La Luce at Signia by Hilton Bonnet Creek - A Decade of Excellence
It's been a while since I last reviewed La Luce, but let me set the record straight--it remains just as phenomenal as when I first dined there 10 years ago. The quality, service, and ambiance have stood the test of time, making it one of the best Italian restaurants in Orlando.
I've been a loyal guest ever since, and no matter how many times I visit, the team treats every guest with the same warm hospitality--whether it's your first time or your 50th. That says a lot.
Ambiance & Experience
La Luce underwent a renovation about a year ago, and the refreshed setup is spacious, elegant, and inviting. There's a comfortable entry area for walk-ins, a well-stocked bar, and private dining rooms for events of 30-40 guests. Plus, the views? Spectacular. You get a glimpse of the lazy river, golf course, and even fireworks around 9 PM.
Valentine's Day Dinner
I dined at La Luce on February 14th for a Valentine's Day dinner. I made the mistake of not booking a reservation, but they kindly held a walk-in table for me. That's the kind of service that keeps me coming back!
Food Highlights
La Luce's menu never disappoints, and our meal was no exception:
Fried Olives - A must-try! Crispy, lightly breaded, perfectly seasoned with just the right kick. If you're an olive fan, this is for you.
Margherita Pizza - Wood-fired to perfection. Thin crust, balanced sauce (not too acidic, not too sweet), and fresh basil.
Tomato Basil Soup - Delicious, though I would have preferred it a bit hotter.
Pork Chop - A standout dish! Their recipe seems to have changed recently--more flavorful, juicy, and tender, paired beautifully with sweet potato mash & roasted dates.
Crab & Lobster Mascarpone - Absolute perfection. Rich, creamy, and indulgent.
Ribeye Steak - Cooked medium rare to perfection.
Special Valentine's Dessert - We were so full but had to end on a sweet note!
Drinks & Spirits
Their wine selection is extensive, featuring incredible Italian, Argentinian, Chilean, and American wines.
For bourbon and whiskey lovers, their selection is top-notch. And for my fellow tequila enthusiasts, you won't find the typical celebrity additive-filled brands here. Instead, you'll find Fortaleza (Los Abuelos) and other high-quality options.
I always order their Margarita--crafted with freshly squeezed lime, quality tequila, agave, and orange liqueur. No mixers, no shortcuts--just a perfectly balanced cocktail.
Shoutout to the Amazing Staff
The heart of La Luce is its incredible team. Special thanks to Luque, Nella, Cesar, Stephano, Ricardo, Jeff, and Alberto for always providing exceptional service. And a heartfelt mention to Shirley, who always greeted my son and me with a warm smile at the pizza-making station.
Final Thoughts
La Luce at Signia by Hilton Bonnet Creek is a gem that never loses its shine. Whether you're a local or visiting Disney Springs, it's a must-visit for a refined yet welcoming dining experience.
