Excellent carpaccio and my steak was cooked perfectly. Jamie my server was wonderful. Great dinner experience!

Just had a wonderful experience at the Trabucco restaurant at the Hilton in Orlando, Fl. While I was not expecting it at a resort restaurant, I couldn't have been more wrong. The food was exceptional and not just by hotel restaurant standards, but objectively excellent. The service by Jackie was wonderful. She gave me interesting information about the wine and talked up every dish we ordered. We ordered with confidence and anticipation. She even told me if I was disappointed in my entree (which I definitely wasn't) to let her know and she would bring me something else. The food was "hot off the press". I couldn't have expected a better meal from my Italian grandmother and grandma never gave me this kind of service. From appetizers through deserts, nothing disappointed. I would eat here again in a heartbeat! read more

Jackie was outstanding! First class service! She was knowledgeable and very informative about the menu!

Working at a conference and stopped into Trabucco for a quick bite. Sat at the bar and Kevin was quick to greet me and, because I can't make a decision, he was happy to make recommendations. I had a fab glass of wine at Kevin's suggestion and then chose the Pistachio pappardelle-adding Scallops. Absolutely amazing. The pasta was incredibly fresh, sauce light and rich( yes this is possible!) and the scallops were perfectly grilled. All in all, a 10/10 dinner. Kevin knows his wines as well as the menu and made everything feel special. Whether you are staying at the Hilton or coming from elsewhere, this is a fantastic dining experience. read more

Perfect detail to add -- that makes it even better. Here's your updated Yelp review: Trabucco Absolutely incredible experience at Trabucco inside the Hilton Orlando. The kale salad with pistachios was fresh and beautifully balanced, with a light dressing that enhanced the flavors without overpowering them. Crisp, clean, and the perfect start. The rigatoni bolognese with a meatball was rich and comforting with incredible depth of flavor. You can tell everything is thoughtfully prepared. Kevin was spot on with every recommendation -- especially the Cabernet. It paired perfectly with the bolognese and elevated the entire meal. To top it off, I ordered a cannoli to bring back to my hotel room, and they went above and beyond by sending it with a fresh bottle of water. Such a small gesture, but it spoke volumes about their hospitality and attention to detail. The atmosphere was relaxing and refreshing, and from the moment we walked in, we were greeted with genuine smiles. We truly felt welcomed, special, and cared for all evening. Highly recommend -- can't wait to return. read more

Located inside the Hilton Orlando, this spacious restaurant has modern Italian vibes. Large windows let in natural light. We had a large party with 2 tables of 8. Our reservation was for 7:30, we were seated immediately as we arrived and drinks orders were taken followed by entrees. However, our food didn't come out until after 9pm. For mainly pasta dishes the delay to service seemed excessive. The food was quite good though. I particularly liked the bruschetta appetizer, it had a great balance of creamy cheese and fresh tomatoes. read more

We dined here while staying at the Hilton. The caesar dressing with anchovy dressing is not to be taken lightly. It was a bit too fishy for us. The calamari was okay, but could use a little more seasoning. The rigatoni bolognese was very good and so was the paccheri alla vodka. For dessert, we enjoyed the burnt butter caramel cake for dessert. The service was great and attentive and the restaurant had a very nice atmosphere that you don't often find in a hotel. read more

Had a small casual business dinner last night at Trabucco and was wowed by everything, from the service to the food. We sat at the bar and Kevin took amazing care of us. His menu and drink knowledge was outstanding and provided amazing recommendations. The atmosphere was loud - again, we sat at the bar and there was no break between the hotel lobby bar, which made for slightly difficult conversation. The Zappa Del Mar was outstanding and the filet was cooked perfectly but lacked much depth of flavor - it could have been seasoned a little heavier. I will definitely be back next time I'm at Hilton Orlando. read more

We had a reservation for 3 people as soon as they opened. We arrived 5 mins early and were told to sit out front by the bar. Once they opened the hostess simply walked passed us. She also seated several people who showed up after. After getting her attention to explain we have been waiting, was when we were seated. Our server was quite pleasant. However, her service was rather slow. We thought maybe she had a lot of tables, but that was not the case. I believe she just was just forgetful and couldn't manage what was assigned. She made great suggestions though. The bread was on request and an additional charge, which is odd. I order the Amaretto sour, it seemed to not have much alcohol and I probably should have requested an additional shot. Now, the Lobster Manicotti was amazing. A lobster tail in addition to a lobster filled Manicotti! It was gone in minutes. Loved it. Overall, it's a nice ambiance, was not crowded, I loved my meal, but they need much improvement in service read more

