Orlando is known for its theme parks, but there’s a lot more to the city than Mickey Mouse and Cinderella. The food scene has exploded in recent years and now there are restaurants that rival anything you’d find in New York or San Francisco. If you’re planning a vacation to Orlando, check out Casiola’s 5 favorite Orlando restaurants that are sure to impress even the most discerning traveler. After dinner, you can relax in a private pool or game room at one of our many Casiola vacation homes nearby.
Prato
If you’re looking for a place to make the most of your time in Orlando, Prato is an excellent choice. It’s a perfect spot for groups, with an industrial-chic atmosphere that can be both casual and upscale depending on your mood. The restaurant is also kid-friendly, so if you have kids in tow or want to take them out on special occasions, this is a fun place for everyone. You’ll find everything from pasta dishes to pizza here at Prato, and don’t forget about their extensive beer list! Whether it’s lunch or dinner, brunch or happy hour: whatever your mood may be, this Orlando restaurant has got something delicious waiting for you.
Ocean Prime
Ocean Prime is a seafood restaurant that you should try if you’re looking for something different than the usual steak or Italian fare. It’s located in the Dr. Phillips neighborhood, which has a lot of great restaurants and shops. Ocean Prime also has an extensive menu with lots of great options from their raw bar, to their sushi menu, to their regular entrées like steak or chicken dishes. Their wine list is extensive as well but offers great deals if you want to try something new without paying too much money. If beer is more your thing then make sure not to miss out on their extensive craft beer selection!
Kres Chophouse
Kres Chophouse is located in the heart of Orlando’s International Drive, which means you can have a great meal there and still make it back to your Casiola vacation home in time for bed. The cuisine at Kres is a blend of American steakhouse classics with European influence, making for a unique dining experience. You’ll definitely want to order the Wagyu Kobe beef filet if you’re feeling fancy, it comes with roasted bone marrow, truffle butter, and an aged balsamic reduction. If you’re not as fancy but still want amazing meat, try their prime ribeye or New York strip steak, both are cooked perfectly medium-rare with just enough saltiness from the buttery sauces and served alongside fresh potato wedges that will melt in your mouth when they’re hot out of the oven.
