Walked in a bit skeptical but was willing to try this place out for a late lunch. The server was warm and friendly, took my order ( Stromboli for 1 ) and brought my drink back promptly. A few minutes later she appeared with my plate, all I can say is WOW. The shell was fluffy and not over cooked but cooked just right. There was the right amount of fillers inside and all very well cooked, not crunchy and not raw. She checked up on me during off chewing time to check on how things were. Sounds like a perfect place to revisit time after time since I work so close. Thank You for an enjoyable lunch. read more

Went last night for the first time. We sat at the bar and our bartender was the same guy at salt shack! We really like him! We had the brushetta as an app. It was delicious. I had the veal piccata and my husband had the shrimp fra diaviolo. We both love our entrees. I was so happy they had veal. Not many Italian places have it on their menu and it's my favorite. We will be back! read more

Calabria Ristorante - Veal piccata. - Italian Near Me - Clermont, Florida

I decided to give this place a second chance and ordered a veal parm because I was really craving one. Big mistake. What showed up looked more like a science experiment than a sandwich. The bread was so stale I could've used it as a doorstop, and the veal was so thin and rubbery I honestly thought I was chewing on an old flip-flop. If there was any actual veal in there, it must've been hiding because I sure couldn't find it. It instantly reminded me of that old Wendy's commercial "Where's the beef?" Except here it was, "Where's the veal?" And the answer is: not in this sandwich. Look, I get that taste is subjective, but I'd challenge anyone to call this edible, let alone enjoyable. This wasn't just a miss, it was a culinary strikeout. Needless to say, I won't be back, and unless you enjoy stale bread and mystery meat, I wouldn't recommend you stop by either. If I could have asked for a refund, I definitely would have as this was definitely not fresh at all. read more

Ordered delivery via DoorDash on their website! Food came less than 45 mins and driver was very nice. We got the 14" cheese with mushrooms and basil, 14" Calabria special and a large house salad. Paid $56 (excluding tip and driver fees). Food surprisingly came hot for pizza and we had a lot of left overs from the four of us. Pizza toppings were generous and their cheese is top quality. They could have gave a little more House Salad for $10. Italian dressing doesn't seem homemade. read more

Delicious pizza........but wrong order. I clearly stated A Popeye pie, white pizza ....When I got home it was a regular cheese pie, with the correct toppings, but not a Popeye white pie with spinach. Next time I will check the box before I leave! read more

The best pizza in Clermont! NY Style. We get seated right away either by the bar area or dining area. The staff is always attentive and friendly. We always order the pizza. Always fresh and piping hot! The flavor is amazing and you want to keep eating more. I would also recommend the calamari. The bar are is always serving up great drinks.

We ordered the Sicilian half pepperoni pizza to go. The 6 mins drive home alone was torturous! The smell of this delicious pizza almost had me eating one on the way home! My husband and I were very pleased with the quality. And since it was a carry out order I didn't expect much of a raving service but was greeted with such a friendly hostess and directed me to where I needed to pick up the pizza too. We will sure to return and dine in too! read more

Calabria Ristorante - Sicilian pizza 1/2 pepperoni - Italian Near Me - Clermont, Florida

Calabria is your typical neighborhood Italian and pizza place. Generous portions and good service make for an enjoyable meal. I would say the food and prices are similar to an Olive Garden. I met up with friends for an early Saturday evening meal. We were seated and our server came right over. The server's pacing and attention was good all the way up until the bill. I noticed on the way out that by then the restaurant had really filled up. All the tables and booths were full as well as the bar area. I opted to pay $2 to add the Greek side salad to my chicken piccata. I got a salad plate sized mix of lettuce, cucumber, and peppers with lots of black olives and feta cheese. I could almost fill up on this. Next I got the chicken piccata. The chicken breasts did not appear to be seared so it seemed they were counting on the sauce with tons of capers and the capellini pasta to do the heavy lifting. I had plenty to take home but was not that excited about my leftovers. My friend got the personal Popeye pizza that was studded with spinach and mozzarella. It was as small as a personal pizza at some restaurants, about 10 inches. Overall I had been anxious after reading some negative reviews on Yelp. It was OK. Nothing special but not terrible. $29 for a glass of white wine, Greek salad and the chicken piccata. The company of my good friends was priceless. read more

First time customer by finding this restaurant on Yelp when driving through the area. The restaurant is divided into a bar area and a dining area. We arrived mid afternoon and everyone was seated in the bar, so that's what we did. Our server was quick to bring us menus and drinks. The menu is varied, with appetizers, sandwiches, entrees, pizza, etc. I settled on an original stromboli, which I seldom see on menus. My stromboli arrived timely, and looked great. There were ample ingredients, and everything was hot and oozy. There was a side of marinara, which was good. Definitely a good stop. Good service, good food, good prices. read more

The pizza, calzones, Strombolis and salads are consistently delicious! I need to try their main dishes.

