“My husband and I had dinner at your restaurant tonight. I wanted the chicken Parmesan but was told they deep fry it in the same oil as the shrimp etc.. instead of telling me that I just needed to pick something else for dinner the chef gave me an option of grilled chicken. To be honest I think I like it better grilled now. Our server was Winnie and she was very pleasant and took great care to make our experience wonderful. We will definitely be back.“

“We brought a group of 20 last night to your restaurant. We had an amazing time. Service was the best and our waitress is #1 Angie. Food was excellent and everyone tried different meals. I would highly recommend if you want a romantic evening or a large group they accommodate. Manager came and introduced himself . Definitely a 5 . We were there for 2 hours of dinner, drinks, and a social before heading back. Thank you👏“

“Amazing service. This is the best Olive Garden I have ever visited. The breadsticks were perfectly seasoned and cooked well. Not too salty or hard. The soups were all fresh and hot, with plenty of gnocchi in the chicken and gnocchi. My angel hair with meat sauce had plenty of sauce where other Olive Gardens skimp on the portion. Our server was amazing. The manager visited our table too and was great.“

“BoomDaddy, we looked for something new and found this place. We are quite happy we checked it out. Excellent food, the service was superb and the food was out so quick. Great recipes that the owner spent lots of time on. Highly recommend and look forward to coming back to try the other selections.

“So me and my buddy decided to come to Carrabba’s tonight. It was very nice and quiet inside. We had a waitress named Amanda. She was very easy going and was super nice and caring. I haven’t had a waitress this fantastic in a very long time.
I would only come back to this location bc of her!
The food was to die for and I couldn’t even finish it.
If you go to this location you should definitely get Amanda as ur waitress. You won’t regret it. She is outstanding!“

“Delicious pizza and salad ... cute little place .. we will be back!!“

“I am told Mama Linda's is closed for the Summer. They are planning to expand and try for a liquor license and more seating. Pro Tip: Call to verify before making any lengthy drive!

I will miss the Texas sized portions of lasagna and her Italian wedding soup. Ditto for lemon cake! We will definitely return upon re-opening!

The real stars at this establishment were go to select staff. The maitre'd and his girlfriend / server were always delightful! Always happy to see us too! They deserve 10 stars!

So - as the lyrics go: "See You, In September" (or so I hope).“

“My favorite Italian restaurant. I really hope this location doesn't close, it would be very sad. I love the chicken parmigiana, which I think is even better if you order it with the rosa (pink) sauce; it's so good this way because the creaminess of the rosa sauce complements the chicken very well.“

“It was mine and my husband's first time here and we absolutely loved it. The manager came by multiple times to check and make sure that us and everyone around us had everything that we needed. They are in the middle of redoing the restaurant but it still looks very nice. There's so much to choose from when it comes to the food and it's really really good! We'll be back for sure!“

“Food was really good, although a little on the salty side. Had the portobello appetizer which was delicious. My wife had the lasagna, which was good, but salty. The drinks were very good and they have great happy hour specials which are all day Thursday through Sunday I think. The servers were very nice, but seemed a little lacking considering how slow it was in there. Atmosphere was upscale without feeling pretentious. We will definitely be back to try more of the menu“

“Amazing Gluten Free garlic cheese bread and pizza. It does not taste like cardboard. You can tell when your not a regular but it's a cute place with amazing and fresh food. Plus Gluten Free!!! It's a little steep for the upgrade, but gluten free is always more“

“We’re from other states. My husband is from Texas and I am from Louisiana. We met on the pipeline and started our own business which keeps me returning to mesa Arizona 2-3 times a year. The steel mill has recommended this business and we love it! It’s a must stop every time! I can’t wait to eat here every time I’m in town! The people, atmosphere, and food is amazing!! Highly recommended to new visitors!!“

“A big thank you to Serena and Jeremy for making my mother’s birthday special this year! I called from central New York wondering if they could do something special, and they knocked it out of the park. You guys did amazing so thank you again“

