“Every visit = perfection. The service is impeccable and the food is delicious. You can’t go wrong with the Burrata, Kale Caesar, and Calamari!“

“Amazing food!
I am visiting from Florida and this restaurant was recommended as having the best Italian food in town.
I can tell that this for sure is the best Italian food that I've had probably ever.
Amazing flavor with the pasta was cooked to perfection.
The appetizer was also amazing, one of the best mozzarella sticks I've had in a long time.
Parking seems like it could be an issue of there is a lot people though were able to find spot pretty quick
The only thing that unfortunately did not go with the good experience, was the service. Our server pretty came took the left us with a bottle of water and didn't come back until we were pretty much done with out food and were dry with no water left in the bottle.
Still the next time I am in town I'll make sure to visit for amazing Italian experience.“

“This place is lovely and a hidden gem. Highly recommend. Food and staff were impeccable!“

“Excellent food and service 😊“

“Great food and good atmosphere. I got the pork and it was outstanding. My wife got a hamburger and she liked it too. Our waiter was friendly and I told him I was thirsty so he made sure my tea never ran out. Very good tea too. Not the weak tea you get from other restaurants. Will go again if I'm ever in that neck of the woods again.“

“Service was absent. Waitress argued with my dad about an appetizer quality. So he refused to order any more food little did they know he was picking up the check. Food was okay. Not 5 star. Took us 4 hours to eat and get out. Waitress had 6 tables with 39 people in upscale restaurant. Been waiting years to go here. Service really was worse than Applebees“

“Amazing. Definitely one of the best restaurants in Birmingham. The freshest, hand-made pastas with wonderful ingredients, to the Roman style pizza, daily soups, and crave-able desserts will keep you coming back for more! The service is top notch too. Love their delivery option. Perfect every order! *get the daily special! *daily soups are a MUST! Ragu is insane.... Cacio Pepe.... Heck, it's all fantastic!“

“Our experience was truly exceptional, with outstanding cuisine, service, and ambiance. We commend the staff for providing my friend and me with a memorable evening. As newcomers, we valued the detailed menu explanation. The fritto misto and chicken scaloppini were expertly prepared, and the tiramisu was exquisite. We will certainly return.“

“First dining experience with the food truck tonight at Irondale’s Fun Day at the Tracks. It was absolutely DELICIOUS! I had the chicken bacon ranch pizza taco. Everything was fresh, the chicken was tender and the pizza wrap was perfectly toasted. Soft enough to fold, crispy enough to bite! My only complaint is why haven’t I eaten there before!! Is there a more than 5 star rating??? 🏆“

“We chose to sit outside for lunch at Grand Ticino and really enjoyed the atmosphere! James took excellent care of us and made sure we were happy with the entire experience. We had cocktails, appetizers and entrees and everything was fantastic! Our only problem was we were too full for dessert! I highly recommend! #205adventures“

“Wonderful staff, great food and family owned! What a great combination.“

“Love this place! My favorite place to eat in Trussville. Service, food, price have always been wonderful!“

“This us our favorite O.G although it's about a 90 min drive and today's visit was another awesome one, Mary is a FABULOUS server, so attentive, kind and helpful. When we come back (in the next 2 weeks) I will be asking for her section. Thank you!“

“Came here with my daughter for my birthday, we had Amber as our server who was exceptional! She helped us choose a fun drink to celebrate, food was wonderful, and she gave us a free tiramasu for my birthday. Go see Amber at North Italia!!“

“This evening, we had the pleasure of dining at Giuseppe's Cafe in Birmingham, Alabama. Despite the restaurant being fully occupied, we opted to dine al fresco and enjoy the surroundings. Our meal consisted of the Feta Cheese bake as an appetizer, followed by Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo and Manicotti. Each dish was expertly prepared. Notably, our waitress Ty provided exceptional service, making us feel welcome and treating us with familial warmth. She ensured we had refreshments to take with us and carefully packaged our leftovers. We highly recommend Giuseppe's Cafe to anyone in the area and suggest requesting Ty's attentive service, mentioning Melissa from Pensacola as a referral.“

“Love this place but last time I was here the owners kid (who was sitting at a table playing in his phone) went back and refilled his soda on the equipment meant for servers and touched the equipment without washing his hands first and that's a turn off for me. Pizza is my favorite so I will let it slide.“

“Delicious sandwich, cold beer, and the owners are the coolest cats in town.“

“Went in to grab a quick lunch and chose the Italian sub. Everything on it was fresh and the meat used was of good quality as well. It's nice to be able to get a sub and actually taste the individual ingredients instead of the usual bland mess thrown at us by most chains.“

“Hubs was craving pizza tonight so we thought we’d try something new & we were not disappointed at all! Friendly people, good food & great atmosphere! We will make the trip back soon!!“

“I have been here 3times back to back and I haven't been disappointed yet.“

“We have gone to Freddy’s many times and always had an amazing experience! The service is always amazing, the wine plentiful, and the food delicious and consistent. We had a party for my husband’s birthday this past weekend and were so impressed by the execution of service. If you want to be truly taken care of, come to Freddy’s!“

“My father and I enjoyed lunch at The Filling Station today. We were served by Hope and she was good to us. Hope’s kindness was top tier. Thank you Hope you did so great! She kept a beaming smile on her face. We can’t wait to see y’all again. Our lunch was yummy. Hope your kindness spilleth over.❤️ Love, Miss Jamie“
