I see why the reviews are so high. The pasta is made from scratch with wheat flour from Italy. So all the people with gluten allergy this is a solution right here. It is the orginal wheat before the US started modifying it.
The restaurant is smaller but a authentic Italian place. I spoke with the owner who is super friendly and heard his story.
I was happy to have found this unique restaurant and will definitely recommend and come back again.
Try it out you won’t be disappointed.

Absolutely outstanding experience this evening at Daninos. We were in town on vacation and looking to avoid the touristy areas. We came in based on Google reviews and were NOT disappointed!
This small, family run trattoria serves up delicious, authentic Italian. From the house made focaccia served with olive oil and balsamic through to dessert, we loved everything we tried.
That included a delicious peach, gorgonzola and arugula salad, the house caprese salad, a shrimp and mushroom risotto, the amazing tri color lasagna and a caprese panini. My son had the canolli and dubbed it the best he has ever had.
My husband’s family is Italian and we live in a heavily Italian part of PA. We’ve also been to Italy several times. This place is the real deal, and is an outstanding value for the prices they are charging.
We will be back on our next trip!

The food here is astounding and probably the best italian food I’ve ever had.
Service was incredibly prompt and you can tell the food is homemade.
Will absolutely be returning everytime I’m back in Orlando

Daninos is a cute little family-owned restaurant with a charming interior design and cozy setting. I went with colleagues during lunch, and it can get quite busy, so I recommend going between 11:00 and 12:30 based on my experience.
I ordered the Chicken Marsala and felt it could use a bit more flavor, but my colleague had the Alfredo pasta and it was absolutely delicious. They also served fresh bread with olive oil and balsamic—so tasty that I asked for seconds!
Overall, it was a pleasant experience, and I would definitely come back again.

This is one of the best authentic restaurants we have ever been too. It seemed like a hole in the wall place. Great food, amazing service and just overall great atmosphere.
We had the Daninos pizza, lasagna, pasta with 4 cheese, pasta with Alfredo sauce. The breadsticks were amazing! Freshly made bread and completely warm with virgin olive oil on the side amazing!!!
Totally recommend this restaurant!!!! 10/10 for overall experience!

We read the positive reviews and went while we were in Orlando a week ago. It was even better than we expected. Great food and friendly service too. We had a pizza and pasta dish. The desert, Tirsmisu, was off the charts good. Like you would get in Italy. We will definetly go back again when in Orlando for work. Great find and food.

What a wonderful family run restaurant in the heart of Orlando. Prices were reasonable, portions were great, and the food was delicious. As an out of towner, it was nice to find a place that wasn’t a chain. Make sure you get some of the fresh, hot, homemade bread. Chicken parm and steak were flavorful and our friend really enjoyed his pizza. We will certainly add this to our list of favorite places when we return to Orlando!

Fantastic authentic Italian. Very reasonably priced. We were visiting the area and tried it on a whim. So good we came back a couple of days later! The pasta dishes are delicious. The pizza is crave-worthy. But the best item on the menu was the affogato. Perfect balance of gelato and espresso. So good. We may come back again tomorrow 🙂

When we first arrived we sat ourselves (no host or hostess). After about 5 mins. our server came over and brought menus and took our drink order. We were brought bread and had around a 20 min wait for our food. The food was delicious with large portions. It took a while to get my second tea refill. Our server disappeared and we didn’t see him again. In the mean time the table next to us was a large family. There were 2 servers helping them and didn’t pay us any attention. Finally my wife asked 1 if them for some carry out boxes. We were going to get dessert but after waiting for 20 min and still no carry out boxes, my wife got up and got them herself. We payed the bill and left not getting dessert.
Food was great but service was terrible. I guess texting his girlfriend was more important than doing a good job.
