as well and it was a very enjoyable experience with great service. On a nice evening it's great to sit outside and people watch added benefit is it's only 2 blocks to Lake Eola so you can walk off the calories. The thing that makes this pizza my favorite is that the crust is thin and it has the perfect amount of cheese on it. But the sauce is the best I have ever had. I normally like toppings on pizza but with Anthony's I want plain cheese so I can savor the perfection

I came here with one of my girlfriends for dinner because the restaurant we wanted to go had an hour wait and parking was impossible to find in the area, so we decided to go with Anthony's because of their private lot. We should've went elsewhere. The server was very nice and considerate, but the food was not good. My friend was feeling unwell because she hadn't eaten much that day, so asked for their soup of the day. The server brought it put within a few minutes, which was unexpectedly fast. She took one bite, then passed it to me to try. It tasted terrible and was cold even though it had just been brought out. (The server did take that off the bill). She also ordered the bruschetta, which was also all cold. I took a piece and the bread which should have just been toasted was cold like it just came out of the fridge, as well as the tomato and mozzarella. For myself, I ordered the mushroom truffle pasta. I ate it because I was hungry, but it was not sitting well as the night went on. It could be that I'm not used to eating pasta and maybe that's why my stomach was fighting digesting it, but who knows. There are better places to eat in Thornton Park, so I'll be skipping this restaurant in the future.

Small pizza
Ash W.

Okay, firstly, not our first time here. The food here is really good. Service is always great. We stopped in and sat at the bar, very nice and quiet. I received their email that told me about their fall specials. A Thanksgiving Stromboli with turkey, stuffing, cranberry, and gravy.... That's right up my alley. So that is what I ordered, we also got a small pizza. The pizza was great, of course. The Stromboli was HUGE, and I expected it to be, it still can shock you when it comes out The Stromboli was everything you would think it was. Very good. Overall, we come here often and have always had a great time. Definitely check it out if you can.

Buffalo Wings
Brad T.

Came here for brunch and ordered wings. Dont judge! So the wings were a great size and cooked really well. The buffalo was solid but I probably should've got them spicier The lemon pepper was amazing! Honestly, sitting outside and dinning was pretty fun. There was a TV too so we were able to watch sports

Apparently this is a Chicken Palermo?????

"What I Ordered vs What I Got" I ordered a simple Chicken Palermo with chicken, shrimp and broccoli. You know, the red/orange ziti pasta? Well, I received an ALL WHITE meal, I wish I knew what flavor it was. It was disgusting. Chicken was raw, the shrimp was weirdly salty, and the spaghetti pasta was barely soaked. Just hard. Shouldn't be an issue to just call and get it straightened out with simply getting my correct order, right? No lol wrong. The woman who answered the phone gave me attitude because I told her my order was wrong and was simply wondering if I could retrieve my CORRECT order. "Well no, I put the right order out and it was sent out" in the most condescending tone. The attitude continued as I continued to explain, very disheartening as I was starving too. She didn't even apologize or say bye at the end of the call, just hung up. Disappointing because this was my second time ordering, I wanted the same experience I had my first time around. I just knew I'd be a loyal customer with 95 orders within three months. Work on it! Your 1-Star reviews are growing and it doesn't have to be that way!

Mushroom appetizer
Jacqueline W.

My daughter and I visited Anthony's tonight, and it was quite the treat! We started with the cheese garlic knots, which were only $6.99 and absolutely delicious. I ordered the honey hot wings and a mushroom appetizer. The wings were some of the best I've ever had--perfectly cooked with great flavor. The mushroom appetizer was interesting? The seating was comfortable, the service was fast and attentive, and overall it was a very enjoyable dining experience. We'll definitely be back!

Pepperoni pizza
Joe W.

