Enzo's on the Lake

Overall, it was a solid experience. The food was good for the price point, and everything tasted fresh and house-made. Our server, Susan, did a great job—especially impressive given that it was New Year’s Eve and the restaurant was packed and very busy. We waited about 15 minutes past our reservation time, which felt reasonable for the night. If you enjoy wine, their selection is excellent and very fairly priced. Not a standout meal, but definitely a good, dependable choice.

My wife and I went to Enzo’s to celebrate our anniversary, and it was a perfect choice. From start to finish, the service and food were top-notch. My wife ordered the Dover sole, which was expertly deboned at the table — watching the waiter work was like watching an artist in action. I chose the braised beef, and it was phenomenal — tender, flavorful, and falling right off the bone. It was a terrific evening at a truly wonderful restaurant.

A really pretty location with some authentic Italian food (which is really difficult to find in parts of Orlando). We went for magical dining and had a great time. Nice view of the lake and there even was an impromptu marriage proposal while we were there. Will be a staple for us when we crave real Italian food.

I really wanted to love Enzo’s like so many others do but it was overall disappointing. Let me start by giving credit to the great ambiance, the beautiful view by the lake, the warm reception, good vibes and even better service. That all matters too and Enzo’s doesn’t drop the ball there. We were only disappointed by the food. My Alfredo pasta was good not great or bad just good enough. It wouldn’t be a big deal if it wasn’t for the high price I paid for just a good dish. My Alfredo pasta dish lacked flavor unfortunately, my brother makes it better tbh. When you pay this kind of price, you’re expecting greatness and I just didn’t taste it. Your staff is very attentive and helpful though seriously. Very sharp crew, just wish we had a better experience with the food.

Outstanding! There are many Italian restaurants in Central Florida, but most fall short, while Enzo's shines. The ambience is spot on, and just about every table has a great view. Rudy delivered the gold standard of service, locking in a perfect all around 5 star rating. This place is an absolute gem.

This was my first time at Enzo‘s and was not disappointed. Staff was very friendly service was incredible and the event ABBA under the stars was absolutely incredible. The lead singer absolutely blew my father and I away. The band sounded amazing as well. Please continue to book live musicians. it was an incredible show and overall fantastic night! Will definitely be back.

Years ago, I used to work close to Enzo's on the Lake and would drive past it all the time. It's a very unassuming place that you'd never know was there. One day I googled it and was surprised what I discovered. A beautiful upscale lake house / Italian restaurant with an indoor and outdoor bar overlooking Fairy Lake! Well, that day finally arrived. To celebrate our nuptials, I decided this was the perfect opportunity! I made a reservation online a week prior using 'Open Table" and was only able to get a 5:15pm rsvp. My advice would be to RSVP well in advanced because the place isn't large and tables fill up very quickly. We arrived about 10 minutes early but we were not immediately seated. They seem to be very methodical here. They also have self-parking and complementary valet. Enzo's is very beautiful and well-maintained inside and out. Our waiter, Ernesto, was very polite and attentive. The entire staff was nice and welcoming. To our surprise the Magical Dining promo was still in effect, so we were able to order from the pre-fix menu which included an appetizer, main course, and desert for $60/each. We both ordered the Bruschetta al Pomodoro, which was good. My wife ordered the Filetto con Formaggio and I ordered the Braciole Di Maiale Alla Saltimbocca. Everything was excellent! For desert, she ordered the Tiramisu and I ordered the Zuccotto (Italian wedding cake). I feel the star of the show was the back area, which was meticulously manicured with a stunning view of Fairy Lake. The sunset was magical and capped off our wonderful evening of celebration. There was also live music which added to the already incredible ambiance.

We went there for dinner for our first wedding anniversary and we had the most wonderful experience. The service, the food, the atmosphere. It was nothing but amazing. The pasta was delicious, the drinks were strong but very tasty, the view was gorgeous, and the service stellar! I would 100% recommend this place

We celebrated my MILs bday here, which was right in the middle of Magic Dining. The menu is phenomenal, the food delicious and the service top notch. I love the ambiance and decor as well. It's on the pricey side so if you can, wait for magic dining to come around and try it. The view to the lake is beautiful and it's also perfect for a romantic occasion. Quick edit to let everyone know that they bring AMAZING Italian cookies at the end of the meal.

