My favorite little, local restaurant is definitely Tarantino’s Italian Restaurant in downtown Kissimmee! Tarantino’s is family owned and operated and has been serving local customers and their family’s for 18 years. As they say, “If you are visiting our area, please come see us for a home cooked meal” and the food really tastes just like a home cooked meal! I love the Chicken Marsala. It is unlike any other I have ever tasted. I’m not sure what they do differently, but it is fantastic! My mouth is watering now just thinking about it…YUM! The other dish I love, and the main reason for going, has to be the home made Tiramisu dessert. It is phenomenal! The atmosphere is great, it is very clean, and the staff is very personable. They have a full service bar and you can get lunch or dinner. They are family owned and operated, so they are closed on Sunday’s and Monday’s, but it is well worth waiting for. They will also host events and are very eager to make your event wonderful from start to finish. They have family recipes cooked to order and my family and I highly recommend them.

Three Sisters Speakeasy

I would have to start my story off by explaining the circumstances of finding this restaurant. One of my best friends was in the hospital on Oak Street in Kissimmee for eleven days. When he first went in, he was in intensive care so we could only be there during specific times. At one point, when we couldn’t be in the room with him, we realized that we hadn’t eaten all day. So we decided to venture out to downtown Kissimmee. There we found the Three Sisters Speakeasy. It was cool that I went there with my dear friends that are like sisters to me. (One of them is the wife of my friend that was in the hospital.) We ended up eating there a couple of times since it was so close to the hospital. This corner restaurant isn’t the largest on in the area, but the atmosphere is very nice and relaxed. It has a bar area and seated tables inside . Outside they have a few tables set up so you can enjoy the night air. The the restaurant is is fashioned after three sisters that actually ran a speakeasy during the prohibition. It is reasonably priced with a simple menu. If you ever want to break free from chain restaurants for a decent Philly cheese steak sandwich and sweet potato french fries, I definitely recommend Three Sisters Speakeasy!