My son and I had limited time to eat before a show, so I called in advance to see if we could place an order (or get a pizza started for us) before we arrived to sit down and eat. While they stated normally they don't, especially on a weekend, Savannah accommodated us. Not only was the pizza ready for us just a few moments after sitting down, but her service was impeccable. My son, a pizza connoisseur, believes this is a top 5 pizza in Central Florida, and though it was our first time trying it, I don't disagree at all. Thank you so much for the food and friendly service, Savannah.

Garlic knots
Lawrence U.

This place has been consistent when it comes to food. Garlic knots are fresh and tasty. The sweet garlic topping not too greasy. The turn around was fast for the appetizer. Ordered the pizza, Hot Honey- pepperoni, sopraseta, mozzarella, red onions, with a drizzle of hot honey. Service was fast and friendly. Parking is a challenge especially on weekends. Place is clean.

Tonia G.

Highly recommend if you're in the Thornton park area if you're craving some pizza!! It is as so good and the cheese was a perfect cheesy combination. Service also was great & friendly

Elfrida R.

Placed an online order for pickup; easy and simple. Went to pickup and the restaurant is cute and clean. The staff was nice except for one young lady behind the counter that seemed annoyed. The restaurant is walking distance from Lake Eola. Their pizza is delicious. My boss only buys pizza from them. He calls the the big pizza chains fake, and will only eat pizza from Anthony's. He said that is as close to Italian as you can get. My apologies for not taking pics of the piz

Cucumber, basil, mint martini, and the Caprese salad
Neyha D.

If you get blessed by this creative beautiful woman and team goes out of her way every time Brigette from the food that the kitchen lays out the service with every server gets better. I had Savannah today. Everything Bridget does here is exceptional the team that's here is exceptional

Chicken Palermo, meatball sliders, fried ravioli
Cheryl W.

This was a perfect dinner spot before a Magic game! Since we were there during happy hour, we tried the meatball sliders and fried ravioli from the happy hour food menu. Both were excellent, and of course it's always a bonus to have food options on the happy hour menu for parties that include members who can't drink! We also had the Chicken Palermo which our server recommended. It was absolutely delicious-- very flavorful and thick sauce, pasta cooked to perfection, and juicy chicken throughout. Our server was fantastic. Super friendly, attentive without being overwhelming, and so thoughtful with the whole experience. We sat in the outdoor seating which was lovely (& covered to protect you from whatever Florida elements are present at the time you go). It had a casual yet nice vibe which we really enjoyed and reasonable prices for the quality of food and atmosphere. We will absolutely be back!

Reviews are generally positive. People praise the pizza flavor and crust, menu variety, and friendly and attentive service. The enjoyable patio and bar also stand out.

For my dessert, I ordered the fever, which consisted of a chocolate molten cake, two scoops of vanilla ice cream, and a chocolate decoration. It was so delicious and decadent. My girlfriends loved the carrot cake and the fourgasm (4 dessert sampler). Everything was a bit expensive, but you're paying for the expensive. My one minor complaint was that we had not been there an excessive amount of time, but as we were checking out, we were informed we needed to leave because they needed our table in 5 minutes. I did not care for that. Overall, this was a really fun experience and I'm sad we had to say goodbye.

Either way, visiting this location really is the hack that you think it is. Since it is in the East End Market, you can simply waltz in with little to no line and order your delicious Gideon's treats. It is important to note that unfortunately they don't offer the cold brew here, however, as they don't have the facilities to make it like they do at Disney Springs. But, the cookies are just as delicious and they do always sell their limited edition cookies here in addition to their classics. It is also worth shopping around the market as well since there are many indulgences here ranging from sushi to cocktails to fun trinkets. It is best to visit at an off time though as parking can be a challenge.

I didn't realize that before ordering, so that definitely explains part of why this wasn't for me. Red velvet is usually my birthday cake, so I've tried it from quite a few places over the years. I personally prefer a softer, fluffy cake with a noticeable cocoa flavor and a tangy cream cheese frosting. Gideon's version was very different from that. The color was much more intensely red than I personally like, and I felt like I could taste the coloring. The texture of my slice also felt more wet/dense than moist and fluffy. There was plenty of frosting, but the cream cheese flavor was much more subtle than I prefer. I know this cake has a lot of fans, so I think this really comes down to style and personal preference.

