Best Authentic Restaurants in Longwood

Candace our waitress, made our night extra special with great service. We had a great experience with a personal touch to my girlfriend and I. Unforgettable and blessed night.

Enzo's never disappoints. We had an excellent dinner to celebrate my 60th birthday and 19th wedding anniversary. Our waiter Moises provided superb service.

We’ve been to Greece many times, admiring the cuisine, culture, architecture, and the Cycladic design we love so much. Parea does a great job of capturing the warm, family feeling while incorporating various familiar elements of Greek decor and theming. We ordered cocktails that we enjoyed (Garden, Karpouzi, Not Today Hades, and the Greek Sangria), along with the tzatziki and tirokafteri dips with warm pita bread. The tirokafteri, a spicy feta dip, was the big hit for everyone at the table. They didn’t have the skordalia dip this time (a delicious garlic dip made with small bits of potatoes), but might bring it back in the future. For salad we had the classic Horiatiki (traditional Greek village salad), and the calamari. Both were delicious. The horiatiki was done so well and had a perfect vinaigrette on it. I hope this doesn’t change at all, because it was quite literally what we know and love about Greece! <3 For our main course, we ordered the Chicken Souvlaki, the Lamb Shank, the Cast Iron Moussaka, and the Chicken Tata. Everything was really great, and generous portions. The Chicken Tata was similar to a chicken schnitzel and had a side of pasta. We ended our meal with Mastiha (a sweet digestif that’s much better tasting than Ouzo; you must try it if you haven’t), and the Portokalopita (an orange cake) that were both great. There are still so many menu items we want to try like Phyllis’ Potatoes, Pastitsio, Greek Tea, Saganaki, Spanakopita, Beefteki, Tiropitakia, and more. It’s so exciting to see authentic Greek brands like Alpha, Mythos (the beers of Greece), Skinos and more. The beauty and hospitality of Greece has arrived to Maitland, and we’re so happy! We’ll be back very soon. I can’t wait to see lunch options in the near future. I’m hoping for fries inside gyros, galaktobouriko, and maybe some Cretan options.

Overall great experience. Food as always is very good and they always have innovative specials. Great wine selection and they offered a special on an outstanding Brunello. They had entertainment that night which was well done a solo sax player added to the ambience of the experience. It is quite loud in the restaurant as tables are very close together and near the open bar. Always a go to when we are in Altamonte.

Gabby is awesome and always takes the best care of us! Mike is also accommodating with last minute reservation changes.
