“As always, Olive Garden provided good food and lots of it for fair prices. Marissa, our server, was attentive and pleasant. The calamari appetizer, although a bit overdone, was plentiful with enough to take home. The seafood Alfredo was creamy and loaded with tender shrimp and scallops. The carbonara was delicious with shrimp and chicken. And the black tie mousse cake was luscious. We had enough left over for 2 more meals at home.“

“Not sure exactly where to start but this restaurant has some serious customer service issues and that's just one category we were very disappointed in. We ordered online last night to try it out as we saw so many great reviews for the food so we broke from tradition and on my birthday we decided to eat here. All we ordered was a Helen, Cheese Fondue, and the Meatball rigatoni. I received an email stating the food would be ready in about 45 minutes. We left 35 minutes later as it's only up the street from where we live. As we arrive we noticed it's a little corner spot with patrons and appears to be more of a quaint little sit down restaurant and my wife and I thought maybe next time we just come in instead of take out. We stood there for about 2-3 minutes and then guy yells from across the room that he will be with us in a minute. He didn't seem to have anything he was really doing but ok. So finally an older guy comes over and asks us if we have been helped. We told him we were there to pick up our order, and he says he will go check on it. After a few minutes he comes back and says he tried to call us (no record of any missed calls on my phone) and that the rigatoni with meatballs was not available and he wasn't sure how it let us order that online. We don't know either and we definitely know you didn't try calling us to tell us that. Anyways he provided the option for a refund or to make my wife another dish. He mentioned shrimp scampi as the alternative, now the rigatoni was $25 a plate and they didn't even have shrimp scampi on the menu so I was skeptical since usually if they make something good it would be on their menu. So we waited for another 10 minutes for this SCAMpi. I capitalize scam because that's exactly how we felt when they tried to give us this alternative dish and we looked at it. I wish I had taken a picture of what they brought out for $25.... It was literally a small portion of large macaroni noodles, and no more than maybe 6-7 small chunks of shrimp in some greasy sauce that looked totally unseasoned... Gross. I wouldn't feed anything that dish and they should have never tried to replace a main dish like that with something as disappointing as what we received. So I took the container back into the restaurant as we hadn't left the parking lot as I wanted to see first just what they felt was comparable to the $25 we just spent. I found the guy who helped us and just explained that we wanted the refund and the scampi was not acceptable. He said ok and said right after that the refund was already processed. Now to the other food. The pizza was $23 and the cheese fondue was $13. Normally $23 for a pizza isn't crazy, but this was literally the size of a medium if that, and was extremely bare of ingredients. It taste pretty good, but wasnt worth the money at all. I don't eat a lot, and I was able to eat half of this pizza alone without even blinking. The cheese fondue was ok but not memorable. So now today I get up and take a look at my bank account to see if the refund was actually processed, and what do I see? Instead of a refund, I was charged again for that SCAMpi and not actually refunded! I wouldn't dine here again with the lack of customer service, value, and lack of integrity. I will be going back in again to get this straightened out and am not happy about it.“

“The food was delicious, service was perfect and the ambiance was lovely. This place is always a great choice. 😊“

“A group of 10 of us just went here for our work dinner & we all loved it! All the appetizers were good especially the Bruschetta. My main pasta course was great & I loved the lemon cake. So good! We just moved to Vernon Street & we will definitely be going back! Awesome having this on our new street. Also the service was really good! Rebecca did great keeping everything running smoothly. Very attentive for a really busy restaurant! Can’t wait to go back & try something else:) Highly recommend this place!“

“The amazing crew at CRP has went above and beyond what any customer could ever want or expect. Their food is phenomenal! There pizza crust is out of this world and don’t it even get me started about the wings.!!
This place is a must go see for yourself“

“This is the best pizza and pasta-I also want to give a shout out to Anthony, who was very accommodating. Last time I ordered my order was wrong but I had already picked it up, and was at the house.. I called in and he made everything right and i was very pleased with his attitude and costumer service. Very nice staff here.“

“Great pizza. Worth the money!“

“I was so excited to find a Marcos! I haven’t had this pizza since I moved out of Ohio 15 years ago. It was better than I remembered! Staff was very friendly and store was very clean! We will surely be back. This will be replacing our Friday night Pizza Guys. So much better.“

“The last 4 times I've ordered pizza for the kids have been from Pizza Twist. This is a new favorite and my new go to for a quick pizza. The place is welcoming and the staff is pleasant. The pizza itself is amazing. Personally, I think this pizza is much better than Round Table Pizza or Mt. Mike's, for a more reasonable price.

Vegetarian options: You can have them build a pizza the way you like.

Kid-friendliness: What kid doesn't like a good pizza“

“This place is the bomb 💣 !“

“I love your pizza. the staff was very kind, allowed me to sit until the end of the working day in the restaurant (I was waiting for my husband) and even offered to put my pizza in the oven so that it would not get cold while I was waiting. I really appreciate it!I didn’t have time to take a photo - we ate your delicious pizza so quickly. Next time I will definitely do it!“
