“I was starting to miss the flavors of home after weeks of eating American food. Luckily, my friend @Massimiliano Russomanno knew just the place to take me. Antonio Sessa's Made in Italy was a delightful surprise. Every bite transported me back to Italy. The food was prepared with such care and passion that it was clear this Italian Chef had a truly deep love for our cuisine. If you're craving authentic Italian food, I highly recommend giving this place a try 🥰🥰👍🏻🫶🙌🏻🙌🏻“

“So far the best authentic Italian pizza I have had in 10 years living in USA. And I am Italian so that says enough! Everything was perfect. High quality food. Forza ragazzi 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹“

“Where to begin… went there for my son wedding rehearsal dinner 22 of us. I’m full blooded Italian don’t really care for Italian food. This place absolutely blew my mind. My family’s mind absolutely incredible. Atmosphere was amazing. We sat in a private back room plenty of space beautiful wine racks in the room made it feel very old-school Italian. The food was absolutely unbelievable. I don’t care for pasta at all, and I was blown away eight all three of the second course pasta which included gnocchi, rigatoni, and mushroom raviolis. The gnocchi 10 times better than my aunt and grandmother’s with a green pesto sauce. absolutely unbelievable. Chicken piccata, New York sliced steak and the Bronzino give it 10 stars. But what absolutely blew my mind was the Customer Service Diego the manager treated us like Rock stars. The other two waiters forgot their name sorry by far. The best Customer Service that I’ve ever had 59 years on this planet. It is an absolute must specially if you like Italian food the atmosphere was beautiful patio was incredible though we did not sit in the patio. I’d give it 15 stars instead of five. It is an absolute must visit. You will not be disappointed.“

“This restaurant surprised me, fun vibrant atmosphere suitable for adults... not for little kids. Full bar, experienced bartenders who have been working here for years. Food was delicious and well thought out. Parking was easy and plentiful.“

“Talk about authentic Italian deserts! I spent more on desert than dinner. The food - service - atmosphere and entertainment were all amazing. Can’t recommend this place enough!“

“Friendly people, amazing food. Very nice to their musicians. 🙏🎶“

“Wonderful! Beautiful setting!Relaxing atmosphere! Great service!“

“Good food and nice people.“

“The banner said under new ownership, but all the style, food and excellent service remained with the veteran crew. The food was delicious and the service was personable and outstanding. The homey small shop feel made it feel like family dinner instead of a restaurant. Will return again.“

“Amazingly unique and delicious food, fun atmosphere and wonderful service. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Four of us went to Tuscany for dinner on Friday night. Made a reservation for 6pm and sat outside. The weather was perfect, the staff was super friendly and the food was great.“

“great food and service intimate atmosphere“

“Had a great dinner at Ameci with a friend! We ordered the largest pepperoni & Canadian bacon pizza plus a cheeseburger with fries—everything was delicious. Took leftovers and some chocolate mousse home, and her family loved it too.

Shoutout to Max for making the experience even better. He was training a new team member, juggling delivery calls, helping customers, and still stayed calm, patient, and super kind the whole time. He puts in the level of effort that definitely deserves recognition and I hope is valued the way it should be!

Thanks for a great night—we’ll be back!“

“The food is consistently fresh and very good; the staff is kind and helpful. I have been going here (Simi) for over three years, and I have family in Ventura, and found the Ventura location near the Ventura Government Center, also the same quality of food and staff there. I recommend them! Great Food and Great Value!“

“Absolutely amazing restaurant
Started out with appetizer little pieces of bread with seasoning and the marinara sauce you can tell was absolutely homemade delicious
The olive oil oil was and bread matched that of the quality of Italy
the Branzino fish dish was absolutely amazing. The vegetables were crisp and fresh. The carrots were delicious.
My family ordered the medallion steaks were also exceptional
The chicken dish and the seafood pasta was also as good as the rest of the dishes

For dessert, the tiramisu and the tart with vanilla ice cream and the dark chocolate tropics were to die for

Would highly recommend this place if you’re interested in a totally authentic experience that matches the quality of the best restaurants in all of Italy“

“The food was delicious, service by Danielle was fabulous. No rush just plenty of time to total enjoy our food. The food cook by Eddie was more them delicious it's was fabulous.
Thank you all for a special night out just to enjoy good meal and great company with my huddy. ❤️“

