Enjoyed an evening with my mother in law and Fíance, very beautiful location, food was delicious. Only thing that was an irk was the lack of fountain soda. The only options being can or glass. I didn’t ask, but I would assume refills are not free. I understand it is restaurant choice, and just wish it was clearly listed in the menu (menu lists fountain). Otherwise, wonderful meal, service, and ambience. We will definitely be back.

About the restaurant

Enzo's on the Lake is the perfect place for an evening of cocktails, fine food and wine, delicious desserts and very special hospitality. In 1980, Enzo's on the Lake opened as a lovely secluded lakefront restaurant, built in the style of an Italian villa. The restaurant is dedicated to the idea of simple yet sophisticated cuisine: family owned, crafted with love. The freshest fish, meats, fruits and vegetables that can be obtained are woven into a menu that emphasizes a unique culinary heritage. An antipasto bar welcomes you to the excitement of the dining room overlooking the lake. There is a full service european style bar, private dining areas for meetings and parties, and lakeside gardens and dock. We look forward to serving you!

The very best Italian in Orlando!!!! The pasta is always fresh, the sauces are tasty, and the tiramisu is light and fluffy. Last night we tried the Tuscan cutting board for the first time and it was delicious. Don’t skip the eggplant caponata- YUM! Incredible imported Italian wine you can’t buy anywhere else stateside completes this authentic dining experience. Tatiana always serves with a smile and has great recommendations for whatever you’re in the mood for! I can’t wait to check out their next regional tasting menu as well :) You will feel like you’re sitting in a piazza in Rome, with the best ambience and experience from start to finish of your meal!

We sat at 630 pm. On a Friday. Was busy and loud but by 7pm a lot of people left, guess that was a happy hour. Much quieter. Server was good, food tasty and good portions. Our first time there and will return. Costco sells gift cards at about 20% off retail just FYI.

About the restaurant

There are two cardinal rules of Italian cuisine – eat locally and eat seasonally. Food is part of the rhythm of life, and so Italians eagerly await the arrival of seasonal ingredients from mushrooms in the fall to wild strawberries in the spring. We at Cafe Murano bring these themes from Italy to you. Our food is carefully created using the freshest ingredients made from scratch.
