    Tiramisu
    Mike T.

    I live in Arizona and every time I visit my in-laws in Orlando I have to visit Peperoncino. Barbara is a magician in the kitchen and her food never disappoints. The food is always to die for. Raul our server always makes things fun. If you love Italian food then do yourself a favor and come here!

    Waiter was very nice and informative, you have a question they stay and answer in great detail. Our waiter addressed us as "hello friends". The inside is small but the ambiance is nice. They also have a small outdoor seating area. Now the important part. All the food was great. Mine was the gnocchi, I got the smaller portion because I usually don't eat much. But it is a very small portion. The shrimp and pasta is normal portion size. My husband enjoyed it. For dessert was a tiramisu but deconstructed. They said it was good just use to the normal way. The food is pretty pricey so go prepared. We have gone two times now with family. We will go back I am sure.

    Fabulous outside view

    I found this lovely Italian restaurant on a whim and had to check it out. It's located in a large shopping center with some other high end restaurants. The inside and outside patio are rather small however these are always the best Italian restaurants in my opinion, they don't have that huge chain feel. It's a family environment, where everyone is family. The outside was beautiful with a view of the courtyard fountain from the end table and greenery wall to provide privacy to guest. Our server was literally one of the most polite servers I have seen in a long time! He gave recommendations, answered our questions, continuously checked in on us. He had perfect manners. The food was perfect! We started with the house bread and created our dipping for the bread. We got Prosecco and aperol spritz to drink and the bruschetta was the best. Our main entrees were spaghetti and Cacio e Pepe! Everything was chefs kiss! Definitely go check out this cute Italian restaurant on Restaurant Row, I know I'll be back for more! Cheers

    The bread was yummy!

    Let me start off by saying the food and ambiance were very pleasant! Exactly the caliber I would expect from a genuine Italian restaurant. Unfortunately, the place falls short when it comes to the service department. Our first server was nice and informative but had to leave early due to their shift being over. Afterwards, we weren't really sure who our server was but it seemed like different staff members were filling in to help afterwards. The service took very long to bring us bread, water refills, and our bill took ages to get cashed out. I would understand if it was busy but we were one of two larger tables and maybe a couple of other small tables. We could see staff mingling at the bar and by the kitchen so there seemed to be downtime. I did enjoy the food and it was a cute, small place but all in all would probably not recommend.

    One of the best Italian restaurants in all of Orlando. Chef and owner, Barbara, along with Raul, the general Manager, make dining a treat. The food was outstanding. Freshly baked Italian bread daily makes for a great start. Happy hour prices are a deal. Would highly recommend.

    Lasagna Spaccanapoli and Carbonara Classica
    Amanda R.

    This place was way better than my expectations! We got greeted and sat very promptly and welcomed by all the staff. It was our first time and the son of the owner truly went above and beyond! He treated us like family and wanted us to feel welcomed and give us exactly what we wanted. The food was so fresh and delicious and I can't wait to go back and try more! The whole restaurant was very homie and truly reminds me of a little restaurant in Italy!

    Pasta Primavera
    Gina W.

    This was our first time here but it won't be our last! The service was fantastic. Daniel was kind, welcoming and really knew the menu. We opted to sit at the bar and enjoyed the happy hour wine and beer. It is a small intimate restaurant that has a very authentic cozy feel. Our steamed clam appetizer came with plenty of clams in a delicious broth. We asked for it to be mild and it was perfect. My husband enjoyed the spaghetti cacio e Pepe and I had the pasta primavera. The portions were a nice size. Everything was delicious. Our only regret was not saving room for dessert. Next time!

    This was one of the best Italian meals we've ever had, and that's saying a lot! We were greeted warmly when we entered the restaurant and quickly seated. The waiter was extremely friendly! He brought us water and warm bread and a carousel of seasonings to make our preferred dipping plate. We ordered a bottle of Chianti Classico after speaking with the sommelier who was extremely knowledgeable and informative! We talked about 3 recommendations and we chose a delicious wine that was a middle of the road price wise! We ordered the Bruschetta Classico Al Pomodoro with fresh mozzarella! Crazy good! My wife ordered the Risotto Al Nero which was squid ink risotto with Calamari and Octopus and she loved it! I ordered the Risotto Maremonti which was risotto with wild mushrooms and shrimp! So Good! We could barely breathe but were able to sample a shared tiramisu which was delicious! We were given complimentary sambuca and amaretto while we got the check. The service was top notch! We highly recommend this small, intimate place!

Still 5 stars since I can't bump it up another notch. They have their staples like Chicken Parm, Lasagna, Bolognese, Shrimp Fry Diavolo, Puttanesca , Piccata, Gnocchi, and a variety of delicious pizzas and appetizers. There are too many to name. This restaurant can stand on their own with their standards. Where they stand out is with their specials. The chef here is always innovating and trying some new dishes. I wish I could get a notification of what's on the menu each night. I've had some amazing surprises with the taste and presentation of these dishes. And when they have wedding soup (Christmas time), I definitely make sure I go. I feel like part of the family when I go here. They always recognize us and some of the staff even resembles member of my extended Italian family. They cook better than my Italian grandma (shhhh, don't tell her). They also just opened a sister restaurant (Amalfi) down the block so they're taking over Avalon Park! I've been here a lot and plan on going a lot more. Some of the best Italian food in Orlando! So glad it's close to my house!

The spaghetti meatballs also exquisite even for a simple dish, the meatballs not really extremely tender but they were still delicious. Overall the service and food were 10/10 especially our server Madison who's been there since the beginning and gave us A+ hospitality.

I think sometimes that the lack of service has kept me from eating out much, and then I go to Christinis where the service is too-notch. Great service can make lackluster food taste better but Christinis doesn't have to worry there. Their food is too notch as well. It is old world attentive service, and you can't help but feel special when you go there. Our server this evening was Atilla (sp?) and he has a commanding presence and keeps a close eye on things in an unobtrusive way. It was my birthday and they treated me very well. Okay, let's get to the food. Bread service before the meal was excellent. The bread came with an eggplant sauce that was excellent. They offer butter and olive oil but I say to forego that, and just have the eggplant sauce/dip. We both had the shrimp cocktail, which wasn't the plan. But the shrimp were so large and we hadn't had a shrimp cocktail in a long time, and boy was it good. The shrimp was fresh and as mentioned, very large. We then had a Caesar salad which was good. The cheese was good, but I was surprised that there were no anchovies. We like classic Caesar with anchovies, but the salad was good nonetheless. We split a small portion of the fagottini pasta with pear and Gorgonzola cream sauce. It was the absolute best. It sounds like an odd flavor combo but it works. We both had the veal (their specialty) hubby had the veal picatta. I had the Marsala. Both very good. It came with a polenta fritter that was good, I'm not sure what was inside, it had a nice flavor, maybe pimentos? Even though tiramisu or crème brûlée is usually my go to if having dessert, we went for cannolis for a "lighter" option. Very good as well. The last one the list is ambiance. Beautiful tables, classy elegant restaurant, and tuxedoed waitstaff. Excellent!
