“THE BEST PIZZA OF THIS AWESOME STATE!!“

“We ate here last night and it was phenomenal! Both of our entrees were delicious (I got the pasta rustica, my fiancé got a calzone) and the service was incredible. The tiramisu was some of the best I’ve ever had in my life. At the end of the night we talked to the new owner who had been serving us throughout the evening, and she couldn’t have been more kind and welcoming. It sounds like this place already had a good reputation, but I can’t wait to see what Nancy does with it! She’s a star. We’re not from this area but if we’re ever back we’ll go out of our way to come back here!“

“Their gluten free options are outstanding!“

“Family owned. Traditional menu. Fabulous desserts. Friendly staff.“

“Loved it💚🤍♥️ I had the Lobster Ravioli and it was so delicious. The Hostess, Service, Waiter were all awesome! And most importantly great atmosphere. Thank you!!“

“It was really cool! We went in a big group of around 8 people, and they gave us a table in a separate room, which felt like a family dinning room. It was really cozy! The food was also delicious. Plus, the 10.99 lunch deal is super worth it, with breadsticks, a soup or salad (I got a soup), and and entree. The Alfredo is on point!“

“BEST PIZZA EVER! The staff is amazing, the restaurant is beautiful, but the food…delicious!“

“Been here many times. The old owners are now gone. The new owners straight from Europe The Giaqnni family has changed the plate ware, expanded wine and beer, same chef's and are starting a lunch menu and they say soon a breakfast menu. I had 15 for dinner Saturday night. Food great, fun and wait staff engaging. Owners visited as well. You will like the new settings.“

“Our visit last night was not the experience I was hoping for. We have gone to Amici's for years. Our first time was way back when they were still at 53rd. and Sheridan. I had the eggplant parmesan, which was very good. I don't know if the kitchen staff changes, or what? The eggplant portion was very small, three slices of eggplant the size of a silver dollar.“

“We had the most fabulous meal last night. The new menu is fantastic. Still haven’t had a bad meal at Bistro Del Lago. Hats off to the staff for doing such a great job.“

“I think I stopped going because I went so often that I became fed up 😅 but it was actually really delicious everything so fresh. It was great!

Update: I started going again and everything is still super delicious and their salads and soups are the best 👌🏼“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – Exceptional Customer Service

My fiancé and I dined at Olive Garden tonight. At the end of our meal, while I was packaging my leftovers, I noticed a hair in my pasta sauce. I showed our waiter, and he immediately offered to have a fresh plate remade for me to take home, which I really appreciated.

Before our food had arrived earlier in the evening, the manager, John, had stopped by our table to introduce himself—which already felt like a thoughtful gesture. After the waiter addressed the issue, John came by again personally to apologize for the hair in my food. He not only arranged for my pasta to be remade, but he also gave us a generous discount on our bill, as well as provided us with a gift card to use on our next visit.

I was genuinely shocked by the level of customer care and the way John handled the situation. His professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to making things right turned an unfortunate moment into an incredibly positive experience. I left feeling very taken care of and grateful.

We will absolutely be returning. Thank you, John, and team!“

“Delish food and great service all in a beautiful but comfortable setting.“

“Absolutely loved my experience here!! Bianka was the BEST (and funniest) waitress ever and she made our entire time such a joy! Would definitely recommend coming here and will of course be back :)

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free pizza was great!!!“

“Great food and service! Shout out to the manager on Oct 14th—she was so patient and kind while training her staff on a busy Friday night. We had exceptional service from Alex, the young cashier. My 88-year-old dad, who has dementia, was with me, and Alex took the time to chat with him, even when he repeated himself. Such a kind and genuine person—Garramone’s is lucky to have staff like this!“

“Stumbled on this place because my son wanted Italian (noodles, basically). This place was really great. Delicious food, great service, stellar atmosphere. Highly recommend!“

“Their food has always been good and tasty. I had one of their trio's of lasagna, chicken parmasian and fettucci alfredo and it came with a side, I had the soup. I was able to take half my meal home. I think the portion sizes were OK but a little pricey. All in all, we'll return.“

“good food, good service, reasonable price.“

“😁This past sunday we had a private dinner buffet service for my 70th birthday. The food was great, the service was terrific, and the entire evening was magical. I highly recommend this restaurant. Our favorite since pre-COVID, and we will continue to support this family owned business.“

