Italian has always been my favorite food and this has to be one of the best I've ever had. We've even been to Italy twice and this is right up there with it. A Margherita pizza, GF pizza. Gnocchi special with vodka sauce and a ball of burrata and a classic penne with Napoli sauce. Celiac-Husband said the crust may be the best he's ever had. We ended with the limoncello mascarpone cake and it was perfect. You can tell that everything is homemade. The staff was as friendly as could be. What a brilliant find!! read more

This is the real deal! Four of had a wonderful dinner of authentic Italian food. The food is amazing.. just like the old country. read more

We went for lunch. We were seated towards the back of the restaurant. It seemed like they were getting ready for aa large party since the tables in the front were pushed together. It was not very crowded, one other table had already been served and us. I ordered a pizza with Italian sausage and peppers and my companion ordered spaghetti with bolognese sauce, a side order of meatballs and 2 cakes. When the cokes arrived one of the glasses had lipstick on it. We eventually got the witers attention and he got a clean glass. A little while later we got some delicious warm bread with olive oil and balsamic for dipping. Food was served and was pretty good. The waiter never asked us if we needed refills on our drinks, never asked if everything was ok. Now there were a total of 3 tables so its not like it ws crowded and this witer just hid out in the kitchen. We tried to flag him down when he brought food to the other tables with no luck. Finally just started waving our hands in the air to get his attention to bring us the check. This place is not cheap so we did expect decent service but I guess today wasn't the day for that. They should consider training their wait staff. Not sure we will be back. read more

Servers were very friendly and accommodating as we had a table of 10. Very authentic Italian feel in the restaurant. The gnocchi and Danino's pizza were delicious. I loved the tricolor sauce on my pasta. read more

Wow, wow, wow! This is THE best pizza I have had in many years. Simply wonderful! Had a chance to try three different pies and each was my favorite. Ok, the Danilo is the best. It's the Prosciutto pizza and was amazing. Service was great and the inside had a great comfortable atmosphere. read more

I was looking forward to the antipasto, but it's for 2 people and I ate solo. (Yeah, leftovers are good, but ....) I had the Caprese Salad, which was good. Entree was the Fiocchetti di Gorgonzola e Pera with Carbonara sauce, which was very good. The Fiocchetti themselves were less strongly flavored than I've had elsewhere; the sauce was a little thinner than I expected, but the generous amount of well-cooked pancetta added a nice crunch to the dish. Dessert was a personal-sized Nutella Pizza (with powdered sugar and strawberry slices.) (Do they have a larger size? Inquiring minds want to know!) Also good, half of it went home with me. Service was good when it was there, but I only saw two people taking care of tables, which meant there were significant waits for attention. Decorations were nice, tables were a little crowded, the noise level was high enough that I had occasional trouble communicating with the servers. read more

I stopped in during my lunch break as I was craving some pizza and wanted to take advantage of their lunch special. I had ordered ahead and received notification that it was ready, however, they never actually worked on the ticket. I had to wait most of my lunch break which was frustrating. The employee gave me a free drink and apologized for the inconvenience, which was nice, but still an inconvenient experience. The pizza itself was good and filling. The place is small but has enough seating. There is plenty of parking for the plaza and it doesn't get too busy read more

Definitely a favorite of ours. Food is delicious and the owner is such a nice man. I'd give more stars if I could!

One of the best Italian restaurants in all of Orlando hands down!!! As soon as you walk in through the door you are greeted with smiles and friendly customer service. The ambience felt refreshing and homie. The places feels like your entering Italy and they sell a bunch of cookies, sauces, and pastas imported from Italy. The food was cooked to perfection and both the Pollo allá Parmigiana and Pasta Al Forno had so much flavor and you can tell they made the dishes with love and care. Complementary bread with balsamic vinegar and olive oil my favorite!!! They offer a variety of desserts which we skipped because the entrées were big so we were pretty full. It's located in a shopping center, it's one of those mom and pop places that once you try one time you are definitely going to go again lols Highly recommend to anyone!! Thank you Danino's Trattoria we will certainly come back again. ^.^ read more

Don't worry that it's in a strip mall and doesn't have curb appeal. The food is fantastic! We stopped in for an early dinner on the way to the airport. My wife and I were visiting her best friend (who also joined us). I got some grief for the restaurant appearance but that changed as soon as the bread and olive oil was served. An employee patiently answered our menu questions. We were all very happy with our meals. Highly recommend! read more

I made my own pizza and it was delicious! The atmosphere is also romantic, so keep this place in mind for such an occasion as well.

