"Our family dined at this establishment for the first time tonight, and it turned out to be a gem on the north side of San Antonio. The Yelp reviews were high, so I wanted to experience it for myself, and it didn't disappoint--if anything, it exceeded my expectations. The venue boasts a beautiful, rich, wedding-hall-like appearance, creating a wonderful dining ambiance. Our waiter was attentive, polite, and welcoming. The food was deliciously well-prepared, with flavors that make you want to return for more. Even the owner stopped by to say hello and ensure we were having a good experience--a nice touch of customer service. I recommend the capellini de mare and the pollo alla gorgonzola; both were delicious. In summary, this establishment provides a great Italian dining experience. We'll be back for more."
"I came on a Friday, I was expecting to be rushed considering the wait time and a smaller restaurant. However, It was the complete opposite! I was given refill after refill of bread and water, even before it was empty!! I am a bread addict!! Everything was clean and well managed. My server Brook was quick to modify my meal to fit my preferences and was wonderful at giving me suggestions along with a good explanation for each dish! Food Amazing!! Atmosphere Epic!! Service Great!!If someone you know has already suggested this place. It's a sign. GO!"

"Outstanding Calzone! This was a delivery order and my first from Grampie's. Delicious and of high quality ingredients. We'll be back!"
"The ambiance is nice. The food was flavorful, reasonably priced and delicious. Our server, Chase, was very attentive. Our drinks never went empty and he checked with us often. We watched the manager working hard to help servers, clear tables and make sure everything was running smoothly. We will definitely be back to try more of the delicious options on their menu!!"
"The perfect date night spot! Or even a family night out or with a friend. The food is so good! Lots of menu options for dinner and plenty of desserts to choose from. The portions are large! They also have a drink menu: plenty of wine, cocktails and beer. A singer serenaded us throughout the dinner! It's not upscale but you could dress up here. Or you could come casual (would not recommend Athleisure wear). The shrimp scampi was my meal. I loved that I could taste garlic, shallots and spice in every bite! My husband had the linguini di mar! The sauce was excellent and there was a variety of seafood! The bread that is complimentary felt like heaven. It was so soft and warm. The oil with garlic and basil (I think) made every bite complete. Next time I'll try the lobster ravioli for fun!"
"Door dash !! We tried a couple of pasta dishes this time and they were also nice.ravioli delicious. crab cake very tasty. philly cheesesteak Finger licking"
"First, thank you to Guillermo's for accommodating my large party of 12! My mom and I hosted an event here for Trinity University earlier this month and the restaurant management and staff were so easy to coordinate with. I filled out the reservation form on their website and that same day a manager called me to confirm the reservation and ask if I had any questions. When we arrived, our table was already ready, which was great!Our waitress did a phenomenal job taking care of every person. The majority of our group ordered the lunch specials. Great, big portions means you can take some home for later!I will say I miss the Pepperoni Ranch Salad - I didn't see it on the menu. Hope it makes a comeback sometime!"
"The food was good! I liked the smoked Gouda polenta! Would totally come again. I was stuffed and cleared my plate since I was on vacation I didn't want to waste any of the food. It was in walking distance and had a view of the Riverwalk too."
"The Italian subs and the combo sandwiches here are amazing! Fresh bread, lots of meats, beautiful lettuce, tomatoes and the Italian dressing tops it off perfectly. We always get them toasted and usually end up taking half home."
"Driving for Uber Eats I was so thirsty and I went to pay for a bottle of water and he gave it to me free, he was really kind! Thank You! I will be sure to come back with a group of friends to actually pay you back! I appreciate you sir! The kid with the pink hair and the Starbucks hat!!"
"As a child, I ate at Lucianos many times at malls. The latest I wanna inform y'all is their Sausage, peperoni, Salami, and Ham Stromboli. Man oh MAN!!!! The cold and hot cut meats along with what I felt as melted provolone cheese stuffed in a dinner (not sweet) pastry is a fountain of the wonderful feelings you get as you munch onto them. Plus the marinara to dip your meal into. Remarkably comforting!!! This is an Italian meal to eat again!!"
