Three of us visited last night for dinner. We started with the beef caparccio which would have to be one the tastiest and well presented ones that I have eaten. This was followed by the lamb cutlets which was full of flavor and beet tender. It was served with creamy mashed potato and asparagus. Delicious. We followed this by sharing a Tiramisu which was light and fluffy and the perfect way to finish a fabulous meal. We will definitely go again as it never disappoints.

Service started out good. The burrata appetizer was nice. The veal parmigiana was a frozen patty not veal cutlet. It was barely warm in the middle and the cheese was not melted. The server took it back and they microwaved it. The cheese still didn’t melt. They did not apologize or offer an alternative. The restaurant was empty when we walked in and only one other table was seated the whole time we were there. I guess that should have been a clue.

Service a bit off this time. Waitress neglected to bring drinks and wine until we were halfway through dinner, and then only after we asked. But the food was, as always, outstanding. Chock the up to an off night for the servers, so we will be back the next time in Orlando.

Our server Carmelo was outstanding as always. He has been there for years. The pasta fagioli soup was 9.5 crusty bread served. You want authentic Italian you have it here. The special was short rib ravioli OMG!!! Not to rich with big pieces of extra short rib added. The touch of Marcella wine completes it. The wine was a perfect match thx to Carmelo. The desert lemon cello cream cake and ricotta cheesecake. Just go here please. I rarely grade I’ve 8.5. And a 10 would be life changing. So my highest would be 9.5

First time for us at the Resturant for Magical Dinning our appetizer ‘s were delicious the main course was good I had the Vitello Piccata the sauce was delicious as were the artichoke’s, spinach and mashed potatoes the veal was over cooked which made it hard to cut and chew. My husband had the Sachetti Al Filetto the pasta was delicious as was the parmigiano sauce again the filet mignon tips were over cooked.The dessert’s were wonderful. We will be back to try other meals and if we order a meat dish we will mention we would like it not over cooked. Overall it was a good meal you will enjoy yourself.

We were very disappointed overall. Based on other reviews, they raved over the homemade pasta & service. The experience was about under Olive Garden level made dishes. Our reservations @7:30 on Fridaynight, the restaurant was not busy. I got my salad and then my main entree dish came a few minutes later. I odered lasagna that seemed like it was microwaved, not baked. The fettuccine dishes with chicken that others in our party had, they said the chicken was dry. The dishes didn't arrive at the same time. One of us ordered Ceasars salad with checken. They waited about other 10 mins after the rest of us received our meals.
