    The al fresco dining area
    Michael R.

    This is my favorite pizza in the entire city. Usually I call ahead and get takeout but I have eaten in the restaurant as well and it was a very enjoyable experience with great service. On a nice evening it's great to sit outside and people watch added benefit is it's only 2 blocks to Lake Eola so you can walk off the calories. The thing that makes this pizza my favorite is that the crust is thin and it has the perfect amount of cheese on it. But the sauce is the best I have ever had. I normally like toppings on pizza but with Anthony's I want plain cheese so I can savor the perfection

    I came here with one of my girlfriends for dinner because the restaurant we wanted to go had an hour wait and parking was impossible to find in the area, so we decided to go with Anthony's because of their private lot. We should've went elsewhere. The server was very nice and considerate, but the food was not good. My friend was feeling unwell because she hadn't eaten much that day, so asked for their soup of the day. The server brought it put within a few minutes, which was unexpectedly fast. She took one bite, then passed it to me to try. It tasted terrible and was cold even though it had just been brought out. (The server did take that off the bill). She also ordered the bruschetta, which was also all cold. I took a piece and the bread which should have just been toasted was cold like it just came out of the fridge, as well as the tomato and mozzarella. For myself, I ordered the mushroom truffle pasta. I ate it because I was hungry, but it was not sitting well as the night went on. It could be that I'm not used to eating pasta and maybe that's why my stomach was fighting digesting it, but who knows. There are better places to eat in Thornton Park, so I'll be skipping this restaurant in the future.

    Small pizza
    Ash W.

    Okay, firstly, not our first time here. The food here is really good. Service is always great. We stopped in and sat at the bar, very nice and quiet. I received their email that told me about their fall specials. A Thanksgiving Stromboli with turkey, stuffing, cranberry, and gravy.... That's right up my alley. So that is what I ordered, we also got a small pizza. The pizza was great, of course. The Stromboli was HUGE, and I expected it to be, it still can shock you when it comes out The Stromboli was everything you would think it was. Very good. Overall, we come here often and have always had a great time. Definitely check it out if you can.

    Buffalo Wings
    Brad T.

    Came here for brunch and ordered wings. Dont judge! So the wings were a great size and cooked really well. The buffalo was solid but I probably should've got them spicier The lemon pepper was amazing! Honestly, sitting outside and dinning was pretty fun. There was a TV too so we were able to watch sports

    Mushroom appetizer
    Jacqueline W.

    My daughter and I visited Anthony's tonight, and it was quite the treat! We started with the cheese garlic knots, which were only $6.99 and absolutely delicious. I ordered the honey hot wings and a mushroom appetizer. The wings were some of the best I've ever had--perfectly cooked with great flavor. The mushroom appetizer was interesting? The seating was comfortable, the service was fast and attentive, and overall it was a very enjoyable dining experience. We'll definitely be back!

    Pepperoni pizza
    Joe W.

    My son and I had limited time to eat before a show, so I called in advance to see if we could place an order (or get a pizza started for us) before we arrived to sit down and eat. While they stated normally they don't, especially on a weekend, Savannah accommodated us. Not only was the pizza ready for us just a few moments after sitting down, but her service was impeccable. My son, a pizza connoisseur, believes this is a top 5 pizza in Central Florida, and though it was our first time trying it, I don't disagree at all. Thank you so much for the food and friendly service, Savannah.

    Highly recommend if you're in the Thornton park area if you're craving some pizza!! It is as so good and the cheese was a perfect cheesy combination. Service also was great & friendly

    Garlic knots
    Lawrence U.

    This place has been consistent when it comes to food. Garlic knots are fresh and tasty. The sweet garlic topping not too greasy. The turn around was fast for the appetizer. Ordered the pizza, Hot Honey- pepperoni, sopraseta, mozzarella, red onions, with a drizzle of hot honey. Service was fast and friendly. Parking is a challenge especially on weekends. Place is clean.

    Elfrida R.

    Placed an online order for pickup; easy and simple. Went to pickup and the restaurant is cute and clean. The staff was nice except for one young lady behind the counter that seemed annoyed. The restaurant is walking distance from Lake Eola. Their pizza is delicious. My boss only buys pizza from them. He calls the the big pizza chains fake, and will only eat pizza from Anthony's. He said that is as close to Italian as you can get. My apologies for not taking pics of the piz

    Chicken Palermo, meatball sliders, fried ravioli
    Cheryl W.

