The two owners used to sell their pasta out of Tornatores restaurant but now they have their own shop. While I was there the owner was making gnocchi. They offer so many types of fresh pasta starting at 5.95 and I wanted to buy one of every variety. They offer about 6 or 7 kinds of ravioli. They have containers of made in house marinara (7.95) and meat sauce so you can purchase everything you need to cook up a pot of pasta. For dessert they have tiramisu, pistachio and ricotta or Torta Della Nonna by Bindi. The frozen pizza has unique toppings. I bought the zucchini and at home the pizza baked up to perfection. The pizza was thin and the crust came out crunchy. I loved it. I also bought a tray of lasagna that was frozen. You let it defrost a little and then bake it in the oven. So easy to make and so good. The store offers items in frozen and refrigerated cases and shelves of a few Italian cooking staples. The couple that owns this store are so friendly, happy to explain anything and excited to have their own store. I like that you can buy authentic restaurant quality food at Supermarket prices. Check the weekly hours as they are open certain days and right now close at 3 pm.

FANTASTIC PLACE- Turci Pasta is one of a kind…read more Cute ambience inside and friendly staff. Intimate setting and you get a show if you're there when they are making the pasta. ALL the pasta is made fresh and it shows!!!! Great selection of choices - our table ordered from the special menu that came with multiple courses. Starting out with the truffle honey bruschetta- let me say this is worth trying!!! So much flavor packed on a delicious piece of Italian bread. The purple sweet potato gnocchi is amazing! Just a burst of great flavors and creamy/cheese sauce. The green cappellacci pasta dish was delicious and a nice touch of arugula in the middle. The limoncello cake was decadent! This is a must try place in College park, support local businesses and enjoy.

She forgot the bread, forgot our water and we'd have to waive her down for refills, and mis ordered 2 items. We got entirely different items than we ordered.

One person was sitting at an outdoor table, there was a table of six and a table of 2 seated ahead of us. The last page of the menu states food is prepared "a la minute," so prepare yourself for a 15-40 minute wait for your food. If this is the case, we'd like to recommend the owners put out some bread and butter for the patrons to munch on as they prepare for the long wait. We watched as the table of 6 food came out rather haphazardly and certainly not all at once. We happened to have a coupon for a free appetizer, so we ordered the Crab Dip and a side salad to start along with our main entrees of "Fall Off The Bone" Ribs and Octopus Rissoto as soon as the server came by to take our order. So, 4 tables for her and she was by herself and the owner was in the kitchen cooking the food. The server bumped this review up an extra star. After sitting, waiting for quite some time, we had to ask the server if she could at least bring out the salad, and she said it was coming next. We'll, the Iceberg salad, came out along with the lukewarm Crab Dip and chips that could have been fresher. So, we ate those, and the main entrees were ready to come out as we finished the dip. The server brought out the fries and coleslaw and then we waited for the entrees to follow. The Octopus, surprisingly, was the best item. The rissoto was too dry for us. The ribs were the worst we've ever had dining out. Even with the sharp knife provided it was tough to cut the ribs apart from each other and the backside was burnt. Again, we were told the owner was cooking. These ribs should never have come out of the kitchen. We ate 2 of the 4 ribs and asked the server to take the other 2 back and present them to the chef along with our remark of them being the worst we've ever had when dining out. The server took the ribs back and removed $5 off the $17.99 ribs. As we left there was one table left finishing up their meal. The owner had every opportunity to come out and address the ribs and our dining experience but apparently chose not to do so. Anyway, we dine out at least twice a week and prefer to give the smaller mom and pop establishments are hard earned money. So, I implore the owner to go back and read MM's review from 2 weeks ago and realize nothing seems to have changed in our eyes. We won't be returning either as he/she had every opportunity to receive feedback in person while we were at the establishment. By the way, the server didn't know we were getting a complementary appetizer when she gave us the $5 off the ribs and we have no idea how she came up with that figure. Service was very good from her with what she had to deal with in the kitchen.

The décor is beautiful, and the combination of indoor seating and large garage doors opening to a spacious outdoor patio creates a fun date-night vibe with excellent beach views. Be aware that the indoor dining area was so loud. We opted to dine al fresco. The drink menu is creative, but cocktails are on the pricey side at around $15+. I tried the seasonal margarita and was surprised by how small the glass was for the cost. To be fair, it was served without ice (just how I prefer it), which likely factored into the size. Even the water glasses seemed unusually small. Service was excellent across the board. The entire staff worked together seamlessly, but the true standout was Peter, the host. When seating guests, he offered a choice between tables, a thoughtful touch I watched him extend to everyone. Throughout the evening, he seemed to be everywhere at once, helping deliver drinks and desserts, checking restrooms and supplies, assisting staff, and ensuring guests were taken care of. The ultimate example of his attentiveness came when I accidentally left my purse behind while walking on the beach. Peter actually started heading toward the beach to make sure I got it back. His attitude, work ethic, and willingness to help in every area made a lasting impression. Food prices are also on the higher side. I wanted to sample a few items, so I ordered two appetizers: the mussels, which were plentiful, and the shrimp and crab cake. I'm very particular about crab cakes, and this one was excellent and highly recommended. The portions were filling, though next time I'll probably order an entrée since the pricing works out similarly. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his double stack smashburger, and we couldn't pass up dessert. The chocolate cake was enormous, incredibly moist, and absolutely delicious. Overall, Boardwalk Bar & Grill offers fantastic views, a great atmosphere, excellent service, and quality food. Just be prepared for premium pricing. If you're looking for a fun beachside date night with outstanding hospitality, it's definitely worth a visit.

Friday night at Boardwalk Grill in Indialantic was nothing short of phenomenal. From the moment we walked in, the experience was top-notch. Our server, Bryant, was absolutely outstanding--kind, hilarious, attentive, and somehow managed to remember all eight ladies' names at our table after being challenged! Talk about impressive. We started with the burrata and fish dip, both fresh, flavorful, and the perfect way to kick off the evening. For our entrées, the steak and salmon were cooked to absolute perfection. Every bite was worth savoring. While Boardwalk may be a bit of a splurge, I can confidently say it's one of those places where the experience matches the price point. Between the food, service, atmosphere, and attention to detail, you won't leave disappointed.

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!

Zoey's Pasta 145 Ridge Center Dr, Davenport, FL 33837…read more I took my best friend out for his belated birthday and he chose Zoey's Pasta because he had eaten there before with his wife. Unfortunately, it was a huge disappointment. The restaurant was completely empty, and ordering was done only through a screen -- no human interaction at all. It felt like we were still in the COVID era. The food arrived in small brown paper containers with plastic utensils and cheap paper napkins. It honestly felt like fast food, not a restaurant experience. To make it worse, gratuity is requested on the ordering screen, and there's no option to rate the service afterward. The pictures on the restaurant's website are also misleading compared to what we actually received. I would not recommend this place
