Lovely first visit here for lunch today - would recommend and will certainly return. Cafe Gianni…read moresits in one of the oldest buildings in the downtown area of Mount Dora - as in 1860s old. 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. Grazie!

My wife and I came back to Vincent's for the first time in 19 years to celebrate our anniversary,…read moreand honestly--it was perfect. 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.

We ordered the burger and gyro platters from the lunch menu and were not disappointed at their size and flavor. The coleslaw was a bit too sweet for my taste though. Our server was very nice and attentive, and the food did not take too long to arrive. I loved the fact that they allow dogs, even if you are seating inside, so we were able to bring our furry friend with us. :)

First, It didn't seem like the food was fresh, the fries tasted stale, the spinach pie was a huge blob and the presentation was awkward. The spinach pie was nearly the size of the plate and was nearly flat as a pancake. I was so confused why they even bothered placing it on a bed of lettuce. I ended up with wilted lettuce at the end. My biggest complaint is they need to pay attention to their cleanliness. I had something floating in my glass, there was a large cobweb hanging from the main light fixture, and when my food was brought out, the tray was covered in crumbs. At least wipe it down after clearing a table.

Especially the meatballs in their homemade marinara sauce. Christina, our waitress, took wonderful care of us. She was so kind and helpful as we ordered the food that we ate there, and ordered the food that we were taking with us. The other staff members were so friendly and kind to us as well. A special point of safety was that we were able to enter the restaurant parking lot and leave on a side street, which gave us safety and convenience. We are already planning our next trip to Mount Dora to eat there again. I'll bet we take some friends with us!

Why make me enter my phone number if you won't let me know there was an issue with the order.. The sausage and onions were not good and I don't think I'll be returning

This restaurant is one of the best Italian restaurants that I have been to. We were greeted by a very cordial person who gave us a selection of seating and promptly found a table that we desired. Upon arrival she made us feel like family. Shortly after we were seated Jenna, our friendly server, greeted us. She was a fantastic server from the time we sat down in our booth until the time we departed. The family atmosphere in this restaurant made me feel that I was eating at Grandma's house! The menu offered a spectacular variety of Italian specialties that would satisfy most individuals. I selected the Shrimp Alfredo, with the side of garlic knots, and could not believe how much it exceeded my expectations! The sauce was very creamy and tasty while the shrimp tasted like they just came out of the water. The shrimp were firm and also very tasty. The garlic knots were outstanding. I would highly recommend this restaurant for you next Italian style meal! It is worth the trip because I guarantee(I do not normally add this to my reviews) that you not be disappointed! By the way the prices were reasonable for the amount and quality of food that you receive. Thank you for the wonderful experience and I will return the next time I am in the area!

The other two diners in our party split the lasagna and found the serving generous. They also really liked the garlic bread and ordered an extra side of this. My half of the pizza was the Stavros Deluxe and the toppings were very generous and of good quality. I also found the crust to be crisp despite being a thicker variety and it had a good flavor. I also split a Greek salad with my wife and the medium size was perfect for the both of us. Seating was comfortable, but our location was directly under the vents. So next time I'll sit along the outside wall to avoid the drafts. Our server was friendly and attentive and nobody wanted for refills or service.

I wanted to try something different so I ordered a small pizza. He loved his meal again, my pizza not so much. The pizza was a bit overcooked, very dry, I asked for a side of sauce which helped a bit. Very disappointed. There was something that was burning my eyes, thinking fumes from the pizza oven. And can I talk about an Italian restaurant being out of red wine? They had a flat, disgusting sweet red, not able to pass as wine. Just wondering if an Italian restaurant is out of red wine and you are right next to a Publix liquor store and grocery store, why would you not go buy a decent red wine, easy money maker. Very disappointing as I just shared this restaurant with many neighbors. Hoping it's a fluke, I will try again, and post an update. Service was excellent. (Wine should have been removed from bill as it wasn't drinkable)