Complimentary valet to start, so make sure to have some cash to tip. They started us off with warm bread and breadsticks with butter. We asked for another basket because it was so good to eat with the meal. We tried: Two specials: the stuffed filet with blueberry and spinach served with mashed potatoes and a black truffle sauce and the Chilean seabass with polenta. Both were fantastic, and my favorite dishes of the meal. The fettucine with shrimp and lobster is a staple here, so got 2 dishes to share with the table. The shrimp was just slightly bland to me. The sauce was great to dip the bread into. The bucatini was also good as well as the veal scallopini which had a lemon fruity sauce to it. The Cab Sauv (Roth from Sonoma) was very good, very fruit-forward, almost sweet. The Chianti was also delicious, more balanced dryness. We came here to celebrate my birthday and they gave us a complimentary slice of cake! There was also some Italian cookies that usually comes with each meal - gingerbread sugar cookies and a lemon powdered sugar one.

I would love to do a 3.5 to a 4 for this one ! We went for my birthday dinner and I hadn't been to Enzo's since 2022. The service was great everyone was really really nice and obviously the view is OUTSTANDING. We went outside after the meal and drank our wine by the water and listened to the live entertainer playing guitar. I also didn't know, but they have a new outdoor casual bar outside on the water which I will return to soon! The soup was the best party of our meal and we tried the special which was pasta de carne type. It was just okay. Like I said the soup was better . But I think the trend with most places is that the quality has gone down and prices continue to go up.

Enzo's on the Lake was nothing short of amazing for our family. We reserved a table a week in advance, but would have had no issue getting a table at 5:30pm on a Wednesday. For an appetizer, we all enjoyed the soup of the day which was some sort of mushroom. We all enjoyed our pasta dishes as well. The service was great and the restaurant is adorable. The view of Lake Fairy is priceless. Looks like they have a really nice backyard area as well. We will be back!

I'm rating this review somewhere between 3.0 to 3.5. Read on to know why. Enzos on the Lake! A classic Italian restaurant in terms of the vibe and setting (the restaurant is out of an old house that sits on lake fairy in Longwood and the menu has mainly traditional classic items). I had the opportunity to eat here twice in one week (Wednesday and Saturday) so I'll blend parts of both into this narrative! Both visits I was sat by the windows that overlook the backyard of this house. There is outside casual seating with live music (certain days) with the lake and sunset views just behind. I don't believe full service is offered outside. On the Saturday visit I requested a window seat and it appears the note I made on my reservation wasn't there anymore so we had to wait a little longer which was no big deal. Inside immediately to the left after the front door is a small bar area that you can walk up to and order a beverage that also provides drinks to the staff to take to tables. There is a small area to hang out but if you have time, I'd try and go wait outside in the backyard area. Side note: their Enzo's Old Fashioned is $25 and the only spin is they put in some Disarrano! Get any other drink and save yourself $10. Both times we were greeted by older servers that seemed both experienced and with the company for many years! We ordered a few appetizers that were ok (I've had better caprese and burrata) the tomatoes on the caprese were ok. We opted for the beef filet which was cooked well but not an impressive cut or large portion for $51 which comes with a few potatoes and broccolini. My other visit I had the mixed grill special which was underwhelming in portion (around 1-2 bites for each item) and the flavors were adequate. We of course went with the Enzo's cheesecake which was surprisingly not overly sugary and was softer cheesecake which on this visit was welcomed. All in all this was noticably a much more expensive experience compared, to say, another lakeside restaurant like Hillstone. I think Enzo's misses out on almost every comparison (views, style of restaurant, quality of food, price to value) unless Italian food is your defining factor in which venue to select. Enzos sold sometime in the last year or two and my guess is new owners have slowly increased cost. Check out Luca Turci, Romes Flavors, or even Prato instead.

