    Receipt
    Rich R.

    Floridinos has a nice appearance from the outside, but unfortunately our dine-in experience did not match the expectations created by the recommendations we had heard. When we arrived, we told the employee that our party was two. Rather than being escorted to a table, the employee walked partway through the dining area and pointed to where we should sit. It was a small interaction, but it set an unwelcoming tone from the start. My wife ordered the chicken parmesan, listed at $14.78, and I ordered the chicken Alfredo, listed at $13.85. When our meals arrived, my portion was noticeably larger than hers, but the larger serving did not make up for the quality. The chicken in my Alfredo appeared to be processed chicken rather than a fresh chicken breast or similar cut. Anyone familiar with the difference will understand what I mean. Meanwhile, the chicken on my wife's chicken parmesan appeared to be real chicken, which made the inconsistency even more confusing. If real chicken is available for one entrée, why use processed chicken in the chicken Alfredo? We tried to give the food a fair chance, but both meals were bland and underwhelming. The Alfredo tasted like something that could be recreated at home with jarred sauce, boxed penne, and better-quality chicken. Also, customers should pay close attention to the prices they are charged. My chicken Alfredo was listed on the menu at $13.85, but the final bill showed $14.37--an increase of $0.52. This happened before the staff even knew we would be paying by credit card, so it did not appear to be a card-related charge. I chose not to dispute it because, after the overall experience, we had already decided this would be our last visit. Restaurant experiences can be subjective, and Floridinos may work for some people. However, based on our visit, the service, food quality, consistency of ingredients, and unexpected price difference left us disappointed.

    Stuffed shells
    Christina G.

    Me and my family, as a group of nine, visited this location to enjoy a celebratory dinner. The place was packed, so we had a bit of a wait. We were eventually jammed into a large corner booth, which was very tight for our large party. The view out the back, overlooking the lake, was lovely - I spied several white herons wading in the water. Our server, Chevy, was attentive and friendly - he got everyone's order perfectly, and was prompt to refill any empty glasses. I opted for stuffed shells - which was fitting since I was craving them from earlier in the week. The dish contained 3 shells and a meatball, and came with a side of garlicky bread. I found the ricotta a tad sweet; overall, not the best shells I've ever had, but not the worst. My husband ordered wings (habanero and blackened). The wings were fried crispy and sauced just right. Servings were mostly generous, especially considering prices. It was a nice meal out with family in a nice setting.

    Pazzo Bread
    Cameron S.

    Floridino's never disappoints. The pizza, wings, and Pazzo bread are always our go-to favorites. This time we had the white pizza, baked perfectly with great flavor throughout. The wings tossed in their signature sauce are a must--mostly sweet with just a little heat on the back end. We also tried the pastrami sandwich with melted cheese and a creamy mustard sauce on a toasted roll, which paired together perfectly. We sat at the bar on a Saturday for lunch and received great service. Always a great stop for lunch or dinner.

    Rainbow cake

    Unfussy, delicious, lakeside dining. A solid option in the area. We came here while visiting family nearby. There's a lovely sunset lake view from the dining room - the outdoor space wasn't being used while we were there. We started with the pizza rolls and these were delicious - if we hadn't ordered dinner, we'd have increased our order from 6 to 12. Our pasta meals were all delicious (mine was a little oily but I could avoid it) and service was sweet and friendly. We grabbed a couple cake slices to go on our way out - rainbow and chocolate. Both were tasty but slight edge to the chocolate (surprising to me - I usually prefer non-chocolate desserts, but it was that good!). Would definitely return when we are back in the area.

    Gnocchi Al Fuoco with Alfredo Sauce

    We had heard this restaurant had excellent food. Unfortunately we were not impressed. A few of us ordered this 'New' pasta dish and chose 'with Alfredo sauce'. Would you have expected the picture I've shared? We expected to have everything in this dish with Alfredo sauce as well based on how it is written. As you can see, we just received a bowl of pasta with Alfredo sauce that I could have made at home. We showed it to the waitress and she agreed and was going to speak to the manager and we never heard another word. Terrible customer service. To top it off, when we received the bill, they upped all the prices. When we asked, the waitress said that's the price for pay with credit card. I've never seen it done like this. Normally the receipt shows the prices that match the menu and then at the bottom it says they will add a percentage if paying by credit card. Seems a bit shady to me. We weren't impressed and won't be returning.

    Look what the description says and look what I got. You even have to pay extra for the Alfredo lol.

    Waitress does not care about her job only reason I'll come back to this place is to eat and tip her nothing. Staff don't really seem to care, food is plain, and doesn't come out like the menu describes place is trash. Only thing I'll give this place is the view. Manager wouldn't even help us

    Greek flatbread pizza

    Service was fast and courteous. The Greek flatbread pizza was excellent. Perfect bite size pieces.

