Lido's was our choice for dinner last evening and was a return visit for each of us! Each entrée comes with a very nice salad served family style and "homemade" breadsticks. The entrée is accompanied by angel hair pasta in marinara sauce that is served separately so you can eat as much or as little of the pasta as you... More

Lido's is a small family owned Italian Restaurant located on Orange Ave., Downton Orlando. It's a great place to grab a bite to eat before a concert or sporting event. This place is small and intimate and service and food are very good. They feature old standards such as chicken marsala, veal picata and egplant parm.which are made fresh. Salad... More

Lido's is an Orlando treasure. I've been eating here with friends and family for years and years. The breadsticks are to die for! The salad is always fresh. The salmon is divine. The staff is always nice. You always see someone you know if you live in the neighborhood. The negative reviewers need to go back to their chain restaurants... More

We were there Dec. 22nd for dinner. My companion lives in Orlando so he is very familiar with the options. My choice is always a small owner operated place vs. a chain and this definitely had the feeling that they were happy you came. Food was great, service a little slow but it was packed and we really enjoyed not... More

I've eaten at Lido's since it opened in the early 70's. I don't live in Orlando anymore, but when i go back there I always go to Lido's. The Veal Parm is my favorite!

The food was terrible! The management/owners of this restaurant should be ashamed! I wish there were laws against serving Lean Cuisine entrees at a restaurant, and for trying to charge $13.95-14.95 for them. The service was not entirely professional. Back to the food. The chicken in the chicken madeira was cold. Also tasted like it had been precooked (frozen) and... More

Our meal opened with a bowl of wilted, soggy lettuce that they called a salad. This pile of unappetizing leaves was coupled with a greasy oil and vinegar mixture. It would have needed some salt to at least resemble a vinaigrette. After our party of six used the unremarkable bread sticks to soak up the salad mush, the waitress came... More

I have been a Lido's fan since 1970. I was 16 and took my mother there for her birthday. It was a quiet yet comfortable Italian escape then. I have been back every year since and have always been happy with the over experience. But... in the past few years this place has gone off in the wrong direction. No... More
