Enzo's on the Lake is the perfect place for a congenial evening of cocktails, fine food and wine, lavish desserts and very special hospitality. Whether you are entertaining for business or pleasure, having a birthday celebration or just a romantic dinner for two, we will do our best to keep you satisfied.
In 1980, Enzo's on the Lake opened as a lovely secluded lakefront restaurant, built in the style of an Italian villa. The restaurant is dedicated to the idea of simple yet sophisticated cuisine. The freshest fish, meats, fruits and vegetables that can be obtained are woven into a menu that emphasizes a unique culinary heritage and diversity. An extravagant antipasto bar welcomes you to the excitement of the dining room overlooking the lake. There is a full service european style bar, private dining areas for meetings and parties and the lakeside gardens where many weddings concerts and gatherings take place.
We look forward to serving you!
"This restaurant was delightful, a very quaint and charming white stucco mediterranean villa. The rear of tne restaurant is a wall of windows, which overlook the gardens and the lake beyond.
The service was very friendly, efficient and attentive.
We enjoyed a wonderful cold antipasto for an appetizer.
The Bucatelli with porcini was a bit too salty and dry, but the Fettucine crustaci, in a rich cream sauce,with shrimp and huge lumps of lobster meat was exquisite and perfectly seasoned. It was delicous.
All in all, a lovely setting, with very good northern Italian cuisine and as romantic as advertised. We will go back again, since their menu has a lot of potential. It is very good, indeed. Go here and you won't be disappointed."

"Overall restaurant was very-good.Service was excellent...my only reason for not giving a perfect score was the fettuccine alfredo seafood special was lacking a reasonable portion of seafood; the dish was described as also having asparagus spears...mostly stalks.Antipasto salad we should have been asked what we would like for selection...but in there defense we could have mentioned our interest...very friendly and accommodating.Ambience was very good; would recommend window view.Our table was right at hall entrance.Noise level was acceptable that provided a relaxed atmosphere"

"We celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary here. The antipasto appetizer was very unique and delicious, chefs choice. We had the seafood special and lamb chops that were outstanding. Would recommend this for a special occasion."

"Had great expectations but after arriving and being impressed with the ambience and view my date and i were deflated slowly after being seated by the very slow service and meal. After being seated we waited a good 15 minutes for a server who offered us water, it arrived 5 minutes later, another 10 minutes went by before being brought bread, and so it went. The meal itself was uninspiring, appetizer, salad, and main course. My date returned her pasta for being overcooked and dry. Will not return!"

"We love Enzo's. you're welcomed there as a friend as soon as you enter. In the world of cookie cutter restaurants Enzo's is a warm, welcoming, breath of fresh air. The Carbonarra is awesome. The bread is sinfully good. The environment is warm and charming. Enzo's is perfect for a quiet, romantic dinner."

"I was lucky enough to have a surprise birthday party organised for me at Enzo's The staff were incredibly helpful in allowing family memebers to stay hidden until my husband and I were seated We were allocated to the private room and with 4 grandchildren included in the celebration it was perfect. Our waitress was absolutely wonderful and just made the evening so much fun and so very memorable for me. She intereacted with the children in their menu choices and they had an absolute ball. The food as always at Enzo's was superb, particularly the veal dish. Enzo's is always our first choice for a special occasion or just an intimate dinner, always always memorable. ."

"Very good first experience. The food was very good and the service was top notch. The price was a bit high for the portion size, but well worth the quality."

"I found Enzo's on my first business trip to Orlando about 20 years ago. It was amazing as every dinner there ever since has been. I am a foodie who travels on business 100 nights plus per year for 25 years so I have a lot of dining experience. Its worth the drive from anywhere in the area you will be amazed by the food, the ambiance and the staff. What a hidden gem!"

"The food at Enzo's is expensive, but it is always good. It is worth spending the money if the overall experience is good. This time however all the workers were in a bad mood! I got yelled at by the hostess, ignored by the bartender, told to move by the busboy and not so great service from the waiter. When I am spending $500 for a meal, I expect good service! Enzo's fell way short. Enzo's really does need to do a remodel. It is old and musty smelling."

"It has been over 15 years since we last dinned here, and when we arrived, it was like we were there last week. The food was good, staff efficient ...... Could use a bit of updating, new chairs, flooring et , without changing the charm of the restaurant. Wine list a bit limited and quite expensive."

"Think of Enzo's experience as an high-end Italian family restaurant somewhere in rural Umbria, in a farmhouse looking west over a lake, the food is just as good (in some cases, even better, the Carbonara, for instance), the atmosphere just as relaxed (blue lake, orange sunset, paintings and sculpture). The big difference between Enzo's and that fictional Umbrian restaurant is the service. Enzo's staff offers that precise, timely, considerate, and friendly service that Americans expect for their high-ticket dollar, quite the opposite of the Italian model.
Awesome place. Make sure your server builds an antipasto plate (or two!) for you."

"Enzo's is an Orlando star whose sparkle is starting to wear off. The food is still good but not great. The room is still great but the service is just tired. Maybe they have been packed for so long the staff just can't keep up any longer or maybe they don't remember how good the service was when Enzo commanded great effort all the time. Still great, just not the best anymore."

"First time at this restaurant but sure I will be back. Went for a nice dinner with my girlfriend who has been before. Both are meals were amazing. I got the nights special potato fennel bisque soup for a appetizer. Was very good as well, great flavor and not to overpower with the fennel, just right. We didn't get dessert because we were both full from are generous plates of their homemade pasta. But are waitress Kaitlyn brought us a tiny slice of there chocolate ricotta cake. My girlfriend had a couple bites, and I made room for the rest somehow and was not disappointed one bit. Overall was very satisfied with are service and are entire meals. Will be back again for sure and would highly recommend it to everyone I know"

"This was a very nice dining experience. Nonetheless, there are a few notable things. When we walked in half of the rester aunt was empty but the owner asked us to wait in the bar "no bartender on staff" so we requested to be sat. I had to order Wine before I was able to look at the menu, which was strange. Food was very good, wine list limited if you want to order Napa or Sonoma wine. With that said, it is a great place for a special accession (she will love it)."

"Italian cuisine just can't be done any better than this. This is food that Multo Mario wishes he was making. The antipasto is the best anywhere, and I've been to Italy numerous times. Although the regular menu is superb, the special are always the way to go. The pasta special was a homemade spaghetti with mushrooms and smoked chicken that had everyone at my table talking about "best ever." The waiters aren't UCF students, but trained professionals who do this as a career, not a summer job. The art work covering the walls is as special as the food, and only adds to the enjoyment of being able to eat with your eyes. If you've never been, this is a "must" dining experience not to be missed. Bravo!"
