What an amazing place! We love supporting local places and this is such a gem! The food was delicious Anna the B service was outstanding. My wife had minestrone, my granddaughter had a child’s pasta plate and I had chicken Alfredo. Everything was served hot and fresh. They have wood fired pizzas made to order and even bake their own bread. The decor is spot on, with seating both inside and outside. A must if you are in the area.

Amazing homemade food, family ambiance, and very friendly service. The appetizers are out of this world. I can't pick a favorite, yet . The main dishes are meticulously crafted. I can't never leave without a dessert, sometimes to go, because once you're there you must try the lemon cake . Totally love this place!

Review: 5 stars Had lunch here on Sunday, and it was amazing! The place is cozy and welcoming. The house salad was fresh and delicious, and the gnocchi Bolognese was clearly homemade and full of flavor. The service was excellent, and they even brought me a sample of their lentil soup, which was fantastic. Definitely deserves 5 stars, and I can’t wait to come back!

I was happily surprised to find they have a separate vegan menu. I enjoyed my soup and chocolate dessert very much. My dad said his wedding soup (he's not vegan) was too salty, but when he added water to it, he enjoyed it, too. They asked if we had a reservation, but they took us when we didn't because there was extra seating available.

I wish I can give more than 5 stars. This place is a must, family owned and you feel that from the moment you walk in, the restaurant is small so I definitely recommend making a reservation! The service was outstanding, always making sure we were good and were not missing anything. The food was amazing, everything made from scratch and very fresh. Definitely try the 5 Chesse Fonduta for appetizer, is amazing. Everything was delicious from the house salads to the entrees to the desserts to the cafe latte. They do have outside seating as well, this is definitely a great restaurant to the charming Historic Downtown Kissimmee area, definitely come try it.

Best restaurant in town? Well, certainly is one of the top ones. Service is excellent, not expensive at all, and food oh my, extraordinary. It has that homemade taste because it's homemade for real. The menu goes from italian and some Argentinian dishes which are my favorite. You need to try out their empanadas, especially beef and chicken ones.

The food was delicious. Everything looked beautiful and as my daughter said “its a place we want to go to again.”They also have indoor and outdoor seating. My daughter and I went to The Italian Joint at about noon Sunday and ordered half Margherita and half cheese with shrimp as an add on. Mozzarella sticks were very flavorful and favored by my daughter. The pizza was delicious and the shrimp was grilled to perfection. Service was fast and staff were very patient with us being it was our first visit. Reservations could be made but walk in is allowed. Parking is on the street and quite accessible when we went. Price was reasonable for the quality of service and food. Food was made fresh and you can observe the wood grill.