    RECEIPT

    Ambiance Nice but... ...I decided to go with my family, to eat something last minute, and although a "SUGGESTED TIP" is excellent, because of the quality of the food is super good, the service too, but I am one of those who think that I leave the TIP because of the service that the person gave me, and also sometimes I also evaluate the food, in order to adjust the total of the TIP, but in this place I do not have to evaluate the food, because it is good, but the TIP I PAY FOR THE SERVICE AND THEY SHOULD NOT CALCULATE THE % WITH THE TAXES, it does not matter what amount of taxes the receipt has, the TIP is for the service only, because in this way the person who offered the service, I would get a higher TIP total, and even more so when now they do not pay taxes for TIPS at the time of surrendering or submitting to the IRS, anyway I left you very good TIP, I only leave you this review so that you are pending and do not waste your money paying TIP for the taxes on the receipt

    Food was good AND huge. I had the Calzone. I do recommend. Service was fast and she was very nice. Went for early lunch and not too busy. It does get busy because it's so good!

From the time I was seated, to my waiter (Matthew) service and talking to the owner (Ray). Being from The Villages area, my friend & I like to visit restaurants that are not in our area; usually we go to lunch. My friend got the Chicken Parm & the piece of Chicken was huge & very tender. My choice was the Italian Deli Sandwich which was very yummy. I am a travel agent who does many local bus trips & I am planning on bringing a group of 34 ladies to this establishment. Before I got home, Hailey (Ray's wife) already sent me several group menus. I was very impressed with how quickly Hailey responded. FYI - I did not make a reservation so Ray did not know I was coming over ahead to time. They just treated me like anyone else. I would highly recommend this restaurant for you personal pleasure but also if you have a group who would like to go somewhere different. When you walk in the ambiance is like an upscale place but the pricing is great and compares to other eateries. So do your self a favor & give them a try. You won't regret it.

    This restaurant is by far overrated. The ambiance is very dark when you go in with piano music…read moreplaying. The host were rude and didn't have a warm welcome upon arrival. We were seated in the back room for a birthday dinner celebration. The room was extremely dark and we couldn't turn on the other lights because it was connected to the most dustiest ceiling fans that had at least 1/4 of an inch thick of dust. The woman who was coming in and out of the room to pour water in the water glasses had an attitude like she didn't want to be there. I asked her a question about the menu and she very dryly told me "you can't order that unless you are on the other side" then walked away. That's when I was inquiring about the bistro menu. At that point I knew I wasn't going to be able to eat anything there due to their lack of plant based items or even easily adjustable items so I just ate the bruschetta. However when we placed the order for the bruschetta it never came out. So once we asked about it, it was then comped and brought out. Our waiter was very irritated and annoyed it seemed with the large party he had to tend to but his assistant which was a younger more personable guy was way more pleasant to be around. The cost point for the food was beyond the taste and size of the portions. When I asked about kid options, the waiter told me he could have the chef make a kids steak or chicken tenders and fries. It was my mistake for not asking for the price since I assumed it was a kids portion. Granted the tiniest steak did come out I still had to pay over $24 which I would have purchased the regular adult size if that was the case. So some clarity on the menu options for the kids would have been greatly appreciated. I can go on and on about this place but ultimately I would recommend not to go here unless you don't care about customer service or price points. Upon leaving the family event, and getting home I then realized my debit card was never returned to me by our gracious waiter. So once we returned to retrieve the card another day we were greeted with the rudest and most annoyed individuals at the host station. Needless to say we will never ever return.

My server Kaleb was really great and informative, although a really busy day for a Wednesday he was on point. On to the food -- I ordered the mozzarella sticks as an appetizer to start which were crispy, well seasoned & definitely HOT (cheese PULLLL) lol Next the classic trio because I wanted to try their chicken parm and their Alfredo. Both were really good, I would say the Alfredo lacked a little bit of sauce but that's just personal preference. My meal came with a side, I chose the chicken soup.. it was GOOD but very heavy seasoning which made it somewhat spicy, so I did not finish it. ( Kaleb did try to offer me something else which I appreciated however I passed on the offer.) I tried the Caesar salad and that was good and fresh. Almost forgot to mention the warm bread for the table was sooooo good! Lol ( I know you're thinking it's just bread?) but it was freshly baked, and the olive oil with seasoning was a perfect touch. Not pictured* since it was my first time they gave me a complimentary free dessert. I chose the strawberry cheesecake, which was fluffy, creamy and tasted really good. Not too sweet. I would definitely return back.

We checked out the venue and decided to take a chance on it and we are very happy that we did. The staff already helpful in answering a couple of our questions and also suggesting some of the items. The garlic knots were fantastic although I definitely recommend eating them quickly because there is a generous amount of garlic butter on them and the couple we left to the end we're a little bit more soggy. Although the first few were perfec. As other people have mentioned the burger was massive and tasted great, we will not expecting such a unique bun which made the burger even better. Unsurprisingly we were interested in getting a pizza and after the success of the garlic knots, we knew the pizzas would be great. I opted for pizza I pasty of not seen before which was the lasagna Pizza, as my favorite pasta dish I thought this was a no-brainer. The pizza had ricotta and pieces of beef on it. It was tasty, unique and I believe that any pizza is improved by the addition of ricotta so I was already sold. The pizza was a good size and I even took a couple of slices home. On top of everything else there was also an ice cream counter in the small venue, I can atest to the fact that however full I am there is always room for a sweet treat. It was wide variety of different ice cream flavors and I struggled to know what to choose. Overall we were very happy with our experience and did not expect to find something like this hiding on an alternate route we took due to traffic. We will certainly taking this route again and stop by soon!
