I ate so much fresh home made bread soaking up all that goodness. Salads and soup were as always GREAT. Then came the entrees.

I got the red velvet cake and Karen enjoyed the cannoli pie. Neither survived!

Service could have been better- Asked for more bread, that came after we finished our entrees. So we didn't eat it.

It must be management pushing servers and bus boys to rush us out. I was asked 3 times in a 5 min span by the bus boys if I was finished with my meal. Then the server came over and he asked me!

The restaurant itself is disappointing. You feel like you're walking into a Mediterranean restaurant and it's very casual in the atmosphere and decorations. I dined with a group of individuals and we all felt the same about the food in that it had zero depth of flavor or in the case of the broccolini and the chicken marsala, they both had a distinct sour flavor. We all asked for Parmesan cheese, which is not served as a part of the meal, you do need to ask for it. And we all needed salt. The service was another disappointment. Although they were nice and friendly, they were not attentive in just a little things were left off. When we raise concerns about the soreness of the food, they said that that's the way it was supposed to be. Overall, the price would lead you to believe that this is an upscale restaurant and the experience is very downscale

Angelina's Pizzeria in DeLand (2687 S Woodland Blvd) is my go-to spot for authentic, homemade…read moreItalian food--I've been a regular for years, and it's consistently one of the best in Volusia County. This family-owned gem has been serving up delicious pizzas, pastas, and classic Italian dishes since 1998, always with the freshest natural ingredients and that warm, welcoming vibe that makes you feel right at home. They're especially known for their incredible homemade pizza--thin, crispy crust that's perfectly charred, tangy sauce, and generous toppings that make every slice addictive. But the real standout is their signature white pizza: ricotta and mozzarella with olive oil, fresh garlic, and herbs (no tomato sauce), creating this creamy, garlicky, herbaceous masterpiece that's unlike anything else around. It's my personal favorite on the pizza side--simple yet so flavorful, and reviewers rave about it being the best white pizza they've ever had. When I'm in the mood for something heartier, nothing beats their veal parmigiana--my absolute personal favorite entrée. Tender, grain-fed veal pounded thin, breaded just right, topped with rich marinara and melted cheese, served over perfectly cooked pasta. It's generous, comforting, and cooked to order every time--juicy, not greasy, with that classic Italian depth of flavor that hits all the right spots. The portions are huge, and it always leaves me satisfied without feeling heavy. Beyond that, their full menu shines: fresh pastas like clams over angel hair, chicken parm, eggplant parm, calzones, antipasto salads, garlic bread, and more--all made with wholesome, high-quality ingredients. The service is friendly and efficient (they handle crowds well even when busy), the dining room is cozy and family-friendly, and you can dine in, take out, or get delivery. If you're craving real homemade Italian in DeLand--whether it's pizza perfection, standout veal parm, or any of their other classics--Angelina's Pizzeria is the place. Call them at (386) 736-6999 or check bestpizzaindeland.com for the menu. Highly recommend--you'll keep coming back, just like I do! 1computeroutlet , 1websitenow

This charming restaurant is well-appointed and features both outdoor seating and a second floor dining space - perfect for private parties, receptions, or holiday events. Today, I went with the fan favorite Rigatoni Bolognese. First, though, a bit of bread (so delicious) and lemonade (very refreshing). The rigatoni was very good, though I thought it could do with a touch less salt. If the bolognese is strong enough (and it is here), I say let THAT flavor come through. My server, Trey, was an absolute sweetheart. Now, $22 for pasta may seem like a bit much; however, if you play it right you'll have delicious leftovers. Good food re-heats well. This is the case with entrees from Cafe Gianni. Next visit, I'm thinking the Puttanesca or trying their Vodka Sauce. Probably some cannoli. Definitely the tiramisu. Heck with it - I'll try it ALL.

We lived in the area back in 2005-2007 and Vincent's was one of those places that just stuck with us. You always wonder if places you loved years ago will still hold up... especially these days. Thankfully, Vincent's absolutely does. The food is still wonderful--rich, flavorful, and comforting in that nostalgic way that reminds you why you fell in love with it in the first place. Nothing felt watered down or "modernized" for the wrong reasons. It felt familiar, intentional, and genuinely cared for. Change isn't always progress. Sometimes staying loyal to who you are is the real win--and Vincent's has clearly done that. We left happy, full, and grateful that this place is still exactly what we remembered. Five stars, without hesitation.

Unfortunately, this visit left us a bit disappointed. We later noticed that a 20% gratuity had already been added to each of our tabs, which was not clearly disclosed. As a result, we unknowingly left our usual 20% tip on top of that. We absolutely respect and support fair compensation for servers, but automatic gratuity should be clearly communicated upfront. When we casually mentioned it--without asking for anything to be removed--the response we received felt dismissive. More concerning, our waitress (Becca) then appeared to discuss the situation with another table in a way that felt unprofessional. We still appreciate the quality of the food and have enjoyed many visits here, but transparency and professionalism matter. Since we rotate local restaurants for our weekly outings, experiences like this do influence where we choose to return.