"We went on a very busy Friday evening. We've always wanted to try this place out bury never had the opportunity until now. When you walk into this restaurant, I felt as though I was transported to a small Italian restaurant nestled in Venice...it wasn't the decorations but possible just the building itself that reminded me of restaurants in Europe. Although the place only has window units, it wasn't as hot as the 100°+ heat outside and it was welcoming. Note to everyone: make reservations for Friday or Saturday evening as they are packed! We didn't know this and the lady asked if we wanted to sit outside and because it was nearly 110° outside we asked if we could sit inside. She stated they were completely booked but she will do what she can. There was a large group of 15 that had reservations and her and the owner, Luigi, made accommodations to fit my family of 4. You can tell the atmosphere was one where these people are regulars the way the owner interacted with them. The menu was extensive and had everything for everyone. They also gave you complimentary garlic bread that were beyond amazing! This can be a meal in itself! They came out piping hot and fresh! Beware, you can get full off of these alone! One is not enough! We ordered the following:1. Cheese pizza2. Chicken piccata 3. Chicken tetrazzini4. Spaghetti with meatballsAsk my daughter and the cheese pizza was two thumbs up, ask my husband and he said the pizza was really good! Great flavor, not too thick, not too thin for their liking. I ordered the chicken piccata and it was very good. The only criticism I have and it's a weird one, was that I thought there was too much chicken. Don't get me wrong, I like chicken but when it comes to pasta, I love pasta and the sauce much more! Next time I will ask for less chicken and more pasta. It was great. Not too buttery, capers gave it a punch, and the pasta was cooked to perfection. My husband had the tetrazzini and I will tell you I absolutely thought it was better than mine! I loved his more and it had such a great balance of flavors of peppers and artichoke and the pasta was perfectly cooked. I will probably order this next time! My son ate the spaghetti and meatballs and said it was the best spaghetti and meatballs he's ever had! He tore right into it and loved it, which is rare. The meatballs had great flavor, but the sauce reminded me of the chefboyree, which my husband loves so he loved it as well. Update: we are here again and did the meat sauce and it was soooo much better in my opinion. I ordered some Dessert and all were so good. The owner is incredibly nice and accommodating! The service was great as well! I love this hole in the wall! Love this place! Definitively Recommended!"

Absolutely fantastic atmosphere. Very "family-upscale". Everything was perfect- the drinks, the calamari (sauce especially), the halibut and my kind server Enzo. The only thing i could have asked for was more sauce for the fish and some bread to start. Will be back!

Heading to Boerne & wanted something better than fast food; we were surprised by this place and will definitely go back. Our first impression was the outside & the red & green paint stripes almost made us not try it - looks a little cheesy. However, upon entering, we were warmly greeted by everyone! I'm serious, everyone was so nice! The inside was nice, complimentary warm bread (right out of the oven) & garlic olive oil dipping sauce was amazing. We ordered off the lunch menu: Shrimp Albi & Chicken Alfredo - both very good & good sized portions. The fact all the staff was so young (they all looked like they were in their early 20's) but so polite, helpful & attentive was VERY refreshing! We will definitely be back.

Y'all don't sleep on Grampie's! I wish I would have taken a picture of the food before we devoured it but needless to say it was delicious. We always order pickup but the staff is always pleasant, the place is clean and the food never disappoints. Order the chicken Alfredo pizza and a cannoli for dessert :)

The food was delicious and definitely very filling. I asked the server to split a plate in the kitchen and I was not told about the $2 split fee before hand. That type of communication would have been great to receive beforehand.

