I went there to celebrate my friend's birthday; we were a group of 10. ALL ITALIANS. The food was almost identical to what we really have in Italy; all dishes were cooked perfectly and the quality of the ingredients was perceivable. Nice and friendly service. I highly recommend this place to those who really wanna have a taste of Italy.

They have really good pizza here and dessert. But we had an open table reservation and we had to wait an additional 30 minuets past our reservation time, even though they had many open tables.

We had read great reviews of this restaurant and decided to try it for ourselves since this was our second stay at Hilton/Waldorf. I have an allergy to garlic, not a dislike, and explained this to our server. The chef informed her that there really was not much for me to order on the menu with this allergy, so I safely ordered the salad with shaved asparagus for my entree. When I returned to my room, it didn't take long to find out that there was garlic in my meal. I'll assume that it was in the dressing, but was not informed. The night before we ate at Ravello at the Four Seasons Hotel and they were able to adjust their menu for my allergy and provide a delicious pasta dish and appetizer. This is the first time staying at Disney that a meal has gone this wrong. If you have an allergy, try at your own risk.

Our family stayed at the Waldorf Astoria and took the golf cart ride over to enjoy La Luce. We were absolutely blown away with the service, quality of the food and most of all, the attention our children received. Our server, Mounir, was very attentive to my husband and I - and ensured our children had everything they needed. The hostess, Dalisa, was so welcoming and accommodating. She found us a perfect table - that was right by the wood fire oven. Chef Dannilo asked if the children wanted to make their own pizzas ...... we just expected they would 'watch' .... but instead he led them through each step of the process making them feel like they were the professionals! He brought out chef hats for them and was so kind with allowing us to take multiple pictures. I highly recommend this restaurant and 'pizza making' experience for every family that visits the Bonnet Creek area.
