Adriatico Trattoria Italiana

First time coming on the weekend of Valentine’s Day and I have to say we had a wonderful experience. The server was knowledgeable about the menu and I took his recommendation from the specials which I found superb. My girlfriend had a salmon which was by the far the best I’ve ever tasted. Unfortunately we were unable to try the wine (20 y/​o) but despite that, we will be coming back for many more occasions!

Never lets us down. We booked a table for two a day before Christmas Eve for Christmas Eve and were surprised they had availability. It was Prix Fixe for the evening but it didn’t bother us! We brought the babe (9mo) and were concerned as its a date night type of place. The staff was nothing but accommodating and welcoming!
Speaking of food, the Prix Fixe was perfect. Four courses of pure deliciousness. Burrata was on point, Cesar salad wasn’t over dressed, parpadelle with prosciutto & peas was delicious (tasted homemade) and dessert of Panatone with ice cream hit the spot.
Oh, my wife’s lobster ravioli was amazing. It’s the perfect spot for a date night or apparently even welcoming enough for a date night +1!
The owner was incredibly friendly and certainly knows how to run a good ship. Her husband is the Chef and knows his way around Italian food. We will be back for sure. It’s become our regular special occasion place!

My husband and I had a very nice dinner at this locally owned restaurant in College Park before an Orlando Solar Bear game. The service was very good. Many other reviewers have given Peter, one of the waiters, great reviews and we would concur. As for the food it was great bordering excellent. My husband chose a menu staple — Penne Boscaiola — which he announced «this is delicious!» I had one of the specials, Grouper. The fish was cooked to perfection but a bit salty. The vegetables that came with my entrée were excellent! I would recommend getting a reservation as this restaurant is popular with the locals and is intimate in its setting.

They were very accommodating with many request. Prepare a special mushroom pasta off the menu. He was very astute to bring food for the kids right away. Overall very good experience.
The tiramisu was homemade but not very good. Not sweet enough and too much espresso. Everything else was very good. I would come back.
Wines by the glass selection is standard stuff but fairly priced.

this is really 3 ½ stars. I couldnt merit the full 4. I will say the service was great. Ambiance outside could be better and done more tastefully. the food i would say is 4 stars. Not the best Gnocchi i had but certainly nowhere near the worst. seeing their prices i would have thought all their pastas were made fresh inhouse but they are not. I don’t mind paying good money for good food but this just wasnt firing all cylinders for me.

My wife and I were in Winter Park from Connecticut looking for some authentic Italian food. We found this place on Unilocal and it did not disappoint. The service was excellent and the food would make my (Italian) Nana Rose proud! We highly recommend this place.

My boss and I came here while we were at a training in Orlando. He’s Italian so he was looking for authentic Italian food. We Unilocaled this place and the reviews were good so we decided to give it a try. It’s a cute little restaurant, seating is a little close so be sure to like the person you’re going with. Our waiter was super sweet and was very helpful, my boss had the fish of the day which I think was grouper and I had the salmon. He also had the artichokes as an appetizer. The salmon has this amazing Alfredo type of sauce on it! It was delicious!!! It came with roasted potatoes and asparagus. So good! My boss are his food in 2 minutes flat. The whole plate!!!
The owner came out to talk to us; she’s from Italy and is too precious! Her husband is in the back cooking. Parking is street parking and easy. Definitely go here if you’re in the area!

Warm and inviting, Adriatico is the kind of place I wish we had in my neighborhood. Solid food, punctuated by fresh and high quality ingredients presented simply but elegantly, bring high quality and casual comfort in a small and embracing atmosphere. Rosetta, the Sicilian– born proprietor, keeps an eye in her little kingdom, and couldn’t be more welcoming. Service was impecable. On a Friday or weekend a reservation is advised. Don’t forget to try the homemade Tiramisu; it’ll cap off a great meal in a great place.

