“The Ostrich downstairs was so fun! Old speakeasy with the decor to go with!“

“If you're looking for a memorable dining experience, you have to try Acqua di Mare! My group loved the food and the atmosphere. Chef Nikola and his team are outstanding. We had a variety of appetizers, entrees and desserts. The tableside preparation of some of the dishes was a sight to see! Thank you, Chef Nikola, I will be back!“

“We had a small issue with one of our meals in our delivery, and I called the restaurant and spoke with the manager, Adriana. She was gracious, genuinely concerned, and immediately wanted to make the situation right.

The problem was that because the order had gone through a third party delivery service, I had to resolve the issue through their app.

That experience was the complete opposite.

I found myself stuck in a loop of standardized responses with no real help. It became so frustrating that I called Adriana back just to tell her what was happening. What surprised me was that she had tried contacting the delivery company too and ran into the same problem. They told her that I had to be the one to deal with them.

This review is really about Adriana.

I wish more establishments had managers who genuinely care about their customers and want to make things right. She turned what could have been an average or disappointing experience into one that made me want to come back. She told us there would be a gift card waiting for us whenever we return, and yes, we absolutely will.

But our conversation also raised a bigger issue.

Adriana told me I was not the first customer to have this kind of experience with the delivery service and that she planned to bring the feedback to management.

We live in a time when we interact with apps, automated messages, and anonymous call centers more than actual people. Businesses still have a choice about which companies they allow to represent their brand.

If a delivery service does not treat your customers the way you would treat them yourself, speak up. There is competition. Restaurants can choose better partners, and customers can demand better service.

And Adriana is a great reminder that one person who actually cares can completely change a customer's experience.“

“My family and I had a delightful experience at the Olive Garden on Gilbert Rd and Germann in Gilbert, AZ. We stopped in for an early dinner after my daughter’s dentist appointment. We are vegetarian, so we knew good ol’ OG would have something we could eat, especially with all those breadsticks and salad.

When we arrived, we were greeted by a delightful host stand and seated immediately. It was around 4:30 on a Wednesday, so it wasn’t exactly poppin’, which worked out perfectly for us. We were sat in the back and told our server would be with us shortly. Not long after, Tatiana came by and introduced herself. She had such a warm and pleasant demeanor. Right away, she gave the impression that she was there to take care of us, not just treat us like another number.

We asked about the oil used for frying because we can’t eat beef tallow and needed to make sure it was seed oil, soy oil, or something else non-animal based. Tatiana didn’t know offhand, but she went and checked for us. While she was gone, we noticed on the Ziosk that the fries and fried eggplant parm were listed as vegetarian, so we figured they had a fryer with vegetarian-friendly oil. When Tatiana came back, she confirmed our suspicions and we were good to go.

By the way, the amount of information provided on Olive Garden’s Ziosks is pretty impressive. They had a whole vegetarian and vegan layout showing what contains what. Kudos to OG for going above and beyond there. That kind of info really matters when you have dietary restrictions.

My daughter ordered the kids ravioli with a side of spaghetti, which is basically like two entrees in one. She felt like she won the freakin’ lottery. I ordered the eggplant parm, and the table shared the lasagna fritta with marinara instead of meat sauce, along with loads of breadsticks and salad. And I cannot forget to mention the deliciousness that is the alfredo dipping sauce. OMG. Talk about all the reasons I’m unhealthy. That stuff makes me feel like I’m indulging, while in reality I’m probably getting a few steps closer to a heart attack. Worth it, though.

My wife ordered one of those “buy one, take one home” deals and was presented with way more food than she could eat, plus food to take home. That’s a win. My daughter and I finished our plates clean.

All in all, the experience was really enjoyable. The food was worthy of a review on its own, but I especially want to mention the service we received and how pleasant it was to be served by Tatiana. She was kind, attentive, and provided a wonderful dining experience for our whole family.