Delicious food and attentive service. Everything arrived perfect for a party of five. Absolutely LOVED the greek salad.

ordered two 18" pizzas for takeout. one was ok and the second one was terrible. We check the first pizza but didn't check the 2nd one. When we got home, found the 2nd one was sloppy and under cooked even though i ordered crispy. They plopped the toppings on in piles.nothing was evenly spread out. there was large mounds of pepperoni on the pizza and large piles of other topping as well. Tiramisu we got was very bland. Garlic knots were outstanding. first pizza was ok . read more

What a hidden gem. We stopped in to have dinner and we really enjoyed the restaurant. The restaurant is in a strip mall type of area with plenty of parking. Once you get in they have a bar area, high top tables and a regular dining area. For starters we had the antipasto which was excellent. It contained all of the normal offerings, Italian meats, burrata, olives and peppers. Then for our meals we ordered a cheese pizza for the kids, I had a meatball grinder and my girlfriend had the chicken Marsala. The kids enjoyed their pizza, which by the way, it is hard to find good pizza in Florida. The grinder hit the spot, plenty of mozzarella and the meatballs were good. My girlfriend really enjoyed her Chicken Marsala which was a generous portion, enough for lunch the next day. read more

So disappointed in Calabria on Wednesday Evening...Ash Wednesday. Walked in at 8:45...they close at 9:30. We were told only pizzas....left...they lost business.... We are long time customers...been going since the day they opened. read more

The environment is really nice and friendly staff. Drinks were delicious!!! The red sauce in the ravioli was very strong and too acidity. The pastas weren't wow, just ok. Gluten free pizza was crispy and very good. Calzone was also good. read more

First off the service was very good. That was about all that was good. The food we had was terrible and prepared with zero love and it was prepared with a lack of concern. I had the Veal Marsala, it was not pounded, it was not pounded thin, the meat was tough, it was not tender at all. Look at the pic, I thought it was chicken at first. Those are basic steps totally missed in preparing this dish. My wife got the Grouper Francaise and it was loaded with breading and very very little fish and tons of breading for $30 plus she found a bone, and she said it tasted "fishy" . Why sell these dishes if you don't take the preparation of these dishes seriously?? My opinion is go to this place for the pizza and possibly the wings. read more

Manager (Hussein?) is emotionally disturbed. He needs to be medicated. I asked for thinly sliced chicken. It was not sliced thin. I calmly asked a second time. Homeboy comes running out of the kitchen screaming that he "works 18 hr days, 6 days a week, blah blah blah", picking an argument and yelling for no reason (I looked behind me cuz I knew he was not talking to me like that). Dude, get a grip, take your crazy pills and STFU! Listen, you disrregulated little boy, it is not that deep. Just say "sorry we cannot do it" or "sorry, we will do it". Stop screaming at ppl for no reason. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ppl around me were mortified![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Look "Skippy", one day you are gonna piss off the wrong person and you are gonna pick your teeth off the floor. Life has a funny way to teach ppl lessons! OWNER: you must not care about your money allowing a child to manage your establishment. And btw, this is not the first time I have seen him act like a fool. He yells at servers in the middle of the restaurant! It is called "Hostile work environment". Look it up! You will find yourself in court because of this clown! Save yourself the headache and *** FIRE HIM TODAY!*** EMPLOYEES: WALK OUT PEOPLE. JUST DO IT! There are better jobs out there! read more

I recently returned to this spot upon visiting clermont I rarely write reviews. but I couldn't let this bad experience slide! out charming waitress was informed of my food allergy, garlic! I mentioned the horrible reaction I'd have if ingested! I ordered a cold antipasto salad, eliminating the marinated mushrooms and anything else garlic related. she offered a choice of salad dressings. I went with balsamic vinegar my plate arrived with a bowl of dressing. thought to be the balsamic dressing poured it over my salad only to realize it was a pesto sauce. all pesto is made with garlic. they had to make me a fresh dish. in the background u could hear a discussion between the waitress and other unseen staff having a heated conversation about the dish. I got the same dish with the right dressing. I'm eating the food ad as I get down the bottom of the plate I see cloves of garlic in my food. I'm mortified! I picked them out and set aside. called the waitress over who looked just as stunned as I was. only then after asking for a manager did they get serious about the issue. at this point Im told that the toasted peppers in the dish are marinated in Gallic. yet they still let the dish cone out of the kitchen. they also mentioned that their pesto sauce isn't made with garlic. I know that's not true. It was horrible to not be taken serious when a person Informs u a food allergy. A manager should be dispatched to ur table immediately when told. They only came over after the fact and while semi apologizing. They started rambling about their insurance. It was such carelessness and disregard. With night of agony that was completely avoidable. They didn't charge our meal. I left the waitress a tip anyway! She tired! I'll never visit there again. For those who have food allergies. This isn't a place that takes it seriousl. Avoid!! read more