Wow, what a fantastic true Italian Trattoria! My wife and I moved to Lake Mary from Tampa in March, 2015 and have been searching for a quality Italian restaurant… looks like we found one! I made my reservation online with OpenTable for 8:45pm, we actually walked in exactly at that time and was greeted BY NAME by our server, that was cool. We sat outside and people watched and enjoyed the nice night air. We ordered a bottle of wine and our entrees. My wife had the garden salad, which was fresh and large in size and for her main course had the Gnocchi with Tomato sauce. Now, my wife has a VERY picky palate and she rarely if ever used the word «Excellent» to describe her dish, so, when I asked her…“How is it?” and she replied, VERY GOOD, EXCELLENT, I knew she loved it! I had the lentil soup before my main course and it was very fresh, super hot and absolutely delicious also served in a very large and satisfying bowl. For my entrée I ordered the Spaghetti alle vongole, in a spicy tomato sauce. This is usually my go to dish at Italian restaurants and typically I prefer the white wine sauce, however, the menu had a nice description with cherry tomatoes in a spicy sauce, that enticed me, so, I decided to take a risk… glad I did because it was fantastic. The pasta cooked perfectly a bit al dente just that way it should be and the sauce was divine, just the right amount to coat the pasta and have some left over for the bread swipe at the end ;-) For dessert, I ordered a double espresso and their HOMEMADE Tiramisu, it was OMG good, yes, that amazing, light, moist, fresh, just outstanding! My wife ordered the Ricotta cheesecake and again described her plate as EXCELLENT could it be 2 excellent’s in one meal!!! Our server was friendly, attentive and professional. One of the owners came out side to check on us with her sweet smile and asked for feedback. She was pleased to hear our rave reviews as we shared our Italian heritage hers from Sicily and mine from Napoli. Hope you all get a chance to visit and try this gem, they are the real deal!!!

Excellent. Friendly. Authentic. Not over seasoned. But great taste!
We will be back!

Most delicious gnocchi I’ve tasted. They make the pasta to order and sauce fresh. You can choose between three different sauces. I had the Gorgonzola sauce with the gnocchi as well as a glass of Italian Pinot Grigio. It’s a quaint little restaurant, reasonably priced and delicious food! Have to try it!

Everything was good. Entrees including the veil, pasta, and salmon were all good but nothing mouth watering. I thought the veil was lacking and too paper thin. Mussels were huge and plump and the best part of the meal. Service was good, friendly, and the place seems authentic, but sadly we will not be back. Just didn’t beat out our usual Italian spot in college park, in fact we went there after for gelato.

If you’re looking for authentic Italian using the freshest ingredients this is the place for you. Every time a new dish was brought out I was floored by how fresh it tasted. The bruschetta was DELICIOUS. The tomatoes were excellent. Our entrees were equally awesome. They came hot so you know the chef didn’t have it sitting out all day. Our server was kind of weird though. He was a tall, bulky guy. Very awkward with absolutely no personality. It was as if a robot was serving us. I kept having to ask for refills of my water which I found irritating considering at the time there were only four other tables in the establishment. Besides that everything was great and we will be back again.

I found this little place on Google tonight. We were in the mood for Italian food after spending almost one week at the Disney World trap. Ordered 3 appetizers. Shrimp– this was very good and came with a cream sauce and it was cooked perfectly. Also ordered a calamari in red sauce and it was not chewy and came with a hint of garlic. Nice touch. Lastly the cold antipasto with meats and cheese was excellent. My wife and I had seafood pasta and it was cooked perfectly with lots of flavor. My daughter had a chicken special with risotto and it was out of this world. Everything was cooked to perfection and we will definitely return again when we come back to the orlando area.

This is an amazing place to go if your in a mood for authentic Italian food. I had one of the specials which was the chicken and wild mushroom risotto and it was finger licking good. It was the best risotto that I have ever had and our waiter Peter was absolutely fantastic to us. Always checking if we need anything else. He was such a gentleman. This is a very good Italian restaurant and has very good service. I would with out a doubt come back

I think this is my favorite Italian restaurant in all of Orlando! Our waiter, Peter was attentive and well versed in the restaurant’s food and wine. The food is fresh and all made from scratch. The tomato sauce that comes with their mussels appetizer is to die for. We were all fighting to dip our bread in it. The carpaccio was fresh and flavorful and the capers were huge! I got the grouper piccata special. It was incredible and the potatoes were amazing!!! The dish was so lemony and more of those big capers… I just wanted more. My boyfriend had the lamb shank special and it was also really good. The owner checked up on us during dinner and as we walked out the chef thanked us from the kitchen. Love this place!

Great food as usual. Peter the waiter was awesome as always. Whenever we come to Orlando we eat here.

Thank you College Park. This Restaurant is absolutely amazing. The décor, the service and the outstanding food. Try the Gnocchi, its homemade and heavenly. All the Italian Restaurants in Orlando could learn a thing or two. We will definitely be back!

I can here a couple times for pasta. I had the pasta with clams and red sauce… I prefer white wine sauce but I don’t recall seeing it on the menu (or I would have ordered it).
The pasta was good, sauce was good.
The service was good too.
It is little on the pricey side but I feel that it is justified for the quality of service and atmosphere. It’s a good little spot for a date for sure. I would come here more often if I was a little cheaper.
The menu and prices are on their website.

Great meal! I had clams and pasta, Italian Wedding soup and the best artichoke appetizer ever! Come and enjoy! You won’t regret it!
