This restaurant has an amazing view of the lake as well as open views all around when dining. It definitely has a family feel atmosphere with both a pub option. The waitress we had was very kind and welcoming and bubbly with conversation. My family were all very pleased with their food, which consisted of bbq wings, lemon pepper boneless wings, a Reuben sandwich and fries and chicken fingers and fries. The only negative I have to say is I ordered a Greek salad without feta and the amount of dressing and oil was beyond an acceptable amount that I wasn't able to eat it all or even half. By the time I ate through the top layer of lettuce the entire bowl was wilted and drowning in oil. So my advice would be stay away from the salad and just enjoy the heartier options. read more

I came here because a friend recommended it but I thought was going to get the full mom and pop experience, so they have lots of calzones , pizza and burgers , some pasta , but not real Italian cuisine pasta , more like the microwave pasta , so we stay away from it we order a pizza and had great flavor but was soggy tours the center . Staff was friendly and attentive and place has very lots of space for big groups. Price is reasonable in some items , not all read more

Came to Floridino's Italian Kitchen after passing by it for months and seeing the parking lot always full. So I was wondering what was it all about and decided to finally stop in. When you first walk in there is a cooler full of Italian dessert like canoli and cheese cake. The hostess took us to the dining area on the right. Plenty of tables. There is also a bar to the left with some TVs, but I didn't investigate. So here is my confession, I wanted authentic Italian, but my party wanted pizza and wings so I was out voted. Honestly, the pizza and wings were mid. Wish I could have had some different Italian. Service is good here. read more

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. read more

Floridino's Italian Kitchen - Receipt - Italian Near Me - Lake Hamilton, Florida

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. read more

That credit card fee filtered into the menu prices are ridiculous because at the end of the day we are paying the taxes on the credit card fee even if your paying cash! It's something that if so many people complain about why can't they charge a fee for using card after the final price using the real menu prices. That way people can see the fee amount if using card and people paying cash can actually pay the right amount and the right taxes. read more

The decor inside the restaurant is very nice and is very Italian. Customer service could be better here. Not very attentive, and had to wait a bit when it came to order food, or receive food. As for the most important part of this review, the food! The wings I ordered were overly salted, pizza looks great but taste could be better. Not quite a go to spot for me while in Haines City/Winter Haven. read more

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. read more

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. read more

So we recently moved to the area and are on the lookout for our new local pizza stop. (Please send recs my way!) I will say Floridinos makes the cut so far as our top 3! We always passed this driving and we stumbled in since an event next door was slam packed. We waited about 25 mins for our pizza - we took it to go because we knew the crowd was coming. We ordered their specialty pizza which was delicious! Crust was on the thinner side, a little small for a medium but the quality of ingredients was fresh. Also a nice crispy crust. We got the fries with sauce and cheese and they weren't really pleasing. Very soggy, which is expected due to the sauce smothering them. They used potato wedges, but I think thin crispy fries and sauce on the side would be better presentation and texture. The menu is super playful! My parents mentioned their dinners were alright. But for a pizza, I can recommend trying this place if you are also new to the area. The ambiance is very inviting for families. Spacious and they have a waterfront in the back with an enclosed deck. read more

I always love coming here with my family! I'd recommend their wings or pizza muffins! Their waitresses are always very kind and attentive as well. Lovely view of the lake as well. read more

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. read more

We walked in and saw plenty of open tables. We were told to put our name and number on the wait list and it shouldn't be long and that they would text us. We watched multiple people walk right in and get sat at the empty tables. We were never text fo a table and were told it would still be a wait. The servers lied and did not care that we were overlooked. read more

Waitress does not care about her job only reason I'll come back to this place is to eat and tip her nothing.

I've seen the lot is usually crowded and the views are stunning, so we were pretty excited to try it out. Upon entering, a sign asks that you wait to be seated. This becomes an issue when close to ten minutes and multiple staff pass by with no acknowledgment. I went to stop someone walking by in order to get a table. To be fair, they were busy, but I'm not sure that warrants crickets at front of house. We were sat at a wet table that smelled of wet rag and at this point, seriously considered leaving. Being hungry and seeing how busy it was, we decided to stay. Our server was seasoned and friendly. Our drinks took a while and as we reviewed the ever confusing menu, we decided to order some alcoholic drinks. Drinks arrived and we had to step out front quickly. I found our server and let her know we had to step out, but would be right back. She said no problem. When we came back about three minutes had passed and our table was cleared. She brought us our drinks again and took our order. We ordered the crazy bread and the pepperoni pockets as an appetizer. The only thing crazy about the bread was the cost. It otherwise compared to dominos. The pepperoni pockets were very good! I ordered a spinach gourmet calzone and my partner got the sun-dried tomato pizza. The calzone was as described on the menu. That said, I longed for the calzones of NYC with heaps of ricotta, mozzarella and spinach sautéed in olive oil, onion and fresh garlic. What I got was essentially a cheese bread with a hat on. Chunks of unseasoned tomatoes, fresh unseasoned spinach and mozzarella cheese-that's it. No seasoning of any kind, outside of the charred taste that all the items had from the oven itself. The sauce had a sweetness to it and this also was just...a far cry from what I'm used to. He said his pizza was cooked well, but lacked flavor. They're in business a long time, so something is going right. However, for me, it missed the mark on all levels. At the end of the day, you go out to eat for the food, the food here was less than Sysco quality. We won't return. read more

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 read more

My full size calzone (vs luncheon sized) was very good.The other 6 people at the table were satisfied with their lunches as well however the people who ordered the soup and salad said although the soup was good, there just wasn't enough of it. It appeared to be less than a cup of soup in the bowl. One person ordered soup to go and it was delivered in a styrofoam (12oz?) cup with a cap. How your supposed to drive home holding the cup is not well thought out As hot soup spilt on a driver can be a real issue in safety. BTW they charge 3.75% when using a credit card. read more

