    Scaloppa Valtellina: veal scaloppine-amazing
    Laura A.

    My husband and I had a wonderful anniversary dinner. Service is impeccable, ambiance is comfortable and warm and the food is superb. We both had the pasta fagiole soup with was light and fresh. My husband had the rainbow trout and I had the special Spezzatino stew over parpadelle. It was fantastic. Dessert was cheesecake and lemoncello cake. Both delicious. We will be back.

    Small, quaint and authentic! Everything was made fresh and just delightful. A little expensive, but very nice.

    What a delight. Such personal service I have never had. The food was fresh and prepared to perfection. Going back soon. Reservations already made!

    Excellent food and wine. You have to make reservations because it's a small place. You will be greeted by the chef. This was our first time there. We went for our anniversary. Best Italian restaurant in the area. Everything is amazing.presentation of the food was amazing. And the chef told you how the dish is made. Highly recommended for a date night. They do have a big table for 10.

    We had a very enjoyable early Valentine's dinner at Osteria Rustica. The Osteria does 3 seatings, we chose the earliest at 5pm. The restaurant has around 8 tables, closely arranged in the storefront space. The walls are covered in photos of Venice. The tables are cleverly designed to have a full-height eating area with lower side pieces that can hold common items like bread or wine. The menus are printed daily so the specials are all there. I liked that. The staff were efficient, knowledgeable and friendly. Service was impeccable except for one oops when tap water was poured into my Pellegrino. The owner/chef described the appetizers to us. I could tell he wanted us to get the tricolore gnolchetti so we did. All three were good, and we brought some home. It was hard to stop eating it but I wanted to have room for the later course(s). There was pesto, classic Alfredo, and a tomato sauce, comprising the colors of the Italian flag. The complimentary bread was focaccia (simple bread), but made up for its simplicity by being nicely seasoned with a bit of a kick. Butter was served as well, no pretentious olive oil and balsamic here. I wanted to try the Caesar table side, but it wasn't offered to us and it isn't on the menu. I did notice that the tables who got it were all 4 tops so perhaps it doesn't work for them to take up all that room just to make 2 salads. Around 5:25pm a woman came in asking for a table for 2 with no reservation and was turned away. They mean it when they say reservations are required. I liked that too. For our mains, I got the Veal Scallopine with Gorgonzola sauce and my husband got the signature Osso Bucco, pork. The veal was very tender and the Gorgonzola was not overwhelming nor too rich. It came with vegetables of the day and linguini. I was a little worried because the vegetables were "of the day" and the menu had just been printed but they were fresh zucchini, carrot and onion strings, well seasoned and flavored with butter or oil. The Osso Bucco was amazing. Served with saffron risotto and a red sauce, it was falling off the bone tender. The combination of the saffron in the risotto and the red sauce on the meat was nothing short of magical. It went really well with the Sangiovese my hubby had selected too. Slow and steady, he cleaned the plate. And I took the bones home for stock. We also took home the rest of my veal and noodles. At that point, we were finishing our $70 wine and were too full for dessert. The Tiramisu did sound good. There was also a Lemoncello cake. All in all, with a generous tip our bill was $230. For this level of food that is a great value. The wine, I liked it. I found it online at two places for $14 so that is quite a markup. I wonder if we can bring our own? For a place in a store front to have the paper tablecloths and napkins this far after Covid, that also took away from the fine dining experience. For all these factors, I wound up with 4 stars. We had a very enjoyable evening.

    Absolutely fabulous. Chef Floriano never disappoints. I highly recommend it. Make reservations!

    Delightful and delicious. Amidst the sea of mundane fry it up chain crappy restaurants, tucked in a small strip is this gem. Northern Italian cuisine and its truly innovative ingredients beautifully presented with excellent service

    Everything super delicious! Food was fresh and extremely delicious. Wine was incredible and dessert also. What a great celebration. I will definitely return.

    A true gem. Small little restaurant hidden in a strip mall in FL. As an Italian family, we have a pretty highbar when it comes to eating out. This sweet restaurant was one of the best handmade Italian spots. The sweetest part was when the owner came out to greet each table. This was the huge package!

    Osso Buco that you will dream about!

The carpaccio was nicely done and presented, a nice size for 2. The portions ere also generous. I mentioned the service earlier. At this place, they retrieve your used cutlery and plates and replace them after every course. I really like this because I don't like having to lick off my cutlery between courses. Between the white tablecloths, the excellent and attentive service and the freshness of the fare, you really feel welcomed into a bit of Italy. Nice ambiance. The wine list has nice choices at good prices. I had the Chianti at $12. Nice pours too.

While the patio is nicely designed and has comfy wicker chairs, the parking lot traffic does take a bit from the ambiance. But hey, how often can I dine outside in Florida without dying of heat or mosquitos or drowning in a downpour. They had a ton of delicious specials going but I like to try places for the first time based on my favorite dishes. However, I can't pass up octopus carpaccio and while it was delicious, the slices stuck to the plate which the waiter attributed to being outside where it warmed up. Next time, calamari for sure! I got the fettuccine bolognese as I'm still chasing a sauce that isn't just ground beef added to marinara. I'm happy to say it's the best bolognaise I've found in Central Florida! Their pasta was cooked perfectly and the sauce was rich and not overly tomatoey or sweet like most places. It also was fully tossed so it clung to the noodles. Dad was in a pizza mood but was definitely temped by the veal chop special. He ended up with the all in pie and I knew it was a winner when he ate the crust. He's very picky about crust and this hit the mark on texture and taste! So yes, the love this group has for Don Giovanni is real and if you haven't tried it I definitely recommend it!
