“Easily one of the best meals we’ve had in a long time. We spent the evening at Valentina’s by Joe Carlucci and honestly, it was unforgettable—from the food, to the wine, to the people. We kicked things off with a bottle of Postmark Cabernet Sauvignon, which was the perfect pairing for the Burrata & Prosciutto di Parma. The burrata was fresh and creamy, the prosciutto practically melted, and the roasted red peppers added just the right touch of sweetness. It was a perfect way to start. Then came The Our Town pizza—Joe Carlucci’s award-winning creation that earned him the title of 2023 Pizza Maker of the Year. It absolutely lived up to the hype. The crust had that ideal wood-fired texture, the sausage was loaded with flavor, and the whipped peppadew ricotta on top? Game changer. But the real star of the night? The tiramisu. And I don’t say this lightly—it was the best tiramisu I’ve ever eaten. Light, rich, and balanced with just the right hit of espresso and cocoa. It was absolute perfection. We also tried the cannoli flight and loved being able to sample the different toppings—each one was delicious. On top of all that, the service made the night even better. Nikki, our server, was flawless—genuine, attentive, and kind. And getting to meet Joe Carlucci himself was the icing on the cake. You can feel the pride and heart he pours into this place. This wasn’t just dinner—it was a full experience. Great people, an inviting atmosphere, and food that makes you slow down and savor every bite. We can’t wait to come back.“

“Finally, a great fish restaurant close to home. We had an absolutely wonderful experience. Perfect service, nice booth seating and fresh fish.“

“TJ handled our party of 8 with ease, even while having other tables during a busy holiday weeknight. Everyone enjoyed their dishes, and will definitely be coming back (it was my first time here).“

“OMG!!! S&G’s in Madison is our most favorite date night location! Every Friday for 4+ years, now…every Friday!! Best gelato (Stella)! Best and friendliest staff (All Y’all)! Most deliciously made to order pizza! Oh, and the local beer on tap selection, superbly curated! We 🫶🏼 you guys!!“

“I love this place. It always makes me so happy and I love watching them play with the dough. The way they stick their fingers in it and wiggle them around is just so satisfying. One thing about this place though is that one of the employees farted on my baby and laughed about it. No joke you think I'm kidding? He straight-up farted on my kid and thought it was funny no apologies nothing! I will definitely be returning to this location perhaps next time I will leave my baby at home. With a babysitter of course.“

“We had an order to pick up. Even though they were very busy when we walked in, our pizzas were ready on time.“

“So for a first time visit it wasn't bad, the service was good very nice staff! The pizza wasn't terrible either I'm just not a flat bread kinda person and the crust gets super hard after a few minutes, had a personal pizza Hawaiian style. Over all not terrible pretty fast decent for a quick meal.“

“This is our go-to location for Marco's pizza in the Madison area. Pizza is ready quickly and always on time for pickup. The staff has always been friendly as well. The only issue I've ever had is occasional trouble calling in an order during especially busy times, so I would recommend online orders for dinner on the weekends.“

“I stepped out of rut (Original Deluxe) and ordered an Italian Calzone. Very different than any I’ve had (Oregon to Miami). You eat it like a sandwich. Plenty of meat, but desperately needed Ricotta, mushrooms and more onions. Well, back to the Original Deluxe.“

“Kudos to your delivery person who knows how to follow instructions! Last night I watched my grandkids. Their parents ordered the kids online a large cheese pizza which was delivered fast, hot and looked delicious. Under special delivery instructions my son-in-law wrote: “Tell me I’m beautiful.” Well the delivery person did and made my night😂. Only later did I find out why! Oh we all had a good laugh at that. I bet the delivery person was embarrassed afterwards. Gullible me thought he was sincere 😂😂😂😂“
