🦐Seafood or 🍝Italian?

If you’re hungry, this email isn’t going to help because it’s all about food.

We’re lucky that the Central Florida area is full of great places to eat. There are always new restaurant openings and plenty of categories of food to choose from.

But today’s debate only deals with two types of food: Seafood and Italian. If you had to choose one, which one would it be?

Tripadvisor recently ranked the best seafood and Italian restaurants in Orlando. Take a look at the lists and see if there are any restaurants you’ve tried before or any that you’d like to visit soon.

So, what will it be this weekend? Crustaceans or cannelloni? Pan-seared salmon or pasta?

Magical Dining Month returns soon

Visit Orlando’s annual Magical Dining Month is returning in August.

If you don’t know what Magical Dining is, it’s when people get the chance to eat three-course meals at some of the area’s best restaurants for $40 per person. Yes, the price has gone up.

This all begins Aug. 26 and runs until Oct. 2.

Visit Orlando, which runs the promotion, says it has 102 restaurants participating this year.