This was a nice restaurant for my pre birthday. I went with my parents and checked in at 7. After a 5 minute wait, we were seated to a nice table. We didn't order drinks, and went directly to the main plates. I took the seafood manicotti (28 dollars), which had 3 tubes of pasta with minced shrimp, lobster, and scallops. I was hoping that there would be bigger chunks of seafood, but it was flavorful enough, especially with the creamy lobster sauce. The portions were quite small, but still satisfying for me. My mom took the pasta Alfredo with tomato sauce (30 dollars). The pasta could have been softer, but still enjoyable with the sauces provided as well. I also tried my dad's salmon (36 dollars). It was soft and fresh enough. We had to do dessert for my birthday, so I took the tiramisu (12 dollars), and my parents took the pistachio gelato and pomegranate sorbet (10 dollars each). The tiramisu was moist and enjoyable, especially with the rum flavor. The ice cream and sorbet could have used more flavor, but still acceptable. What was surprising was the dessert portions were bigger than the main plates. The service was a little slow because it was quite busy, but still nice and friendly. They comped us the gelato and sorbet for my birthday, which was a nice gesture. The atmosphere was quite crowded and sociable. It wasn't loud, but talkative atmosphere. It's a bit more upscale since it is at the Hilton. I am happy we chose this restaurant for my pre birthday this year. Definitely much better than that Mexican restaurant i went near UCF last year. It's quite expensive and the portions were small for the main plates. At least parking is validated and you can use the valet. This is located at the Hilton in international drive, so definitely expect crowd and traffic. At least it at the main entrance at the Hilton, at you can easily find and walk to it. You can use the Rest credits here if you have the American Express Platinum card, making this a great choice for upscale touristy Italian food. Overall: A- read more

So not worth the price tag. I ordered the salmon expecting it to be worth the $40 price tag and was disappointed. Some bites were dry or lacked flavor. It was only really enjoyable if you made sure it had the sauce on it. And the portion sizes are so small. I don't really understand why it's so expensive, I'm paying for food that's not well portioned or that good. And the bread basket was $10 for bread that kind of tasted like cheap store bought sourdough bread cut up and thrown in a basket. However, the servers were very nice and super attentive and I appreciated that. The inside is nice and gives the illusion you're in a nice restaurant. read more

I recently visited Trabucco with Co-Workers for dinner during an industry event held at the Hilton. In my opinion, hotel restaurants tend to be underwhelming. However, I was impressed with Trabucco. I started with the Filet Carpaccio as an appetizer. The flavorful cured meat melted in your mouth and was topped with rich earthy black truffle, briny capers, and a creamy aioli. For my entrée I had the Tonnarelli Carbonara. The pasta was soft and savory and covered in a creamy peppery egg sauce and mixed with crisp pork. read more

I came here on my final night staying at the Hilton Orlando on I-Drive for a conference. It was definitely busy on a Friday night. Word to the wise if you're there during conference season you probably want to make a reservation. I did not have one so my colleague and I ended up in the waiting area but Bella graciously agreed to still serve us there. I had the seafood manicotti and it was OK and definitely a small portion for $30. A woman who also ordered it remarked that she was still hungry after she finished her entrée. Luckily for me I also had someone willing to share their flatbread which was quite tasty and we rounded out the night with two desserts the Nutella bomboloni and the burnt butter caramel cake. The bomboloni was the crowd favorite. I can't remark too much about the ambiance although it definitely gave fine-dining Italian. I will say that even sitting in the waiting area I felt like I could have a great conversation with my dinner partner, and did not feel like the lobby commotion interfered. read more

The food was delicious here but what really made my experience was Kevin and Stacy. I would visit here again just for there interaction alone, they made our night. If you ever visit here make sure you request them!! read more

The food was very tasty- the menu is limited compared to your other Italian restaurants. They DO NOT have any fettuccine or Alfredo. But what we had was very delicious. The service was top tier and the ambiance was great. They have a full bar and their wine selection is fantastic. The bar tender Kevin York was amazing and definitely knew his stuff. From tequila to entree to desserts he could break it down so beautifully. Great experience. read more

Went to Trabucco for dinner while staying at the hotel. Food was smaller that most Italian places but was delicious. A little expensive but we expected that since it was in a hotel. Service was attentive even though it was a busy night. Ambiance was upscale, business casual. Not a place for kids and thankfully there weren't any the night we were there! read more

Kevin the bartender was really friendly and had a great way of explaining the menu. it made me want one of everything. Kevin was honestly more attentive than my server was.