The location was unexpected for an Italian restaurant so good. Everything from the drinks to the food was delicious and full of flavor. The have a secret 7 spice seasoning that I added to all their food because it was that good. The server took a while to open up so it was weird asking questions but towards the end he got comfortable enough to laugh and joke with. I recommend trying their strawberry mojito, it was delicious

This place has great pizza!!!I came by to try the pizza, as it came highly recommended. I ordered a cheese pizza with mushrooms, chicken, beef fajita, and spinach, and it was delicious. The pizza tasted fresh, and it was huge! The service was also great, and food didn't take long to come out. The restaurant looks unsuspecting from the outside, but it's a great spot. It was filled when I came in, and although it is on the older side, the ambiance is very lively. There is no parking since it is located downtown, but it looks like you might be able to find street parking nearby. Prices are very fair for portions and not bad at all. 10/10 would recommend. I love this spot for a good pizza night!

I can't say enough good things about Zocca! I arrived just before their kitchen closing time, and instead of turning us away, they graciously kept their kitchen open to accommodate us. This kind gesture speaks volumes about their commitment to excellent customer service.Not only was the staff incredibly welcoming and friendly, but the food and drinks were also absolutely delicious--everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and we never felt rushed, despite the late hour.A huge thank you to Jace for going above and beyond to make our evening memorable. We will definitely be coming back and recommending this gem to friends.

"Saw this place on Texas Bucket List TV show and knew we had to check it out! It was a little chilly today, and they do have patio heaters, but we ate inside.We got the most popular pizza- Texas Sweet Heat and it was fabulous! Perfectly seasoned with heat and honey, and a great size to split with my husband! Then our server Joe (who was amazing, professional gave us a recommendation of the Tiramisu for dessert and he did NOT steer us wrong. It was so good! We'll definitely be back again & ask for Joe, too!"
"Smaller place but great ambiance. If you want somewhere quiet yet with great staff to cater fully to you this is the place. Pro tip: Order a bottle of wine and share. A meal is best with a bottle you can bond over. I like and recommend their Malbecs and Pinot Noirs from the California region. Appetizers are all top notch. I can't help but repeatedly order the Antipasto- adult charcuterie board for those not in the know ;) so many meats, cheeses, honey, fruits, olives and crostinis. I'm typically a fan or the chicken or eggplant parm. The special this week is scallops over fettuccine with a mushroom sauce. Can I get a chefs kiss? Seriously though, this place is the real deal. I've never had a bad meal. The menu is yours to conquer.Don't forget a nice tiramisu or crème brûlée for dessert"
"The service was very quick on a Saturday evening during dinner time.The pizzas all had a good balance of crust to toppings and cheese. Usually veggie pizzas get soggy from the water in the vegetables, but this was not the case here. I was able to fold my pizza slices without it being saggy or sloppy. Everything tasted and smelled fresh, I could smell the herbs from the food in my car!"
"I really enjoyed having dinner here. I have been wanting to try the pizza due to other reviews. I really enjoy a good fired pizza! First the marinara is fantastic. It's a good balance of herbs, spicy, oil, and tomato. I don't normally like marinara due to the sweetness of some but I really like theirs. And the bread was so fluffy and flavorful. I might go back just for that. We ordered the LA FIAMMANTE (spicy pizza) and it was spicy! It has whole red peppers and sliced pepperoncini in addition to the meats. We love spicy food so we were pleased. We also ordered the Italian trio which is a combination of lasagna, Alfredo, and chicken Parmesan. The lasagna is amazing and I will definitely be back for that. The Alfredo was well-balanced and the chicken Parm was one of the best I've had in a very long time.Wine selection is not large, but what they have is very good. We tried two wines and both were well balanced and paired with the food. They also have wine for anyone's budget. There were only two negatives. First, the amount of calamari on our appetizer. We had a ton of fried zucchini, but only a couple pieces of calamari. I wouldn't order it again for the price. Also the lighting was very bright for dinner service. I felt it was too bright be romantic if someone was on date. I feel tell me the lights would have made the ambience better. It was a great experience overall. I will be back again. It has good food, wonderful service, and is priced well for the quality of food."
