A word from La Luce
Famed Napa Valley restaurateur Donna Scala has created one of Orlando’s hottest new restaurants with La Luce®, serving Italian favorites -- including homemade pasta, flatbread pizzas and dreamy regional specialties -- all inspired by traditional family recipes that have been perfected through the… generations.



Orlando magazine food critic Joseph Hayes said La Luce (pronounced lah-looch-ay) has placed the hotel on “Orlando’s culinary map,” proclaiming it one of the city’s best new restaurants. And his enthusiasm didn’t center solely on its “tasty and quirky” (his words) regional Italian fare, either. He was equally impressed with the service: “it’s as crisp as the bed linens in the hotel upstairs,” he raved. Continued

Diner Reviews
  • "My wife and I had a very nice dinner at La Luce. I was at first put off when we arrived and I realized it was a hotel restaurant, but we went in, were greeted promptly and warmly, and led to a nice table. The service was very, very good. The waiter was knowledgeable about the wine list, made intelligent suggestions about entrees, and was very pleasant. She had the tiger shrimp special and I had the snapper special. Both were very good. I don't see us traveling that way again soon, but we are glad we found La Luce on Open Table."

  • "Simply great Italian and continental cuisine!! This restaurant is a MUST visit if you are staying at the Hilton Bonnett Creek or is certainly worth a special trip. You will not be disappointed. We dined there 3 of 4 nights and would have dined all 4 nights if we didn't have a character dinner booked at Disney. Every dish impressed including the pasta and meatballs(the best meatballs I've had and I'm from an Italian background), pork chop, steak, gnocchi, snapper, pizza, calamari and all the salads. The service matched the food. All in all you'd be hard pressed to find better food anywhere."

  • "A hidden gem in the maze of Orlando dining options...La Luce is the perfect Resturant to relax and enjoy an exceptional meal with friends, family & colleagues! Beautiful decor and ambiance packaged with great wine and the best selection of Italian dishes bar none!"

  • "My wife and I found La Luce during a brief trip to Orlando. We enjoyed outdoor dining on a perfect evening with excellent food (cannot endorse the pizza enough) and a great wine selection (a nice Orvietto). The only negative was the service, which started out well, but decayed as the evening continued. Our waiter would disappear for exceptionally long stretches. While this didn't matter during dinner, it did when we wanted dessert, and it really did when out desserts finally arrived and, by their appearance, had been sitting for some period of time (still exceptional, though). I had to seek out our waiter once and had to ask the assistance of another waiter on two other occasions."

  • "If you are vacationing in Orlando with the whole family, find a sitter and leave the kids at the hotel... I began my La Luce experience with the "Fritto Misto": calamari & rock shrimp, with greens beans, served with a spicy aioli. Great wine list though I chose to wash this appetizer down with the "Swamp Ape IPA" from the Florida Brewing Company. A healthy double IPA, if you like that sort of thing - intensely "hoppy" and bitter. Next was the "Risotto del Giorno" - made with sea scallops. Amazing! No room left for dessert, so I ended with a nice pour of Cynar. I absolutely love this artichoke-infused digestif! I had a very enjoyable time. You will too!"

  • "been here least 5-6 times in the last 2yrs. The food was as usual very good. Service is typically slow and was a bit slower and more detached this time. The waiter showed up twice during the meal. He was rushed and pushy. Asst waiter did a fair job but I was completely turned off by the fact the waiter never suggested a wine, never mentioned specials. Last time we were there the manager had my kids setup their pizza - add sauce, cheese etc. I had no plans to have them do this again but when my son asked the waiter if he could make his pizza he rudely said "you're not going to do that today". You will spend $50-60 per person (salad+entree+desert) before wine - the level of service did not measure up to this"

  • "Everything was amazing. The pizza we had as an appetizer was possibly the best we have ever had in Florida."
    Dined on 2/18/2014
  • "with La Luce, though our first complaint. Food - Outstanding as always. Service - Impeccable. Atmosphere - Awful due to the number of "unruly" children though out the restaurant. Our reservations were for 9:15pm, and noting the amount of misbehaving children (and parents) in the hotel, we thought the later time for dinner might help. This was an anniversary dinner celebration for two. We sat at the bar with 12 year olds, dress code obviously lacking, and endured bread baskets on heads and drumming with forks through-out dinner. Not exactly what we'd hoped for at La Luce nor what we are accustomed to. We hope this information will encourage management at La Luce and Bonnet Creek to re-think their standards. Thank you!"

  • "We were hoping for a subdues, romantic, quality dinner - so we chose La Luce, having always had great experiences there. Valentine's was no exception. We got our favorite booth, which we had requested in advance, we weren't rushed; the food was excellent - particularly the Asparagus Saltimboca. The duck ragu was awesome, and they gladly substituted pappardelle for the garganelli. The waitstaff is always accommodating and very professional. Overall, the perfect evening!"
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "La Luce is a staple - food, service, and atmosphere are consistently excellent. What's even better is that there are always new, featured specials as well as the classics. Lobster Risotto was excellent."

