“The food here is excellent. Staff is very friendly and kind. Felt a little rushed towards the end of the dinner. Probably because they are only opened for a few hours. Overall, I can't get over how delish this food is. Definitely a new favorite. I recommend the Foccacia Bread Board for an appetizer. The bread paired with honey, pears and mozzarella was divine. The Manicotti was so good and the chocolate cake with a glass of moscato was the perfect way to end the meal. 5 stars!“
“This little restaurant situated in the corner of a strip mall is an absolute revelation. It's an unbelievable addition to the area and a must try. We started by ordering a tray of their chipotle chicken fettuccine. It will ruin you for all other places that offer a version of chicken fettuccine. It's beyond good. The chipotle sauce is creamy and has a nice subtle kick. The chicken is grilled perfectly and yet stays moist. The pasta itself has the perfect bite to it. I can't say enough. It's that good. Next up we tried the Italian chopped salad. The salad had no business being that good. I hate salads and this salad converted me instantly. The greens were crispy and fresh and the dressing was to die for. This is one salad you will not regret ordering. We came back the next day and ordered the lasagna. This lasagna does not belong in a restaurant without Michelin stars. It was layer upon layer of cheesy awesomeness with a delicate marinara sauce in between. I can't wait for the day where you can taste pictures because this lasagna blew our mind. We are fat boys so we had to give the Meat Lovers pizza a try. There are no words. The dough has a perfect texture and the cheese melts so good. The toppings were generous and you had a bite of something meaty in every bite. Last, but not least, the bread. We tried the regular bread rolls but there was nothing regular about them. Absolutely fluffy pillows of goodness that were good by themselves or great with any of our pasta dishes. We also had the garlic bread which was maybe the only pedestrian thing about our meal. I prefer my garlic bread a bit more buttered but held up well to the sauces. Finally, the bruschetta. Crispy toast with the freshest tomatoes and dressing. A must have if you have the room. Don't sleep on this spot. It's worth the visit from literally anywhere.“
“Found this random food truck driving home … looked like a genuine Italian family making these pizzas . They were very nice ! There were people in line before us and after too so it seems pretty popular!! They made the pizza really quickly - made to order ! We ordered the pesto and the margerita pizza . It was a good portion . Fresh and looked pretty ! The flavors were good - it was a nice simple pizza“
“Was craving for a good italian sub and found this hidden gem near my work! Located across from the hospital. Parking was easy; street and parking lot behind the restaurant. Inside was filled with Italian goodies. They sold alcohol, cookies, bread, pasta, cheese, etc. Towards the back of the restaurant was tables to sit down and enjoy your sandwich. Came here for the 1st time with my coworker and we tried the Classic 6' sub with 2 sides. I got the macaroni salad and broccoli salad. The sides tasted ok to me but could be better. However, the sandwich was very tasty. I love how much meat and filling it was. I ate it all! We got a piece of tiramisu and that was very very good! The prices are affordable and the portions are huge. Definitely a place to go for lunch or anytime you are carving for a good Italian sandwich! *TIP: call to place your order if you are in a time crunch. We waited for 30 minutes for our food.“
“First time here and I have to say, it’s pretty darn good!!! The antipasto salad was loaded with meat and cheese. The garlic bread is very tasty. I had the Chicken Marsala….. It was very good! Everyone was very pleased with their food. Looking forward to trying the pizza next, it looked delicious!!Parking: They have a small parking lot but we had no trouble finding a spot.Kid-friendliness: What kid doesn’t love spaghetti, pasta and pizza??!! Bring them, they will love it!“
“Super friendly employees. I had a big order for my husbands birthday and it was ready really quickly. We had a XL pepperoni and my family loved how fluffy the crust was and how cheese it was. We also had the potatoes and some wings. Potatoes weren't too crispy nor soggy. They were made perfect for little kids. The wings were crispy and had a lot of sauce so they weren't dry. Highly recommend this place.“
“Great little pizza place with fast lunch service. Pizza was good, price was right, and the store is clean. They accidentally overcharged me by $0.50, which they realized when they gave me my slices, and immediately offered a cash refund. No need since they deserved that as additional tip.“