"I was interested to see if there any more Restaurant Week places we could check out and the menu for @luceristorante piqued my interest. Hubby agreed when he took a look as well. I made reservations through Open Table for dinner tonight.We found out that the prix fixe menu is part of their regular offering. Included is a glass of sparkling wine, pinot noir or chardonnay. Hubby and I both chose pinot noir and it's really smooth. Dad and I shared the Ravioli al Quattro Formaggi/Cheese Ravioli, and Pan-Seared Sea Bass, Shrimp and Asparagus Risotto. Hubby had the Gamberi al Limone/Sauteed Shrimp, and Linguine Mare Chiaro/Pasta with seafood. We all shared the Creme Brulee and Tiramisu. The portions are pretty generous that hubby wasn't able to finish his pasta dish. It was a pleasure meeting owner and chef Joe Buonincontri. He's been blessed with running @luceristorante for 18 years! I'm looking forward to warmer weather and sitting in their outdoor patio. We were noticing that several tables ordered their pizza so we might try that the next time.If you haven't tried @luceristorante, add it to your list to check out!"
"Love this restaurant off of Floyd Curl near the medical center. Such a friendly and happy place. Food and service were excellent. Would go back next time I'm in the area! Good luck wonderful people! A great evening!"
"The first 30 seconds have been amazingly bad. Out of fewer than 20 tables-there was one seated. The hostess attempted to seat us right beside the bathroom doors. We asked to move. Now we're 2 tables away from the restrooms.When I asked about the wine selection-the hostess pointed to the bar in the next room and told me to go and choose what I wanted. And then I heard the couple next to us order "the oil" to go with the complementary bread. Things are looking up. Shreds of fresh basil-tons of garlic floating in a delightful olive oil. They quickly delivered our appetizer-perfectly prepared fried mozzarella with superb warm marinara. The entree-beautifully blistered manicotti with that amazing marinara. The food quality made up for the rough start. Perhaps the young server doesn't know basic skills yet. I guess she doesn't have to when the food is this good."
"We diner in for a party of 7 for dinner. Our server Julia was amazing. She kept our drinks full and our belly's happy. The restaurant is very clean and decorated very nicely. I had a pasta dish and many others at the table got the restaurant week deal which I forgot to take a pic of the menu. Ample parking behind the restaurant which you have to pay for. The restaurant is an old fire station with the pole still intact on the 2nd floor. The food was good and fresh. It did take awhile for our food but I could tell it was freshly being made and not opened out of a packet like other Italian chains."
"If I had a dime for every time I've passed a Tex-Mex joint on my way to work, I'd have $5,304.20.* My travels throughout the Alamo City have led me to innumerable Tex-Mex joints, some well known, some a little off the beaten path, and a few so obscure I wondered if I had unknowingly invited myself into a "casa de la abuela." Like most popular things, though, ubiquity often leads to complacency and mediocrity. As I pen this review, I struggle to count more than four outstanding Tex-Mex joints in the greater San Antonio area. Rita's Mexican Cocina is the very definition of run-of-the-mill Tex-Mex: heaping portions, cliched food, and several telltale signs of a kitchen cutting corners. Flour tortillas are a reliable litmus test for any Mexican restaurant. If the kitchen can execute a respectable tortilla -- one containing the holy quintet of ingredients, namely Sonoran wheat flour, warm water, lard, baking powder, and salt -- then dinner is off to a promising start. On my first visit to Rita's, my waitress assured me that the flour tortillas were made in house. Although undoubtedly homemade, the chalky, barely pliable frisbees that accompanied my Bandera Plate were a letdown. Their stiff texture pointed to an instant mix or all-purpose flour. No bueno!Guacamole is so inexpensive and easy to make from scratch that I wonder why so many restaurants rely on premade stuff. Perhaps someone behind the scenes at Rita's can explain, because the dollop of watery neon-green gloop