This second time was a much better experience! Walking in, we were greeted by a worker there. There are tablets that take your order when you walk in. It's pretty self explanatory for ordering. I noticed the prices had gone down since the last time I went there and they were about $8 and some change per cone which I felt was fair. We waited a few minutes and our cones were ready. There were two tables inside but seating outside too, which we decided to hang. The cone is a donut like pastry that had Nutella on the inside. The cone was filled and then a lot more overflowing. Now the caramel was dripping down making such a mess but I didn't mind it, it added to the experience of such an elaborate desert. Make sure you have plenty of napkins on hand! I'm glad we sat outside because my cone was just dripping all over the place. I was trying to keep up with eating it so it wouldn't be so messy. I think it was a me problem because my friend that I was with wasn't nearly as messy as mine! There were trash cans outside so I can to go back inside to throw out the napkins and my cup. The lady who worked there thanked us again for coming in and said bye Overall a great experience. Again, I think it was a me problem with being so messy eating it so I won't take away a star for that!

We ordered A2- which is a mango ice cream, coconut, with fresh pomelo and mango on top. It was delicious and I would definitely order it again. We had just had lunch about an hour before and this was a delightful and refreshing treat. The restaurant is bright and open but a closer look revealed it needed some deep cleaning. The seat I was sitting in had visible dirt on it and there was some dark long hairs on the seat. I'm not grossed out by that type of thing because if you know anyone with long hair, it just falls out. No big deal but I certainly didn't expect to see it on the seat I was sitting in. The tables and bases all need a thorough cleaning as well as other areas I noticed during our visit. I'd understand this a little more if I saw they were super busy and only had one person working, however, we were the only customers, except for two to-go orders and the one employee was sitting down on his phone when he wasn't helping a customer. As someone who has been in the restaurant industry for over 35 yrs, I am well aware of the things needed to keep a restaurant successful. Attention to detail is one of the key factors and unfortunately Mango Mango is lacking in this area. I hope they can see this review and possibly take a closer look at the cleanliness because the food is on point. Next time I'm in the area hopefully I'll see. If not, I might need to find another place to visit.

Seriously, you can save all your other options for a rainy day. This is the place for any occasion, date, family gathering, or plain ol' get together with friends to enjoy sweets with great company. Located off South Apopka Vineland Road on the Northbound side, Mango Mango is situated in a relatively new development and plaza (if you look at the satelite imagery from Google maps, it will still show undeveloped land as of June 2026). It's less than a 10 minute drive from the Disney Springs property, and about an 18 minute drive from Old Town/Fun Spot which is where we were staying for this particular trip coming from Tampa. As you arrive, you will find a spacious lot, however the actual parking spaces do appear limited (something to consider if you decide to have a large reunion here). Upon entering, you will find a very clean storefront and reception. Overall the store maintains a very neat and tidy appearance that is very welcoming and neutral when it comes to the varying demographics of customers. While we have been to Mango Mango before in a New Jersey location, this location provides a bit of table service (which we have not experienced prior) for dine-in which makes it a bit more intimate. The menu offers plentiful choices of sweets - from bowls with fresh fruits and ice cream, to your specialty drinks including boba. To call Mango Mango a boba shop would do it injustice, as this place truly shines as a hollistic dessert spot. Honestly, you can't go wrong with any of the selections. Each dish/drink is perfectly made to their own specifications. The best part is that none are overly sweet, which I feel is a crutch that most dessert spots experience. Highly recommend the mixed fresh fruit with sago and jelly! Wish this was in Tampa because this would give our usual boba spot a run for their money. This is a must have if you're in the area, so treat yourself after long hot day at the parks at Mango Mango!
