La Strega Bistro - Waterford Lakes

Strega Bistro in Waterford was a great experience overall. The food was excellent and everything we had was really well prepared. The menu can be a little confusing at first, but the staff does a good job explaining it. They also have monthly specials, which is nice if you’re looking to try something different. There’s also a happy hour from 4–6 with discounted beers, cocktails, and some appetizers. One thing I liked is that you can customize a lot of the dishes by adding proteins like chicken or shrimp, which makes it easy to build something the way you want. Honestly, you probably wouldn’t even know this place existed unless someone told you about it, but it’s definitely worth checking out. It’s a great spot for a date night or even just a casual dinner. If I had one small suggestion

First time in and we were not disappointed. I like how they have remodeled and lightened the place up. Still being a new restaurant, the staff is also new, but very nice and attentive. We really enjoyed our meal, I had a pasta dish and my husband had a salad with salmon. We shared a good bottle of wine. All so good. We talked to the owner briefly and he was a nice guy. Side note, excited they invested in the sports bar next door, AC’s. Also, cleaned that place up in an amazing way!

Definitely one of the best, authentic Italian restaurants across Orlando. The carpaccio was perfect and the sauce for the rigatoni vodka was excellent. My server JJ was great, made excellent suggestions which led me to saving room for dessert. Everything was so fresh, flavorful, and the perfect quantity. Thank you so much for a great dine in experience. I will be definitely be back!

My family found this restaurant on Google and had great reviews and now we know why! We needed to order take out due to some of our family members not well on Christmas Eve. We placed our order then went to pick it up and had the best experience talking with the owner and the staff while we wait. Only 4 months open in Waterford Lakes area, this restaurant is like transporting to the South of Italy, with tiles from the owners hometown and light coastal decor. It was lovely to chat with everyone and definitely a place we want to return to again and again. The chef is from Rome and the food is the real deal-divine! Everything we ordered was delicious! Bucatini Carbonara, Rigatoni Norcina, and the risotto! As someone who cannot have gluten they were super accommodating and the risotto is all g

Wonderful family-owned Italian bistro! Super authentic dishes, friendly atmosphere and Alejandro was a great server. The warm, fresh bread and homemade marinara they brought out before the meal was soooo good. We had the Brooklyn pizza, Bucatini carbonara with grilled chicken, and roasted potatoes - all were exceptional. They also honor different regions of Italy with dinner and dessert specials, so be sure to ask your server! We will certainly be back!
