Cafe Trastevere
825 N. Magnolia Ave., 407-839-0235
This seemingly too perfect cafe looks like a grand old Italian villa that just fell out of the sky and landed on Magnolia Avenue. With its intimate outdoor seating, this is the perfect place to bring a loved one or celebrate a fancy occasion. So, break out the bubbly and grab a table outside as you enjoy your meal; we suggest the filet porcini dish, a filet mignon topped with dark sauce of cabernet and wild porcini mushrooms.
