Vesuvio College Park - Reviews

My experience at this restaurant was disappointing. The Margarita pizza was served cold and required reheating. The bruschetta tasted stale. Despite spending $131. 00, the server was not very attentive. We will not be returning.

My experience at this restaurant was marked by unfriendly and unprofessional staff. It felt like being bossed around by rude locals. The staff were also intrusive, listening to conversations over shoulders. I believe there are way better places in Orlando to get Italian food.

WTH? SO many fan favorite items removed from the menu. Gone are lobster ravioli, seafood risotto - all risotto actually, no more filet. No more taste of Napoli. No mashed potatoes? Really? Chicken Marsala without mashed potatoes? You have never been gluten free friendly but now you truly don’t offer anything a gf person can eat. There are plenty of pizza joints in college park. We have been regulars for many years. Sadly we will not be back. I foresee a gone out of business sign.

It was a beautiful Florida day, so we chose to eat outside. My experience was fantastic! The food was heavenly, and the drinks, while pricey, were beyond words. I was particularly impressed with the tiramisu, which was the first in Florida that I'd say is very close to the real thing my grandmother made. The service was amazing. All together, it made for a perfect birthday meal! 💚

I visited this restaurant for the first time with a friend. I ordered the Insalata Di Pollo, which had ample, favorable, and moist chicken breast. The croutons were surprisingly extremely tasty and not over hard, and the salad was finished with generous amounts of shaved Parmesan and Caesar dressing. My friend participated in the "Magical Dining" menu, a 3-course meal for $40 that benefits charity. He started with calamari, which were small octopus pieces and unfortunately, MANY were overly chewy. For his entree, the Salmone Sofia was excellent, and his dessert, the tiramisu, was "to die for". While the food choices were good overall, there were a few issues. I was also disappointed that the lunch menu lacked a pasta with meat sauce.

My experience at this restaurant was largely positive, with good food that really stood out. While the parking situation wasn't the best, the delicious food more than made up for that minor inconvenience. The atmosphere was rated a 5, and the service also received a perfect 5. It was a quiet and pleasant environment, making it easy to talk.

My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. The service was great, but unfortunately, the food was a significant letdown. While the calamari was good, everything else fell short of expectations. The pasta water was not salted, and both the veal and pizza lacked seasoning, making them the blandest Italian dishes I've encountered. Even the Caprese appetizer was bland, with subpar tomato and mozzarella. I had to ask for salt and pepper. As I'm new to the area, I'm unsure if this is typical or just an off night.

We didn’t have a reservation, and the owners were kind enough to offer us a seat at the bar. The service was exceptional and the food was delicious. We will definitely be back and highly recommend this neighborhood gem.

My experience at this restaurant was wonderful. The food was delicious, and the service was incredibly warm and accommodating. The staff went above and beyond to make my elderly grandfather feel welcome. Their kindness, in addition to the great food, makes this a place worth a second visit. Thank you.

My experience at the restaurant was fantastic, particularly with the food. The ossobuco was absolutely amazing, described as fall-off-the-bone tender with a delicious sauce. The gnocchi served alongside it were scrumptious. Other members of my party also enjoyed their meals, with the carbonara, pollo babo, and pizza bianci all receiving great reviews. For dessert, I had the limoncello cake, which I found to be delicious. The service and atmosphere were also highly rated, with scores of 5 for service and 4 for atmosphere.
