This restaurant is an absolute gem! The incredible food, authentic atmosphere, reasonable prices, and exceptional service create an unforgettable experience. It's like a mini vacation from Orlando, and I can't get enough of it!
Il Pescatore is a "Mom and Pop" style restaurant that serves a variety of Italian cuisine and homestyle comfort food. Its staff is friendly and accommodating and quick to address customer requests, questions or concerns. Ava, our server, ensured our food was cooked to order and promptly delivered. During our meal, there were several diners who appeared to be regular customers of the restaurant which a good sign where the locals eat.
24 Jun 2023. 8:30pm First time visitor to this wonderful, family-owned restaurant. We discovered it simply passing by. We always prefer family-owned restaurants over franchises/chains. The restaurant is very quaint. Reminded me of the cozy Italian restaurants I used to visit when growing up in Queens and Brooklyn in the 70s and 80s. We ordered the Stuffed Eggplant and Chicken Marsala, came with dinner side salads and garlic bread. The food was as good as the pictures look... And the pictures look VERY GOOD 🤣 We always try some of the sauces by themselves before anything else. That's our litmus test for good Italian food. If the sauce isnt great, the rest of the meal won't be either. The red sauce was not overly salty and was nit too sweet. Had a good tomato flavor and was slightly on the acidic side ✅ The Marsala sauce was not overly salty, had a rich darker color and strong wine flavor ✅ and, the mushrooms were visible and sizable. Nothing worse than advertising that a dish contains mushrooms and then finding lots of little l, hard to see bits and pieces. See the pics. You get MUSHROOMS here. Our server was great.... He was friendly, attentive and prompt. The only suggestion I have is to ensure the Stuffed Eggplant is hot in the middle of the layers. The top and bottom were hot, presumable from the oven heat. But the center was room temp. I didn't want to complain, because I was hungry and I didn't want to wait before I could dig in 😏... a simple thermometer check could prevent this in the future. Never the less, the quality and flavor is excellent and we will definitely be back to try other dishes.