We've been to Enzo's many times over the years and we like to save it for a special occasions. It's a charming, old house on the lake with beautiful views and rich Mediterranean vibes inside. In the evenings, the place does get a bit cramped and fairly loud, so be mindful of that. The food is good, though it's fairly traditional. Service was a little slow, but I think they have have been understaffed a bit, or maybe they had some new folks working this past year. In case you're looking for a quiet date night I might not recommend this for something quiet, but might be better for groups or celebrations. But they do have various rooms that have different styles, and even just opened up a new bar area that looks really nice. We definitely want to come back and check that out some time.

This was my first time at Enzo's on the Lake. I heard really great things about this restaurant. The atmosphere was the best thing about this restaurant. It's aged and on the water. The ceasar salads had a ton of dressing but tasted good. The carbonara tasted like pancetta. Would probably recommend something different. The fettuccini was great. The halibut was also nice, perhaps a little over cooked. The desserts were also nice. The service was nice. Brandon was very accommodating. Would I return? Maybe if it wasn't an hour long drive for us. We will likely not return but had a nice experience.

Such a cute and charming spot--perfect for a special occasion. We came here for Mother's Day and absolutely loved it. The restaurant is set in a former residence turned into a cozy, authentic Italian restaurant back in the 1980s, I believe! The Ravioli Della Casa which was stuffed with ricotta, chicken, and spinach was TOO good. Truly chef's kiss! I ended on a sweet note with the salted caramel gelato, which was the perfect finish. Overall great service and awesome vibe!

I admired the homey, family, vintage atmosphere. We had a lovely view of the lake. Service was great! Our server was so kind and he even got us some extra sweets since we were celebrating our anniversary! The seafood soup was so flavorful. The penne with vodka sauce was so creamy. The lamb chops were cooked perfectly. We had a great experience.

I'm from central Florida and this was my first visit to Enzo's. Do not be like me and let the outside/location fool you! They were packed on a Friday night. We had reservations, which I highly recommend. There is a bar in the front that you can order from while waiting to be sat. Our server suggestions was incredible and made sure we had the best night. We were all blown away by the food! Our table ordered the lamb, the carbonara, steaks and a vegetarian dish. For dessert we had gelato. Everything was amazing. I can't say enough good things about our experience except that we are looking forward to the next one

I was surprised at how bad it was here. I had heard good things about Enzo's. Let me start by saying that my servers Caitlyn and Zaniel were excellent. Were were a table of two. It was not busy. We ordered two pasta dishes. I had the Ravioli and my son had the rigatoni. We added chicken to that order. It took over an hour to get our food. The kitchen forgot the chicken. I called the server over and she said she could get a rush on the chicken. We said no because it took so long. It was two hours total here. All of that was waiting. Instead of comping our meal we were charged. It's really sad that management didn't step in this situation. Unfortunately, the food was average at best. Not worth the money. The view is okay, but not worth the disappointment. Parking is valet only. That would be good information to know before you go because most people do not carry cash anymore. I will not be back and I strongly recommend you look for another restaurant.

Food is delicious. Service wonderful and Ambiance lovely. Located on the lake with views of the water . Truly homemade pasta

Excellent appetizers, salads and dinner choices. Try the Steak with arugula and peas, veal piccata, and Italian wedding cake.

Went here for my best friends bday and to celebrate new years. She had been talking about going here for some time now. We were running late for our reservation and I called and they were very accommodating in moving it for a little bit later. Once we got seated the service was very good and waiter was very personable. The place is an old house that was transformed into an Italian villa with lots of windows overlooking the lake. Very cozy and rustic, we loved it. Now onto the food.....OMG. She got one of the specials which was a Chilean sea bass over polenta and green beans. The sauce was the star of the show, so good. I ended up getting the butterfly shrimp and cheesy risotto and broccoli. Again this was amazing as well. We split the tiramisu and each got the nutty Irish coffee. It was a great all around night. Very special. Unfortunately I did not get any pictures of the food. Only us!!!! Lol

I have wanted to come here for years and it didn't disappoint. I only wish I had been able to stay for the live music. Food was wonderful. My fiancé had the pasta with lobsters shrimp and some other seafood (I do not remember the name) but dang it was soooo good. But they had some of the best tiramisu I have had. The waiter was so nice and helpful, I couldn't have asked for a nicer guy.

