Do not complain here!. I had been to the resaurant several years ago and was impressed. Working with Italians it is important to find good Italian food. There is an arguemnt that soem fo the best Italian Restaurants can be found outside of Italy. This is not one of them.

We visited with reservations for one of the private rooms (group of 10) with 6 of the individuals that live in Italy. Granted they are passionate about food and perhaps overly critical at times. The appetizers were fine and service was acceptable. We had ordered several pasta dishes family style which most were mush and unedible. It was requested that the dishes be taken off of the bill and things went downhill from there.

Being charged a minimum for the room we ordered desert and several more bottles of wine.I did learn that you never never order the same desert dish as the individual who complains. The 3 of us who did became ill and I will let you surmise the reason. Much more than a coincidence and frankly a very insulting and imature response. With this attitude its doubtful they will survive the economic storm coming.

I would definately not recommend this restaurant to anyone serious about fine dining. As a resident of Orlando it was an embarassment. For your average tourist it may be acceptable but I can assure you they will recieve a thumbs down from me if ever asked.
