Still 5 stars since I can't bump it up another notch. They have their staples like Chicken Parm, Lasagna, Bolognese, Shrimp Fry Diavolo, Puttanesca , Piccata, Gnocchi, and a variety of delicious pizzas and appetizers. There are too many to name. This restaurant can stand on their own with their standards. Where they stand out is with their specials. The chef here is always innovating and trying some new dishes. I wish I could get a notification of what's on the menu each night. I've had some amazing surprises with the taste and presentation of these dishes. And when they have wedding soup (Christmas time), I definitely make sure I go. I feel like part of the family when I go here. They always recognize us and some of the staff even resembles member of my extended Italian family. They cook better than my Italian grandma (shhhh, don't tell her). They also just opened a sister restaurant (Amalfi) down the block so they're taking over Avalon Park! I've been here a lot and plan on going a lot more. Some of the best Italian food in Orlando! So glad it's close to my house!

Very beautiful food I would say the best Italian in Florida. Everything had very balanced flavour…read more We started with a aperol spritz and wine and they brought the house bread which was delicious just like their pizza. Our appetiser was a carpaccio which was very refreshing and delicious. The server Madison recommended the lobster ravioli which was a very pleasant dish slightly sweet and rich a beautiful mix. The spaghetti meatballs also exquisite even for a simple dish, the meatballs not really extremely tender but they were still delicious. Overall the service and food were 10/10 especially our server Madison who's been there since the beginning and gave us A+ hospitality.

This was the first time I was seated in the Turci Panino location, attached to Turci Pasta. You get to enjoy the same menu but the ambiance isn't quite the same.

Also parking is street parking, but lucked out with someone leaving - phew. We split the Caesar salad, because the portion is well enough for two, and dressing was so good! For my entree I ordered the King Mushroom Pappardelle. It may have been the best pasta dish I've ever had. If you like mushrooms you'll love that dish. The ambiance isn't a very rushed experience, which works out to digest all of those delicious carbs. Overall, a really great Italian spot- definitely will go back to try the truffle ravioli.

Wow! There are many great restaurants in Orlando, especially on restaurant row. The one that I come…read moreback to for special occasions is Christinis. I think sometimes that the lack of service has kept me from eating out much, and then I go to Christinis where the service is too-notch. Great service can make lackluster food taste better but Christinis doesn't have to worry there. Their food is too notch as well. It is old world attentive service, and you can't help but feel special when you go there. Our server this evening was Atilla (sp?) and he has a commanding presence and keeps a close eye on things in an unobtrusive way. It was my birthday and they treated me very well. Okay, let's get to the food. Bread service before the meal was excellent. The bread came with an eggplant sauce that was excellent. They offer butter and olive oil but I say to forego that, and just have the eggplant sauce/dip. We both had the shrimp cocktail, which wasn't the plan. But the shrimp were so large and we hadn't had a shrimp cocktail in a long time, and boy was it good. The shrimp was fresh and as mentioned, very large. We then had a Caesar salad which was good. The cheese was good, but I was surprised that there were no anchovies. We like classic Caesar with anchovies, but the salad was good nonetheless. We split a small portion of the fagottini pasta with pear and Gorgonzola cream sauce. It was the absolute best. It sounds like an odd flavor combo but it works. We both had the veal (their specialty) hubby had the veal picatta. I had the Marsala. Both very good. It came with a polenta fritter that was good, I'm not sure what was inside, it had a nice flavor, maybe pimentos? Even though tiramisu or crème brûlée is usually my go to if having dessert, we went for cannolis for a "lighter" option. Very good as well. The last one the list is ambiance. Beautiful tables, classy elegant restaurant, and tuxedoed waitstaff. Excellent!

We had a lovely Mother's Day lunch. It was well worth the cost and we ate the leftovers for days…read more The food was absolutely delicious. For our selections, we got the fried mozzarella and fried calamari to start. We moved on to the beef medallions, chicken parm, lasagna, and lobster carbonara. Each bite was better than the previous. Our servers, Leslie and Alex were great! Leslie has the personality you pray for when you're celebrating a special occasion. We were blessed to have her. My only complaint, and this was super minor, the table space was tight. We had a party of 7 and it felt like we were stacked on top of the other tables. A couple of trips to the bathroom for the kids felt like a task. Once seated, we were fine, but the endless "excuse me's" was inconvenient. Overall, I'm glad we spent the afternoon at Maggiano's. I felt appreciated on my special day.

I went on a Sunday for an early dinner with my family and we enjoyed the family style experience, which was absolutely worth it. The meal is a full four-course experience starting with two fresh salads (which I loved), followed by appetizers like the meatballs and mozzarella sticks, then a variety of entrées, and ending with a trio of desserts. It's such a fun way to try multiple dishes and truly enjoy the menu. Everything was delicious and clearly made with fresh ingredients. We had more than enough food to share and even take home, which made the value even better. The overall experience felt relaxed, filling, and perfect for a group setting. And the service was exceptional! I would definitely recommend the family style option for parties of 4 or more. It's a great way to enjoy a variety of dishes and have a really enjoyable dining experience.

I'm usually not a ratatouille girl at all, but THIS one? Whew. The burrata on top took it to another level--creamy, rich, and perfectly balanced. I'd go back just for that alone. Now...the Detroit-style pizza?? Where has this been all my life? We got the Spicy Pepperoni and I'm still thinking about it. The combo of crispy edges, fluffy crust, hot honey, and goat cheese was unreal. At this point, I feel like I need to book a trip to Detroit just to compare lol. We also tried the cheese wheel pasta--flavor-wise it was just okay for me, but the tableside presentation was definitely the highlight. It's one of those dishes you order more for the experience than the taste. Paired everything with a bottle of prosecco, which made the whole night feel a little extra and very much needed. And shoutout to Zack--he was a great waiter. Attentive, friendly, and really helped make the experience smooth from start to finish. Overall, great vibes, solid food, and a fun dining experience. Definitely a spot I'd come back to--especially for that pizza and burrata situation.

I came in for dinner and ordered their spicy rigatoni vodka entree. While the flavors were very good, the portion size was extremely small. It was more like an appetizer. It was supposed to have sausage but I saw none. There were a few tidbits of pancetta. If I knew it was no Italian sausage in the pasta we would have ordered the chicken parmesan which was a bigger piece of chicken with a whole side of pasta. Which was twice this much then the pasta dish by itself. We would like to try a complimentary Chicken Parmesan dinner for my wife and I. Thank you very much!
