“Food Server, REDANA, was Excellent. Delicious Calamari. Excellent Veal Parmigiana with homemade Pasta. Sauce was great. And Cannoli was fresh and tasty. We are from NYC. We have eaten in Little Italy. Your food is worthy of being served on Mulberry Street. Five Stars... PS After we finished my Birthday dinner, I played Billy Joel's song "Scene from an Italian Restaurant" while awaiting the Check. And the red and white checkered table cloths are a Great touch. They remind me of Louie's Restaurant in the Godfather movie.“

“The pizza is delicious, consistent, and the service for delivery is great. I am actually in the middle of moving and asked if they delivered to my new address and was very pleased they do. The price is excellent for the product they serve. Nobody is left hungry. Their pizza is packed with flavor and ingredients. Fresco Pizzeria is the standard by which I judge all other pizza companies.“

“My husband, daughter and I tried dinner here for the first time last night and were not disappointed! The atmosphere was very casual and the service and food were both amazing! We had the bruschetta, carbonara, pollo parm and finished off with a slice of cheesecake! I love that they brought the dessert selection out on a tray so you can see everything that’s available before choosing. The visual of the actual food sometimes sways you and makes all the difference! We will be back for sure and I can’t wait to try something new!“

“Had dinner with friends Trattoria Pina on Saturday evening, such a wonderful place. Food was extraordinary and service could not be better. Thanks to the entire staff. we'll be back soon. Loved the Risotto!“

“Amazing food and superb service. Danielle and Rusty took care of everything in our event. The food was very flavorful and on point. Our guests praised how good the food was. Nothing was over cooked either. We planned our event ahead of time and Danielle was very attentive and professional. I will definitely here their services again. No doubt.“

“This is the best sauce location in Tucson. The management and their carry through for to go orders, are well above par. Professionally, my catering orders are always spot on with all the serving utensils and everything needed without having to double check. Personally, as a mum of two young children and picking up a to go order — drinks are presented in carriers and everything is kindly packed and ready to go (when I don’t have spare hands as it is). The manager and customer service at this grant location are lovely and I would drive across town to use them for catering, even if there is a closer location to my work drop off. Will always give them my business.“

“I really enjoy the food at this Olive Garden, the price is what I don't always like. However, they do have a military discount, and the bottomless dishes will fill you up. The service is always good, I've never complained or made a complaint to a manager (managers circulate the dinning area, and check on customers). We don't eat here often, but I look forward to the next time we go.“

“My son wanted Olive Garden for his birthday and said he had a great lunch. Our food was amazing and came out hot. It was a bit of a wait, but their kitchen was understaffed today. Our server was super nice and checked on us regularly. If you haven't had the tiramisu, try it. It was great.“

“Michael was outstanding Great waiter an server Represents your business well“

“Really yummy food! Never disappoints!“

“Good food/good atmosphere“

“We live near Bazils and eat there quite often. The owners, Max and Sandy ate lovely, and the waiters and waitresses do a wonderful job of serving. The Italian food is the best in town. The marinara and salad dressing are especially good. Too, the other offerings such as veal and steak dishes, and their escargot and cheese bread are delicious.“

“good food me & my sister use to come & eat the turkey feta salad she passed away a week ago Saturday 😭💔“

“My son and I were just their last week. Lukes was a suggested to us by a local friend. It was amazing! We ate it wet with zero regrets. The best overall meal that I have eaten out of Tuscon in the last 6 years.“

“Great food. And great folks!“

“I'm Italian, so it i dont know why the spaghetti is always served hard. In Italy, its softer. Easier to chew. The sauce is way too thin. The sausage is really tasty. There are not enough handicap parking spaces. It's hard to move around tables with a walker. Our waitress was perfect..loved her🫶.“

“Food is pretty good, enjoyed the prosciutto and arugula pizza, fries and aioli also good.

It's 2026 and they're serving soda in cans. Is this an aesthetic decision? There's a full bar times three, do the soda guns there just have carbonated water? Honestly cheapens the whole experience so much I had to remove a star.“

“This place is amazing! Great customer service, food was delicious! Did not disappoint at all. Will come back soon for sure!“

“Gorgeous and spacious. The reno is outstanding, there are multiple spaces to group together, have drinks or dinner! A must try!“

“Restaurant food and service was excellent. Only complaint was they set a table for 16 people down the middle of the restaurant. Table was noisy and all the couples around the perimeter were upset. Poor decision on setting up the large table.“

“This is a good, down to earth Pizza and Italian food place. It's in a bit of a fancy area but this place isn't fancy in the best possible way. Good food, good service. The garlic knots were great. The mozzarela sticks were OK, the pizza was pretty good. Very good value. I would definitely go back. They are doing a good job.“

“We have had our handcrafted toy booth, Tigerseyecrafts, at this event for a number of years. It is exciting and loads of fun. See you there.“

“Never disappointed here!!!!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️We had an amazing experience at Bear Canyon Pizza in Tucson! My husband and I shared a 12-inch veggie pizza with meatball, and it was absolutely delicious, fresh, flavorful, and perfectly made.
If you’re visiting as a couple, the 12-inch pizza is the perfect size to share. We’ll definitely be back!“

“We had a wonderful blessed experience not only enjoying their delicious sushi, but with their customer care!💯😁 The owner took her time to not only make sure our experience was good, but got to know us ending our night with positivity and delight!💯 Food is fantastic and I highly recommend stopping by during the week or weekend. Ask for the Tucson Rolls they are so yummy! 🍣 Definitely A+ and you won't be disappointed! Thank you again for your service and we will return soon!“

“Eating their yummy calzones and pizzas for years at the gem show on 22nd! This year they were super busy and got our order wrong. They offered to make it right but we know they are swamped and were more than happy with our pizzas instead of calzones! Thank you!!“

“We had the most delightful meal last evening. We ordered the Lasagna and one of their great salads and the two of us shared. Absolutely our kind of Lasagna, the best we've had anywhere in S Arizona. And the salad... Wow I would recommend Oreganos without hesitation. Thanks, we're coming back soon.“

“Best shrimp Alfredo I’ve ever had! Has some chipotle spice, but you can get light chipotle if you don’t like it too spicy. Staff was super friendly and food was phenomenal!! Will be my go to for Italian food!“

“The good food. The upstairs party room.“

“Great food and very attentive service. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“I really like that Greek salad a lot! I decided to order a calzone for the first time in 20 years and did the Italian beef and Italian sausage with a hot giardiniera and it was perfection! Good place to go watch a game if you don't have cable I don't know why it's not busier there it's a nice little joint to grab a bite to eat. Thankful for one of the few late-night options in the area.“

“Good four and great service.“