Wow! Excellent Italian fare at this waterfront spot. The restaurant itself operates from what was formerly a lakefront house. White linen service, with tables placed far enough apart to mute conversation and not feel crowded even when every table full. We were seated at the window overlooking the lake, tranquil until a squadron of jet skiers took turns jumping wakes. Thanks to the double pane windows, the action on the water was a silent side show as we enjoyed our food. An extensive wine list accompanies a half dozen specials, plus the full menu. Service is professional yet relaxed - we weren't rushed. Orders, including special requests, accommodated with a flourish. Started with burrata. A ball of burrata is served surrounded in roasted tomato & garlic with a sprinkle of Kalamata olives and slices of crunchy grilled ciabatta. The cheese is luxuriously smooth and creamy, perfectly complemented by the sweet roasted tomato, salty olives and crunchy bread. I tried Fettucine al'Aragosta e Gamberi. Outstanding house-made fettucine is cooked perfectly al dente and tossed with alfredo sauce uniquely enhanced with saffron and green onion. Then topped with beautiful shrimp and lobster meat. They shrimp are huge, halved, curled and succulent. A nice crunch to each bite, they aren't rubbery or mushy. Lobster is a tad disappointing because it's more slivers than chunks but still sweet and tender, perfectly complemented by the rich, creamy sauce. YUM! I tried a bite of vegetable ravioli. House-stuffed ravioli are stuffed with a mix of perfectly seasoned mix of ricotta, chicken and spinach, then boiled to al dente perfection. Topped with a wonderful red sauce, slightly sweet and flavored with veal. Delicious! Also sampled Bucatini alla Enzo. Bucatini are thick, hollow spaghetti, served topped with a light cream sauce and then tossed with prosciutto, bacon, mushrooms and peas. It's a hearty mix with the distinct flavors of each ingredient in each bite. Bucatini is a unique texture - you're expecting spaghetti but it's hollow. Really good! Even though there was no room for dessert, a plate of cookies tops off the meal. Outstanding ginger snaps and powdered sugar wedding cookies were the perfect end to an excellent meal. Recommended!

We have been coming here for 18 years, and it's always been a hit. The atmosphere is very special, the view is gorgeous, the service never disappoints, and the food is a hit every single time. I recommend the antipasto (the potato salad is to die for) and the shrimp with risotto.

It's been years since we've been able to come back into town AND have time to stop at Enzo's, and we haven't been back since the ownership changed in 2022. Fortunately they have continued with excellent service and quality. Rustic lake house inside with good lighting. They do not have a kids menu per se but the fettuccine Alfredo and meatball Polpette appetizer actually worked well for our picky 9 year old, and of course the meatballs are delicious. We had the Bruschetta Al Pomodoro E Mozzarella, I had the short ribs toscana, my son had the 8 oz filet special, and my wife the Fettucine Al'Aragosta E Gamberi (shrimp and lobster in a saffron cream sauce). Everything was delicious just like we remember. Dessert, the four of us split the Tiramisu and Soufflé chocolate cake. Complementary valet parking. Compared to Nonno's in Altamonte it's a little more upscale but they are both excellent choices if you are on that end of town. Enzo's is absolutely worth the drive if you can do it from the resort area.

Enzo's on the Lake is not related to Enzo's in Disney Springs, and that's a good thing. It reminded me of a few California restaurants with an old-school feel, solid food choices, excellent service, and charm from a previous era. One issue is the noise level, it was harder to hear the server or our dinner companions. It's not shouting level, but dampening the noise should be addressed. Our server was excellent, and she could hear our requests over the noise. I ordered the Dover Sole, which was the priciest item on the menu, being a special that was market price. It was the most tender, lightly flavored white fish with a light batter, and I was fortunate to take some home with me, for the dogs, yeah right. My spouse had the vodka penne, which she said was excellently prepared. Sadly, she took most of her entree home because she filled up on the Mozzarella Caprese, Caesar salad, and bread. Her father always gives the admonition; Don't fill up on the bread! She said that the bread and appetizers were so good she couldn't help it. One of our dinner companions felt that the Veal Scallopini was made to perfection, to quote Scollozo in Godfather I, try the veal, it's the best in the city. I will return and recommend this restaurant as a casual upscale alternative to other Italian restaurants.

