Our restaurant and pizzeria Maestrale it's the wind that brings good and bad weather in the Italian peninsula. Our small family owned place is open for dinner six days a week. Our dishes originally are from Puglia in south Italy: la puccia, focaccia, mozzarella, orecchiette, panzerotti and the sea food dishes, the famous Pugliese olive oil as well as the fine selection of wine are a must! The atmosphere is friendly, family style dining, and also for romantic and special occassions, inspired from the old style elegant Italian restaurants where you feel just like at home, alla salute!

    A country French inspired and focused menu that was impeccably presented. The dishes were delicious... scallops with risotto, rack of lamb, and beef burgundy... a bistro atmosphere with floor to ceiling windows providing an elevated downtown fine-dining vibe. Add in the terrific service providing the food and wine, and the Christmas lights on Venice Avenue right across from Centennial Park and you have... well... a lovely dinner to celebrate the season's Happy Holidays!!!

    This was the fifth time we had dinner at Ophelia’s and it was awesome as always. The staff is so friendly and helpful, everything was timed perfectly. I had the best duck ever and my wife had lobster risotto that was amazing. It’s so good they were able to recover from the recent hurricanes! We will be back soon.

    The food was excellent and the waiters were friendly and helpful. However, they were seriously understaffed and that caused several problems with the service. Just one of the problems was that after waiting 25-30 minutes for dessert, the waiter told us he had forgotten it. And it was difficult to get anyone’s attention.

    Our server must of have had too many tables. We did not receive the exceptional service that we have experienced in the past. The food as always was exceptional, worth every penny spent on the marvelous steak. The piano music was so loud that we could not have conversation at the table. I realize that it is Christmas party season so that accounts for a bit of noise in the restaurant. We will be back again after the holiday season when we know that service will be back to the exceptional standard of Micheals on East
