The Write-Up
Chroma brings saturated color and a lively buzz to Lake Nona Town Center, a modern small-plates room built for passing dishes around the table. The signature move is the Parm to Table fettuccine, truffle pasta tossed in a Parmesan wheel until every strand shines, backed by whipped ricotta crostini, charred octopus, and caramelized Brussels sprouts. Guests say Chroma never disappoints, though service can stretch when the room fills, so settle in and let the plates arrive.
