Danino’s Trattoria
8273 S John Young Pkwy, Orlando, FL
Crema's Take
“Tucked away from Orlando's tourist corridor, this intimate family-owned spot serves scratch-made Italian pasta and pizza using heritage wheat flour imported from Italy, earning it a devoted following for both its authenticity and accommodating approach to dietary needs. The cozy, hole-in-the-wall atmosphere combined with genuinely prompt service makes it equally perfect for lingering over coffee and pastries or gathering with colleagues, though arriving before the lunch rush will get you a quieter table.”

Absolutely outstanding experience this evening at Daninos. We were in town on vacation and looking to avoid the touristy areas. We came in based on Google reviews and were NOT disappointed! This small, family run trattoria serves up delicious, authentic Italian. From the house made focaccia served with olive oil and balsamic through to dessert, we loved everything we tried. That included a delicious peach, gorgonzola and arugula salad, the house caprese salad, a shrimp and mushroom risotto, the amazing tri color lasagna and a caprese panini. My son had the canolli and dubbed it the best he has ever had. My husband's family is Italian and we live in a heavily Italian part of PA. We've also been to Italy several times. This place is the real deal, and is an outstanding value for the prices they are charging. We will be back on our next trip!
I see why the reviews are so high. The pasta is made from scratch with wheat flour from Italy. So all the people with gluten allergy this is a solution right here. It is the orginal wheat before the US started modifying it. The restaurant is smaller but a authentic Italian place. I spoke with the owner who is super friendly and heard his story. I was happy to have found this unique restaurant and will definitely recommend and come back again. Try it out you won't be disappointed.
The food here is astounding and probably the best italian food I've ever had. Service was incredibly prompt and you can tell the food is homemade. Will absolutely be returning everytime I'm back in Orlando
This is one of the best authentic restaurants we have ever been too. It seemed like a hole in the wall place. Great food, amazing service and just overall great atmosphere. We had the Daninos pizza, lasagna, pasta with 4 cheese, pasta with Alfredo sauce. The breadsticks were amazing! Freshly made bread and completely warm with virgin olive oil on the side 👌🏽 amazing!!! Totally recommend this restaurant!!!! 10/10 for overall experience!
Daninos is a cute little family-owned restaurant with a charming interior design and cozy setting. I went with colleagues during lunch, and it can get quite busy, so I recommend going between 11:00 and 12:30 based on my experience. I ordered the Chicken Marsala and felt it could use a bit more flavor, but my colleague had the Alfredo pasta and it was absolutely delicious. They also served fresh bread with olive oil and balsamic—so tasty that I asked for seconds! Overall, it was a pleasant experience, and I would definitely come back again.
