What a fantastic culinary experience. Everything was absolute perfection from start to finish!…read moreWarmly greeted and sat immediately. The ambiance is elegant and sophisticated. The decor is impeccable. I started with the bread service. Delicious and warm with the softest and light butter you can imagine to smear. Next I had grilled oysters. They were small, but mighty in delicious flavor. Next I had the strawberry, watermelon and feta salad. The flavors exploded in my mouth... yummy. Our server, Maria, then brought me a taste of the Caesar salad and it too was outstanding. They prepare it freshly table-side and I love that they had anchovies . They have weekly chef specials and we had the lobster Thermidor. Large, fresh and absolutely decadent. Every bite was packed with flavor. I paired it with the brussel sprouts and again a 10/10... simply wonderful.They have an amazing and extensive wine selection of course. They also have a full bar to prepare whatever delights you. The chef also came out to visit us and I appreciates the dedication to curating a fantastic experience. They offer indoor and outdoor seating with a beautiful view of the fountain. From the service to the food, everything about this dining experience was magnificent and perfect!!! I highly recommend and will definitely return.

European Corner - A Taste of Europe at the Merritt Square Mall…read more Late one Friday morning a group of us met here for lunch. It was a very warm morning & the tables in the large covered outdoor patio were unoccupied. As soon as we entered, we noticed that the restaurant, itself, was warm. Individually two of us requested an adjustment to the A/C but it was not possible. Unfortunately, for us, that meant that we were a bit uncomfortable throughout the meal. After we were seated, our pretty server who hailed from Russia presented us with menus & filled our water glasses. She then left a basket filled with warm delicious rolls attractively lined in linen napkins. While we waited for the rest of our party to arrive, I glanced around the restaurant appreciating its lovely ambiance. We sat a table for six covered in pale peach tablecloths. Inside the matching linen napkins was our silverware. A small vase of flowers on the tables added other notes of color and elegance to the room. The walls were a beautiful blue or warm golden yellow color. There was a nice-sized bar at one end of the room with a full selection of alcohol available. The beer selection was quite extensive. Long Curtains on the outside windows filtered the view of the mall parking lot. Music played in the background. I felt like I was back in Europe. The menu is not overwhelming but there are enough choices to please everyone in our party. I cannot even pronounce my selection even though I ask a friend next to me who has lived all over Europe to repeat it several times to me. In the end, I just point to my choice and we all laugh. Let us see how YOU do with the pronunciation. It is Pljeskavica Gourmet, $12.95. I have ordered it here, several times before, so you would think by now that I could pronounce it. The dish is Ground Beef & Pork, stuffed with Cheese and Bacon, served with Fries and Chopped Onion. It arrives with a small amount of a freshly chopped tomato sauce. It tastes delicious - like Meatloaf. My European friend seating next to me starts with a bowl of Cream of Mushroom Soup, $3.45 served piping hot and she declares that it is very good. She then orders a Caesar Salad, $4.95 that arrives on a large chilled plate with lots of very fresh green lettuce, croutons, a generous sprinkling of Shredded Cheese & a tasty Caesar Dressing. We are all surprised at the many wedges of ripened tomatoes surrounding the salad. How unusual! Later, she orders the Crepes for Dessert, $4.45 (choose - with Nutella, Walnuts or Honey.) She is happy with its preparation. The server brings her some plum preserve to top the crepes. My sister orders the Philly Cheese Sandwich, $8.95 that consists of Shaved Prime Beef, Onion, Pepper, Mushroom and Cheese, which she thoroughly enjoys. Serving the sandwich sliced makes for neater eating. Another diner at our table orders the Shopska Salad, $4.95 that constitutes of Tomato, Cucumber, Pepper, Onion and Feta Cheese. It arrives on a chilled plate and looks very fresh and appetizing. Our final diner orders the Chicken Breast with Cheese Sandwich, $6.95. We are all satisfied with the food. Someday I want to order the Crème Brulee for dessert. There are many choices for coffee including Cappuccino (and Double Cappuccino) but with the room so warm, I pass on the coffee - maybe another time. The service at our lunchtime visit is good too. Our server refills our water glasses without any reminders. She patiently explains any menu questions that we have and is quite attentive to our needs. There is only one other diner in the restaurant luckily for us. Our only other negative beside the lack of adequate A/C is that the server requests that we pay in cash for meals costing less than $10.00. For one diner this is a big problem and she has to order an additional item to bring up her bill. I have never run intro this at a sit down restaurant before so be aware of this if you decide to dine here for Breakfast or Lunch. The restaurant's Cyber Café, separate from the dining area, is also quite popular with the staff/crew from the several Cruise Lines that dock at nearby Port Canaveral.