She checked all the boxes: proper drink levels maintained, check. Pre-bussed the table, check. Created a friendly and hospitable environment for the guest, check. She was a really great server, and we left full, happy, and grateful for the experience.“

“Everything about floridinos is amazing been going here forever and it never gets old the servers and staff are amazing!!!“

“This place is so good. The patio is simple but the tables have a decent distance so you don’t feel like you’re on top of people and it’s not too noisy. The food was so so good. The veggies were cooked literally perfectly, the pasta was exceptional. I felt they had a good variety of choices. The beet salad was perfect amount of each ingredient so you could enjoy a bit of all it included. It was just very very good.“

“I went to this Olive Garden on a Saturday, and it was wonderful. The food choice was amazing, I ended up picking the chicken alfredo with the endless soup or salad w/ breadsticks, it was a delicious and creamy meal. The service was amazing, the waiter did an amazing job serving us and they delivered our food in no time at all“

“Domenic and your entire staff at the chandler location is spot on. You have a winning team to go with your Unique and delicious menu! Love it!“

“Loved my meal! My first time too! Prickly pear margarita was amazing too!!! Great service!“

“Delicious food! Great staff! 😄“

“(Peoria) Delicious gelato! Jason the assistant manager is great!“

“If you are looking for an authentic Italian pizza this is the place. Great service too“

“My late husband and I have been coming here regularly for at least the last 3 years. The reason we came so often is the wonderful servers made us feel like family. It was more than a dinner out for us. It was a dining experience with friends and family. And people you meet at the restaurant, like us that come frequently, have also become family. There is a reason being a regular is so awesome. And their food is wonderful too! My husband's favorite dish was Lorrie's Lasagna. Thank you for making Eric's Celebration of Life an amazing experience. 🩶🩶“

“As a native New Yorker I can confidently say that the quality of the pizza being made and served at your Chandler location has diminished significantly in the last decade. I wish I could post a picture of my third attempt to order just a cheese pie from your establishment this evening(call me stubborn) but unfortunately I can't do that. Just imagine a half cooked pizza that looked like it had been sliding around the back seat of a car. It arrived like warm too. Nothing like a slice of pizza that if you were able to figure out what was the slice of pizza, picking it up and it was so doughy that it just folded over. Step your game up if you want to call yourselves NYPD Pizza. You don't see that s*** in New York, ever. Never. Anybody can use words. It's your quality that matters, consistently. And your manager Noah at your Chandler location couldn't be any more dismissive of my frustrations and his ability to talk over a customer while they are still trying to convey their message says everything. Three really bad pies in a row over the course of probably a year is not a good trend. I can't give you the only disappointed customer who thinks they're getting New York style pizza and it's nothing close to it. At least not in the past several years. CONSISTENTLY. YOU WANT TO BE THE BEST TRY BEING THE BEST. HOWEVER IT REQUIRES MASSIVE EFFORT NOT JUST WORDS. BE BETTER THAN. STOP TRYING TO FIT IN.“

“I recently posted a negative review here that was in error. A different Rosatis location cancelled an order well before closing time and I was not notified till much later. I apologize to mgmt and staff. I am not from the area and thought this was the site in question.“

“Love this place. Took father in law for the 1st time. He loved it too.“

“We always look forward to eating there as the food is delicious and the service is great. This time I was looking around at the building and decorations and it dawned on me how clean it was; not a speck of dust - much better than other restaurants. We will definitely be back again.“

“literally the best food and service is great! I haven't had 1 thing I didn't like.“

“My wife called in an order tonight, we had never ordered there before and a girl named Reece took our order. She was very helpful with our questions and took the time to help us out with what we needed. I will definitely be ordering there again! Thanks so much Barros pizza!“

“Tonight I took my wife to Brooklyn V’s at Jermaine and Gilbert in Gilbert for her birthday. My wife ordered spaghetti and a house salad. I ordered meatball calzones with a house salad.. I however, was very disappointed in the calzone. There was no meatball in the calzone. There were strips of some kind of meat in the calzone that tasted nothing like meatballs.. I asked the waitress what kind of meat it was. She said she didn’t know but would check. She came back and told me it was beef and pork. I didn’t order pork I don’t like pork. When the menu says meatballs, it should be meatballs, not pork and some kind of weird tasting beef. If I had ordered spaghetti and meatballs, would it have been strips of this kind of meat across the spaghetti something to think about?“

“Outstanding pizza and service. Barro's is also incredibly active in community service. Thank you.“
