    Ziti with salmon
    Robin G.

    This place feels very Italy. They serve Italian beer and wine, no cocktails however- they couldn't make a Shirley temple. The food was very tasty! All of my party liked what they got. How could Italian food ever be bad?! Our server was very nice, definite worth to check out but in mt dora there is so much to check out.

    First visit was in the area for the art festival. We sat outside; there were four of us. We were very pleased with the food, I had the red snapper, and my husband the osso buco. The marinara sauce was perfect. We had a couple Italian beers and met the chef. He was very pleasant and friendly. The prices were reasonable and there wasn't a charge for using a credit card. Will definitely be back.

    Ceasar salad
    Denise L.

    The 10$ Ceasar salad had 2 leafs of romaine at best, more croutons than lettuce and the dressing was a blob on top, not tossed. The photo is after we asked for more romaine.

    Best Italian food in the area! Quality food & Amazing service, Gianni himself comes to greet you and make sure everything is perfect. I recommend the Pollo Piccata but every dish is so delicious. The bread with the oil dip is to die for! It's very hard to choose a dessert too because they are all so good.

    Food was tasty, I want more of it. Awesome atmosphere and friendly. Had a great experience...

    Shrimp with pesto

    The most lovely little Italian spot. All plates came out exceptionally quick and our server Shona was very attentive but never overbearing. The owner stopped by our table and was very personable and really nailed in the experience. Skip the overhyped and overcrowded spots and stop by for a real Italian experience. This is the type of restaurant you want to visit.

    such a quaint Italian restaurant with excellent service by Shona and personal attendance of the Chef Gianni at our table. Tortelini with fungi was amazing!

    Purse pasta with 4 cheeses and pear, with shrimp in a light sauce

    The service and food were incredible! It was our first time but not the last. Everyone on our group loved their meals! Incredibly authentic Italian right in the heart of Mount Dora

It's such a cute spot, with an impressive selection of baked goods at very reasonable prices. This time, I ordered the chocolate strawberry latte, and we shared a red velvet scone along with one of their unique "Nobody Asked For This" chocolate chip cookies made with roasted garlic. The latte was delicious and piping hot--perfect for a chilly day. My first bite of the garlic chocolate chip cookie had me thinking, "No," but it quickly grew on me, and I ended up really enjoying the unexpected combination of flavors. The red velvet scone was huge (perfect for sharing) and absolutely amazing, loaded with chocolate chips. Between the drinks and treats I've tried over multiple visits, Allyson A's Bake Shop has yet to disappoint. It's a must-stop whenever I'm in Mount Dora.

I was soon back to ask them to heat it, which did help with the texture and taste. My friend had a chocolate raspberry bar, and another tried a cupcake. We were all disappointed in our choices. I had promised my husband something from the bakery when I got home, but decided to pass and went home empty-handed.

There is something satisfying about starting the morning in a place that feels local and intentional rather than corporate, and this shop fit that mood perfectly. The barista was still finishing the morning setup when I arrived, but once everything was in place she made a fantastic cortado for me. Strong, balanced, and served with care, it was exactly the kind of drink that settles you into the day. I ended up spending about two hours here, enjoying the coffee and their reliable wifi while easing into my morning before heading out to explore downtown Eustis. The shop itself is clean and comfortable, with enough warmth in the atmosphere to make it easy to linger. I did not understand the decision to keep the front door propped open, especially with the cold air and the steady hum of road noise drifting in, but every shop has its quirks. To each their own. Even with that oddity, it was a pleasant and productive stop, and a good way to begin the day in Eustis. [Review 1621 of 2025 - 2198 in Florida - 25169 overall]
