Papa Lozzi Italia, Orlando FL

We really enjoyed our dinner! Our food was very flavorful and delicious. Our server, Mourad, was friendly and helpful.

Great place must come. The food is to die for, the service with the server, Mr. Torres was simply amazing. The owner is a hidden treasure amazing cook, and the pizza guy is a one of a kind the best pizza I have ever eaten, and let's not even talk about the lasagna and there to die for beef meat balls. I totally recommend this restaurant to everyone. Love it definitely coming back and fast.

Papa Lozzi Italia is a fantastic authentic italian restaurant across from the waterford lakes shopping center in Orlando, not far from UCF (University of Central Florida). Everything was had was absolutely amazing. Thanks to Alejandro (cook & Owner), Rob (cook & pizza maker), Torres (our server) and Maysa (Hostess). These lovely people made us feel right at home. They were so kind to us. The atmosphere was very relaxing and mellow. We will definitely return.

Food was great and our server Mourad was attentive and nice part of the experience. Will be back to try the other items on the menu

My husband and I placed an order online for bruschetta, a pizza, and a insalatina mista. When I tried the bruschetta, the bread was rock hard. We could not eat the bread. When I called, they transferred me to the chef. He proceeded to interrupt me to tell me that the bruschetta bread is supposed to be hard and that I am supposed to put the tomatoes on the bread and wait 3 mins so the bread could get soft. Are you kidding me! Is this your excuse for old, rock hard bread? I told him the tomatoes did not soften the bread. His attitude was non-apologetic and talked to me as this was the first time I had bruschetta. Let me inform you guys that I have eaten bruschetta in many places. This includes one of the best Italian restaurants located in Washington DC called Tiramisu by chef Luigi Diotaiuti. Our dinner included bruschetta. It was delicious and I did not have to wait 3 mins for tomatoes to soften the bread because the bread was not rock hard. Absolutely ridiculous! BTW The pizza and sald was good but do I want to pay $12.75 for chopped tomatoes with cheese bc the bread is hard and can not be eaten? NO!

I frequent this restaurant and love the food and service every single time. Authentic scratch kitchen, delicious food, great service, and awesome specials. Mourad is a wonderful server and always has a great attitude when describing dishes and making recommendations.

Great food and even better staff. Maysa and Mourad are both awesome and really take care of their customers. They keep me coming back.

Came here on a random Monday and had such a great experience. Chef Ricky and the bartender Torres took such great care of me. The mussels were amazing with the perfect amount of spice. The branzino special was top tier. Will definitely be back for more.

Went in about 5: 15 on a Wednesday. Not very crowded at that point (which was perfect as we were dining with my young son). Lexi was our server. She greeted us warmly, took our drink order and brought out some fresh warm bread.
We orders the calamari to start, delish! A perfect fry. There were mushrooms and squash fried along side it, but it was a huge portion of calamari.
My son had spaghetti - he ate more than half of a huge portion. I enjoyed the caprese app as my meal, delish motz and very fresh tomatoes and basil. My dad had penne a la vodka and couldn’t get over how well it retained the heat. Shared a tiramisu (light, fluffy, delish) and each had a cappuccino for dessert.

Restaurant was clean, great ambiance and noise level. We will def be back and would be more than happy to have Lexi take care of us again, she was awesome.

We come with a couple of friends. We all order pasta, and some appertizes. I ordered the carppacio which had a hand full of yellow and soggie old looking arugula on top.my friends order the calamarie, which was super grease.
My pasta was tasty, however my friend order the bolognese past which had a weird taste and color and it had pasta clumps on it.honestly I will not be coming back.

This place deserves 5+ stars!

The food was amazing and Torres made us amazing personalized drinks (he deserves employee of the month:)

Food was delicious, service was great and the atmosphere has a great ambiance. Recommend it and will go again.

A hidden gem near UCF. Food is delicious and excepcional service. Our server Mourad, was great. The best homemade pasta. Highly recommend

I ate here tonight and everything was delicious. Everything was homemade including the pasta. The service was great. I would highly recommend.

Especially great Italian food. Spaghetti alla Vongole was amazing. The Penne alla Puttanesca was incredibly flavorful. I was pleasantly surprised at how great the food was.
