    Spaghetti and meatballs.
    Maureen D.

    Super busy on a week night, but very well managed. Wait was only 20 minutes. They give you a beeper when tables ready. We went with a couple that live here in Winter Haven. I got a yummy white calzone with ricotta and mozzarella, plus I added pepperoni. Hubby got spaghetti and meatballs. Our friends got eggplant parmigiana and lasagna. The cheesy bread was great. My calzone was scrumptious and big. I got red wine and hubby had a beer. Our friends drank coffee. Our waiter was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu choices. Views of the water offer great ambience. We highly recommend this place, if you're craving Italian. They have cannolis and other desserts but we passed because we were all too full!

    Amazing local spot! My grandparents have been bringing us to Floridino's for year, and we always have such a great experience. Love the updated location- the view of the lake is breathtaking! Staff is always friendly, food is always great! I love that they can accommodate vegan options for me too- oil based pasta with vegetables (and hot sauce)!

    Anti pasta salad and cheese garlic bread.

    Great gluten free pizza crust. I've been now 3 times and each was delicious. I love the salads. Greasy and tasty. Service is fast and food come out hot right from the kitchen. Great family place. Seating inside and a Screened in porch. I love this restaurant.

    Such a cute spot!! My husband and I were randomly in Winterhaven around dinner time and looked at the map for close by places for dinner. We thought the name sounded cute so we decided on Floridino's. They have a private parking lot, indoor and outdoor seating. We walked inside to a very busy spot but luckily a busser was just finishing up a table and sat us right away. My husband realized he has been there for lunch once before and suggested we get the pizza muffins for an appetizer. YALL! If you go for anything, GET THE PIZZA MUFFINS!!!! It's like cinnamon bun, but make it pizza. Best things ever!!! I was full after eating 2. My husband ordered the chicken Parmesan and enjoyed it. I ordered a chicken calzone and added spinach instead of tomatoes. This thing is literally a large pizza folded in half. HUGE!! If anyone is ordering one, order it to share. My daughter got the kids spaghetti and meatballs. It came with 2 meatballs and she liked them but said the sauce wasn't very good. Nearly half of the people who walked in were welcomed as family which is wonderful! We have some places in our neck of the woods that are the same way and we love that!! Overall, we will definitely be back when we are in the area. We were so hungry we just got down to business when the food came but i did take photos of the menu.

    We loved it so much i ate first and took this pic second!! Their Antipasti salad is DELICIOUS.

    Whenever we are in town it is a forgone conclusion that we will eat at least once here. The best pizza we have had in Florida hands down. My opinion counts too because, I'm from Buffalo, NY area and I KNOW good pizza. Also a must have from here are their Antipasto salad and their Pin Wheels (delicious pizza roll ups). Staff is always great, as Tracy was today. They are handling social distancing well with all seating spaced out nicely.

    The service and foods were decent. The calzone was exquisite and delicious. The "thin crust" pizza was the only issue. The toppings were wonderful but the crust isn't crusty at all. It had more of the consistency of a biscuit. The wine menu is great!

    Side salad

    Went there for lunch! Ordered the pizza muffins lunch special.. It came with 6 and a dipping marinara sauce and included a salad . I must say overall the food was pretty good, and the salad was huge. Staff could've been a little friendlier and the bathroom needs a major facelift, but the food for the price was good.

    Perfect for what we were looking for - kid-friendly menu and atmosphere. Servers were helpful and food was classic Italian-American pizza / pasta fare. Nice sunset view while we waited for our table.

    This restaurant is by far overrated. The ambiance is very dark when you go in with piano music…read moreplaying. The host were rude and didn't have a warm welcome upon arrival. We were seated in the back room for a birthday dinner celebration. The room was extremely dark and we couldn't turn on the other lights because it was connected to the most dustiest ceiling fans that had at least 1/4 of an inch thick of dust. The woman who was coming in and out of the room to pour water in the water glasses had an attitude like she didn't want to be there. I asked her a question about the menu and she very dryly told me "you can't order that unless you are on the other side" then walked away. That's when I was inquiring about the bistro menu. At that point I knew I wasn't going to be able to eat anything there due to their lack of plant based items or even easily adjustable items so I just ate the bruschetta. However when we placed the order for the bruschetta it never came out. So once we asked about it, it was then comped and brought out. Our waiter was very irritated and annoyed it seemed with the large party he had to tend to but his assistant which was a younger more personable guy was way more pleasant to be around. The cost point for the food was beyond the taste and size of the portions. When I asked about kid options, the waiter told me he could have the chef make a kids steak or chicken tenders and fries. It was my mistake for not asking for the price since I assumed it was a kids portion. Granted the tiniest steak did come out I still had to pay over $24 which I would have purchased the regular adult size if that was the case. So some clarity on the menu options for the kids would have been greatly appreciated. I can go on and on about this place but ultimately I would recommend not to go here unless you don't care about customer service or price points. Upon leaving the family event, and getting home I then realized my debit card was never returned to me by our gracious waiter. So once we returned to retrieve the card another day we were greeted with the rudest and most annoyed individuals at the host station. Needless to say we will never ever return.