My boyfriend recommended Daninos as a great hole in the wall spot with delicious food at reasonable prices. I was craving pasta, and our server, who was super helpful, suggested the Pasta Frutti Di Mare from their specials menu. If you love seafood and pasta, go for it! I also got a Margherita Pizza to go, and even after reheat it was delicious and didn't feel heavy on the stomach. We both wish this place was just down the road from us but a 25min drive isn't too bad! read more

What happened to my favorite place? Maybe it's just a one time occurrence. Bad service, overcooked pasta, completely different experience. Is there a new owner or something. We were somewhat ignored until the check came. I left extremely thirsty. Luckily I keep water in my car. ( this is the first time I have ever left a bad review!) but taking time to do it because I hate to see such an awesome place go down the path it's seems to be going. Well, we will give it another try in a few weeks. Hopefully it was just a fluke. :( read more

This hole in the wall place is amazing. The service was quick and great. The food was light and satisfying. After traveling around Italy, this place makes it seem like you never left. We split the cheese tortellini with vodka sauce and a pizza. FABULOUS place! read more

Danino's Trattoria is an Italian restaurant, this is the second time coming here. The first time I wasn't too impressed with the food, it seemed bland BUT I gave it another try and this time was way better! I ordered the pasta alla bolognese, it was very good. I do think it should come with more sauce though. My husband ordered the pollo alla parmigiana and the chicken was soooooo good! My son ordered the margarita pizza and it was amazing! I am so glad I decided to give this place a second chance because I wanna come more often now! read more

Great food and the bread is outstanding. Italian food cooked in house. Fresh and served hot. Delicious. Great service. Small family owned restaurant which lends to a nice atmosphere. Make sure on a Friday or Saturday night for dinner you get reservations. It has gotten very popular because they are delicious. We will be back again when in Orlando or Lake Buena Vista. read more

The place is more 3.5 but support local business in an area dominated by franchises. I would skip the pizza. The pastas were good. The free bread is nice with a thicker balsamic vinegar. Service is a bit slow. read more

Pizza was great! Crust and sauce were tasty. Service was top notch. Very friendly and attentive read more

This is a cozy spot which features homemade Italian dishes. Hot bread to dip in olive oil introduces your meal. The menu offers pizza as well as other traditional dishes. The Danino Lasagna was enough for two meals. The pasta was tender and all the layers perfectly screamed excellence. read more

Great casual dining spot. Took some customers here for dinner. While the ambience was more "local pizzeria," the food was all homemade and tasty. Our whole group enjoyed it. read more

Small family run restaurant that was a gem of a find. Everything was perfect from the food to the service. Would highly recommend this authentic little Italian restaurant! read more

Wow all freshly made from salad to pasta. Filtered water to get just the correct flavor is second to none. Would go back in a heart beat!

The lasagna was delivered with the sauce spilled out all over the delivery bag and the other containers. The meatballs, marinara sauce and the sausage lacked salt. In fact, I couldn't even eat the meatballs, the taste (or the lack of it) made me gag. The only decent thing about this order from Danino's was a) the quantity of food; and b) the garlic bread and the calamari. Rest of the stuff was below average in quality. read more

I have been to Rome and Florence and the meal from Danino's brought me right back. The best authentic Italian I have had in the states.

The bread for the panini sandwich is baked in house. So is the bread they serve at the table. That bread basket is served with a dish of olive oil and balsamic glaze. The baked pasta dishes were huge. Will enjoy the large portions another day since it was too large to eat at dinner. The service was great and the servers also great. No room for dessert. read more

To be honest, myself and my party of five was disappointed. I had the chicken Marsala with linguine and the table had regular chicken marinara. The Chicken Marsala was underwhelming and tasted like Chinese takeout. The complimentary bread and arugula salad however was delicious. The serving size was large and the chicken parmigiana was good. The peach lemonade was amazing though, highly recommend it!! Taste just like juice from Japan. The service was decent but during our meal there were few opportunities to ask for the extra cheese/the bill. The restaurant was very busy however so I assume the service lacked particularly because of it. The ambiance was enjoyable. We do regret not ordering their pizza as it seems that it was popular choice. Overall we were all underwhelmed and will likely not return. read more

I recently went here with a larger group (7) and they were able to accommodate us immediately. I'm a BIG fan of Italian food, so i was extremely excited to try homemade food instead of going to a standard chain, and let me tell y'all: THEY DID NOT DISAPPOINT. The staff is super friendly and welcoming, almost feels like being hosted at the chefs home. We were recommended a couple favorites from the menu (everything delicious!) and the chef was also very knowledgeable about wine. I personally had the house soup (had to share some with everyone at the table because it was so good), and then a chicken parmigiana sandwich. The portions are really nice, and the sandwich was super delicious. The homemade focaccia was probably my favorite thing about my whole meal. Desserts were equally as decadent. We had tiramisu, gelato, limoncello cake, and chocolate almond cake for the table and I genuinely can't choose a favorite. I cannot wait to go back!! read more