If there's one thing Mangoni does well, it's committing to a theme and their Star Wars pop-up was…read moreno exception. I've been dying to go to this place for over a year since seeing their Halloween presentation last year in social media reels. From the moment you walk in the entire restaurant transforms into a Galaxy far far away. The decorations, the menu, music and attention to detail make it feel like an experience rather than just a meal. My daughter and I had so much fun exploring everything and taking it all in. We went on the last day of the pop-up so they were out of the Star Wars cups. I definitely have to say I was a little disappointed but that's on me. Now I know for the future go within the first few weeks. The theme drinks were definitely the highlight. They were creative, beautifully presented and fit for the Star Wars by perfectly. They were just as much a part of the experience as the decor itself. My daughter orders the blue raspberry drink with gummies and I ordered the C3PO drink with bourbon St Germain fresh lemon juice, pineapple juice, apple cider, pineapple, sliced cherry and gold leaf. For the food, the pizza is delicious with a great crust and plenty of flavor. My only critique is that the theme simple on top wasn't very recognizable. I couldn't really tell what it was supposed to be. The garlic knots were okay but they didn't stand out compared to the rest of the meal. Mangoni puts A lot of effort into transforming the entire restaurant for each themed event. It's immersive, fun and clear that a lot of thought goes into creating experience that goes beyond the food. If you're a Star Wars band or just enjoy unique themed dining, it's definitely worth checking out. I for sure will be back during their Halloween themed days as well.

I love all things Halloween. Mangoni lacked nothing in the ambiance department. The decorations…read morewere top notch. We did have a mix up for seating to start, though. I booked "standard seating" rather than "outside." We were immediately sat outside. I explained this to the host, and they said this is not the first time someone has explained this to her, so this is something the team at Mangoni needs to work on, especially since people are coming for the ambiance of their holiday pop ups. I was told that the inside was booked, but they were able to accommodate (yet half the tables remained empty inside during our entire visit). Unfortunately, we were sat right where the staff collects the food orders as they are ready, and they were a bit stressed out so as a former server who still has recurring dreams of waiting tables in never ending shifts, this was causing me anxiety. I enjoyed the food overall. We got the special Halloween garlic knots to start. These were a bit too dense for me and too light on the garlic, but the sauce was good. Next came the Mangoni salad and Ghostly Margherita. These were really fresh and delicious. The cocktails are strong so beware. I had ordered the Voodoo Queen. Really fruity and refreshing, though. We were also given the Bite of the Living Bread to go, as they had an extra made in error. Can't comment on it, since I didn't try it yet, and I am not a sausage fan. I do intend to try a bit soon. Both the server and manager commented on how "long" it took to get our pizza, but we didn't feel like we were waiting at all (that's why the extra was given to us besides there being an extra).

Stella's continues to impress with fresh ingredients and absolutely incredible bread. I wasn't sure since it being 2 years since I was here if they would have the breakfast I had last time. I was surprised they did have it so I ordered the Spanish Egg Breakfast, which came with arugula, chorizo, heirloom tomatoes, ciabatta toast, and a preserve. The eggs were perfectly cooked, the chorizo added a great smoky-spicy kick, and the heirloom tomatoes were sweet and juicy. The arugula balanced everything out with a slight peppery bite, and the ciabatta toast was just amazing--crispy on the outside, soft inside, and perfect with the preserve. I also had the Jamón Serrano Sandwich & split it with my bf. It was just as good as it sounds. The jamón serrano, manchego, and basil pesto were a perfect combination--savory, nutty, and herby--all sandwiched between that same incredible ciabatta. Every bite was fresh and flavorful. The atmosphere is cozy, and the service was friendly, though the wait was a little longer than expected. Still, the quality of the food made up for it. Definitely won't wait as long to return next time!

It looks like a store from the outside but I did see someone sitting inside sipping wine so I was intrigued. As you walk in, there is a spacious seating area at the front of the store. Then it kind of transitions into a market store. There is a counter you order food at and pay for items. There is a small bar with seating next to that as well. We browsed the market items and picked up a couple of items. We went to the counter to pay and that is when I realized you can order food and drinks. If you order something that takes time to prepare, it is brought to you at a table. Since I ordered a glass of wine, I just waited there for it and went to sit. Hubs retrieved a beer from the fridge. The owner was the individual we interacted with and he was very pleasant. There was constant traffic the entire time we were there so I hope that means they will remain in business. The prices were not too crazy and it is a perfect place to have a drink and/ or gourmet snacks. I definitely want to return and try other items on the menu.

We were greeted with a beautiful smile and escorted to a private area. The area was elegantly separated from the main dining area with ceiling to floor velvet drapes. The space felt intimate and beautifully prepared for such a large party. Each guest rcvd 2 drink tickets. Each place setting contained prix fixe menu, a glass of water and chilled water in glass bottles for convent refills. Service was top notch. Drink selections were taken immediately after taking a seat. I ordered House Made Lemonade that was perfectly prepared...not too sweet or tart. Once the majority of the guests arrived, each table was served multiple portions of PANE AL FORMAGGIO V & SALUMI & FORMAGGI BOARDS. Both starters were freshly prepared and delicious. Our entree orders were taken as we continued networking & enjoying the starters, followed by a Caesar Salad. For my entree, I chose the CHARGRILLED BRANZINO GF and it exceeded my expectation. The headless whole fish stuff with fresh garlic & capers was served over a large portion of broccolini. The taste was amazing and the portion was generous. I was only able to finish a quarter of my entree but there was no way I was leaving anything behind. Several guests felt the same and also requested to go containers. Hubby and I passed on Tiramisu. We had no room left. Overall this was an amazing dining experience. I applaud the staff for the excellent service they delivered. I hope to visit the next time we're in Orlando.