“Best pizza since I was a child. Moved out of town but can't help to make a pit stop every time I'm near! They sell pizza by the slice and their sandwiches are just as bomb. Thank you for still existing Scardino's you are a neighborhood staple ✊???“
“My go-to place for Italian subs. ??I announce the motocross races here in Southern California and I always have to have Claro's up in the tower when I'm on the mic. ??I get the spicy Mike large and I have them swap out the ghost pepper jack with manchego cuz I'm digging sheep and goat cheese right now. It's fantastic either way. ??There's plenty of parking at this location and they're not stingy with the portions. The staff is extremely friendly and they have lots of goodies in the market to browse and try. Today I brought home an Italian artisan beer and I have to say it is fantastic. Mastri Birrai Umbri IPA. ?Ask for Kathy, Paloma, or Cecilia (aka Cici). ??“
“Just had my engagement dinner here and it was absolutely amazing. Everyone loved the food, and they were beyond satisfied with the customer service because our waiters were so attentive and kind. I thought having a big party would cause an issue but they were on top of everything. Cosmo was very kind and helpful with everything from establishing a menu, to making sure the guests were taken care of. I would definitely recommend this place to everyone.“

“Tucked away in the back corner of a strip mall in Hacienda Heights. This neighborhood gem Italian deli doesn't occupy a large space, but the space feels really efficient with a full service deli on one side and the other side having a place to order sandwiches/ prepared Italian foods with an area to sit. Like most Italian delis I've been to, this place sells a decent variety of market/ dry goods well. The prices here for the foods/ goods are more than reasonable and the overall place has that old school feel or at least the feel that this place has been here for quite a while. Came here on a rec from a coworker. Not sure if I was super hungry at the time, but I walked in greeted by friendly people and delicious smells coming from their hot dishes/ pastas. I ordered the Italian Grinder Sandwich (6 inch or regular size). Again, not sure if I was just particularly hungry at the time, but this sandwich was so fricken great. It had the classic Italian sub flavor profile and I though the bread they used was fantastic. Nice, soft and chewy with a nice firmness/crunch on the outside. The sandwich was more than enough. I actually was really tempted to buy some of the prepared pasta dishes to go for dinner (lasagna or baked rigatoni). Definitely would love to comeback to try some of my other classic fave sandwiches like chicken or eggplant parm. Or their Tuesday Guido sandwich special or pastrami sandwich. Parking was really easy to find because there is a pretty sizable lot relative to the traffic this place gets during the day.“
“An extraordinary find! This winery's Sherry selection is unparalleled, and the staff's recommendations added a personal touch to the tasting experience. The ambiance, resembling a private estate, creates a charming atmosphere. The exclusive November Sherry sale adds an element of anticipation to this phenomenal, must-visit winery.“
“RCP FTW! Brian is the most down to earth pizza shop owner you will meet. His crew's creation for different pizzas are limitless. Stay for the pie while you browse around at their artwork on the walls from local artists.Parking: Lots of parking“
“First time here. Found this gem off Yelp and it did not disappoint! The owner knows how to serve delicious food! I was craving breakfast and my French toast combo was excellent! My son had the crispy chicken waffle sandwich and it looked great and he said it was really good. My daughter in love had the biscuits and gravy and I tried it as well -so flavorful!!! So do yourselves a favor and pay patronage to this local establishment! For those that remember the movie "Blood in, Blood out" he has a lot of movie memorabilia as decor so that was pretty cool as well!“
“The pizza is amazing. Salads are OK. The wait staff is young... and often more interested in socializing with each other than taking care of customers. On my last visit our waiter forgot a number of things. Including to put our order in with the kitchen. We ended up being there for almost two hours. And no one apologized.“
“I was invited to a lunch with my senior ladies, who make hand made items for hospice patients.I was pleased with our waiter Erick, who single handedly took care of over 30 ladies orders. He was very attentive to our orders & refilled our drinks & bread without asking.I had their meat sauce w pasta, it was almost as good as my own!I plan on coming back with my mother & stepdad soon.“
