Stayed at the Waldorf and this spot sits at the neighboring Signia, and yes, you can walk there from the Waldorf, which is perfect for when you've been eating like royalty and need a dramatic 6-minute wellness walk. La Luce is a rustic Italian spot built around handmade pastas. I got the saffron homemade noodles with seafood. Reader, I did not hesitate. The pasta had that perfect handmade texture, slightly imperfect, exactly how pasta should be. Rich saffron, seafood, and sauce. Now where is my bread for the clean up? My pasta was the correct decision. read more

La Luce delivered an excellent dining experience during our stay at Signia Hotel. The meal starts strong with fresh, warm complimentary bread paired with high-quality olive oil. Simple, but done right. The menu shines across the board, including surprisingly robust kids' meal options, which is rare and appreciated. Every entrée we tried was solid, but the spaghetti was the standout. Perfectly cooked, flavorful, and clearly made with care. A huge practical plus is that it was never busy. We were seated immediately every time, with no wait or stress, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The ambiance was dim and calming. The biggest pro, by far, was the service. Santiago was exceptional. Attentive, proactive, and genuinely invested in making sure we had a great experience. He even went next door to a nearby restaurant to track down buffalo sauce for one of our meals. That is above-and-beyond service, and it didn't go unnoticed. Cons? Honestly, none. La Luce gets it right on food, service, and overall experience. We would happily return. read more

This restaurant is located inside the Hilton hotel. It has a very cozy ambiance, with dim lighting. Definitely on the higher side of pricing. The menu is not very vegetarian friendly. You will hardly see anything for vegetarians. But they were nice enough to make me a penne pasta without the oysters, and charged me the normal price and not the one listed on the menu. Here is everything we tried: - Ceasar Salad - a very different take to the traditional salad, but was delicious. - Custom Veggie Penne Pasta - there was a pasta in the menu with oysters and very expensive. I asked them if they could make it vegetarian for me, and they did. It was delicious. - Some mushroom dish - it was ok. My friend loved it. - Butterscotch Pudding - so good that I'm craving it right now as I write the review. Overall, loved our dinner experience, with great ambiance, and attentive service. I wish they had more vegetarian options. But whatever we ate, was delicious. Definitely recommend it. read more

I've search for the wine list for this restaurant. We dined there and had some odd occurrences and one of them was a wine order gone wrong? Waiter served me a different wine than I ordered and argued about it with me. The one I wanted was nice (after almost begging the guy to get me the correct one!) but do not know the name. I'd like to buy it if I can find out the name. It was an Austrian Riesling. read more

On our first night, my wife and I had dinner with her boss at La Luce within the Signia at Hilton where we stayed for the week. The restaurant was a lovely experience with a tender lamb shank that melted in my mouth and extra dirty gin martinis that tantalized my senses. The fine Italian restaurant has high ceilings and rich, warm lighting, which is good for dinner at night if you want to be bougie. I enjoyed multiple extra dirty gin martinis made with The Botanist, which brought me to a place of spiritual harmony. The Sangiovese-braised lamb shank was so succulent and savory that it sent my senses to the ninth level of Nirvana. The butternut squash ragu went with the Tuscan bean and lamb. For dessert, I savored the butterscotch pudding that went wonderfully with the house-made toffee, which I enjoyed immensely with a pour of Frangelico. It was a magical way to conclude that evening. I would go back for the lamb shank every time... and the butterscotch pudding... and the extra dirty gin martinis. read more

Nice hotel restaurant. Pasta made fresh, in-house. The margherita pizza, which seems so simple...is phenomenal. So tasty. The Nutella dessert is an absolute must. I even tried the kids spaghetti and it was great. Bartenders are very friendly, helpful with tips for the area, and incredibly attentive. I have eaten here countless times. They will validate your parking if you come just for dinner! read more

We decided to try La Luce in the Signia Hilton when we stayed next door at the Waldorf. Once you enter the restaurant, you feel tucked away in a cozy intimate setting. I decided to try the Magical dining meal ($40) and it was delicious. Starter- stone salad (could be a meal in itself) which had fresh peaches, goat cheese, candied walnuts, radishes and a light vinegarette dressing. I would eat it everyday if I could. Main- vesuvio bolognese with a duck and beef ragu; I love a fun shaped pasta, but the rigatoni it usually comes with held the sauce better. Dessert- lemon cake- rich yet light and fluffy. read more

