This shop is run by two…read morenative Italians and they make all the pasta and meals onsite using their own recipes and ingredients from Italy. The two owners used to sell their pasta out of Tornatores restaurant but now they have their own shop. While I was there the owner was making gnocchi. They offer so many types of fresh pasta starting at 5.95 and I wanted to buy one of every variety. They offer about 6 or 7 kinds of ravioli. They have containers of made in house marinara (7.95) and meat sauce so you can purchase everything you need to cook up a pot of pasta. For dessert they have tiramisu, pistachio and ricotta or Torta Della Nonna by Bindi. The frozen pizza has unique toppings. I bought the zucchini and at home the pizza baked up to perfection. The pizza was thin and the crust came out crunchy. I loved it. I also bought a tray of lasagna that was frozen. You let it defrost a little and then bake it in the oven. So easy to make and so good. The store offers items in frozen and refrigerated cases and shelves of a few Italian cooking staples. The couple that owns this store are so friendly, happy to explain anything and excited to have their own store. I like that you can buy authentic restaurant quality food at Supermarket prices. Check the weekly hours as they are open certain days and right now close at 3 pm.

The overall vibe of the restaurant was really nice, and the service was good, although nothing particularly outstanding. The biggest downside was the bathroom. It was honestly pretty disgusting, with paper towels all over the floor and a very strong urine smell. It definitely took away from the overall experience, especially considering how good the food was. I'd absolutely come back for the pasta, especially the lasagna, but I really hope they pay more attention to the cleanliness of the restrooms.

So fresh and so tasty! Another great find while strolling through the Orlando Farmer's Market. The…read morehard decision here is which flavors to choose. And when I say it's robust and full of flavor, some don't even need sauce. You can literally pair it with veggies and olive oil and you have a meal. Yes, it's more expensive than picking up pasta at the store but it's a true treat and so worth it. The Autumn Harvest Orzo was delicious. The Pumpkin was the over power winner and it was delightful. I paired it with ground Turkey, yum! I think I am going to work my way through each flavor, delicious!

This place goes off!! Was in the mood for some good kreole food and SK fusion did not disappoint…read more Placed an order on Uber for pick up and it was ready when I arrived. Lady at the counter was very sweet and made sure everything was correct before I left. I ordered the griot (fried pork), with black rice, sweet potato fries, and mac and cheese. The pork was tender (but crispy), flavorful, and cooked perfectly. Mac and cheese was kreole style which I liked because it's not overly cheesy but still had that baked topping on it. Black rice is my favorite and SK does it wonderfully. Moist, flavorful, and a large portion. Absolutely tore it up. That said, the star of the plate was unexpectedly the sweet potato fries. They were crispy and had some kind of sweet sauce on them. Absolutely the best I've ever had. This review is for a pickup order but I imagine it's only better for dine in. The wife and I will absolutely be back. Do not miss this hidden gem. It's inside the Yard food hall and parking can be tricky but it's worth it.

Kind of like hidden gem this place…read more It's small place, not fancy at all, but the food is fresh and they make their sauce, it's not like American sweet sauce. We went to lunch but didn't know they have menu for lunch and dinner (better options, more expensive but bigger portions) so we definitively will come back to try dinner menu even on lunch time. Prices were so cheap!

They had a lunch menu and lunch specials which was nice to see! My partner and I split a large Greek salad and the pasta special of the day which was a penne Marsala. Both were absolutely delicious options! The ambiance was lowkey, gave old Italian vibes which was darling and charming! I will definitely be back!

I decided to do my last magical dining for 2026 here. I made a reservation through OpenTable. I…read moredecided to sit at the bar since it was open, and tried the Capari cocktail for 15 dollars. It was literally bitter sweet, with the sweetness coming from the fruits, and the bitterness most likely from the liquor. It was still a good and refreshing drink. For the appetizer, I had to try their unique and popular pork belly s'mores. It looked like a dessert, but a sweet and savory dish. The pork belly was braised nicely and tender, with the marshmallow adding the sweetness. The homemade crackers were very nice, and the jalapeno added a nice kick. The main dish was the bourbon chicken. It was nicely tender and had a hint of sweetness from the bourbon. The rice went well with the chicken, and the broccolini was perfectly grilled. For dessert, the bread pudding with ice cream was a perfect end. Moist and delicious. It was getting full, so I was able to save some and enjoy at home too. The service was attentive with my bartender checking up with me occasionally. They were quite busy, but still friendly. The dining area looked dark and a bit more formal than last time I visited. But still social and relaxing. I didn't get to see the outdoor patio, but it looked nice from the inside. I parked at the UCF/Valencia garage, which was 3 dollars per hour. Sadly, they don't validate parking. I am so happy I ate at the Monroe for my last magical dining. It's been a while since I eaten there, but the food and drinks are still great. I must say the food was definitely high in calories, sugar, and fat, but it was well worth it. It's just that good in a very nice environment. Definitely will come again when I need southern comfort food! Overall: A

The server came around and took our orders, promptly brought our water every time our water was low, and checked in on us. I got the Caesar salad, the Mushroom Stroganoff and the bread pudding. All three were delicious. The salad was straightforward and was exactly what I would expect from a Caesar salad, but the stroganoff was the standout. The pasta was perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. The only thing I could say that would make it even better was if it was a little less salty. The mushrooms really carried through, the sauce was creamy, and the micro greens helped brighten up the brown color palate. The desert, I love bread puddings and this had a modern twist. It was served as a square, crispy on the outside, like it was deep fried, covered with cinnamon sugar, but still soft on the inside. It was almost like a bread pudding crossed with a churro, which I loved. Highly recommend, I will also say, I love all their restaurants.

Texas Fried Chicken is the kind of place that you will drive by a thousand times and never think…read moreabout stopping. Well, hopefully on your thousandth and one time driving by you will stop because they have some pretty good chicken in this unassuming place. Let me also point out that there is some tough competition literally within a few feet of each other. Popeyes is there, just as Church's Chicken is there. But out of these three, I will go with this independent chicken place due to the quality of their food and their customer service. This business is located on Orange Blossom Trail and South Street. There is relatively decent parking and as I have said before, the staff is very friendly. Out of the many options that they offer I would recommend the wings. It is places like this that I truly love finding. All too often we Overlook them, we think it looks too grungy or the neighborhood isn't the right kind of neighborhood for many. My opinion on this is that by overlooking this place it is their loss.