Unbecoming store front but delicious food! In a random Orlando strip mall. Super delicious. Reasonably priced. Service... Reminded me of being in Europe-- order everything you want at once! If you don't order it the first time, you go without! Lol. Very happy with our food. Will return when in Orlando. Full bar & Coke products. Do yourself a favor, pick this place! read more

The tavolo is the best pizza I've had in my life, definitely the best in Orlando. This is MUST when in the area. The owner is so nice and puts love into anything he makes. It's authentic and delicious. The pasta with the pear are little pillows of joy, personally I like it the best with Alfredo and a little pesto. You will not be disappointed with your experience at all. I've tried all the desserts and it was hard to pick my favorite, they were all most and full of flavor. Get them all, you can always get a box to go. It's a cute hole in the wall. Gives the small town pizza vibe with big flavors. Good for a date night or family dinner. read more

Giuseppe and his family deliver on all levels. Great fresh food. Terrific friendly service. I felt like I was in the trattorias of NYC.

We dined at this restaurants after my son's graduation and our experience was ok. The service took a bit long. When we arrived, it seemed there's was only one server. He was very nice though! We ordered the chicken Marsala and it was very watery. The chicken and sauce was very bland and flavorless. The fettuccine Alfredo was very good. My son really enjoyed it. We also ordered a pepperoni pizza and it was delicious. The restaurant looked cute and had Italian decor. It was very quiet at the time we went. Overall, it was ok and not as we expected. read more

This local restaurant has food that is absolutely delicious. I'm usually scared of Alfredo sauce and gnocchi for being too heavy, but this pasta was one of the best!! The gnocchi was soft and light and went so well with the Alfredo sauce which was smooth and flavorful without being sharp. The salad with fig marmalade and the pizza was delicious too! What amazing flavor to the classics with all three of these plates! The gnocchi is a MUST TRY! read more

We live in Jacksonville, FL but each time we come to Orlando we always come here. Great, fresh food. Truly Italian. Fantastic bread served hot with your lunch. We have enjoyed their pizza, lasagna, salads, and caprese salad with authetic italian cheese. A+ Service is good. Clean restaurant and nice ambiance. It is out of the way and we use GPS but it is always worth the stop. Wish we had one of these in Jacksonville too. read more

The food at Danino's Trattoria was actually good, which is the only reason this isn't a 1-star review. Unfortunately, everything else about the experience was frustrating. We waited over an hour for our food after ordering, even though three other tables that arrived and ordered after us got their meals at least 10 - 15 minutes before us. No one checked on us during the long wait, and our drinks sat empty for over 15 minutes at a time until someone finally told me to "make ourselves at home" and get our own refills. On top of that, the AC wasn't working properly, so it was uncomfortably warm inside which makes timely refills more important. When trying to pay the bill the waiter took care of other tables taking their food and refilling drinks after he had our credit card and we mentioned we were in a hurry at this point. Lastly, the receipt had a tip already included, but there was no notice about that--and it still prompted us to "add a tip" without clarifying it was additional, which felt misleading. Good food can't make up for bad service, long waits, and a poor overall dining experience. I won't be rushing back. read more

Highly recommend! The food is amazing! The homemade focaccia bread, pasta, and mozzarella are not only outstanding, but the authenticity is unmatched by any place you will find in the Orlando area. If you are looking for great fresh pizza, pasta, or paninis (and made some fabulous Italian wine) look no further this is your place! And you will love the prices too!! We had two entrees, two bottles of Italian wine (one to go we liked it so much), served with fresh focaccia bread for under $100! read more

This is an absolute find in Orlando. Authentic Italian from scratch. Amazing pasta and sandwiches! Two entrees, two bottles of wine under $100. Are you kidding?! A great meal-we will be back!! read more

This is such a hidden gem in the Orlando area. We ordered the Insalata Di Pesca. We substituted the Gorgonzola cheese for Parmesan reggiano cheese and it was for sure the right move. Thr sweetness of the peaches and dressing mixed with the nuttiness of the arugula were just outstanding. To accompany thf salad was a piece of bread with a fig jam. We had the margarita pizza. The crust was crunchy and soft at the same time. The tomato sauce had the right amount of sweetness to accompany the cheese and basil. We can't wait to come back! read more

Food alone is the reason for my 5 star . I'm from Texas tried this place randomly and I'm so glad we did.
