Best spaghetti I've ever eaten in my life! Amazing service, wonderful atmosphere. Everything perfect! The only negative point: the calamari was too spicy for us. If it weren't for that, it would be perfect! I got a cannoli as a gift because it was my birthday. They were very affectionate! I love it.
What a great experience! We came for a working dinner, but everything was fantastic. I didn't take pictures many pictures because the conversation was so good, but I did manage to get one of the dark chocolate flowerless pistachio torte. I will say, as someone who sang opera for 15 years... the singing inside the restaurant was too much. We had to stop our conversation multiple times until they finished. Lovely, but better for areas where the sound can travel out and away.
Cozy old school American Italian cuisine. Very generous portions. Food is rich and heavy hence the American Italian notation. Service is good and respectful. If you are lucky you will get to hear songs and music. You might even see Mama Della.

We went last night.
Service was first class the waitress so attentive.
Good hearty Italian food but I felt for me the portion sizes a bit too much but I'm from UK and we are used to less.
The calamari was light and crispy with a hint of heat to it and it was incredible the best calamari I've ever had.
I'd definitely visit again but not eat prior in preparation.
The singers where fantastic too.
Junior, was absolutely amazing! Great service! Warm, cozy setting in the dining room. Food was very good and large portions! Flourless torte is amazing! The table side music was great! Would definitely recommend!
What a great place! The decor is so traditional and cosy, we loved it. Thank you Maria our waitress for the excellent suggestions and wine recommendations 🥰
We took risotto and lasagna (with extra parmesan on the side 😉💛)
There is also a group of singers but like super talented with soprano voice, wow.
Definitely recommend this place. Excellent cuisine

Absolutely loved the place! Took the water shuttle from City Walk and it was the best dining experience of our trip. From the friendly staff to the delicious food it was just a great time. Throw in some live music as they walked around singing to your table taking your requests to the good prices (especially for Universal Resort), you just can't have a better dining experience.
The pasta tasted home made, bread tasted like it was right out of the oven, the sauce was more savory and not horribly sweet like most places, and the chicken was just a perfect balance of breading/cheese/sauce.
I can't recommend the place enough. If/when we come back to the area we will go out of our way to make it back. Just felt like an old school family run restaurant focusing on good food and good times. Even sitting outside by the water waiting to go in made you perfectly fine with a little wait.
you need to go, you wont regret it, especially if you are staying in/around universal. Everything just feels like a tourist trap money grab. This honestly felt so out of place in how authentic it felt.
This may have been the best dining experience I have ever had! When we walked in, we were immediately greeted by many staff members, and they even brought us extra chairs for the huge stuffed animals my kids won from Universal. They brought out a large basket of different types of breads, which was golden, considering all of my three kids were starving. Our waitress, Lindsey, may have been the best server we have ever had. The food came out super quickly, and not to mention, it was DELICIOUS! She even brought out a birthday dessert for my daughter and I. We were also serenaded by a trio of singers at our table, which made for an even better experience for my kids and I. when I'm in the area again, I would definitely come back here!

We came for a date night and from when we first sat down up until we left this was by far the BEST restaurant experience I’ve had EVER and I have worked in the food industry for years. I have been wanting to go here since I worked for Lowe’s back in 2015 at a sister property. I’m thankful that it didn’t happen until now so that I could truly enjoy everything like I did last night! I’ll be honest from the water lol to the food everything was on point. Server was GREAT he knew his food pairings with the wine and gave us really great recommendations while still being so attentive to us. The wine selection is impeccable from my experience we got a bottle and it went with everything we ate it’s a MUST try! Calamari was the best we had ever had and we eat a lot of calamari, it was so good they just melted in your mouth! They chose really great dishes to feature if you are doing Magical Dining. Food was nothing less than mouth watering. Hats off to the chef!!! The Gelato was like no other. To end the night we got a cappuccino and got to meet Mama Della herself, such a beautiful soul. We will be back sooner than expected after telling everyone about our amazing experience!

I avoid arriving at a restaurant at almost closing time because service might not be 100% and some items from the menu may not be available. This was not the case here at all. The food was excellent as well as the staff. We even got our own Soprano show table-side. They come to your table and ask if you want a specific song. I wasn't prepared for this so my request was probably the first Italian song that comes to most people's mind "Con te Partiró". The lady executed it perfectly 🥰. If you have a chance please visit this restaurant, we had and amazing experience. 👏 Everthing that we ordered was delicious, the Chicken Carbonara was my personal favorite.