served here is definitely not homemade. I might have been duped by its brightness (a squeeze of citrus can retard oxidation in fresh guacamole), but the unctuous, whipped texture was indicative of science-lab thickening agents such as guar gum or xantham gum. No bueno!The core components of my Bandera Plate -- namely one crispy beef taco, one beef puffy taco, and one beef enchilada -- were serviceable but average. Each component bore the same cumin-heavy, Tex-Mex-style picadillo meat (a plethora of picadillo...a picadillo profusion), but at least the beef/tomato/onion/cubed potato mixture was savory and satisfying. Several Yelpers have praised the refried beans that accompany every plate, but the allure of pasty, underseasoned mashed pintos eludes me.The most egregious offender at Rita's is unequivocally the taco norteno, an ironic celebration of the kitchen's worst offenders. A "toasted" (the kitchen's euphemistic parlance for "hard as a hockey puck") flour tortilla forms the base of a taco topped with a spoonful of gristly carne asada, a sprinkle of processed white cheese, and a dollop of the aforementioned glow-in-the-dark guacamole. I haven't a drop of Mexican blood in my body**, but I'm sure I could make a much better taco than this abomination. On a positive note, the servers are attentive and the restaurant appears to be clean. I considered adding an extra star for these reasons alone, but I just can't justify awarding Rita's Mexican Cocina a three-star "A-ok" rating. Sadly, by San Antonio's standards, Rita's is indeed "A-ok." The fact that I've dined here on three occasions proves that I'm part of the problem; I've eaten so much boring Tex-Mex over the years that I've become inured to its mediocrity. The time has come, however, for us to raise our expectations. A tourist on the Riverwalk might be content with a plate of greasy tacos or a side salad of wilted iceberg topped with store-bought guacamole, but we locals should demand better. ____________________________________________*I arrived at that dollar amount by using this simple equation:Years worked XDays worked per yearXTex-Mex restaurants countedNeurodiversity comes in handy sometimes.____________________________________________**At the moment. I've already digested and expelled the blood from my most recent victim."
"FINALLY some good, traditional style pizza here in San Antonio. They even have other good Italian style dishes to choose from if pizza isn't for you. I forgot to take a picture before we started digging in.It's a cute lil joint, looks like it might be family owned. Friendly service, you walk up to the salad/pizza bar area to see what they have readily available. Or your food can be made to order. The family had the meat lovers pizza, and I had the spaghetti pomodorro. The spaghetti looks small, but it was very filling. No one left hungry. I hope they stay around for a long time, because good pizza is hard to come by in San Antonio!And when they get a good non-dairy cheese on their pizzas, I'll be the first to try it! (Blasphemy, yes I know. But I have no choice lol)"
"Delicious, authentic Italian food in San Antonio, Texas! And obviously I'm one of the last people to know. When I got to La focaccia Italian Grill, the place was already filled with patrons. Everyone mid meal, sipping on red wine and enjoying their entrées. That was a huge reassurance for me. The wait staff was super helpful and nice. We were seated quickly. Inside they have booths and a wide open floor plan dining room. A gorgeous chandelier, right in the middle, setting the ambience of romance. It seems like a great place to go as a family and have a nice family style dining experience and also go for a romantic first date. I had the five layer lasagna and it was delicious. It was robust in flavor, cheesy and everything you would expect from a traditional lasagna. I also enjoyed their homemade in-house focaccia bread. I paired it with olive oil, seasonings and vinaigrette, and also sprinkled some Parmesan. At that point, I practically made my own little pizza. It was really good. my sister had the seafood stuffed cannoli and I didn't taste it but she seemed to enjoy it. The caesar salad was crispy and tossed and ample dressing. Very delicious. When I'm back in San Antonio, I would come back."