“Went to Giovanni's to celebrate my wife's birthday. Decided to keep it local and came here for the 1st time. We really enjoyed the food and service here, the lobster ravioli was delicious, the clam linguine was good too! Our server was great and the atmosphere was relaxed and quiet. If your in downtown Covina this place is a gem. Definitely recommend Giovanni's for a nice dinner. Btw the cocktails were ??“
“If you like Italian food, then you've got to stop here.I was going to try some of the pasta. However, they had a grilled chicken panini, which sounded amazing >And it Was !!!There were artichokes, the mozzarella was thick and fresh and the chicken was grilled perfectly with a fresh pesto sauce.I chose a side of shoestring french fries which you can get also garlic Style.And this location offers outside seating for a great atmosphere.“
“OMG! I love their lasagna. I have not had a lasagna so good since I don't know when. I don't eat sandwiches but my family did, and the turkey and pastrami looked rather tasty. Bread was fresh and crusty but not crumbly. The service was fast even though it was pretty busy. I will be heading back to hoard up my freezer with their lasagna. And to try their pizza.“
“We have lived in West Covina for 8 years, every time we would go to Weinerschnitzel we would say let's try this place.. why did we wait so long!!!... we ordered the pesto chicken sandwich, bread tasted so fresh, pesto was delicious!, the margarita pizza was the best pizza I've had in a long time, and the Cobb salad was great! but the best part, we didn't know we could call ahead, so we were in the drive thru line quite a while, the person opened the window and gave each of us a salad and roll while we waited!... it was the avocado chicken salad!... it was delicious! This will be our go to place for Italian to go and the prices were very reasonable! Again why did we wait so long! Don't pass this place up!“
“This is one of our usual Italian places for takeout since they no longer have dine in. We had a take out order for hot chicken parmesan sandwich, added the extra cheese and veggies like onions, mushrooms and green peppers, (but they forgot to add that in; hence the -1) like they have for their hoagies. And also ordered the side quart salad with extra dressing on the side. This place is always consistent with their flavors and always fresh. This was perfect for two people to share. And we added a can of Dr. Pepper. The staff are very friendly and helpful. If you like condiments, you have to ask for it. I always ask for red pepper flakes, plates, forks, and napkins. They pack it nicely in a box always. The wait time is usually about 15-20 mins depending on the amount of orders they get. Usually, by the time I place the order and drive out, it's ready for me. They have a small parking lot in the back and side street parking on Coolidge Ave off Washington Blvd. Enjoy!!“
“***Update *** I saved the leftover slices from my party. Wrapped them in foil individually and put them in a freezer bag. Completely forgot but TODAY I didn't feel like cooking...snooping around the kitchen for something easy to fix aaaannnnnd boom! So happy I was lol. Anywho, I popped them in the airfry for 5 minutes on 350 aaaannddd booooom! Dinner done and it was just a delicious. Gonna go back for another round.“
“Hole in the wall kind of place that's been there for a long time. Solid old school Italian food and menu selection. The meat sauce is very good and the garlic knots are delicious. Reasonably priced for quantity and quality especially in today's economy.“
“My family & I used to come here every so often throughout the years when I was a kid. I’ve also been here, here & there as an adult but hadn’t been here in years since I don’t live near the area anymore. Anyway, recently I had their Di Pilla’s Special Pizza & it was still pretty good like it was years ago but a little different than before?. I’ve also had their Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken & their simple fresh baked bread as well as their Lasagna in the past which were all really good?. This is a family owned restaurant that’s been around for years & passed on generation after generation.“
“my absolute favorite local pizza place! The pizza here is SO good - not oily at all, super fresh, and huge portions. The wings are also crispy and flavorful. The meatball sub is HUGE and the meat sauce is DIVINEEEE- you can tell everything is made fresh to order here and the owners really care about the quality of what they make and keeping their customers happy. 5/5 we love you marco polo pizza!!!!“
“I have loved this restaurant right after it first opened, with the original owner. Since then it has changed hands and the new owner has kept up its quality remarkably. Great menu and not bad pricing. It’s a cute space in Old Town Monrovia.“
“My wife and I love this restaurant. The gluten free pasta is her favorite of any place she's been and the servers are so friendly. The gluten free pizza is awesome too. You really can't go wrong with anything on.The atmosphere is so calm and beautiful. Literally nothing I've eaten their has disappointed me.“
