    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.

    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

    I highly recommend this restaurant. It has delicious food and friendly staff. You can also enjoy a gorgeous and relaxing view of Lake Hamilton.

    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!

    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.

    NOT EVEN CLOSE TO A LARGE CALZONE.

    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.

    Manicotti meatballs
    Susan R.

    My girlfriend and I came in and she got the sun-dried penne, pasta dish, and I got the manicotti meatball! Wow, it was so good. Tasty the sauces were perfect. Our server Carlos H very friendly very accommodating. Service was very organized and accommodating to everybody's needs. The ambience here was true to the family feast of Italians. Definitely will not disappoint you.

    Roaches

    Ordered the artichoke grilled chicken salad. The chicken was a frozen precooked patty that was sliced up. The chicken was really salty because of all the preservatives and with fake grill marks. Service was good but while sitting waiting for my. salad i saw a huge roach crawling in the floor. After eating I felt sick and won't come back.

    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!

    Service is decent and so is the food. I'd prefer if they sat us in the order that we arrived but seemed disorganized in front. The view is amazing!

    Pepperoni pizza
    Elizabeth C.

    Love the food here the pizza is always cheesy and the dough is soft. The salad is full of meats and cheese the way I love and the cannolis are the best part, sweet ricotta filling with chocolate dipped edges. The service is friendly and the noise level is medium.

    First time I enjoyed this wonderful Italian restaurant. I was very impressed with my whole…read moreexperienced. 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.

    This was my first time visiting Carrabba's... despite some of the reviews, I enjoyed my time here…read more The service was great, quick and efficient. 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!
