Linda’s La Cantina may be best known as Orlando’s oldest steakhouse, but don’t overlook its chicken parmesan. The restaurant’s retro charm, sunken fireplace, cozy booths, and walls lined with old Orlando photos, sets the tone for a meal rooted in tradition. The chicken parm fits right in: straightforward, comforting, and lovingly old-school. A well-breaded cutlet fried to a perfect crisp gives way to tender chicken, topped with a tangy marinara and an indulgent molten layer of cheese. It’s the kind of parm that feels homemade in the best way, simple, satisfying, and quietly nostalgic. For classic Italian-American comfort in a timeless setting, Linda’s delivers.