  • "To be brief, apps, wine, entrees, and dessert all exceeded expectations. Don't miss the fried olives. Service was perfect."
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "My husband and I had a delicious dinner at La Luce. Stephan was a very attentive and responsive waiter. We had great martinis accompanied by fried olives and Marconi almonds. We enjoyed the beet salad and tricolore salads very much, but our entrees - lobster risotto for him and goat cheese heart shaped ravioli with an herbed butter sauce for me were the best. Absolutely delicious and decadent, yet somehow still delicate and light. We were so surprised by this Hilton hotel gem last year, and were happy to return again. Highly recommend."
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "I had dinner at this place and I must say that the food and the service was impeccable. I cannot thank my waiter- Joseph who went above and beyond his capacity to get me some information. They are open late into the night and if you are looking for great food then definitely try La Luce. I know I am going back for more delicious food and great time."
    Dined on 2/13/2014
  • "It was very nice. The wine list was extensive but the brick oven was fantastic and we got a birthday desert tiramasu and it was to die for!!"

  • "Our group consisting of four adults, a two year old and a 5 month old, we're in Orlando on business looking for a great restaurant. We found it. The food was absolutely superb. Not one of us didn't enjoy our meal enthusiastically. Our server Joe went over the top to meet our needs and was very accomodating. He made sure we were comfortable and felt at home despite being in a more elegant restaurant with small children. When I couldn't find a cocktail on the menu I liked he helped me make one up and had great suggestions for all of us. We'll definitely be back when we're down for our next seminar. Ps the beet salad, lamb meatballs and salmon are all amazing."

  • "We went here because we were tired after a day in orlando and the restaurant was in the hilton bonnet creed hotel where we were staying. The food was good, nothing out of this world. The service was also good. There is no kids menu per se, just a few "for the bambino" pizza options within the main menu, a little unusual for a hotel in orlando that caters to people going to Disney. I have no specific complaints but there are many other good restaurants in the area that I would probably go to before this one."
    Dined on 12/28/2013
  • "Fabulous food and service. We chose this restaurant because it was one of few open on Christmas Day that didn't have $60 plus required buffet. We were surprised at the high quality of the food and everything else about our experience. If we ever return to Orlando, we will make sure to eat here again."
    Dined on 12/25/2013
  • "I was there on Christmas Eve with two small daughters and the service was outstanding. The food is worth every dollar and wine selection is very good. Recommend it for everyone looking for a special occasion or just tired of the theme parks "food"."

  • "Fantastic atmosphere w modern cozy feel however food disappointed this trip. Eaten here before and thought much better then. Ordered bolognese, good flavor but too salty (and I typically enjoy salt on my food). Husband ordered pappardelle w rabbit ragu. Strange flavor/herbs used and not represented well on menu. Herbs used in dish didn't pair well w entree. Desserts amazing - chocolate flourless cake fantastic w coconut gelato and butterscotch pudding good too. Our waiter not very attentive so feel much room for improvement on various aspects."

  • "Food, staff, and ambience were all great! Italian food at its best. Would definitely seek it out again if I am in Orlando again."
    Dined on 12/9/2013
  • "Decent Dinner overall. The timeliness of the service left much to be desired. My Fiancé and I had a reservation @ 7pm and we didn't leave till 9:30. No reason why a 2 person dinner should take 2.5 hours. Our server disappeared for long periods of time and on many occasion I would have to track him down to get what I needed. being in the hospitality industry I have a high tolerance for defects in service. I understand that sometimes things do happen, however, this particular instance had me biting my tongue on more than one occasion. Otherwise, food was pretty good, Restaurant was clean and had a nice atmosphere."
    Dined on 12/11/2013
  • "We are spoiled diners having so many great restaurants in NYC. Maybe the expectation was too high. Risotto was mediocre at best and my fish was over cooked. Potatoe had very little seasoning and salad too much lemon juice. Ravioli too had no seasoning. One thing that was decent was the pizza ode ate. Server was friendly but brought out wrong wine (more expensive one, 3X the price) and insisted she was correct."

  • "We had a large group, but our table was ready and the staff was immediately attentive. The staff was very informative and provided excellent suggestions for wine and dishes. We had an excellent meal. I would definitely come back the next time I stay at the Hilton."

  • "Will use the same review for both of my visits -- 2 consecutive nights, was staying at the hotel. So, it's in a hotel, but don't let that stop you: they're not just playing it safe and sticking with the classics, on the contrary. Elegant ambiance (not that I *really* care about that), excellent service. Had the lamb meatballs on my first visit. First off, great idea; second, they were delicious, including the white bean ragu (no pasta here, again with having some balls). On my second visit, had the lobster risotto special, and WOW! Best risotto I've had (among many), and not just because of the lobster -- there was a lot of depth and complexity of flavor there. Still other dishes I would've happily tried. Highly, highly recommend!"

  • "We eat here two nights in a row. First night was perfection -- we did however eat early around 5:30 pm & delightful table overlooking the swimming pool on the veranda. Apple butter salad and two bolognaises with glass of red win each. Delicious !! charming attentive waiter -back second night and not quite as outstanding still very good tho We had 7 pm reservations and restaurant was more crowded/actually full by 7:30. Waiter not as attentive- almost slammed by the crowd(not enough waiters?)-- he was nice tho. We had to wait on second glass of wine longer than one should. I had the pasta with rabbit -- not a good choice / do NOT recommend + my husbands lamb 'meatballs' with Tuscan beans were just average. Would go again."

  • "Friendly and attentive staff. Drinks at the bar and then on to a table on the second floor patio. Special evening menu. I ordered Winter Squash Soup and Beet Salad topped with roquefort vinaigrette. My spouse ordered Caesar Salad and Salmon Filet topped with tomato chive butter sauce. Butterscotch Pudding with a square of house-made salted toffee and Tiramisu. Evoked fond memories of a week in Tuscany."
