La LuceYes Italian...but come for the fishThe food here was so good that we came back the second night in row. The first night I took a chance on the grouper...at an Italian place...I could not have made a better choice....WOW. While everything was wonderful...it was the fish that made us come back. We had the spicy shrimp pizza, the risotto, the meatballs and a couple of appetizers...not a bad thing in the bunch. The wait staff was very prompt, not pushy, not overbearing, and made for a very wonderful meal. The manager was very attentive and remembered us the following night when we came in....wonderful attention to detail.6/6/2013 12:00:00 AMThis restaurant provides atmosphereThis restaurant provides atmosphere of casual elegance with outstanding food & service.6/1/2013 12:00:00 AMAwesome gem in Disney areaMy wife and I ate twice here in under a week for dinner. Food was well seasoned, tasty and well prepared. Both of our dishes were pasta types, and done properly. We did not try the meat or fish dishes. Very kid friendly. It is located within the Hilton Hotel on Chelonia parkway and easy to get to, particularly if you are trying to fight the crowds at downtown disney. Wine list was extensive. I can easily recommend the food and ambience.5/27/2013 12:00:00 AMExceptional Food and ServiceFrom the wine to the outstanding dessert (Tiramisu was the best we've ever had), our dining experience was five star! We think what topped the bar was our waiter! He was very knowlegable about the food, the restaurant, the area, etc., and was extremely friendly! We really enjoyed his company and his exceptional service which added to our dining experience. Thank you!5/27/2013 12:00:00 AMas good as expectedVery good quality food served.

Highly recommend it.5/2/2013 12:00:00 AMGood food and excellent service.Good food and excellent service. Unfortunately, the most notable event of the night was that one of my companions left his credit card at the restaurant. However, before we were back to our hotel the restaurant called my cell phone to notify me so we were able to return only minutes later to retrieve it. Potential disaster was averted by friendly and thoughtful service on the part of the establishment.4/26/2013 12:00:00 AMTop Italian experience fromTop Italian experience from the food to waiter. The ricotta gnocchi were superb - light and tender. Others in our party had the porcini dusted ribeye, pork chop and roasted cauliflower pasta. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the meal and the service was top notch. Don't miss this one!4/23/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat Find!We found this restaurant in one of our magazines that we get in our newspaper.

Great table near the window overlooking the pool and golf course. Was able to see the sun set. Food was superb. Service was attentive but not crowding.

I will return when back in Orlando.4/17/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat place amazing foodRepeat visit to La Luce was even better than our first. Great menu, service, and food... The half bottle of Opus was the highlight of the evening. Highly recommend!4/14/2013 12:00:00 AMgood...not wonderfulthe food is solid. the place has good energy. The only pasta made in house is ravioli which I enjoyed despite the large amount of tomato sauce it was bathed in. I would have preferred less to really savor the ricotta/pesto filling.4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMOutstanding on all fronts2nd visit to this restaurant and looking forward to our next opportunity. Friendly & warm staff across the board, outstanding food and service - a strong recommend!4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMAmazing, amazing, amazing.If you want fresh, hand-made pasta made with TLC and exquisite flavors, do not miss this. The fresh-fired pizzas are also incredible. The fettuccine with sausage ragu, the handmade ravioli with a side of meatballs, the fresh caprese salad made with local heirloom tomatoes and superior mozzarella ... I could go on and on. We're ecstatic to have found outstanding Italian so close to Disney. We will be dining here A LOT. There's just no comparison. It's the best Italian in the area. Amazing place, amazing service, but most of all, amazing food.4/9/2013 12:00:00 AMWe have gone to this restaurantWe have gone to this restaurant several times when we stay in the orlando area.

We all were surprised by the level of service and food. Recommend to anyone who wants to have a memorable dining experience.3/29/2013 12:00:00 AMWe love La Luce. We firstWe love La Luce. We first tried it a year ago when we stayed at the Hilton Bonnet Creek. We liked it so much we went twice for dinner during our stay. This year we stayed across the street, but made dinner reservations one night, and requested outside seating, which is so relaxing and comfortable. Our daughters love the bench seating with all the pillows. We again had such a pleasant experience we went back the next night and requested the same table. They have pasta and pizza for the younger children, so everyone is happy. And the timing/spacing of the meal is very relaxed, we never felt rushed, which we loved!3/29/2013 12:00:00 AMNice location within a ratherNice location within a rather busy hotel. Large bright spaces with plenty of room for a feeling of privacy. The fried olives and marcona almonds were beyond a delicious dish!

Excellent wine recommendation, delicious food and a beautiful setting - only reminder that you're close to Disney are the half asleep children forced to the dinner table by their weary parents! Don't miss the carpaccio, caesar salad, the mushroom pasta and the lamb shanks when available. Will always make a stop at La Luce when in the area.1/1/0001 4:00:00 PM