"My wife and I have a running gag about how we can't find a go-to Italian restaurant. This dates back over 10.years when we lived in California. I don't know exactly why, but we've found what I would consider to be serviceable places, just not one that we talk about a lot, recommend to others, etc.That streak, at long last, may be over.Scisciano Italia came recommended to us, and on a rare night out, we decided to give it a go. It's in an unassuming strip mall we've been to many times. Either this place is new enough that we haven't seen it, or our eyes slipped right past it. Either way, until the recommendation, we had no idea this place existed. Upon entering, we both remarked at the nice decor. Not too much, not too little, just the right amount for a friendly place for a night out.We were seated promptly, and started browsing the menus. The menus felt Cheesecake Factory-esque in their size and depth. Thankfully, our waitress was willing and able to point us in a few directions. She (thankfully) bypassed my least favorite waiter/waitresses trope ("Everything here is great!") and asked a couple of questions about my sauce preference and what type of dish I wanted, and pointed me in the direction of their namesake dish: chicken Scisciano. My wife went for the tortellini Michelangelo. We also went with some burrata to start. Our meals came with soup or salad. My salad was simple, but with very fresh, crispy vegetables and a thick, flavorful dressing. Not a bad start!I'm a pretty big eater, but I knew we were in trouble when the burrata arrived. It was a monstrous portion. Cheese, cured meats, olives, balsamic vinegar and tomatoes basically took over a large serving platter. The main courses were equally titanic. Delicious, across the board. The tortellini was eye-rollingly tasty and the chicken Scisciano popped with flavor. The sauce was buttery, lemony and pleasantly salty. My only regret was that I didn't get to try more from the menu yet! I came away impressed and ready to try more... on another day, at least. I was stuffed and had to take home about half my meal. Didn't have a shot at dessert either, sadly.Beyond the food, let's talk about the staff, briefly. I only really worked with my waitress, but she was among the best I've had assist me at a restaurant in years. It feels like they have a great team at work here. Very knowledgeable, engaging and friendly.My only gripe, and this isn't an issue in my end, but I want this place sticking around for a long time, is the size of the menu. I have to imagine it's tough to stock all of the fresh ingredients for a menu of this scale. I have to imagine it takes additional money and causes potential food waste. I suppose I could be wrong, but a slimmed down menu focusing on their go-tos could potentially make this place more profitable over the long run. And that's fine by me! As I said, this is a place that I want to have stick around.In a food landscape seemingly dominated but chain restaurants and fast food, give Scisciano Italia a chance. It's well worth the time and your stomach will thank you."
"Food was great Minute we stepped in the place smelled old and musky. We were seated by hostess Jada. Because the booth smelled so bad and enclosed we asked for table near window. Jada said the tables were set. We didn't know what she meant we asked her for at least the table across but she repeated herself looking at us like sarcastically. I asked her if it was reserved and she said no it's set by waitress. Asked her to please if our table can be wiped because it was wet and stickyShe came back and talked to our waitress Jalyn (forgot spelling) and the. Came wiped half of our table unprofessionally like she was upset. Very disrespectful so she need more customer training because of her immaturity behavior Our waitress was very good and she deserve my 5 stars. The food was delicious and my steak was perfect The hostess and smell got my 2stars. Not goin back there"
"First time at Parry's Pizzeria and we're super exited to indulge in pizza heaven. When we arrived we were greeted by Anthony and his customer service was AMAZING. He greeted us with a warm smile and went over the menu with us, keeping that genuine warm smile. He was patient as we decided on what we were going to order. He wasn't pressuring at all and answered all of our 5,000 questions lol. He was very polite and respectful, you can tell that he loves his job and engaging with customers. It was a very pleasant experience.We order a 18' Lil Avery Cheese Pizza and the Uptown Mozzarella Sticks and we enjoyed the pizza but LOVED the mozzarella sticks. We would definitely return and dine in. The vibes here are super chill and a great spot for family dining or to hang out with friends. They also have Happy Hour all day on Sundays so if you love a good happy hour save the date! For my crafted beer lovers, they have a huge variety of your favs all on tap. This pizzeria is great and the menu is loaded with a lot of variety so bring your appetite when your craving pizza and swing by Parry's"
