Anthony and I ate at italio recently
while I was in Orlando … this place seems to be one of those in a growing trend
to redefine fast food. It’s very similar
to Chipotle in their set up … as Anthony put it “it’s an Italian Chipotle” LOL
You order either a Pasta Bowl,
Piadina (an Italian wrap made with traditional Italian flatbread) or a Salad
Bowl then you are given options to add to it … meats (or veggies), sauces and
fresh toppings.
I had a Pasta Bowl and believe
me it is a whole lotta food! Mine
started with Traditional Pasta (you have a choice of traditional or whole
wheat), with grilled Chicken and Basil Pomodoro (crushed tomatoes, garlic and
basil) for my sauce. Then I had them add
Fresh Baby Spinach, Sliced Red Onion, Fresh Basil and Freshly Grated Parmesan Cheese. Anthony and I shared a Basil Pesto Italio
Stick (made from Piadina) and served with Basil Pomodoro Sauce.

The food was very good … not sure how healthy
but I guess that depends on the choices you make when you have your dish custom
made. I definitely want to eat here
again when I’m back down that way … not only was the food really good but the
atmosphere and décor are pretty cool.
According to their website they only have 3 restaurants, thus far, but
have 3 more coming soon … all in Florida (so far).

A great place to eat if you
love Italian and are looking for something fresh and fast! Check out their website and menu here: italio