We enjoyed a wonderful romantic evening at Enzo's on the Lake . We made a reservation and we were seated shortly after our arrival. We were honestly still full from an earlier meal so we took most of our entree to go. We started with drinks and bread. Our first round of drinks were the mule and the Rosemary lavender smash . I loved that the straws were pasta noodles. our second round was the espresso martini and old fashioned. All the drinks were great. We then ordered an appetizer Bruschetta Mozzarella, it was so delicious & full of flavor ! For our entrees we decided on the Filetto Con Formaggio & Linguine e Vongole we took a bite, but as I stated before we were full so we let our amazing waiter know and he boxed and bagged our plates to go. He brought us over some complimentary homemade cookies that were delicious . I'm not a huge fan of ginger snaps but the ones here were spectacular. The ambiance is so Romantic . They have live music on the outside patio/bar area . So we walked out there after dinner and enjoyed some music while looking at the lake. It was a perfect date night. The staff , food , customer service & ambiance were great . We ate our entrees the next day and they heated well and tasted delicious. My pasta could have used a little more seasoning , but I still enjoyed it .

This tucked away beauty is what fine dining is all about. From the moment you enter you are encapsulated by a romantic intimate dining room overlooking the water. Our waiter, Hector, was so charming and attentive. The food was sublime. From the burrata appetizer to the shrimp and mozzarella risotto entree, I enjoyed every bite. I can't wait to come back here for future experiences.

Hands down one of the best dining experiences I've ever had! Food was incredible and so was the service. I knew this place would be good as soon as we pulled up and it was packed on a Wednesday night. Valet parking only btw. Quaint, charming building with a view of a lake. Our large group from work came in to experience their five course menu offering: Bread service, Pear salad, scallops, pasta, beef Wellington and tiramisu. All courses impeccably plated and the flavors were amazing. Every bite a treat and the meal was the perfect size. Our waiters were on top of everything. Pacing of the food was spot on. Can't wait to go back!

We were greeted with a door covered in rewards. Invited by word of mouth. Reviews looked good. Yikes. I will never be back. It's a cute building. Kitschy. Bad location though... Way better italian options in the area. Or even just go to olive garden. I so wish we had gone to olive garden. We celebrated my friends birthday here and what a disappointment. the tables were haphazardly pushed together and had a weird cushion? squishy and awkard. i feared my drinks would spill and my gf's drink DID spill. they also left all the empty wine glasses on the table throughout service. everyone else ordered cocktails. multiple ! give up on the bottle up sell. Service was VERY lackluster. Our server treated us like the bane of his existence. He couldn't even split a check. It would have been 4 checks for the table which. That's normal. He made it seem like the most difficult thing. Why complain. He got his auto gratuity. Speaking of service the looks and comments i heard from the the valet as we waited to leave... Inappropriate. Comments on our looks and homophobic behavior. keep it to yourself. drinks? good. hard to mess up a glass of wine. food? AWFUL. especially for the prices. i'm a disney gal. same price range. but disney with its quality is leagues better. which. you know. portions are small here. carpaccio was oily and like scraping residue off the plate. it was also doused in pepper. what it needed was some salt which wasn't brought for our friend who also ordered it waayyy later. also no bread or cracker to eat it with? burrata was awful. jarred sauce quality for the tomato. the bread was OILY and full of holes! also thin. the burrata its self? dry. i thought it was basically a ball of mozzarella on my plate. and the main entree.... goodness. it tasted like tap water! that's the only flavor i got. it was cooooolllldddd. so cold and dry. yet overcooked. pitiful amount of meat. our friends also complained about cold food. and the small portions.