“We had a great night at Vincitore. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the service made the whole experience very enjoyable. The food was excellent, especially the pizza and the spaghetti alla vodka bolognese, which were both outstanding. The pizza had a perfect crust and great flavor, and the pasta was rich, well-balanced, and clearly made with care.
The owner was incredibly hospitable and truly went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. That personal touch really made the evening memorable.
Overall it was a wonderful night, and we will definitely be coming back.“

“Talk about authentic Italian deserts! I spent more on desert than dinner. The food - service - atmosphere and entertainment were all amazing. Can’t recommend this place enough!“

“Food is always good here and service as well. I love the endless soup with their meals. Lunch time is a great bargain. Wish they'd have have the option of the sandwiches coming on Italian bread than just all on the bread sticks but they are still pretty good for the price. I go for the meatball sand because it's a cheaper bargain price and I thought it was much better tasting than the chicken sandwich which was about the same as you'd get at Burger King. My wife and I come to Olive Garden mostly when they have the GET ONE TAKE ONE HOME DEAL. Can't beat that. The only reason I don't give this place 5 stars is because all their chicken is not that good and is the same yuck kind you can get at any fast food joint. The meatballs are great. But then if you want to add them to you spaghetti dinner, they charge an extra $3 for 3 meatballs or sausage even. Then that makes spaghetti & meatballs come to about $16 and that is overpriced imo. On some visits the spaghetti sauce is caked with thick tomato slices in it and no other options because it's all made that day. Some days the sauce is more meaty and then the next visit tons of too much tomato slices and it's all watery. Also, being a bigger guy, almost every time we've been here, it's been a bit embarrassing being seated at booths that don't fit me and then having to move and I think the host or hostess should know better and know their tables. Otherwise this is a place we go to for lunch and only for dinner when they have the buy one take one home deal.“

“Our server Jake is the best,(not from statefarm) looks just like maxmoefoe, gonna always ask got him if hes working when i come in next. Hope he never leaves this restraunt and i can grow old coming to this restraunt amd having jake be my server. You are the best. I will never forget you.“

“Had the greatest time. Not a huge wine fan but their options are so vast and a very knowledgeable sommelier. A wine for every person. The entire spectrum from white to red and every shade in between. I loved the place.“

“Everything great Always great food and service“

“Excellent entertainment by Mark Anthony ! Also the food was fabulous !!!!“

“Food was reasonable fresh & good just got a sub glad I went here !! Better service & fast then subway which next door !! Looked at menu everything was looking good“

“So good that my cousin and I went there three times in one week! The food was really good, especially for the price, the staff (all three waiters we had!) were knowledgable, helpful, kind/friendly, and the atmosphere on the patio was pleasant. This seems like a small thing but most of the time when I order salmon and ask for it to be on the tender/rare side my request is ignored -- not at Rosti, they got it right! The vegetables and potatoes were well-cooked, and the house-baked bread was soooo good! 100% recommend.“

“Great experience. Will definitely bring my kids and all visitors here“

“I’ve been visiting Mediterraneo as long as it has been open. It is one of my all-time favorite restaurants based on service, amazing menu, quality food, decor, atmosphere, and of course the dessert & bar. Truly perfect for everything from a business meeting, family gathering, or romantic date night. All- around phenomenal-I rate 5-stars. DianeBrewer“

“A++++ FOOD AND STAFF ARE GREAT!!!! -ROANESYMON“

“Very friendly and great service. Sandwiches are so tasty, my favorites the #2! Will always recommend friends and family 😁“

“I did the takeout but I had to have the Pinot pasta with sausage but the chicken dinner which I wish I could remember the name of that special someone ordered? Was one of the best meals I’ve ever seen in my life and ever eaten… I had to have a bite of hers lol! The penne pasta with sausage was beyond yum!“

“I love the tranquility of sitting outside the service greeted me immediately and I couldn’t wait to order the fettuccine with chicken I understand this place is a little further up Scale in price but it’s worth every penny of it the seating is perfectly fenced off with glass windows but channels are nice breeze that gently cools you while you sit sipping whatever apéritif and enjoying the wonderful bread that is accompanied with a fantastic in-house spread. The fettuccine has larger noodles and you’ll be used to put the texture of the creamy wonderful sauce and the chicken fried so perfectly I blended pepper to give it the perfect aftertaste I literally would’ve eaten 20 pounds of this if I could but this is my special place to come every so often it is a Christmas and birthday gift to myself!“
