“MUST EAT HERE!!! I'm a diehard fan of Carrabba's but after coming back from Rome, I wanted to try something different and go to a local family Italian restaurant. It's crazy when you don't realize what's in your neighborhood. Please overlook the surrounding area and how it's connected to a run down hotel and just enjoy the inside atmosphere and the quality food. Why wasn't this place packed on a Friday night? Maybe because of the location but it's worth traveling and steering away from your normal chain of restaurants.The fresh garlic loaf they brought out to the table that was soaked in olive oil and fresh herbs was spot on.Appetizers: Bruschetta (bread had a wonderful crisp with fresh tomatoes and balsamic vinaigrette) and Fried Mozzarella Cheese (x2 nice size triangle shaped, but would've enjoyed x3 or x4 for the price).Main Course: Gnocchi di Carlo (the wife actually said this was comparable but had many different flavors that jumped at you then Rome had), Veal Parmigiana w/Fettuccini Alfredo (huge portion size with awesome flavor and fried just right. Needed a little more sauce. Fettuccini tasted fresh and flavorful).Dessert: Homemade Cannoli (you can tell this was not frozen or refrigerated but was actually homemade. Awesome)As far as other comments that stated there prices increased or was outrageous, ignore that. There prices are adjusted as they should for the portion size and the fresh food you receive.Thanks for an amazing dinner and we will definitely be back!“
“There should be a line out the door for this place! Food is excellent!! We LOVED the pizza (plain and pepperoni)- some of the best we’ve had and we eat pizza in NJ and NY. We also loved the garlic knots, light and slightly crispy on the outside, not too doughy- perfection! Sauce was delicious. We went back for the pasta and were not disappointed. The fruitti de mare was to die for! Seafood super fresh, pasta homemade delicious, sauce amazing!! Lobster ravioli were yummy too. The bruschetta was made with the same very fresh ingredients and tasted so good. We ate here 3 times in the 5 days we were in FL! We will miss it when we leave. Place was very clean and service wonderful!!! HIGHLY recommend!!“
“Great Brazilian pizza. Exceptional service and the food is delicious. We ordered a 50/50 Via Capri/Mineira pizza, it was very good! The atmosphere is also very pleasant, ambient music and ideal temperature. It wasn't the first time we ate there and it never disappoints. I recommend it!“
“We decided to hit up Jersey Spot on the spur of the moment. We ordered through Grub Hub and were not disappointed. We got the two custom pies, antipasto salad, a grinder, and some desserts. We are new to Kissimmee and now have found our go to Pizza place!“
“This is definitely a hidden gem of the Kissimmee/Orlando area! Between the touching history of how this cozy little Italian eatery was formed just a few years back, to the delicious homemade sauces, you cannot go wrong! The portions are some of the largest I’ve ever seen, with the quality unwavering! 5 different meals, 5 top tier pastas (Plus dessert!)! Thank you so much Laura for outstanding service and Harold cooking up the best pasta!“
“I live in Tampa and needed to find a very special place for a family bachelorette dinner. A friend suggested The Italian Joint. What a gift!Weeks before I began texting with Erica, the owner. She was incredibly responsive and eager to help me design an event that met my budget and biggest hopes. Every step of the way, Erica made it so easy for me to plan from a distance.My daughter-in-law to be was the bride. She loves Taylor Swift so I suggested guests to have some fun and wear Swiftie attire. I say this to share how amazing Erica is- not only did SHE greet me in a sparkly jacket but she played Taylor Swift music the entire dinner event for us. I could not be more grateful or pleased. Her family and servers were equally kind and pleasant.The homemade food was generous and delicious.The wine was outstanding and several ladies asked me to share the name.Do yourself a favor and go get a great meal there or plan an event.I’ve held events before and can say no one has been more helpful and competent.Thank you, Erica, from our new family by marriage.“
“Thank you for making my kids birthday memorable . We enjoined a great birthday dinner among family. Outstanding staff, the meals were great as always. Everything was served right and quick. Everyone from the staff were taking good care of us. For sure I will always recommend this place.Everything was delicious.The only complaint I have, was the Tiramisu was almost frozen at some parts. I’m giving 5 stars anyway, because you guys rocks!Vegetarian options: All good and tasty“
“At first we thought it would be a horrible experience. Waited almost 1 1/2 hrs for the food, however it was so worth the wait. We were nervous because of the reviews. That was not the case. It was amazing. Delicious!!!! I only gave 4 stars because the service is slow and the wait.“
“First time here, food was spectacular! Everything was fresh, hot, and made to order. The mofongo was soft and stuffed with chicharron. The jumbo shrimps were full of flavor and not hard and chewy. The best beans I’ve ever had, you could eat them by themselves literally. The fried chicken was crispy and juicy. The fried pork was tender and full of flavor. Excellent customer service definitely will be back.“
“This place is definitely our to go for great pizza, wings, gyro & sandwiches . The staff are indeed very friendly and accommodating. Today is our 4th time coming here after attending our church service?. Thank you Friendly's Brooklyn style pizza, for a great family meal❤️“
“Alejandro Camilo Marisela I came to the restaurant in the afternoon I sat down to eat with my friend the team they have during the time I went to eat Super nice they served me wonderfully as always I recommend that you come to eat Olive Garden an unforgettable experience“
“Dinner was fabulous as always but the dessert chocolate dream was so hard and we couldn't eat it. I'm really disappointed because it usually is great! I'd give the dessert a 2 Star rating.Parking: Parking by door was easily accessibleWheelchair accessibility: Easily accessible for handicapped“
“We ordered the antipasto salad, and it was nice and fresh. However, the Margherita pizza was not what we expected. It didn't have any red sauce, just mosarella tomato, basil, and evoo. We've been to Italy a few times and had some of the best Margherita pizzas. They have tomato sauce.“
“I lived in NYC 50 years. I miss my NYC pizza. My husband and I was looking for a pizza that was close to NY pizza. We searched and searched. I truly believe this pizzeria hit it. Delicious pizza, eating the pizza here reminds me of NY Pizza. Keep up the good work.“
“Honestly,The best the best dining experience I have ever had at Olive Garden!! My waitress / bartender Olivia was absolute amazing she was so kind and sweet and she went above and beyond for my family and I!!! She told us it was her first day as a bartender and she did perfect thank you Olive Garden for the amazing experience.Kid-friendliness: My waitress Olivia was soo sweet and treated my kids with kindness and respect“
“This place doesn't look much on the outside, especially since it's part of a strip mall and a kind of run-down area of Kissimmee. However the staff is friendly the food is delicious and it's a decent price as well. Consistently outstanding!“
