Enzo's on the Lake is the perfect place for an evening of cocktails, fine food and wine, delicious desserts and very special hospitality. 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: family owned, crafted with love. The freshest fish, meats, fruits and vegetables that can be obtained are woven into a menu that emphasizes a unique culinary heritage. An 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 lakeside gardens and dock. We look forward to serving you!

Enzo's is an Orlando institution and never disappoints. The service is old-world perfection and the food is classic Italian. The new owner has refreshed the landscaping and the lakeside dock and left the chef and the staff to continue what they do best.

The table was not good at all. So close to the next table the waiters rear end was less than a foot from my head when they were at the next table and the staff had to turn sideways to get through. This is an expensive dining experience and would expect better.

Went to dinner as a couple on a Friday night. It took a minute to be addressed by the hostess to be seated. The seating was a bit awkward as we were placed so close to another table we couldn’t have easily conversed with them and had no issues hearing each other. The quality of the food was very good, however, it is a bit pricey in comparison to other restaurants. The carpaccio was fantastic, and the seafood plates were very tasty, just a bit too pricey. In old photos the menu was reasonably priced for the dishes compared to current prices. Whether that be to supply chain issues or the new management that the fantastic server mentioned. The dessert cheese cake was fantastic. The complimentary valet was eager to please and hustled but did bring us the wrong car. We all laughed about it. If we were not moving, I think we would give it another shot in the future.

We celebrated my wife's birthday and almost everything was great. We really enjoyed Enzo's on the Lake. Staff were attentive without hovering. The management gave us a complimentary dessert with candle to celebrate. The noise made it hard to hear each other. There was little if any noise cancelling architecture in the rooms. The mood music was not a problem. We definitely plan on returning.

Enzo’s has been a Central Florida staple for decades. Sadly, Enzo passed twenty years ago, but his namesake restaurant continues his culinary legacy. Where can you find veal Marsala thin cut, pounded, and prepared correctly? Or homemade linguini with an abundance of seafood in a gentle red sauce? Of fresh antipasto? Romantic, great with friends, and wonderful for the holidays. Just make a reservation and go.

Beautiful restaurant. Service superb. Little loud, acoustics aren't the best so we had to lean in to hear ourselves. Appetizers were amazing. Must try the Bruschetta (sp?). Entrees though were disappointing. For the price, expect amazing but only so-so. But have been there before when food was all amazing so maybe just an off night. Would go again.

The food and ambiance of Enzo’s was excellent. Food was great. Service was on the slow side, especially for a nicer restaurant like Enzo’s. Took around 30 minutes to get bread to the table, however service was more consistent as the night went on. Pasta was excellent and cookies for dessert were great.

We dined at 7:15pm. They have complimentary valet. The parking lot is small so I suggest using it. The building looks unassuming and small when you walk up. It was dark when we arrived so we missed sunset due to daylight savings. But we had a window view, would have been great during the day to see the lake and gazebo area. The layout is small. It’s three open concept rooms with about 20 tables. Walking space is limited and the small space makes everyone’s voice amplified. So if you are looking for cozy dim lighting romantic vibes this is not that place. It felt more like we were at Nonna’s house and she invited the whole family to her Italian countryside home and wouldn’t let us leave until we were full. The food was great! We had complimentary bread, bruschetta, meatballs, ravioli, carbonara. We finished everything, it was all so fresh, light and filling but nothing left us heavy or groggy. We had told them it was our anniversary and that we wanted to see the sunset (prior to learning it was daylight savings). They sat us by the window for the view and brought us dessert for our anniversary. A slice of cake with a strawberry and kiwi baked inside, 2 gingerbread cookies and 2 little powder sugar baked goods. As we were leaving, we were so full, we spent $100.00 including tip. I think it was worth it for the experience. Definitely will be back either for lunch or early dinner to enjoy the view.

We always love Enzo’s. Sadly, the Dover sole ,a specialty of the house, wasn’t so great. Usually a delicate light fish, the Dover was tougher and had a strong flavor to it. Otherwise, the rest of the experience was great

for the first time ever, our experience at Enzo's wasnt the best. The service was very slow. we were sitted around 7:30, we got finished with our dinner around 10. The restaurant was very loud. Our group decided that in the future we may have to enjoy Enzo's at lunch, not dinner. We had a hard time carrying on a conversation due to the noise.