Enzo's is a fine dining experience. Elegant, yet very homey. They have different dining areas that are very quaint and intimate. Many large windows to take in the beautiful outdoor scenery while dining. The selection of food is wonderful and the chefs definitely know what they're doing. Service is professional! They have a private terrace for customers and large groups. Even if you do not partake in the spirits, you MUST take a look see at their separate bar area, which is cozy and intimate as can be. If you great Italian food, you must treat yourself to this wonderful restaurant.

The only word that comes to mind is disappointed. We had been hearing about Enzo's for years and finally made it a point to go. Yes there is a smell when you walk in... I think what was more concerning was the wall of platters of food already set out when you walk in when they open? So they've already pre made all the antipasti apps? I asked to try a wine they sold by the glass. I was told I couldn't try it because there wasn't a bottle open.. so for $27 a glass I have to just hope I do like it? That was the first moment I realized this restaurant is not customer focused. The soup was fine, nice and hot. The meatball appetizer had a weird taste and wasn't actually hot.. more like barely room temp when it came. Our entree's were the carbonara and the short rib with "homemade pappardelle." Having been to Italy 10 times and had some bad carbonara in the states, this was not the worst. It's greasy, no soft egg sauce just bacon grease, onion and black pepper. The worst offense was actually my short rib. $64 dollars... one was just all un-rendered fat and the other I could barely even cut with a knife, oh and that home made pasta, like everyone else has said you get like 4 long noodles. There is no sauce, it's just the meat grease and some tomato. I hate to send anything back but this was just so disappointing and I couldn't even eat it. The waiter looked at me like he was surprised but at the same time we could tell it wasn't the first time he had heard it. We won't be back, there is no charm- but there is a nice view. After watching many of the staff and guests, this is not your cozy Italian family restaurant and definitely not high end Italian as their prices would try to suggest, the staff act like they would rather be anywhere else. To add insult to injury they hand you a plate of 4 not good cookies to ruin your appetite for anything else later. We would not recommend.

Had the pleasure of an office party here in the private room. Hector was a supremely gracious and professional server, he took such good care of our large group. The food was sensational! Loved the pasta course which was my favorite, penne alla vodka. The drinks , the wine, the atmosphere and the impeccable service have me putting Enzo's high up on the revisit list!

Orlando has some iconic places that people say you have to try. This place is one that has been talked about. I'm not sure why. The very first thing that hits you at the door is the "smell" of the restaurant. It's not a good smell. Although we had a gorgeous view, the view could not save this review. The drinks were fine. Hard to mess up a glass of wine and a vodka lavender smash drink. Our waiter was so disinterested in his job I had to actually ask if there were any specials. There were 3 of us so we each got something different to try. Short ribs...VERY pricy ($64) for 2 small ribs and just a tiny bit of noodles. Fettuccine with shrimp & lobster...very little fish and a completely tasteless cream sauce. Buccatini Alla Enzo...pretty darn tasty and plenty of pasta. We ALL wish we would have gotten that entree! When the waiter showed up with a funky bowl of powdery looking Parmesan cheese, we knew this was not a fine dining experience. I don't believe they actually make their pasta, either. Overall a pretty underwhelming dinner experience. This was a birthday dinner for my son. The cookies at the end were pretty good, but DO NOT WASTE YOUR $$$$$. There are literally 10 other "actual" legit homemade pasta Italian restaurants to visit. So disappointed that this place was as uninspired and smelly as it was. We won't return.

First impressions matter.I'm pulling up to this restaurant.Is it it's in disarray. It needs a paint job, a cleaning.And a new roof. We thought about leaving, but decided not to judge a book by its cover. We should have the food was very disappointing.The service was decent, although very, very rushed. The restaurant inside also needs a makeover.It's like an old home divided into separate rooms.But it's dingy. We ordered the veal with the peppadew peppers, and it was not good.It was not as tender as it should be.And the peppers gave it a very odd flavor the portion size was very small. In addition, we ordered the ravioli, which were five large ravioli.With almost no filling very disappointing. I'm not really sure why everyone gives this place.Such grave reviews. You will not return, it is not worth the money.The drive or the time.

