Reviews for Rodello's Italian Restaurant in Leesburg, FL
We arrived for a late lunch (2:30 pm) and tried their Antipasto Salad with their house made dressing (blood orange vinaigrette).... It was delicious, and was enough for 2 to 4 people! I had their Shrimp Risotto and hubs had their Sweet Italian Sausage pasta. Both were delicious! Our service and food was great! Will be back again! Update: 10/6/22: visited again today and we had thebroccoli cheddar soup (delicious). For our entrees, I had the Shrimp Risotto (again) and hubs had the Mignon and Fiocchi. Everything was delicious!!! Jackson was our server and he did a great job! Read more
Finally made a point to try this place and I am super happy I did. The service was quick and friendly. We were seated right away... even with it being the dinner rush. Our server was very helpful and attentive. She was amazing! Our drinks were never empty, andshe was very helpful with our menu questions. The food was delicious and extremely affordable. I had the mignon and 4 cheesefiocchi in a bleu cheeses cream sauce and balsamic reduction. It was cooked and presented perfectly. This place will now be mynew go to for Italian cuisine in the Clermont area. Read more
Service is mediocre as is the food. My wife, not Italian, had the seafood pasted plate and and was pleased. I ordered the veal... and asked if it was ?real?, which my server acknowledged it was. Real does not mean a veal patty tenderized by using a tool todo so. My veal was COLD ,full of gristle and I complained to server, which she did nothing about. My wife ordered a Bloody Marythat was much to strong, bartender did appear to offer little help saying it was a prepared mix. My soup appeared without aspoon. By the time my server appeared I finished it with a fork. The spoon for a small cup was a ?shovel ?, it was so big. Iasked for bread and the Italian bread was lightly toasted, you only toast to pass on old bread. The place is nice and could be agreat place if management considered fixing problems. Not once did a manager appear at my table to review problems. I believe my pasta was reheated because the pasta had absorbed most of sauce. I don?t think I?ll return , my advice to management is: ?ittakes years to build a customer and a minute to lose him? Read more
Fantastic food and cold drinks. Well worth the price. Friendly staff as well! Mignon with pasta is excellent and the red snapper... with shrimp, mussels and clams over risotto is amazing! Definitely stop by if your in town. Read more
Lunch in the lounge with customers who are buying in Arlington Ridge. No photos because I was too hungry to take the time.... House salad then Grilled Shrimp on risotto with a very delicate lemon butter sauce. So good. Will definitely order it again.Also, one person in our party had the same as me and the other had Portabella Gnocchi, which he really liked. ???????? Read more
Great dining experience. First time to the restaurant, just moved into the area. Very nice ambiance, well established... restaurant. Around me I saw very nicely prepared dishes and good looking pizza?s. My wife and I chose the spaghetti fra diáboloand a beef filet fiocchi. Both dishes were expertly prepared and served. Our waiter Fernando was very professional andattentive. We will be back! Read more
1st I called 7 times to be forwarded to a message that said they were closed. Knowing better I decided to just show up to order... out. When we arrived the restaurant was not busy at all; maybe 15 tables throughout. John the Host approached and apologized forthe phone not being answered and being told the establishment was closed. He directed us to the bar to place a togo order and wesat....and sat....and sat; finally greeting us with "What can I get you folks to drink?", was Ray the bar tender. Who was toobusy before this; like 6 mins, performing bar back duties instead of his own. Finally we order and Ray says "thank you, it willbe a few mins.". He does not speak another word to us until time to cash out. No Ray! You'll not be receiving a tip from mywallet today. Not an offer of water or anything else for our wait or inconvenience either. Instead choosing to engage inpolitical conversation with knock off Polo wearing, imposter cologne, wannabes and their Lush ladies with them. The food isHORRIBLE. We live 5 mins from restaurant. Our seafood is rubbery, chicken too! The calamari appetizer is burnt and the lemonbutter ice cold. For the price on these meals; the presentation should be amazing. Instead the food is in non sealed left overboxes. Spilled in the bottom of bag was, all his chicken marsala juice. A bowl of soup I get with my meal is not even equivalentto a cup. And cold also. This was a horrible experience and it would benefit our community with the growing potential alreadyproven; to remove this restaurant and bring in another with decent Chef's. My advice here....Do not waste your money or yourtime. Very unhappy! Read more
Ordered take out one night from them and I'm upset I waited so long to try them! The food is delicious and I love the options... they have. I ordered the seafood pescatore and it was more flavorful and delicious than I expected! Can't wait to go back. Read more