“Came here yesterday for happy hour with friends. Place is a hidden gem... Plenty of seats available, televisions to watch games, mixed music selection. They have a pool table and karaoke room. Plenty of drinks options or bartender was awesome. The asada fries, garlic fries, wings and Brussel sprouts were delicious. Will be back...“
“We were very hungry, ordered delivery. I didn't know they delivered. The pepperoni pizza was good, good taste, good crust. The antipasto salad was good, although not really an antipasto. I ordered the meatballs and thought they were great. They came in a dish with marinara, onions, green peppers. The marinara was very flavorful. I put the garlic bread to good use by thoroughly cleaning the dish to get all the marinara. Less expensive Than ordering from Domino's, and much MUCH better. We've always like this place.“
“Great local Italian restaurant with a good selection of dishes and drinks. The food is good and the staff are nice and timely. The place could use a face lift in the entrance, but hopefully more customers can help make that happen. The parking lot gets packed around 6 pm.“
“The food was great! The pizza had a little too much grease for my taste, but the flavor and taste were delicious. The price is about what you would expect from similar places. Nice and clean inside. The staff were attentive and courteous. Able to watch the football game and still have a good conversation at the table. Would recommend it!“
“It was a very nice time for dinner. I met my family who were coming from Disney. Knowing that my family would be arriving tired from an all day Disney day, they immediately got us a table. Sure enough, as soon as I sat down, they arrived.The staff at this Olive Garden was VERY hospitable and accommodating. Thank you OLIVE GARDEN.“
“Out of the plenty of times that I've been to Olive garden today that the service from Zack and Jacob and another gentleman was extremely above and beyond. They made our birthday dinner. Such a wonderful experience. We need more waiters like them.Parking: Always more than enough parking. You may have to walk, but it's a short distance and it helps after eating all that delicious food.Kid-friendliness: I love that I can order for my kids before anyone else.“
“This is the best pizza I've ever ate. The plus part is that it's priced reasonably. They give you alot of toppings and it's cheesy. I just wish they would have one closer to where I live.Kid-friendliness: The ladies that work there are very respectful and kind. They are very hard workers. I hope this gives them a raise. Lol“
“I love the Pizza Oven. All of their food is good and their service goes over and beyond. My family comes here a lot and they never disappoint. But recently I decided to have them cater at banquet for me. They were helpful making sure I had enough food for everyone gave me a price ahead of time, so I know exactly how much I needed that day. On the day, our car couldn't fit everything and both owners helped us by bringing whatever didn't fit to our location. Everyone at our event, love the food and even took plates to go. Thank you pizza oven for being so kind and helpful. You have made lifelong customers out of us.“
“Nice neighborhood Italian deli and fast casual restaurant. Really missed the original Lascari's on Whittier Blvd so we gave this deli location a try. Was surprised at the pasta and pizza options. The pasta dishes and chicken piccata were all pretty good. The minestrone soup is excellent. Pizza was also delicious. Large selection at the Deli. Great local place for a quick bite with reasonable prices.“
“2nd time ordering from Papa Pizza Pie for Superbowl Sunday. The place was overwhelmed with orders and drivers waiting for pickup. They handled the situation well with decent communication but did have to wait an extra ~30 mins to receive my pre-order from the night before. Pizza was good, Buffalo wings came dry with no seasoning (not sure if this was an error in the Slice app that I used to order as preferred method from their website) and French fries were flavorless. Our previous experience was fantastic with great tasting food and value as my brother-in-law said it was probably the best vegan pizza he's ever tasted. Hoping this was a one time glitch and we'll give them another try in the future but will likely just stick with the pizza.“
“Was craving some New York pizza with ricotta and found this spot. Unassuming location doesn't do the food justice. The pizza was great! Very reasonably priced. I've got the menu handy on my fridge for the next craving. We preordered using the online service which was quick and easy. Food ready when we got there. Could see going and sitting in just to get a quiet moment away from more crowded spots. They have a great lunch special for under $10.“