La Luce at Signia by Hilton Bonnet Creek - A Decade of Excellence It's been a while since I last reviewed La Luce, but let me set the record straight--it remains just as phenomenal as when I first dined there 10 years ago. The quality, service, and ambiance have stood the test of time, making it one of the best Italian restaurants in Orlando. I've been a loyal guest ever since, and no matter how many times I visit, the team treats every guest with the same warm hospitality--whether it's your first time or your 50th. That says a lot. Ambiance & Experience La Luce underwent a renovation about a year ago, and the refreshed setup is spacious, elegant, and inviting. There's a comfortable entry area for walk-ins, a well-stocked bar, and private dining rooms for events of 30-40 guests. Plus, the views? Spectacular. You get a glimpse of the lazy river, golf course, and even fireworks around 9 PM. Valentine's Day Dinner I dined at La Luce on February 14th for a Valentine's Day dinner. I made the mistake of not booking a reservation, but they kindly held a walk-in table for me. That's the kind of service that keeps me coming back! Food Highlights La Luce's menu never disappoints, and our meal was no exception: Fried Olives - A must-try! Crispy, lightly breaded, perfectly seasoned with just the right kick. If you're an olive fan, this is for you. Margherita Pizza - Wood-fired to perfection. Thin crust, balanced sauce (not too acidic, not too sweet), and fresh basil. Tomato Basil Soup - Delicious, though I would have preferred it a bit hotter. Pork Chop - A standout dish! Their recipe seems to have changed recently--more flavorful, juicy, and tender, paired beautifully with sweet potato mash & roasted dates. Crab & Lobster Mascarpone - Absolute perfection. Rich, creamy, and indulgent. Ribeye Steak - Cooked medium rare to perfection. Special Valentine's Dessert - We were so full but had to end on a sweet note! Drinks & Spirits Their wine selection is extensive, featuring incredible Italian, Argentinian, Chilean, and American wines. For bourbon and whiskey lovers, their selection is top-notch. And for my fellow tequila enthusiasts, you won't find the typical celebrity additive-filled brands here. Instead, you'll find Fortaleza (Los Abuelos) and other high-quality options. I always order their Margarita--crafted with freshly squeezed lime, quality tequila, agave, and orange liqueur. No mixers, no shortcuts--just a perfectly balanced cocktail. Shoutout to the Amazing Staff The heart of La Luce is its incredible team. Special thanks to Luque, Nella, Cesar, Stephano, Ricardo, Jeff, and Alberto for always providing exceptional service. And a heartfelt mention to Shirley, who always greeted my son and me with a warm smile at the pizza-making station. Final Thoughts La Luce at Signia by Hilton Bonnet Creek is a gem that never loses its shine. Whether you're a local or visiting Disney Springs, it's a must-visit for a refined yet welcoming dining experience.

We enjoyed a wonderful dinner with my parents last weekend. The service was by far the shining star of the meal experience. Our server was incredibly attentive, knowledgeable, and warm. She made fantastic recommendations that all paid off to be delicious and she even surprised us with a complimentary dessert board to celebrate our life milestone - we're expecting! The house made focaccia bread was superb in flavor, would've liked to see a bit crispier crust. The oil, parmesan, red pepper flake combination was a perfect compliment! We split Caesar salads and the Arancini appetizer. The Caesar salad dressing was YUMMY! Really light and bursting with flavor and served over high quality romaine. The Arancini was a veal and spinach mixture, very savory and well cooked. My past dish, the Bucatini was very tasty. Not the most stellar pasta dish I've had at lower price points. The house made pasta was perfect and al dente, the bacon could've been cooked a bit more, and the dish lacked "punch" overall. I topped mine with grilled shrimp - cooked well! My hubby tried the Linguini with Clams - again, he wasn't overwhelmed by the flavor but it was a great portion and clams were cooked correctly. The DESSERTS though. My goodness. What amazing tiramisu and chocolate mousse. I would go back just for a dessert platter and espresso. The restaurant is chic, decorated warmly and upscale. A great place for a date night or well behaved children if you're a dining family. read more

We had a great experience at La Luce inside the Signia by Hilton in Orlando. The food was genuinely delicious. We ordered the veal Parmesan and the sea bass, and both were truly excellent. The veal was perfectly crisp and tender, and the sea bass was easily the standout of the night. Our kids ordered spaghetti and meatballs and, as hotel guests, they ate free, which was a fantastic bonus and super simple to take advantage of. The Caesar salad was fresh and flavorful, and while the signature butterscotch pudding was tasty, it didn't quite top the sea bass or veal Parmesan for us. Overall, it's a very family friendly spot and incredibly convenient if you're staying on property. If you're at either the Signia or the Waldorf next door, make sure you take advantage of the kids eat free benefit that comes with the resort fee. We had a great experience and would absolutely go back. read more

I loved the food, ambiance, and service. The crudo was so so good. This reminded me of Italy. Price was fair too.