What an unexpected gem! I'd stopped in Winter Haven to see a friend and was headed back to I-4 and noticed a few places on the lake and decided to stop for a late lunch. We were warmly greeted by staff and told a booth would be ready in few minutes. We could have a seat in the lobby or look around. There were seats in the lobby but there were also large cases of scrumptious, to die for, looking desserts by the cashier's station. Our table was ready but it was hard to pull myself away from the desserts. Our server was very friendly and seated us at a nice booth by a window with lovely view of the lake. Unfortunately, it was raining or we would have chosen to sit outside on the deck. Our server promptly brought our drinks, but the menu had so many tempting choices it was really difficult to make a decision. We finally decided on the sundried tomato penne pasta with chicken and the spinach cheese pizza bread with marinara on the side. While we were waiting on our food I decided to check the desserts again. The food came out while I was checking out the desserts. It was so delicious and very generous portions. I could only eat half of the spinach cheese stuffed bread and my husband had some pasta and bread left as well. The server was extremely attentive and frequently refilled our drinks. In addition to the left over food, we ordered tiramisu, orange cake and key lime pie to go. I had dinner for the next day and three days of desserts. The prices were very reasonable and we will definitely come back when we are in the area. Everything was positive and I wish we were close enough to visit frequently. read more

On Saturday May 30th 2026 I phoned in an order around 5:15 pm. I ordered two Penne meals with meatballs. I told the person taking the order that the last time we ordered the same thing. I explained that the meal lacked sauce as it was dry. At 6:45pm We picked up the order after an extended wait. When we arrived back home and opened the boxes we were stunned. Not only was there a lack of Penne Pasta but the sauce was next to non existent. The meatballs were a joke. No flavor at all. Even the bread sticks were like rubber.We could have cooked up a batch of pasta and poured some Ragu on it and get a premade meatball from Publix and had a far better outcome than what we had at Floridino's restaurant. A total waste of time and money. You can bet your bottom dollar that we will never patronize that establishment again. read more

I won't ever eat at Olive Garden however if an Olive Garden opened next door to this place, this place would be out of a business. In other words, when even Olive Garden would be better? It's bad. We had four different dishes. The salad comes out w "vinaigrette" which is straight oil. Our salads were covered in oil. The dinners had zero flavor. Extremely small portions. The chicken parm is a hard chicken breast. It was all terrible. Spaghetti and meatballs? The sauce was a dark weird red color like the sauce would be spicy. But no. I think it was just old or burnt sauce. Two tiny meatballs. So sad. read more

Floridino's Italian Kitchen is in Lake Hamilton, FL. There is a beautiful view of Lake Hamilton inside the restaurant. We visited for lunch today and sat at the bar. Everyone is very friendly and the bar has lots of tvs to watch sports. I ordered the lunch calzone and antipasto salad. The lunch portion is HUGE, the dinner portion is even bigger. We also ordereed wings. Let me tell you, if you take nothing else away from this review. GET THE WINGS. Also, don't look at any other sauces for the wings, Get their signature sauce. Just don't! I'm not saying they're not good, but when you have perfection with the signature why bother. It has the perfect amount of heat but a sweetness of orange as well. (Insert chef's kiss here!) I hope you give this place a try! read more

Nice building with a good amount of space. Its on the lake and I was thinking how cool it would be if they built a dock out back where boaters could visit. I am excited that there is a brewery opening up nearby. Parking can be tight and spaces limited as they get busy. On our first visit it was busy but we didnt wait long for a table. Staff worked hard and did a great job despite the business. All the food was great. Pizza was really nice. They had a good selection of food. Lots of good desserts. This might be our new Italian place. read more

Eat here last week look at the charges and the waiter decided he needed a better tip. First our service was so slow we ended up not eating there had to take it to go took 40 min then as soon as we say we need it to go poof it appears the server never not one time even checked on us. I will be calling management I tipped the guy it was small but still there but to just go ahead and tip yourself 30 dollars I will never order anything but takeout from here again. If you come here make sure you're watching the amount they decide to steal from you. Also stick with the pizza the pasta was terrible. read more

Been here many times. Food is always great. Normally do the same thing, but decided to try something different. Had their Cuban sandwich with fries and boy it didn't disappoint! They don't press it like a real Cuban, but the flavor was great! Wife had a Margherita flatbread and that too, tasted great. A little too heavy on the olive oil though - made it dripping with oil/grease. Waiters, as usual, we're very attentive and it is great that you can have a cold beer and watch the games! Great price too, for everything you get! read more

Pretty good got the chicken artichoke salad, it was great!!!! I will go back again and would recommend.

I took my daughter for a mother/daughter day, and I was so disappointed. The mozzarella sticks were frozen and then fried. They were not fresh. They tasted old and awful. We were craving Italian food, and what we received I could have purchased in the supermarket. The marinara had no flavor. I will never go there again. If I could give less than one star I would. read more

The friendly staff at Floradino's was able to accommodate our semi large group by seating us right away. We order our drinks and food as normal which was pretty good. While I ordered a non alcoholic drink some in my party ordered the special, pint beer on tap. When the waitress handed out the pint beers they were notably smaller than a pint. They were actually just 11.6 ounces (I measured) they were the Stella Artois 33cl glass as scribed. I brought this to the attention of the waitress but she didn't seem to know how much a pint was , saying the glass was a pint. No manager around to ask. This is a lot of pilfering aka stealing... Buyer / drinker beware! The pictures I shared are showing the cup they gave us. They advertised it as a "Pint" (16oz) but it actually is 33 cl = 11.6 ounces read more