“Great service, went in with a group of just over 20. All of us from out of the the area and not familiar with the menu. Young man serving us was spot on. You couldn't of expected more. Thank you for making the process and experience enjoyable for all of us.“

“We got this delivered to our Air B n B couple times while in town. Can't complain at all. The garlic knots delicious, the kids spaghetti good and great size, the meatballs delicious and the cheese filled raviolis awesome. We loved it.“

“The food here cannot be beat- excellent, fresh, delicious, from-scratch-tasting, amazing everything. Don’t let the location (unassuming strip mall by the gas station) run you off- this is damn good Italian food and definitely worth trying.“

“First time eating at Nicolo’s. I always thought It was just pizza pick up place but today we had ravioli filled with (shredded prime rib and carrots) and a beautiful vegetable lasagna. The Alfredo sauce was so delicious and Full of flavor. The marinara had a little kick to it! Definitely bringing the family back for indoor dining!“

“Amazing food!! Never ordered something and been disappointed. Baked Spaghetti!!“

“I ordered a large meat lovers with extra cheese. Out... standing. I really like their sauce and with the amount of meat they put on it, getting extra cheese nailed it for me. Great crust, cooked perfectly. Also, the gentleman working behind the counter and the staff were very kind and friendly. I have been here twice and will continue coming here. Very good.“

“We've had the opportunity to eat at Homegrown Tap & Dough a few times since they've opened. I've been there with both my family with small kids and my friends. They never disappoint! We've had such an amazing experience there each time. The atmosphere is unbeatable, the food is amazing and they have a great selection of drinks! My kids love going to get food here, we were able to sit and dine in the gondola one of the times we had dinner and it made their night! They have free video games to keep the kids entertained while they're waiting for their food. Make sure to check out their beautiful fire place inside and their outdoor patio! You won't be disappointed!“

“The pizza is ok. my daughter liked it but she is 5 so she will eat just about anything. it just depends on what you like i guess“

“Service is Excellent and Food is SUPERB“

“Your place is neat and clean. The food is fantastic. The servers are pleasant, but they cannot count. My change was 88 cents (3 quarters, 1 dime, and 3 pennies) after staring in the till for a few seconds, I got back 3 quarters. The new "math"!!!!!! October 1, 2024, Well it looks like no one at your place gives correct change. Coins seem to be an involuntary donation to your business. Guess we could begin rounding the check down to eliminate the coins, but you would scream like a stuck hog. Only solution is to modify the "tip" to recover the coins!!!!!!!!“

“This location is phenomenal the service is great the food is always great I would recommend to anybody and everybody. I am hesitant recommend anybody as I want it to be my only personal local spot but I continue to recommend to everyone I know“

“The guy James was very helpful from the wheatridge location. I had called the main costmer service line so wasnt sure what place I called got a hold of. So, when I called The lakewood store to check on my pizza, they were very rude in mentioning I didn't have an order there and they didnt even try to help me find the located that had mineI had paid on a credit card I tried to tell them they didnt care to hear it. When I finally got in touch with the right store the guy James was very nice and told me the pizza is on its way. That they are sorry for how the other store was to me and that he vaules his costumers.“

“We had a great time at Pietra’s. We reserved their party room any it was amazing! They had a salad and pizza buffet, very reasonable. Good food and great atmosphere Their service and attention to us was outstanding! Thank you for making our friend’s birthday a special one!“

“Fantastic! Loved the Pizza, Salad, and Dessert. We had a last minute event and ordered what was needed. They were able to quickly accommodate us and we will definitely order from them again. The delivery person was great as well. Thank you!“

“This is the place to go when everyone can't agree on what they want.

Pizza? It's there and good.
Wings? They're there and pretty good.
Gyro? Indian food? It's there and it's pretty good.

It's a good middle ground restaurant that makes everyone happy with good food. I love the options.“

“This is about the only place around that makes Avery decent calzone. The pearl puzzle is also very good. I love their house salad and the jalapeno and artichoke dip is excellent. I was also introduced to a different and very good gin on my last visit“

“Anthony's pizza is always good. I haven't been to this location before so I was excited to try it. The pizza was huge and it was hot and fresh.. I would highly recommend this location to anyone looking for some good pizza and a quick bite. It was clean and the service was good. I will definitely be back to this location again...