    This was my first time visiting Carrabba's... despite some of the reviews, I enjoyed my time here…read more The service was great, quick and efficient. My server Kaleb was really great and informative, although a really busy day for a Wednesday he was on point. On to the food -- I ordered the mozzarella sticks as an appetizer to start which were crispy, well seasoned & definitely HOT (cheese PULLLL) lol Next the classic trio because I wanted to try their chicken parm and their Alfredo. Both were really good, I would say the Alfredo lacked a little bit of sauce but that's just personal preference. My meal came with a side, I chose the chicken soup.. it was GOOD but very heavy seasoning which made it somewhat spicy, so I did not finish it. ( Kaleb did try to offer me something else which I appreciated however I passed on the offer.) I tried the Caesar salad and that was good and fresh. Almost forgot to mention the warm bread for the table was sooooo good! Lol ( I know you're thinking it's just bread?) but it was freshly baked, and the olive oil with seasoning was a perfect touch. Not pictured* since it was my first time they gave me a complimentary free dessert. I chose the strawberry cheesecake, which was fluffy, creamy and tasted really good. Not too sweet. I would definitely return back.

The lasagna and the hot honey pizza were both flavorful and clearly made with care. We really enjoyed the quality of the dishes. When we arrived, an older gentleman working inside kindly let us know that outside drinks were not allowed. We completely understood. Living in Florida, we carry steel water bottles everywhere because of the heat, but rules are rules. We purchased water with our meal without any issue. We decided to sit outside and the same gentleman even brought our plates and everything out to us, which we appreciated. However, shortly after, a man we believe was a cook came out of the kitchen and began scolding us for having our water bottles on the table. We explained that we understood the rule and had purchased water. He responded that "the appearance isn't good." I started to move the bottles to the ground when he became more aggressive and said they could not be there at all unless they were for a child. My husband got up to take them to the car. While this was happening, another man walked in carrying a bright pink sparkling sippy cup for his daughter who appeared to be under two years old. The same employee stopped him and asked if the cup was for him or the child. I think it was pretty obvious the pink sippy cup wasn't for the adult. The interaction felt unnecessarily rude and uncomfortable. Had we not already paid for our meal, we would have left. It's a shame, because the food itself was good, but the way we were treated made the experience one we won't repeat.

This becomes an issue when close to ten minutes and multiple staff pass by with no acknowledgment. I went to stop someone walking by in order to get a table. To be fair, they were busy, but I'm not sure that warrants crickets at front of house. We were sat at a wet table that smelled of wet rag and at this point, seriously considered leaving. Being hungry and seeing how busy it was, we decided to stay. Our server was seasoned and friendly. Our drinks took a while and as we reviewed the ever confusing menu, we decided to order some alcoholic drinks. Drinks arrived and we had to step out front quickly. I found our server and let her know we had to step out, but would be right back. She said no problem. When we came back about three minutes had passed and our table was cleared. She brought us our drinks again and took our order. We ordered the crazy bread and the pepperoni pockets as an appetizer. The only thing crazy about the bread was the cost. It otherwise compared to dominos. The pepperoni pockets were very good! I ordered a spinach gourmet calzone and my partner got the sun-dried tomato pizza. The calzone was as described on the menu. That said, I longed for the calzones of NYC with heaps of ricotta, mozzarella and spinach sautéed in olive oil, onion and fresh garlic. What I got was essentially a cheese bread with a hat on. Chunks of unseasoned tomatoes, fresh unseasoned spinach and mozzarella cheese-that's it. No seasoning of any kind, outside of the charred taste that all the items had from the oven itself. The sauce had a sweetness to it and this also was just...a far cry from what I'm used to. He said his pizza was cooked well, but lacked flavor. They're in business a long time, so something is going right. However, for me, it missed the mark on all levels. At the end of the day, you go out to eat for the food, the food here was less than Sysco quality. We won't return.