"3.5 Stars, but Yelp does not like partial stars. Would like to motivate them to either reduce their prices a little, but best would be to improve the consistency on the food served and overall execution of the dishes. Service is splendid. Seating upstairs is a nice change. Ambiance is family orientated, with their family photos hanging on the walls, a festive Christmas Tree even in the summer next to homely cupboards. Almost like your relatives who were too lazy to take down the tree this year! The food is mixed. Depends on what you get. Their meatballs are phenomenal. The pizza is delicious. Thin, large. Served hot. But have to be honest, it is a little overly reliant on cheese overload. Yes, some say that there can never be too much cheese- this reviewer might be one of these individuals- yet, it should also be understood that others may disagree for health or taste reasons- and an excellent establishment would not have any ingredient overpower all other flavors and would likely offer the option for extra cheese rather than a standard, as reflected in the price. Maybe could use a little more generosity on the toppings, as well as freshness instead. Pasta was good, but not great for the price; bread is decent, with some dryer overbaked pieces. Some dishes inconsistent from different visits. Soup was lacking flavor, pasta was overly reliant on the sauce drenching out the other individual nuances in the meat and vegetables. Overall, the prices are a tad higher than the food dictates. Worth it for the welcoming experience? Possibly. Would recommend trying it at least once to make your own decision, since this is definitely a stroke in this city. The C alparelli Family has been around a long time, with extended family opening other locations using the same name, but- yes, including moved locations- this is the original."
"My boyfriend and I went here for a Friday night dinner and this place is by far my new favorite spot. We often cook at home, but the authenticity of the food will never be able to be replicated. The service was more than excellent. The overall ambience was also lovely. I got the eggplant rigatoni and my goodness was it to die for. Great wine selection, and for dessert we had the award winning tiramisu. I cannot wait to come back to Ezio Bistro!"
"Great happy hour prices! Service was very attentive. It was nice to be followed up by two managers about our experience, but not overwhelming. We have been here before and the sandwiches are excellent and easily shareable! Get the meatball or Italian sandwich. You won't be disappointed. Lots of TVs. Good place to watch a game."
"Excellent! The food was delicious and the service was great! Took my mom here for her birthday and we all enjoyed ourselves. We will definitely be back! While I was dining here I felt like I was a part of an exclusive group who knows about this restaurant. It was so good! Plus they had a meal, 2 for $40. Two entrees and a dessert for $40! Great deal and great meal! Perfect portions!"
"Wow! Came here during lunch on a weekday and it was amazing. There was no wait and the dining room was super open. No one was sitting at the bar and maybe 2-3 other tables in the dining room and one table outside. There was about 3 servers and one manager named Rey all very helpful. You don't get one select server it's all open. We got a bruschetta board Smoked salmon pesto, Sweet n spicy pepper jam goat cheese, Fresh mozzarella, tomato, basil, and French onion. All of them were super delicious! I got the tomato basil soup or their take on it super good and my friend Fernanda when she comes here she always gets the skewers so I got that and they were amazing. I got the cumber honey lemonade. Overall great lunch! A bit on pricey sidey but it's worth it! Definitely will be back!"
"Ordered the Shrimp Alfredo, it was okay, bland. Large portion tho. The shrimp were fresh and tasted really good, I just wish they gave me more shrimp bc the shrimp to noodle ratio is off. For that large portion, I only got 4 or 5 regular sized shrimp. The only thing that's holding this dish back is it needs seasoning and they should consider giving a few more shrimp. I did season it when I got home, with some Tony's, and it made the dish way better. The service was good. I would return, I'd just have to order extra shrimp and have some seasoning on deck."
"Our waitress was amazing, one of the best waitresses I've had in a long time,. Very informative and attentive. I ordered the Chicken Marsala fettuccine. The chicken was juicy and tender. Pasta is more on the sweet side, which I loved! Would order again! Place was very clean."
"The pizza was the best we've had. Chef asked how we like our pizza. We like it crispy. It was perfection.Can't wait to try the other menu items"
"Best Italian food I've had in a while and great customer service. Great place to go to for family events or celebrations any birthdays.The warm bread is enough for everyone"
