The two owners used to sell their pasta out of Tornatores restaurant but now they have their own shop. While I was there the owner was making gnocchi. They offer so many types of fresh pasta starting at 5.95 and I wanted to buy one of every variety. They offer about 6 or 7 kinds of ravioli. They have containers of made in house marinara (7.95) and meat sauce so you can purchase everything you need to cook up a pot of pasta. For dessert they have tiramisu, pistachio and ricotta or Torta Della Nonna by Bindi. The frozen pizza has unique toppings. I bought the zucchini and at home the pizza baked up to perfection. The pizza was thin and the crust came out crunchy. I loved it. I also bought a tray of lasagna that was frozen. You let it defrost a little and then bake it in the oven. So easy to make and so good. The store offers items in frozen and refrigerated cases and shelves of a few Italian cooking staples. The couple that owns this store are so friendly, happy to explain anything and excited to have their own store. I like that you can buy authentic restaurant quality food at Supermarket prices. Check the weekly hours as they are open certain days and right now close at 3 pm.

We visited Turci Pasta for the first time for Valentines Day. It has been one of the spots I have…read morebeen waiting to go. Let's just say we loved it . It was a pre-paid pre-fixe meal and we were able to see the menu before paying. Dinner was paid by the time we came in. The restaurant was decorated for Valentine's Day and it was truly romantic. We were seated inside in a corner that's resembled Italy. Only issue we had the people behind us were so loud, we could hear there entire conversation. Bread and olive oil were delish! It was a five course meal and everything was absolutely delicious and so fresh. Hoping next Valentine's we come back!

She forgot the bread, forgot our water and we'd have to waive her down for refills, and mis ordered 2 items. We got entirely different items than we ordered. There was no offerings for the multiple errors either which was disappointing. After our last visit going so poorly I can't say we'll be back.

So, , if you read MM's Google review from 2 weeks ago, you'll see little has changed. We arrived…read moreafter church around noon on Sunday. One person was sitting at an outdoor table, there was a table of six and a table of 2 seated ahead of us. The last page of the menu states food is prepared "a la minute," so prepare yourself for a 15-40 minute wait for your food. If this is the case, we'd like to recommend the owners put out some bread and butter for the patrons to munch on as they prepare for the long wait. We watched as the table of 6 food came out rather haphazardly and certainly not all at once. We happened to have a coupon for a free appetizer, so we ordered the Crab Dip and a side salad to start along with our main entrees of "Fall Off The Bone" Ribs and Octopus Rissoto as soon as the server came by to take our order. So, 4 tables for her and she was by herself and the owner was in the kitchen cooking the food. The server bumped this review up an extra star. After sitting, waiting for quite some time, we had to ask the server if she could at least bring out the salad, and she said it was coming next. We'll, the Iceberg salad, came out along with the lukewarm Crab Dip and chips that could have been fresher. So, we ate those, and the main entrees were ready to come out as we finished the dip. The server brought out the fries and coleslaw and then we waited for the entrees to follow. The Octopus, surprisingly, was the best item. The rissoto was too dry for us. The ribs were the worst we've ever had dining out. Even with the sharp knife provided it was tough to cut the ribs apart from each other and the backside was burnt. Again, we were told the owner was cooking. These ribs should never have come out of the kitchen. We ate 2 of the 4 ribs and asked the server to take the other 2 back and present them to the chef along with our remark of them being the worst we've ever had when dining out. The server took the ribs back and removed $5 off the $17.99 ribs. As we left there was one table left finishing up their meal. The owner had every opportunity to come out and address the ribs and our dining experience but apparently chose not to do so. Anyway, we dine out at least twice a week and prefer to give the smaller mom and pop establishments are hard earned money. So, I implore the owner to go back and read MM's review from 2 weeks ago and realize nothing seems to have changed in our eyes. We won't be returning either as he/she had every opportunity to receive feedback in person while we were at the establishment. By the way, the server didn't know we were getting a complementary appetizer when she gave us the $5 off the ribs and we have no idea how she came up with that figure. Service was very good from her with what she had to deal with in the kitchen.

And when I say it's robust and full of flavor, some don't even need sauce. You can literally pair it with veggies and olive oil and you have a meal.

Being that we are all from New england, the chowder wasn't the traditional new England chowder that we are used to, however, it was very delicious and tasted more like a vegetable chowder in my opinion.

They have a nice centerpiece bar and the raw bar is open for you to peruse. We sat in window booth table combo and ordered our food. The tuna Poke tacos were pretty good. A nice crunch on the "shell" and the aioli was tasty too. The side of avocado mash was also a nice compliment. Did not want fries so ordered a house salad. SCORE. It was huge. Only ate half and partner ate the rest. The fish and chips had a good crunch on them too with them being nice and hot and not soggy at all. The fries were nice and crunchy too. Overall a do over by all accounts. Our server was pretty good but as we were the only folks in the place as they just opened we had several servers that stopped by as well as one manager. I imagine on a weekend night it is a pretty cool place to hang out with the ocean right there. Not cheap but overall I think a good value. We will give the dinner menu a workout soon.

Still 5 stars since I can't bump it up another notch. They have their staples like Chicken Parm, Lasagna, Bolognese, Shrimp Fry Diavolo, Puttanesca , Piccata, Gnocchi, and a variety of delicious pizzas and appetizers. There are too many to name. This restaurant can stand on their own with their standards. Where they stand out is with their specials. The chef here is always innovating and trying some new dishes. I wish I could get a notification of what's on the menu each night. I've had some amazing surprises with the taste and presentation of these dishes. And when they have wedding soup (Christmas time), I definitely make sure I go. I feel like part of the family when I go here. They always recognize us and some of the staff even resembles member of my extended Italian family. They cook better than my Italian grandma (shhhh, don't tell her). They also just opened a sister restaurant (Amalfi) down the block so they're taking over Avalon Park! I've been here a lot and plan on going a lot more. Some of the best Italian food in Orlando! So glad it's close to my house!

Zoey's Pasta 145 Ridge Center Dr, Davenport, FL 33837…read more I took my best friend out for his belated birthday and he chose Zoey's Pasta because he had eaten there before with his wife. Unfortunately, it was a huge disappointment. The restaurant was completely empty, and ordering was done only through a screen -- no human interaction at all. It felt like we were still in the COVID era. The food arrived in small brown paper containers with plastic utensils and cheap paper napkins. It honestly felt like fast food, not a restaurant experience. To make it worse, gratuity is requested on the ordering screen, and there's no option to rate the service afterward. The pictures on the restaurant's website are also misleading compared to what we actually received. I would not recommend this place