“We decided to shake things up this Christmas by ordering dinner from Palermo, and boy, are we glad we did! We went for the Prime Rib and Ham single dinners, and let me tell you, the portions were massive! The Prime Rib was perfectly cooked, and the mashed potatoes and green beans were cooked to perfection--absolutely delicious.As for the ham, it was succulent and not dry at all. The sides complemented it beautifully. Now, let's talk dessert. The German Chocolate Cake and Red Velvet were a delightful way to end the meal--moist and flavorful.Overall, Palermo delivered a Christmas dinner that was not only filling but also incredibly tasty. We're already counting down the days to order our New Year's dinner.“
“This is the second time that I have eaten here and on my second visit I was blown away. After going to RT Rodgers Breweries 6th Anniversary I came in for a slice of pizza. Last time I had their NY style pepperoni but I was happy to see a whole Detroit style pepperoni which I had to order and order I did. I ate it there and happily waited for about 10 minutes as they heat up my slice. When my slice was ready it looked delicious. Lifting my slice up to my mouth I bit into it. The crust was airy, the rim was crispy and the pepperoni was great and not greasy. The sauce on top was over ther top and had a subtle tomato sweetness that complained the whole slice. The next time I come here I will definitely be ordering a whole Detroit pepperoni.“
“We had a group of 20 people in the area for a national track meet. The meet ended late, and we knew the athletes would need to refuel before going to bed that evening, and starting early the next day.Daniel, Jose and their crew at Olive Garden did an incredible job taking care of us! They allowed us to place our order ahead of time, so the food would be ready when the athletes arrived. The table is ready for us, and the food came out, just as the athletes arrived from their meet.They took care of our large party with exceptional service, and the food was delicious! We could not have asked for a better experience!Highly recommend this restaurant for their food, service, and outstanding staff! Thanks, Olive Garden!“
“This is my favorite place to eat in Rowland area. The food is always on point. I believe it's one of the best Cantonese cafes in all of SGV. My favorite item to order here is the mushroom truffle pizza. Their pizzas are so good. The dough is crispy on the outside but nice and chewy on the inside. They use enough cheese and are generous with the mushrooms. I also love their fillet mignon and shrimp as well as their chicken steak meals. All the food is really fresh and quick. They are packed every day during lunch and dinner times so definitely try to come early and get a seat!“
“Our meal was exceptionally good last night. We started with the rosemary bread basket which was soft with a nice crust. My sister loved her spaghetti and meat balls. My chicken piccata was sautéed in lemon butter, wine and capers and was delicious. I substituted the spaghetti side for angel hair pasta. The veggies were a bit al dente but heated up nicely as leftovers. The portions were large so plenty leftover for another meal. Service was excellent. Very attentive and cordial. Definitely would go back.“
“Service was fine , it was just awkward the busses or people from the kitchen just kept staring at my date and I, made use uncomfortable for sure, we were I'm casual attire so I don't know if that was odd to them.also the waitres did offer more breads ticks like more waitresses do,I guess I have to keep asking“
“There was a very large party taking up the entire center of the restaurant. This first visit was surprisingly very good. As busy as they were, the service was good. The portions were huge. The downside was not enough sauce for the portion of fettuccine. Also, the eggplant flavor was off. The spaghetti, lasagna, soup, bread, and mozzarella sticks were very good. Will have to come back and try the pizza.“
“This place gave me the feel of Del Rae in Pico Rivera. Love the atmosphere, service was excellent. No hovering over my table. Food was delicious. Fell in love with the cheesecake dessert! I will definitely return when I am back in the area. It has an old time feel that you have to experience.“
“I love this place. I have been ordering food here for years. Everything that I have tried from their menu is delicious. The staff has always been friendly. The only thing that frustrates me are the hours. I can never seem to catch when it is open anymore. Also wish they would take orders to go again.“
“This is my go to place for their amazing salad. Their pizza is amazing also. I am sad that they close their doors for indoor eating. This was always my place to go to eat one. I went to Kaiser Permanente in Baldwin Park. Wish they would open their indoor seating again.“
