Cafe Murano

Cafe Murano in Altamonte Springs sits along Cranes Roost Park, offering a relaxed, lakeside setting that pairs naturally with its classic Italian comfort fare. The chicken parmesan arrives with confidence: a large, hand-breaded cutlet fried to a deep golden crust, generously cloaked in melted mozzarella and served with a choice of sides (including veggies, if pasta discipline is calling). The chicken is juicy with a satisfying crunch, the breading well-seasoned and never greasy. The marinara leans rustic and balanced rather than sweet, giving the dish a homestyle feel. It’s not a boundary-pushing parm. It’s steady, comforting, and thoroughly satisfying in a charming neighborhood spot.