    This was a perfect dinner spot before a Magic game! Since we were there during happy hour, we tried the meatball sliders and fried ravioli from the happy hour food menu. Both were excellent, and of course it's always a bonus to have food options on the happy hour menu for parties that include members who can't drink! We also had the Chicken Palermo which our server recommended. It was absolutely delicious-- very flavorful and thick sauce, pasta cooked to perfection, and juicy chicken throughout. Our server was fantastic. Super friendly, attentive without being overwhelming, and so thoughtful with the whole experience. We sat in the outdoor seating which was lovely (& covered to protect you from whatever Florida elements are present at the time you go). It had a casual yet nice vibe which we really enjoyed and reasonable prices for the quality of food and atmosphere. We will absolutely be back!

    Mason L.

    Really solid experience! It was my first time coming here and I definitely wasn't disappointed. We opted to sit inside because of the heat, but outside definitely seemed like it would be more enjoyable. Super generous portion and really good price. Service, admittedly, was good but almost...too attentive lol. It felt like they were checking on us too often, especially for as quiet as it was inside.

    Philly cheesesteak sub
    Shanice W.

    Had brunch at Anthony's in Thornton Park and had a great experience! It was a slow morning, which made for excellent, attentive service. Ali, our bartender and waitress, was awesome--friendly and super helpful. We went for the bottomless mimosas at just $18 per person, which is a fantastic deal. To start, we had the ricotta meatballs--absolutely delicious! For entrees, we ordered the half chicken parmesan and Philly cheesesteak subs. While the Philly cheesesteak wasn't my favorite (just a personal preference--I wanted to try something new), the pasta salad it came with was incredible. So flavorful! Only downside is that parking can be a bit tricky in the area, but that wouldn't stop me from coming back. Definitely planning to return!

The Aragosta featured lots of fresh seafood. For dessert, we had the crème brûlée, which was lit on fire, and a cannoli. An excellent meal overall! The ambiance inside is classic Italian with dim lighting and a lot of noise due to the busyness of the restaurant - not a complaint, just an observation. There's also an accordion player that goes around, which is a nice touch. The service was very high end and professional, although it was a bit slow. We were seated quickly, but it took a while before we were provided any menus, and once we ordered it took quite some time for the food to arrive. Overall, this is definitely a great date night or special occasion spot worth trying!

I selected the pesto and mortadella because I have never seen mortadella on a pizza outside of my Italy vacation so... lord help me it was delicious. This combo of ingredients was perfection. This was my first time at Tratto and I already have made plans to return. My plans include trying another new-to-me pizza combination but no promises. I might get the pesto and mortadella on repeat for the foreseeable future. The pizzas can be ordered in Thin crust or Detroit style. I ordered my pizza as thin crust which was exceptional and my dining partner ordered a Detroit style with pepperoni and thoroughly enjoyed it. We both had enough leftovers to take home for another meal. This restaurant accepts reservations. The service was attentive and efficient. The restaurant interior ambiance was elegant and modern - Dim and comfortable on a hot and way too sunny day.

Granted it was Saturday night, but it took quite a while for a server to come by to our table initially. However, when he did he was very nice and apologetic. The homemade bread decent- crusty and toasty. We started with the ratatouille. It had the most delicious meat sauce underneath, and was served with burrata and pesto on top. The presentation was gorgeous! In my opinion, it was the show stopper of the evening. My chicken parm came out, and it was by far the largest portion of chicken parm I have ever had! It could easily be shared (and was) and still have some to take home (and I did!). The tableside cheese wheel presentation was about the same as I've seen before at the H. The only set back was he had the cheese prepared, but had to wait on the pasta to come out. Not a seamless show, but the pasta was pretty tasty with the fresh cheese. We also got a Detroit style cheese pizza that had a tremendous cheese pull! One thing I can say about Tratto is they definitely use quality cheese. The only cheese I wasn't crazy about was the burrata. Tratto provided a tasty successful dinner. Would I drive 30 mins to go again? Probably not, but still recommend checking it out. I would go again if I lived closer.

Both solid choices. We also had a bread service and vining at served with that was different. Really good and a touch sweet. I asked the server to find out what the brand of vinegar used was and she did. She also offered to get me a little cup of it to take home with additional bread.