This is a hidden gem in Longwood. It just warms the heart and if you're a long time local like me; you know it's a true staple. The atmosphere feels like you've left the area and went to the most romantic date spot in a different town but you're still in central Florida. I highly recommend getting a drink and listening to music outside then going in for dinner. The service is impeccable and makes the experience even more enjoyable. Food! The bruschetta has the perfect combination of thick, rustic buttery olive oil bread with chunks of mozzarella cheese and cherry tomatoes. Worth every bite! We also tried the Penne alla Vodka which had great flavor. But the star of the show was the Linguine e Vongole, clams in a light tomato sauce with pasta. It was heaven in each bite and never felt heavy. Everything on the menu looked like perfection so venture out as nothing will disappoint. I can't wait to return.

Amazing...food, service, and atmosphere. Highly recommend for a date night. Love that they had the area out back with live music. We will be back.

On the expense side, but one of the best Italian restaurants I've been in since living in the Orlando area. My wife and I spent $150 plus a $30 tip, but since it was our first time, I tried everything and we had a few boxes to go home with us. don't have a picture, but they had a broccoli and fontina cheese soup du jour which was outstanding.

I don't normally go online for reviews, but I have to say I have not been to Enzo's in 20 years. I was so pleased that it was still fantastic. We drove from downtown Orlando to Enzo's worth the drive. We had Bucatini for my wife and I had the most wonderful perfectly cooked veal piccata The bread was fresh and we had chopped up garlic and olive oil to dip in our waiter's name was Rudy. He's been there 16 years and he was fantastic. We had a bottle of wine and we also had the cheesecake for dessert. Oh my Lord, how great was that ? I highly recommend you go to Enzo's

Went to the bar since when I arrived they were getting my table ready and I tried the lavender rosemary and it was a really good cocktail! My server Ernesto was awesome his recommendation of the short rib pasta was delicious! And then for dessert I got the teramisu and it was so good! Ernesto also brought out some cookies and donuts to try!! Both was good too! I also got a cappuccino to go with my dessert! This place is on the pricey side but it was worth it excellent food and service!

Was very good! A friend Mr. Sam Ravello took me years ago. I can't wait to come back to Florida so I can go there again.

We came here on a double date. Our friends LOVE this place, so we were excited to try it with them. Our server was amazing, so knowledgeable and friendly. Our friends suggested splitting 2 pastas for the table as a starter. That was the best idea because it was the only things we enjoyed. We got the Penne alla Vodka, perfect sauce, and the Bucatini alla Enzo, another great pasta dish. The mains are where they lost my husband and me. I got the catch of the day. It was a snapper, my favorite ... but it was so over cooked, just bad. I should have sent it back but didn't want to insult my friends at their favorite place. My husband got the Beef Short Ribs Toscana. That was cooked well, but neither of us cared for the dish overall. It wasn't a horrible experience, but we spent a lot for not really enjoying our meal.

The bartender assured me he could make a great old fashioned. I upgraded to Angel's Envy (my fav). He had no clue! Angostura, simple syrup and a lemon twist is not what I expected. $25 with tip. Food was not to my expectations. No salt and pepper on the table and had to request pepper. On a positive note, the view is spectacular. Very expensive for the quality.

This is such a lovely restaurant with a beautiful atmosphere. It's ideal for special occasions.My uncle proposed to my aunt at this restaurant many years ago.It is my favorite Italian restaurant.I haven't eaten this well since visiting Italy.This is the best Roman Italian restaurant in Orlando.It is my favorite restaurant as well.It is romantic.

if you want the best food, this is the place. but maybe because it was just me and my husband but our server was really not responsive and did not really follow up at all. we waited for everything. it was a bummer.

I have really wanted to like this restaurant, so every few years, I try it again hoping it will be better. It's just okay... but unfortunately, not as good as it should be, considering the price and location. The restaurant gives off a bit of a pretentious vibe, which is okay sometimes but the food just doesn't match up so it ends up feeling more annoying than anything. The last time I went there was for lunch at the end of September 2022 and I left feeling underwhelmed. I noticed they had some empty tables near the windows overlooking the view of the lake, which remained empty the whole time we were there, but instead, we were seated in the middle of the room away from the window. It felt like The Caesar salad was tasty. My pasta dish was a "special" not shown on the menu but was described to me by the server as having a "meat sauce" but that was not quite true (see photo). Both my pasta and my friend's fish were just very underwhelming. See photo of the fish dish. They were nice to bring some complimentary cookies at the end of the meal. I can't complain about the service.

