“ A review said this place was a hidden gem, and they didn't lie. Everything I tasted was cooked to perfection. They seemed to he short staffed, but LC did as good as someone could possibly as possible. He accommodated our seating needs, gave us a complimentary desert for my wifes birthday, and was a great host. The shrimp alone was great, but the shrimp scampi was amazing. You can taste the high-quality olive oil they used. The chicken and shrimp fettuccine were both amazing as well. They tasted even better once we took them home. The mashed potatoes were good but a little grainy for my taste. The burger was arguably better than the fettuccine, and the steak fries were a perfect accent to the burger. We sat outside the restaurant with a beautiful view of a pond surrounded by trees with the option to dine outside if we chose to. The inside was equally inviting and I even saw a classy private dining area for special events I assume. The takeaways were my food came out late, due to short staffing, but As I mentioned earlier LC compensated us for the wait. He did bring out Chicken Fettuccine instead of shrimp but again he compensated me by giving me the chicken fettuccine free and still giving me the shrimp fettuccine I ordered. The look on his face said everything and I could tell he was being genuine and doing his best, something I truly appreciate. Next time I am in Orlando I will for sure he back, I may go back again before I leave. ”

“ If you’re in Orlando and haven’t been to Calypso Bar & Grill yet, you’re seriously missing out. This place is a whole vibe! Located right on International Drive, it’s got everything—tropical cocktails, flavorful food, and live entertainment that makes you want to stay all night. I had the shrimp cocktail to start, followed by their signature Ossobuco, and wow... just wow. The staff made us feel like regulars even though it was our first visit. Whether you’re out with friends or just want to unwind with some amazing food and music, Calypso is the spot. 10/10 would come back! ”

“ We had the spaghetti and meatballs, fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp, calypso burger and loaded fries. Food was amazing. Great atmosphere for tue family. Also have a great drink menu. ”

“ A hidden gem in a prime location! We stumbled on this place by accident but are planning to come back many times! Driving up to it, it we weren’t sure if it’s even open. But so glad we decided to give it a try! The service was superb! The manager himself spoiled us to a delicious wine in a beautiful new wine glasses. Then the food started coming - and all of it was delicious but the star of the show is the slow cooked pork shank presented as an ossobucco. It’s a fall off the bone, finger licking tasty! Definitely worth of a return visit to try other dishes and desserts that looked divine! ”

“ 100% recommend! My friend and I wanted a nice quiet meal and happened upon this. Do not hesitate, go! The pork shank and mashed potatoes were amazing, the drinks were on point and after dinner we sat outside around the fire pit. Great laughs. Excellent over the top service. When I come back to Orlando I WILL be coming back. ”

“ Very nice place. Two distinct areas. One bar and grill and another are with more fine dining atmosphere with white table cloths. Food really good. Scallops special and pasta dishes very nice. Check it out! ”
