    My black partner and I went into this restaurant and asked to use their phone in an emergency because we had one phone and it was out of power. They would not let us use the phone. The blonde waitress came back after asking management with a smile on her face and said "No." I then asked management directly to use the phone and they he said no. So we decided to leave (we made no fuss about it and said nothing), then management proceeded to open the front door and pop his head out so he could then stare and eyeball us, as if we had done something wrong (when clearly we did not). You can take from this what you will. But I would never ever eat at this restaurant unless you want to be treated in this manner. What restaurant doesn't allow someone to use their phone in an emergency, then follows them outside to stare at them? All of these actions were definitely done because of a bias towards my partner. They showed their true colors. You could not pay me to eat there. The people who work there truly have disgraceful biases and horrible service.

    VIP slice

    We were out one Saturday and saw this spot and decided to pick up a few slices of pizza. I'm super picky when it comes to pizza so I was skeptical. We sat down and there were plenty of other families there eating so I knew this was a popular local. Our waitress was very knowledgeable and made my food choice an easy one. I got the Gino's special which contained a perfect mix of veggies and meats. My daughter got the VIP stuffed slice which is an enclosed in pizza slice with meats and veggies inside. We got our slices and they were pretty big! Both were very tasty and filling. The pizza definitely got my approval as a picky pizza eater. I would go back for my pizza cravings. They have a nice variety of creative pizza combinations.

    The atmosphere at Gino's is so warm and inviting. From the moment we walked in, we were immediately greeted and sat. The staff is so friendly and the service was amazing. We started off with the Garlic Bread With Cheese, which was so yummy and cheesy. For my main I got the Eggplant Parm, which was a huge portion with perfectly crispy eggplant. My husband got the Chicken Parm, which he enjoyed. We finished with a slice of the Carrot Cake, which was a bit dry but had great flavor. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience and I look forward to returning.

    Gino's is located in Oviedo in a shopping venter along Alafaya, parking is plenty in the area. I had walked over her from a neighboring tire shop to grab a bite for lunch while waiting. It was a weekend early lunchtime and I was seated right away. I ordered a special they had on the board as I walked up. It was a shrimp & Penne dish and also receive a soup. The waitress was friendly and provided her recommendations when I asked. THe meal came in a reasonable time and it was pretty tasty. The dish was sizable and was more than i could consume in a sitting, so I boxed it up and took some home. Because I arrived early for lunch the restaurant was not busy and the atmospheres was pretty quite. I can image during a busy hour that would be different given the space. This was a good meal and I would definitely try Ginos again in the future.

    Creamy Shrimp Pasta

    First time eating here was great! It's a shame it wasn't busy for a Friday night but maybe this is more of a mid-week place to eat. Upon entering it smelled exactly what we had hoped for in an Italian/pizzeria and we were immediately glad to be there. We were greeted and seated promptly with drink orders underway. Pleasantly surprised by the beer and wine prices as they seemed more affordable than most places (under $5 for a Stella?!? Amazing). Unfortunately the Shock Top my husband ordered wasn't served with an orange slice and we had asked about it but they either didn't have it or our server forgot - he was fairly new to the job but was very attentive otherwise. Either way Not a deal breaker. I opted for Gino's "Famous" Stromboli (HALF!) with pepperoni and added ricotta and my husband got the Creamy Shrimp Pasta special with fettuccine noodles. We were both really impressed with our selections. The marinara sauce served with the Stromboli was perfect!! Not too tomato-y and not too sweet either. Oh and I must add the crispy-ness of the crust for the Stromboli against the creamy mozzarella and ricotta was everything I hoped for. I should add I ordered the "half portion" which was more than enough for 1 person - I actually could only finish half of the "half"!! Moving on, My husbands pasta was so flavorful! The pasta was a white Alfredo-like base and had bacon and created this wonderful creamy, salty sauce for the pasta. It was really an excellent value. It came with a side salad (or soup if that's more your speed) and warm, fresh French bread. The French bread was really a wonderful starter and wildly different from like garlic knots or bread that often served at similar establishments. They do have those on the menu but we had not tried them out. Our server, Stone, was excellent and knowledge. Overall very pleased with our experience and the value. Gino's - we will be back!

    So I'm torn because I loved this place before they expanded and then they went downhill. We have had this pizza at our parties for years and always got compliments then came the renovations and expansion. While I love the new space and outdoor seating and dog friendliness we had a less than Stellar dining experience the one time we chose to eat there but chalked it up to an off day. We had good service but the food was just meh. We have ordered takeout since then but have not returned to dine there. Today we went and while I wasn't very hungry it was nice to sit outside. The waitress was great and the gelato was yummy and the beer special was a nice surprise. However the thing that soured my mood was when the bill came and I got charged $4 for extra dressing with no warning. A whole bottle costs that much so I truly did find this absurd.

I also enjoyed the walk through of the menu and the different dishes/pizza ordered. My friend and I started with the Burrata. It was phenomenal. I loved the flavor of the balsamic glaze. The rosemary focaccia bread was superb. For pizzas we decided upon the Star Beckham and the Marco. I really enjoyed the star shaped pizza. The triangle crust was packed with a good amount of ricotta cheese. There was lots of toppings and some of the freshest ingredient pizza I've ever had. The Marco pizza was good getting to try the stracciatella cheese for the first time. The restaurant is really cute. Its an intimate dining room area and you can see into the kitchen seeing the pizzas cooking. I had a great time here and a great meal.

We were lucky enough to have a free meal voucher from my girlfriend's work, so we decided to spoil ourselves. To start, we had the burrata e crudo, and between the fresh cheese and the addictive rosemary bread, we were practically fighting for the last piece. The prosciutto was also spot-on, and unlike the pre-packaged stuff you get at the supermarket, it was perfectly marbled and didn't have any of the annoying stringy bits of fat that get stuck between your teeth. You can just tell that Mister O1 really cares about the quality of every single thing they put on your plate. Next, we each got the star-shaped specialty pizzas, with my girlfriend getting the Star Beckham and me getting the Star Carlos. Both of these pies blew us away with their flavors and freshness, especially with that creamy warm ricotta folded into the Star-shaped crust. Some people might not usually like pizza crust, but trust me, even the most vocal crust-haters will reconsider when they try a slice. Now, the extraordinary thing about Mister O1's pizza is that they take the traditional Romana-style approach to pizza -- thin, light, and crispy. Unlike the glorified sponges sopping with oil that you find at your local Pizza Hut, these pizzas were so light on the stomach that bloating is nonexistent, and some of my more gluten-sensitive friends have even been able to enjoy their pizza without any issue. If you're full-blown Celiac or vegan, don't worry; they've got vegan and gluten-free options too! To finish our night, we ordered the Nutella and banana calzone, and honestly, whoever came up with that idea needs a big fat kiss on the mouth. It was stuffed with ooey-gooey warm Nutella, and the banana slices were practically spilling out of it as we tore away at it. If I hadn't been full from eating my entire pizza in one sitting, I would've ordered another. If you have kids, be careful sharing this with them, because they'll turn into piranhas over this desert. All in all, Mister O1 has quickly become our favorite pizza joint near UCF, and I proudly give it five big booms of approval.
