Piacci is a pop-up during the daytime, offering salad, sandwiches and pastas. We have now eaten at Piacci four times for lunch and we will keep coming back. Our favorite is the Vinaio sandwich: Mortadella, Crema Pistacchio, Burrata, Arugula. The bread is so perfect because it doesn't hurt your mouth like so many toasted sandwiches do lol. The pastas, salad, and meatballs are also fantastic, and the service is like you're visiting family. Fabio and his team deliver excellent quality every time. You can dine in or order for pickup. We love dining in because it always feels like we've left Orlando and are sitting in a quiet Italian cafe in Europe. You must go check this place out and try the Vinaio.

We were in Orlando and looking for a place to have dinner, we searched for the best places to eat…read morein the area. Based on the recommendations we found, we decided to visit DOMU. The restaurant opened at 5:00 PM, and we arrived at 5:30 PM. We discovered there were already 80 people ahead of us. We spoke with the front desk and learned we could sit at the restaurant's bar. From the menu, we ordered the Domu Wings, Cheezus, Curry Ramen, and Mango Lychee Lemonade. We soon received our lemonade and chicken wings. The lemonade was a good, refreshing drink to begin our dinner. We became fans of Domu Chicken Wings; they were perfectly made and crunchy, and we loved every bite. The sauce on the chicken wings was also delicious and paired perfectly with them. Following that, we enjoyed Cheezus, which was another wonderful appetizer. Paired with the baguette, it was delicious and served as an excellent start to the meal. Both appetizers, the Chicken Wings and the Cheezus, were absolutely perfect and provided a fantastic beginning to our dinner. Following that, we enjoyed our Chicken Curry Ramen, which was delicious, well-flavored with all the spices, chicken, and excellent ramen for dinner, making it a great choice for the meal. We thoroughly enjoyed the food, service, and ambiance at DOMU, which is why they have been recognized as a Michelin Restaurant for the past four years.

The service was top-notch. The restaurant itself is super cute and had a very warm ambiance (also pretty casual which was nice!). And the food... y'all I can see why everyone hypes this place up because it really is PHENOMENAL. The Richie Rich ramen is the best Ramen I have ever had. The broth was delicious. The meat was cooked to perfection and I was so happy to have leftovers for the next day. The wings were the best wings I've had in a very long time or probably even ever lol (no exaggeration because if you try them, you'll totally understand and agree with me). I truly can't wait to go back and try more things from the menu!

The vibe is very small and intimate run entirely by a husband and wife staff of two. They had 5 parties dining at the same time and seemed to be their only searing for the Friday evening. The wife was our server and was super friendly. They had reached out to me ahead of time due to my crustacean allergy originally saying one of the courses was shrimp which they had no substitute for and so I asked if I could double up on something else and they said they would see what they could do. Not only did they have a substitute (we got to be the first ones to try a brand new chicken dish) but they made sure everyone at the table also got a serving. The meal was 3 courses made up of 5 dishes and they had a 3 and 5 wine glass pairing. The shrimp were huge and I loved the crunch kernels in the salad. The chicken was juicy and had a nice kick. The steak was so tender and the mushrooms were crunchy and flavorful. The sauce in the dessert was also surprisingly flavorful. The meal took a couple of hours and the portion sizes were pretty large for a tasting menu!

The only time available for reservation is at 7pm, and only a set number of tables are served at that time. We start with olives as the appetizer, which were surprisingly enjoyable, I normally hate olives but these taste more like olive oil rather than actual olives. Only thing was it was a little saltier than I would have liked. Next was the salad, which was one of the better dishes. It was light, refreshing, and different tastes and textures with the crunchy corn. For the proteins, overall lots of great flavors and is cooked to perfection. My only complaint, again, is that too much salt is used for my liking. The first bite is the best, but then you start to feel it, the need for water. Finally the dessert were picarones, fried sweet potato with a fruit syrup. I was not a fan of the donut to syrup ratio, theres way too much syrup, but at least it's a nice contrast of sweet and crispy golden on the outside, and soft and moist on the inside. I also liked the quantity of the food, had leftovers to take back which is a lot for a Michellin star restaurant.