Went here for an anniversary dinner. Beautiful views, clean facility, good drinks, good food, great service. we had an Italian margarita at the bar prior to our meal, which was enjoyable. My husband and I both enjoyed our entrées and wine. They also gave us a bunch of deserts on the house, I think because it was our first time there, and also because it was our anniversary. This would be great for a date night and to watch the sunset over a beautiful lake.

Amazing Italian food and dessert very romantic setting. Highly recommend for a nice date night.

The building is old, but the ambience inside is nice. The bathrooms are a problem though, because as a 5'1 woman why were my knees against the stall door while I try to pee? The appetizers were okay but the burrata was very disappointing. It wasn't juicy and creamy like it should be and it was also a very small portion. The carpaccio was okay, but definitely needed a little seasoning and should have come with bread on the side. We got one entree to share and the pasta was overcooked (for a $38 plate at a nice Italian place that is a problem). The pasta was not even lukewarm, but room temperature :( (again, $38 plate of food) My friends at our table said most of their dishes were cold as well. The pasta was dry and flavorless and there wasn't enough lobster or shrimp to justify that pricetag. Drinks were good , but you really can't mess up an espresso martini, so I'm not impressed The service was sub-par, not awful, but not good. No one checked to ask how everything was. Our server acted like splitting our checks was the hardest thing he has ever done. The one redeeming factor of the meal was the complementary cookies at the end. Those were amazing, Nonna made those herself! One other strange thing was the tables were uneven and squishy for some reason (definitely a hazard when it comes to drinks). I will never be back here; it was definitely a time

Had a great time at Enzo's celebrating our anniversary! The food is excellent, the service is kind and helpful, and the ambiance feels familiar and cozy - while still feeling like you're celebrating something special. We started with the meatballs - highly recommend! For the main course I went with the Bucatini alla Enzo which was delicious. Savory, hearty, and well balanced. For dessert we had the tiramisu and the Italian wedding cake. The tiramisu was perfect, exactly how my grandmother used to make it. Overall, Enzo's is a great place to have a nice dinner or celebrate a special occasion. The setting is in a repurposed house, and the style of cooking feels like elevated home-style, so it's perfect if you're looking for a place that's cozy while also delivering top notch food and service.

We had never been here before, and we found out that they had just recently changed ownership! So I can compare the before to now. What I can't see is the upgrade to the outside is amazing. They have some different areas to sit and it's just such a gorgeous place to enjoy the outdoors and grab a drink. They are currently not serving any food outside and it is not dog friendly! The old-fashioned and sangria we're good. The food itself ... I can't say it's the best Italian food I've ever had but it is worth checking out if you live near and for the vibes.

This is hands down one of my favorite spots! The homestyle Italian food is absolutely delicious. Pair that with the most stunning view of the lake and service that truly goes above and beyond, and you've got a perfect dining experience every time. Whether it's a romantic date night, a girls' dinner, or a special celebration in one of their private rooms or lakeside down back with live music, this place never disappoints. It's a gem in every way!

It was an amazing experience. The environment is beautiful, the lake, the sunset... Staff were very friendly and helpful. Meatball was delicious. Creamy burrata was good. Lobster bisque was too sour for me. Filete was very good. Carbonara ok. Enzo pasta was better than the carbonara, more flavorful. Chocolate sorbet was very good. Lava cake amazing, just like mine (recipe is on my YouTube channel) ;) They have complementary valet.

Great service, nice staff and excellent ambiance! Food was good too! The only problem was they didn't ask me how I want my steak and it was well done! I didn't bring up since these type of things happen

We hosted a wedding rehearsal dinner there last week. We were in the Dolce room. The service was perfect. Our guests loved Ugo and Moses. The food was a tremendous multi-course meal. The house wines were reasonable and delicious. I could not recommend this place enough!
