We came here after a long day at SeaWorld with the kids still in their swimsuits. Nobody cared. The veal piccata was unbelievable and the parking lot was right there. Best Italian we had all week.

Found this place because it was near our hotel. Ended up having one of the best Italian dinners of my life. The limoncello cake is incredible. We came back the next night.