Trabucco - Bar area - Italian Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Very very mediocre experience. Calamari came out and found a hair in first piece. Calamari was rubbery and definitely not fresh. Also ordered bread basket which was not warm bed and somewhat stale. Definitely not fresh and worthy of what this restaurant attempts to frame itself as. Ordered some pasta dishes and filets to eat family style. Pasta was cold and somewhat bland. Steaks were acceptable, slightly salty but not what I would compare to a similarly priced option from my local options in Fort Lauderdale. Service was very subpar and several times wish we could have engaged the server who was no where to be found. Check was close to $300 with tip and none of our kids or my wife was full and food was very mediocre. I realize South Florida has an exceptional culinary scene, but this was not worth the price tag by any means. Honestly as someone who doesn't tends to go to chain restaurants, I wish we had gone to Chilis saved the money and got what we know we could have expected. At least the food would have been warm. read more

I can't say enough about Trabucco. First off, our waiter David was amazing! His service, being very attentive and always checking up on us was on point! He ways extremely knowledgeable about the menu and recommended delicious dishes! From the appetizers to the main dishes, all were delicious! I would 100% recommend this restaurant! Wish they had a location in NY! Until the next time we're in Florida! read more

Kevin, at Trabucco......wow...one word....WOW...absolutely amazing. All the food he recommended was amazing. I will be back for sure.

Disgusted, with the credit card was charged , the tip was doubled, and they will not credit, If you look at the receipt, it's clearly on there..We're supposed to get the bread complimentary that the waiter offered (which they charge for by the way ) Because we didn't want to get a basket , we just wanted a slice and they ended up charging us for that as well $10.00 .and food is just ok read more

3.5 stars We had a pretty solid dinner here during a conference that was at the Hilton Orlando. No reservations, party of 7 walking in and they pleasantly surprised us with a table in their wine room! Our waiter was great considering it was a busy night with many other conference attendees (there were not many options to eat nearby). For drinks we all shared a couple bottles of the Rombauer Chardonnay which I really enjoyed (very buttery if you like chards like that). I was educated by a coworker that it's known as "cougar juice." No idea why. Anyways for food, we shared 2 salads (insulata mista and insalata di trubucco). They were both delicious with the former having pears and Gorgonzola, and the latter like a Caesar salad. We also shared a fritto misto in saor which was fried calamari and fried shrimp over a sweet and sour-esque onions and raisins. It was interesting...I didn't hate it nor love it. For my entree I had the brodetto di pesce which the waiter described as similar to a SF cioppino but it was over saffron risotto (so not as soupy). It was very flavorful...tomato broth was on point with a good amount of seafood and the risotto was filling. All in all, if stuck at this hotel again I would come back. Loved our waiter who was clearly putting the effort in getting our food, replenishing our bread basket and refilling our waters despite the restaurant being busy. read more

I had a delightful dinner at Trabucco tonight. Jackie made the evening so relaxing and enjoyable. She is so personable and an expert on the menu.

If you find yourself in the opportunity to sit at the bar out front, it's the best seat around. Kevin and Austin will literally make your stay.

Nice Italian restaurant tucked into the Hilton. We had some delicious Italian wine and a couple of cocktails with lite bites at the beautiful bar. Madison and Kevin provided us great customer service and we enjoyed shooting the breeze and talking all things with them ranging from food to life goals. I highly recommend this restaurant for upscale Italian wish we could have tried more dishes but our experience left us wanting to come back for more. Madison is a killer mixologist and can make you anything your palate desires. I would highly recommend this restaurant for special occasions or if you want to splurge a romantic night out read more

I will agree with other reviews. The food is very good, but the portions are so small. Everyone in my party left hungry. The service....it could be better. It wasn't busy but we never got a water refill. If you are at the hotel, it's fine. Have a snack before or after. read more

Stacy is probably the sweetest server I have ever met. She wanted to make sure my thirst was well quenched even though I'm not a drinker. She went as far as requesting a virgin version for me since each course was accompanied with a cocktail. At the time the bartenders were too busy. But the offer alone was heartwarming. To make matters better, Madison who had made me a virgin mint spritzer during the cocktail half hour, passed by with the course's cocktail and remembered me. She told me she would be back in a moment. She came back with my own non-alcoholic Peachy Mocktail. I felt so important, though I'm not. The atmosphere is perfect. And the food is excellent. The seared grouper atop pesto bagna couda is unforgettable. And the frito misto is uniquely delicious. And the limoncello was surprisingly so tasty. I'm interested to know if parking is always validated with dining. read more

The dinner my colleague and I had at Trabucco was one of the top ten meals I've enjoyed anywhere in the world. From the initial greeting to our waiter/bartender Kevin and his partner, Hannah our experience was exceptional. The food was equally excellent. I've been lucky to eat at some of the finest restaurants in the world and across the board each appetizer (the octopus!), entree, (the pork chop), the sides and the dessert (burnt butter cake) were blazingly good. The best part of the experience, again, was how well Kevin took care of us. He knows his stuff and you can tell he has joy in his work because he elevated an already spectacular dining experience. You might want to make a reservation tho as they can get busy. read more