Very disappointing experience. Server was short with us and didn't seem excited to be taking care of us. A little expensive for what we got and felt the quality of the food was not what it could have been. The saving grace was their Beef Carpaccio. Of your looking for your money to be well spent, stick to the cocktails and desert. read more

Came here for magical dining. The ambiance is very welcoming and formal, which I liked. A lot of parking at the garage, your ticket can be validated at the restaurant. Got the salmon chowder soup of the day, it was absolutely delicious. The bolognese tasted mediocre at best for its price. The desserts (Flourless Chocolate Cake, Lemon Cake, and Butterscotch Pudding) was good but nothing outstanding. The service was impeccable. I'm mixed about coming here again, there was nothing that truly impressed me, though the ambiance and presentation of the food was stunning. read more

La Luce - salmon chowder soup - Italian Near Me - Orlando, Florida

La Luce is located inside Signia by Hilton hotel. I was staying at the Waldorf Astoria, which is directly connected to this hotel. So very easy access. I went for dinner on a Thursday night with a party of four. Unfortunately, the food was not the star of the night. It was served almost at room temperature. The frito mixto appetizer is a mixed of calamari and rock shrimp that was not good. It was soggy, flavorless and not a pretty dish. Also, we could hardly find any shrimp. There were some chopped pieces of shrimp scattered on this dish. It was not worth it. The pasta was good but average. The sauce was missing something. Also, I was told that some of the pastas are not homemade. Not what I expected. The grilled pork chop option was a nicer dish served with Tuscan farro and butternut squash drizzled with balsamic glaze. The cocktails were nicely made. I had two negroni and both were delicious. Good consistency by the bartenders. Service was great. Everyone was friendly and helpful. I had my baby with us and they were very accommodating with her. If you are staying at any of the hotels, this is a good option especially for a family gathering but I wouldn't dine here otherwise. read more

Our party of four had a drink at the bar before being seated. Relaxing and quiet bar In comparison to the bar in the lobby. Food was excellent, I highly recommend the grilled octopus. Tomahawk steak for two was perfectly cooked, it came out just as requested. The staff was friendly and very attentive. read more

La Luce was awesome! I enjoyed magical dining here. The seared salmon with pureed potatoes and chive butter was amazing and cooked to perfection. The chive butter sauce and potatoes made me very happy. My husband had entree envy but enjoyed his hot Italian pizza. The butterscotch pudding was not something I'd normally order, but I was really pleased with it, and it was plenty to share. The server was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about gluten free options. The hotel is beautiful and has a lot of other places to wander to with it being connected to the Waldorf hotel. Valet parking was validated with dinner and was super quick. read more

My husband and I had dinner here the night before my work conference began. We had a lovely time and enjoyed it very much. I had the special, which was shrimp and scallops on a bed of risotto, and a caprese salad and they were very good! My husband had the corn soup as an appetizer and the ravioli for dinner and they were also delicious. The highlight of the night was the butterscotch dessert. It was whipped and light with a dollop of whipped cream on the top and served with chocolate pieces (that had a thin line of caramel in the middle) for dipping. It was divine!!! The service was also very good. The wait staff were very attentive and worked well together. They made our meal a very nice experience. I was skeptical when we went to the restaurant because of some of the reviews on this site, but we found it to be a great experience and would highly recommend this restaurant to others! read more

I was really happy with this place and, bigger, so was my honey. He has stated in the past that he was done with ordering medium well steak bc 'no one gets it right'...he gave La Luce a 'perfect' rating in the state doneness. So, bravo, chef. Finer dining establishment within a hotel, we weren't guest of the hotel but yelp said come, so we called ahead and got a resy for 10 min out on a Saturday. Complementary focaccia and good quality evoo. I will say, my verde salad was overdressed, aside from that, great taste and experience. Two word review: better dessert. read more

Folks this place is very overrated $7.50 for a glass of Coke. Our waiter was fantastic. The food I wish I could say the same. It was very overpriced, underwhelming, and sad for a restaurant that's supposed to be of high caliber. This is not it. read more

