The Scene
A stone wall separates the 1930s Spanish-style hacienda from the surrounding industrial sites, sheltering this quaint, family-run restaurant known for its authentic Italian food. The house is filled with tile floors, so the noise level can get a little high, especially with parties taking advantage of the full bar.
The Food
Sample the house specialty, bucatini ala Enzo--fresh, homemade pasta cooked al dente and smothered in a robust sauce of mushrooms, prosciutto, bacon and peas. Fish lovers will appreciate the fresh sole imported from France and sauteed in a light mixture of olive oil and lemon. Another outstanding entree is vitello alla Veneziana--veal tenderloin medallions, lightly floured, cooked in olive oil with caramelized onions and splashed with a dash of cognac. End your meal with the zucotto rum cake, filled with kiwi and strawberry, or the creme brulee.

I have driven by Enzos for years and had heard great things about it. You can see Enzo's(the privacy wall anyways) on your left as you travel up 17-92 (just past Dog Track Road) in Longwood. Well a few months ago my girlfriend Amanda and I went for dinner. From the moment we walked through the door we were engulfed in a warm, slight casual, romantic, family-like atmosphere. We stopped shortly at the cozy little bar in the front nook of the restauraunt for a pre-dinner drink. The bartender was so friendly, respectful and inviting. Walking to our table, the decor seemed direct from "old Italy" including a huge wheel of parmigian (over 100 lbs) near the front door. From our greeter to our exceptional server and service it felt like a vacation for a night. The only thing missing was a foot massage.haha. Our server(I think his name was Brandon) was like an old friend tending to our every need at just the right moment. We ordered a bottle of Penfolds and then some Carpaccio, Antipasti, Shitaki and even a Caeser Salad for starters and were utterly amazed by every exquisite bite. There couldn't have been a better way to prepare us for our entrees which included Fettucine Al' Aragosta E Gamberi(mine) with fettucine al dente in a light, silky, mouthwatering sauce with most generous portions of plump shrimp and lobster. Each bite was pure bliss. Amanda ordered the Abbacchio Del Duca which is a lamb-rack cooked to absolute perfection filled with shitake mushrooms and other delicious fresh herbs. Every succulent bite was extraordinary and the presentation was remarkable to say the least. Words truly cannot express how amazing our dining experience was. Our tab came to around $300.00 with tip but a couple could easily dine for around $125-150(w/tip). Yes, it is no cheap fare but once you are swept away in the experience(which is immediate) that is Enzo's on The Lake your cares and the world surrounding you simply melt away much like every luscious morsel melts in your mouth.

This cozy villa restaurant is nestled off of SR 17-92 on the shores of Fairy Lake. A beautiful and romantic setting! The food and the service are unmatched in the Orlando area. They offer a simple and delicious menu of courses and an extensive wine list--- all authentically Italian. The prices are steep, but for a special occasion or celebration, it's always my first pick!