“I literally did a happy dance after every bite!!! I ordered the cheese pizza and chicken carbonara, they were both so delicious!! The cheese pizza was thin, cheesy and perfect, I would say this is my favorite cheese pizza in the state so far. The carbonara was delicious, I added crushed red pepper to mine, because I love some heat!! The garlic bread dipped in Alfredo sauce from here, I swear I’d have it as my last meal, it was that delicious!!! Everything my family has tried for here was fantastic!!“

“Welcomed the minute I walked in the door even though they were very busy. Families dining in, ordering and waiting for food and then others like me that ordered to go.
Pizzas were ready exactly when they said that they would be. Pizzas were great and even the kids ate the crust!
Will return over and over again.“

“Amazing food! I have always had friendly staff members. Perfect lunch after a round of golf or dinner for a night out. 10/10 recommend!“

“Vengo spesso da voi per una pausa veloce e con i colleghi usiamo i buoni pasto Coverflex, ma non vi trovo nell’app; pensate di attivarli presto?“

“So glad Fazoli’s is back in AZ. I had a little of everything and it was all as amazing as I remembered!!“

“Moved here from the east coast and for the first time ever in Arizona I’ve had good pizza, this pizza is amazing.“

“Every time we go there the staff is so nice and friendly and the pizza 🍕 is so delicious“

“I brought my sons here when there were little my youngest was 4 years old and now he is 29 and everything is the same and the food tastes the same us good we love everything that is here thanks pizza mart forgot been nice people and everything good we love it“

“We love Barros’ pizza! I could have it every day! 🤣🙌“

“The class of 2025 is slacking!
This place makes good food, but like all pizza places there is a constant rotation of teenagers working there. Sometimes you get a good batch and the place runs well. This is not a good batch. Knowing that, you can now temper your expectations to match what you will likely experience here. Will I come back? 100% Yes, because the food is still good just slower and less accurate than before. Class of 2026 we are waiting for you and you have an easy act to follow. ;-)“

“Jenna is a rock star! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ She keeps the whole bar running smoothly with out ever making you feel rushed. She's professional, friendly and hardworking. My first impression is that she makes you feel like a regular, even on your first visit.

Milano’s is lucky to have her, and you'll be lucky to have her as your bartender. When I’ve had a rough day of work, my co-worker and I always look forward to seeing Jenna because of her positive energy and great attitude.

The food is excellent quality, the overall atmosphere/ vibe makes you feel very welcomed the moment you walk in- but Jenna's service is what makes this place a truly special gem.
I always go back because of her. Highly recommend! Thank you Jenna for all you do!“

“I highly recommend the monster Pizza!!!“

“I only gave 4 stars for service because it was a Friday night and it seemed like they were understaffed a little. There could, and probably is a good reason for that. We tried a new pizza… thin crust pepperoni with the hot honey drizzle! Let me tell you, it was 🔥🔥🔥“

“We love Nello’s and drove all the way over only to be told that they were slow and decided to close an hour and a half early tonight. We were disappointed for sure. There were other patrons that were turned away as well. We will call first from now on.“

“Barros has the best tasting pizza in the greater Phoenix area. I order there pizza to go. My order is always ready when I get there and the employees and managers treat you the way you like to be treated.During COVID we lived off of take out food and we lived off of there pizza's.“

“I want to talk a little about the working people at the Mesa location. I had a small question about the order I placed for pickup. I ordered ahead a bit and when I arrived I asked how long my order was sitting there,and the front desk about 10 minutes or so. I got home and wasn’t totally satisfied with my order. I ordered the lasagna.
The manager jumped right up and did everything possible to make it right, and I was over the moon with my return to get the efforts of my resolution.
Once again I was treated awsome and made sure that my next order was 1000% perfect.And I had the Lasagna and as you know the portion size is huge but really didn’t want to stop eating it. I just want to thank you again for caring so much for me as 1customer who will definitely be back and probably send 10 more in word of mouth (and I do have a big mouth)It’s really nice when places like this show mad respect for the little guy.“

“very good food and very nice people love this place the pizza 🍕and wings are the best in az.“