Sad to see this Resturant that's been stable in Clermont for over 15 years to be falling by the wayside. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Saturday 1:30 and the place had only 7or 8 patrons in the bar side ( other side closed)[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Many of the tables have napkins folded under one leg to balance them.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our server Megan was prompt and friendly. The salad we got was not what was ordered and when we pointed this out the salad was quickly removed and returned with the same offending contents picked off the top of the salad but not removed from the bottom of the salad. About 10 minutes after 2 meat & parm meals were brought to the table the third meal had not yet arrived. Megan came out and told us that they make the wrong meal. 15 minutes later the chef brought out the meal and apologized for its lateness ( but threw Megan under the bus and basically blamed her for the wrong order.) The Large Greek Salad at $14.00 is a nice fare for 2 people. The Veal Parm and Chicken Parm at $22 & $20 respectively served with spaghetti and marinara sauce were nothing to write about ; neither massive size nor great taste. The soft drinks are $2.50. Bread served with butter premeal was tasteless not like the garlic bread they served in the past. The owners who used to always be on site were nowhere to be seen today. Does anyone know if there are under new management? Their location in the 50/455 shopping plaza makes it an easy place to get in and out of, but with service and meals like today's visit; I don't feel that we will be comming back any time soon. read more

Visiting Clermont this past weekend, we stopped for some yummy grub at Calabria based on the Yelp ratings. The place is super cute, casual. Service by the young man who took care of was awesome.

First time customers and can honestly say it was very very good. Great service, great food and great prices. Our side Caesar salads were delicious. We asked for anchovies and they gave us a generous amount. Each entree was well prepared and well received. We'll be back. read more

I have been here many times now. This place is pretty good for Italian food. As close to New York as you can get. My only critique is the pizzas are a little too salty. Last night I had the lobster ravioli in a vodka creme sauce. Very delish. Would definitely order those again. The staff is very friendly and accommodating and [[HIGHLIGHT]]inside is nice and cozy with booths and a bar area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The wine is very good too!

Great service by Ashley, she was very attentive to our needs, drinks were cold, place is cool, Food was good

Food and service was as good as expected. [[HIGHLIGHT]]A good family operated Italian place for a casual dinner.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Out of the Italian restaurants in Clermont Calabria is our favorite. The food is fresh and 90% of the time it is prepared well. We have had a few times when the sauces were too thin and lacked flavor. My wife likes the fettuccine alfredo with jumbo shrimp. I like the veal parm and the veal Francese. read more

We have gone to Calabria many times for their wonderful Calzones. Last night the entire meal was not good at all. The bread they serve before the meal was over cooked and actually almost burned on the top.na couple pieces were hard as a rock. Why would they even serve it? The Calzone I had was so garlicky I could hardly eat it all. The crust part was also very thick and " bready". Others at the table had the same complaint. Needless to say several of us were very disappointed in our meal. I can only hope it was an "off" night. We also noticed that the kitchen area was very noisy.....loud talking and laughing.....disruptive for people dining. All in all it was not a good experience. I just wonder what has happened since this is first for us. read more

Our go-to local restaurant! Great food, service and pricing! The atmosphere is casual but comfortable. Best New York Style pizza in Central Florida! read more

Calabria is a good 50 to 60 minutes from home, but a previous experience over a year back was so good that for a special celebration, we decided to go back. We were 15 attending with kids, so we made a reservation for the busiest time of day. Needless to say, everything was excellent, food, ambiance, and the attention of the team serving us. Meals were served to all at the same time. Summary we had a great night and if not for the distance we would be there regularly. read more

Nice restaurant in Clermont! I really enjoyed the Antipasto Platter which was shareable for two. I also got the Bianca Deluxe Pizza which was really good - the dough was very well cooked and not doughy. I enjoyed sitting on the patio on a rare not so hot Summer night. Recommend if in the area and looking for a good bite. read more