Savory, spicy and messy in all the right ways. Of course, we couldn't leave without finishing with one of their giant cinnamon rolls covered in icing.

Restaurant #3 in my 2026 Magical Dining tour was this fantastic restaurant. This was my first visit…read moreto The Ravenous Pig and will not be my last. I was unable to make a reservation for this night, but walked in and was seated at the bar immediately. There are two hostess stands at this location. The first stand is at the door next to the Valet Parking stand and is for confirmed reservation seating. You are directed to walk further down the hallway towards the bar area for another separate hostess stand for walk-ins. We were seated at a nice two-top table close to the brewery room. (Note: we noticed a separate table inside the brewery which appeared to accommodate a small group and most likely requires a reservation to be seated there.) Kelly was our server and she was efficient, fun and very knowledgeable of the menu. She answered all of our questions, including explaining the ingredients of some of our selections. Our drink selections consisted of the frozen Getaway Car (vodka, sour cherry and maraschino liqueur) and the Woe Is Me martini (herb-infused Grey Goose with a pickled cherry tomato). The tomato made this martini stand out! The presentation of both drinks was memorable as was the taste of each. For our appetizers, we shared the Gatherer Salad (a zesty combination of baby greens, avocado, pickled beets, radish, goat, cheese and walnut granola with a herb vinaigrette dressing-outstanding!) and the Mushroom and Gruyère Beignets, set off by the pecorino cheese and the truffle aioli sauce. We easily could've had a second round of the beignets, but decided to go ahead and order our second course. For the second course, we shared the Pan Seared Redfish with summer vegetables, and the Steak Frites. The fish was delicate, light and the fennel broth made this dish a winner. The Steak Frites consisted of rubbed prime flat iron steak, garlic aïoli and bordelaise sauce-SO GOOD! The truffle fries were plentiful and, when combined with the sauce, resulted in a perfect accompaniment to this meal. For the final course, we shared the Black Forest Cake and the Peaches & Cream (caramelized puff pastry with peach jam, and mascarpone custard). Both desserts were the explanation points of the evening. At the end of the night, we told Kelly that we loved the combination of the "naughty and nice" pairings for this magical dining experience. (For example, the beignets and the salad, plus the redfish and the steak, allow you to both eat healthy and eat decadent.) A final shout out to the General Manager, Scott, who gave me an excellent tour of the outside beer garden (not occupied due to the rain that evening) and the major beer brewery facility next to it. TV screens are available in the garden, and would be an excellent party place for watching football this Fall. I think I have my next visit to The Ravenous Pig planned in the coming weeks. Great service and great food made this easily a 5-star evening.

They even have a brewery!! It's incredible and a testament to how good they are. I was re-reading my old review and was impressed with how they've kept up with obtaining and working with local growers and butchers. I'm sure that's been a big reason behind their continued success. Our waiter Billy was excellent. We were a group of 5 having a girl's dinner. He was great at answering all our questions and recommending certain items to us. We all chose from the magical dinning menu, what a deal! We all ordered different things and they were all excellent. The gatherer salad and the beignets were our favorites for the appetizers. For the entrees; The Red fish was so delicious, but I also tried a piece of the steak frites and that was fantastic as well. The Steak was super tender. That house made pasta linguine with shrimp was incredible as well. The black forest cake dessert was really good. I like that it wasn't too sweet. I love that they continuously update their menu in accordance to what is seasonal. The only critique I have is that when we first arrived, they had trouble finding our reservation. I had to pull up the email confirmation (Which I did confirm) A confirmation that they had actually sent me the previous day. The hostess lady seemed annoyed and asked us to sit and wait while they got a table ready. We waited around 15 minutes. No big deal, but a little nerve wracking when she said: "I don't see your name here." It's a good thing I kept that email confirmation. I'm actually really looking forward to coming back and trying other things from their menu, as well as their house-brewed beer.
