Reviews for The Italian Joint in Kissimmee, FL
Great Italian restaurant with the ability to create outstanding vegan options fir their customers. We picked up pizza Friday for... Lunch I had to come back Saturday to get another Vegan Margarita pizza with my wife. That cheese was so good you couldn't tellit was non dairy. The atmosphere and cleanliness of this place 5/5 star. Our waitress was very knowledgeable when it comes tounderstanding the menu and what it takes to insure people with food allergies get their orders correct. LOVE THIS PLACE! Read more

Delightful scratch kitchen in downtown Kissimmee. Prices reflect the quality and care put into each dish. Very traditional,... flavors are outstanding. Service was prompt and very friendly.

We decided we were craving Italian after a long day at Universal Studios. After googling places close to where we were staying... we decided to go with The Italian Joint which was way out of the way but the menu seemed like it would be pretty good. Instantlyafter walking in the place smelled amazing. We got the Chicken Parmesan and the Pasta Vodka and it was honestly the best Italianfood we have ever eaten. It was phenomenal!!! Not only was the food great but the staff were very attentive and just awesome. Read more
A late lunch at The Italian Joint in Kissimmee. Entering, you notice a smattering of tables but it opens up in the back as it... gets busier. We sat by the window overlooking the downtown sidewalk. We ordered an appetizer of The This and That consisting offried cheese triangles, calamari and garlic knots with a marinara sauce. The sauce was very good and thick and the plate wasdelicious. My wife ordered the Mak?in It Caprese Salad which was a huge Caprese salad with fried eggplant and two large piecesof mozzarella in a light vinaigrette dressing. My lunch entree was the Zuppa, pasta with clams, mussels and shrimp in a lighttomato sauce. The only thing the Zuppa was missing was fresh grated cheese in which was delivered on request. Both meals wereperfect and the server was friendly and quick. Prices are reasonable for the amount of food you are given. Probably one of thebest Italian restaurants in the south. Read more
If you want authentic Italian food... DO NOT GO HERE!! If I were able to put a zero star I would. Definitely a ?you get what I... make? type of place. We ordered ?grandma?s goodness? and ?pasta perfecto? both meals came out watery and flavorless. We let thelady in the front know that we respectfully would like to send the dish back. The service was distasteful. She went and got thechef and because he was personally offended he kicked us out of the restaurant. As I?ve seen on other reviews the restaurantlikes to respond and I quote ?It is a pity that you did not let us know at the time to try to solve any inconvenience that wecan verify.? We did this and we were told to get out of the chefs home. He made a scene in front of other costumers and it wasvery embarrassing as we even offered to pay for what we ate? what a pity :/ The video will be posted on googlemaps. Edited: We told the waitress that we did not like our food. We did not ask for the chef?who came out of nowhere tellingus to leave because he felt offended about our honesty. We offered to pay for what we ate and were told and I quote ?I don?tneed your money? Read more
As I opened the door, I was moved to a different time and place. An Italian crooner is playing overhead while the smells of... fresh spices and the sight of the fire that burns in the cooking hearth: Italian food at its finest. I grew up in aSicilian/Italian neighborhood in Connecticut and The Italian Joint has transported me to the rich memories of my youth. Food isprepared and brought together to become friends on my plate. There is a chill atmosphere here, life feels right and in today?srushed world I already feel the relaxing embodiment of what my Soul needed. A lady nearby is enjoying her salad and soup lunchspecial, Pasta e Fagiole. She tells me for the same cost of a non-satisfying meal that she has had a million times, that insteadshe can relax. Isn?t that a nice defining word? Truly it defines my visit, too. I?m relaxed. I?m not in and out of quickly, Isavor the experience. Had I wanted a quick meal I would have gone up the street but it would not look like this, taste likethis, or calm me like this meal. I ordered garlic knots, you?ve had them a million times yourself but when was the last timethey were covered in flavorful cheese dripping in garlic and oil? 6 were on my plate, I?m bringing 3 home and I?ll tell my wifeit was only 4 served. I dinned on the DaVinci Chicken lunch serving and left with enough food to sate my palate for anothermeal or two. I?ll have to transport it in the trunk otherwise I might peek in on it. Accidentally of course. Does a meal likethis need to be eaten every day? No. But when the stresses of life, politics, and stupid COVID-19 bring me down, this will be mygo to therapy. Because the right environment can be therapeutic and here we are all friends. Unless you touch my plate. Thenall bets are off. I don?t know how the Lemmon cake landed on my table. Read more