5/5- NO HESITATION. Because this was this one of the most beautiful restaurant experiences of my life. When my date and I arrived for our 8pm flight reservation we were immediately seated at the patio table we reserved. Water and the softest bread with olive oil was brought to our table and we were given time to look over the menu... a little Too much time if you catch my drift but we were enjoying each other's company and really didn't think to much of it. Lots of busy restaurants have delays in service so we thought this was expected. But WOW were we shocked by what came next. The manager (first name Zach I believe) came to our table and apologized profusely for the "delay" it took for him to greet us personally. We were a bit speechless as we did not know this was something expected of him. Not only did he apologize for the delay but without hesitation he offered us a complimentary dessert after our meal for the "inconvenience" We accepted gratefully and were wowed by this service! We continued to wait for the waiter to come to take our order and were surprised when another waitress arrived carrying a fancy fried seafood appetizer that we hadn't ordered. She placed it down and said it was ALSO complimentary as we were made to wait much longer than reasonable for service (note: we did not FEEL it was a ridiculous wait at all so we're just dumbfounded by this excellent treatment.) not only did we receive the appetizer free but after realizing I had a shellfish allergy she said "let me bring you ANOTHER one that toy can eat" and brought out this delicious cauliflower, arugula salad. Let's just pause here and say. WOW. Just WOW. Our jaws were on the floor by the standard of hospitality this restaurant upheld. You can tell they are use to delivering ONLY THE BEST SERVICE and so anything outside of that is not tolerated by the staff. 10/10 hospitality experience. I realize this review is already very long and so I will conclude by saying check out the photos for images of the DELICIOUS food as well as more surprise COMPLIMENTARY goodies (including dessert!! What?!) that were brought to our table. My partner and I were so amazed by the experience that this restaurant (which we picked by chance) will now be one we INTENTIONALLY visit whenever we are in Orlando. Kudos to everyone working here! From wait staff to chefs! AMAZING!!!!!! read more

This was a really nice spot! It's a fine-dining Italian establishment inside the Hilton Bonnet Creek. We had a large party, but I believe our server's name was Deborah and she didn't miss a beat.

I had the lamb shank with Tuscan beans and definitely enjoyed it. read more

I stay at the Hilton Bonnet creek almost weekly. For some reason I have never made the time to eat here. This past trip, I made the decision to go and it was great. The service was perfect. I didn't have a reservation and they got me a table immediately on what looked to me a decently busy evening. My waiter was great and recommended the Caesar salad to start followed by their signature pork chop. Both were fantastic! It was a great experience all around and I will definitely be going back often. read more

What a fantastic experience in this hotel restaurant. The ambience is gorgeous and the seating is very comfortable. I sat at the bar area and my bartender was absolutely amazing, funny and kind. They have an extensive specially cocktail menu as well as a full selection of wines. The espresso martini was absolutely perfect. The dirty martini was absolutely amazing as well. I started with the salmon chowder and I had never had salmon chowder and it was literally divine! Every drop was absolutely delicious . The bartender Recommended me to go with the scallops and I'm glad I did. I had scallops over a creamy Parmesan fettuccine type sauce and every single bite was absolutely fabulous. I wish I could remember his name, but he told me he had been with them for years. His experience and expertise showed. I had such a good experience and was so surprised by the quality of the food. I was alone and the bartender made sure I was well catered to and not lonely. I highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely return to this location. read more

Came on a biz trip w my hubs and the kids and stayed at the Hilton. We didn't want to leave the hotel both nights so the kids and I just came downstairs to La Luce. The wait staff was amazing and always very attentive. The kids love Pesto and Margarita Pizza, so they literally ordered the same thing both days. I had a salad on the last day.

Food was really good and the service was great. Even though this is located in a relatively upscale hotel, they had a great balance of keeping it really upscale while catering to kids, which is so important since we're on Disney property.

Sometimes you just gotta escape work events. Took a walk down from the JW Marriott to here and had a nice dinner at the bar. Steak was great and seasoned nicely. Grilled vegetables had a nice bite and excellent char. Overall for $50, you really can't beat this especially considering how beef prices have went up lately. It was a massive steak with enough vegetables for 2, definitely an amazing value. Had the butterscotch pudding for dessert. Very rich and sweet. Would share this. Overall, heck yeah I'd come back. Hotel lobby is super nice too. read more
