“Pizza was amazing! Great service!“

“Delicious food and fantastic service. Can't wait to bring some more of the team in!“

“The service from Aiden was superb. He knew his menu and answered any questions we had. He was attentive to all of his tables, keeping drinks filled and inquiring if we needed refills on soup/salad and breadsticks. The food was very good. The pasta could use more sauce as it was a little dry, until Aiden brought out extra sauce to all of us. We truly appreciate his first rate service and representing the business well.“

“Fast and friendly service! Food portions are HUGE. Food was delicious. Spaghetti Pie was awesome.“

“I always get Spaghetti and meatballs with an extra meatball, perhaps two. Bruschetta, salad, cheesecake…Take out for sure. My adult children love the offerings from Stellina Pizza, too. The three of us are food snobs, but those two are bona fide foodies. We’re not fond of very many places in this town , so thanks for hangin’ in to cook really good food, a hop skip from my house 🖤 I only wish you were open right now 🥳.“

“Just placed my first order, have been following the page for a while. Looking forward to trying my food and glad I can support local! Plus they also sell Josh and John's ice cream too so I get to try multiple new things at once. 😊“

“This place has been on my must try list since moving to the area and I’m so glad I got to check it out today. The service was great and the food was amazing. I loved that the deli had so many products like pasta, olives and canned goods while also having gelato. The restaurant side had a lots of good things on the menu plus amazing looking desserts. We tried the prosciutto sandwich and the Italian Hero sandwich and both were spectacular.“

“Had a wonderful dinner here! The food was absolutely amazing and the service staff again absolutely amazing!! Highly recommended!!!“

“I ate here with a group of friends. The pizza I ordered was delicious and made me full. After eating your pizza, I decided to pay for bread sticks. The nice lady told me they were free since I dined in. The only thing y'all could improve on is serving more soda options. Had I realized sprite wasnt an option, I wouldn't have ordered soda to begin with.“

“My husband and I have been coming here for years. Food is always amazing and staff are great. 10/10 would recommend!!“

“My husband and I had a celebration dinner here last night and it was a 10/10. Can’t wait to come back. Excellent service, chic atmosphere, and amazing food.“

“We ate here last night and drove an hour to try it on the advise of friends who used to live in St. Louis. Our server Lilly was a complete joy. Our food was spectacular and we loved everything we ordered including the dessert, a pumpkin bread pudding with brioche bread and toffee syrup that was to die for. We are already planning our return and driving an hour for a dinner so amazing is nothing and you owe it to yourself to try it, you will find yourself also planning when you will return, it's that good!! It was also a pleasure to meet the Owner/Chef Eric. It was awesome to hear his story about how he got here.“

“The olive oil is so fresh and so tasty that I could’ve drank it. The bread is not to be missed once you sit down. It is absolutely fantastic.

In the past, I have not been to excited about vegetables that have been fermented. I was able to dine on two separate dishes that had fermented vegetables in them. One was with my bread the other was with my charcuterie board. I would really recommend that you give these a chance. The fermentation on both of these items were spectacular and really did open my eyes to how good fermented vegetables can be. They’re not what I expected.

I got the charcuterie board, the Bolognese, and an Italian cake with pistachio filling for dessert. The drinks were recommended by Sophia, she was awesome the entire night! Three cheers for her recommendations, but of all the dishes and drinks that I had the Bolognese was the weakest one. It was still fantastic, but the others in that meal really stood out and the Bolognese did not.

I am thinking about coming back and getting the swordfish or perhaps another plate of something interesting, but I’m definitely going to get the olive oil by the gallon. The dessert was recommended again by Sophia and when I took the first bite, I liked it the second bite I really liked it. The third bite. I was in love. It really grew on me and the fresh whipped cream is a really nice touch to the quality and time the chefs take to make this food excellent.

It was very busy, but it was a Saturday night at the hotel. I had to made reservations about six hours ahead of time. Moderate noise level and everyone was having a good time. Excellent wine list as well as drink menu. Highly recommend on all counts Truly deserves five stars.“

“Awesome food. Great!!! 😁🤗“

“We just ate dinner here and LOVED it! We are from out of town and this was our first long awaited stop. The service, the appetizers, the drinks, the main, the deserts. I can’t go on and on enough! So happy to have been able to bring the whole family here for such a wonderful start to our vacation! Thank you!“

“We have enjoyed Cansano since they opened and have loved seeing how they have elevated their menu over time and evolved. Brittany does an amazing job as their GM and always takes great care of us. We have also loved getting to know Rod - who provides amazing service and has recommended new dishes for me to try along with great wine pairings. Cansano is a great place for a holiday dinner party or a perfect date night.“

“We went for happy hour and it was a great deal! The strawberry margarita was good- not too sweet. I got a calzone that was amazing! I could only eat half. My partner got the Nashville Hot and said it was actually really spicy and delicious!

Amy took our order and was so sweet and helpful.

We’ll definitely be back!“

“Absolutely delicious!! Haven’t had a good grinder (hoagie) like this in a very long time! Great portions. Service was fast and both people working were extremely nice and friendly. Highly recommend trying this place!“

“Oh my goodness. This place was a dream. The service was so incredible, the owner is super kind and cares about everyone that comes to her truck. The food is absolutely delicious! My mouth waters thinking about it. The green chili smother burrito was delectable and the portions are definitely the type to fill out up and leave you satisfied for hours! And for the price that is hard to beat especially with such yummy food! This place deserves more attention because damn is it good.“

“Pizza , Italian salad and cheese bread were so delicious! We will be back next time we are in town!“

“Party of 3 last Saturday- we 💜💜💜 Rasta Pasta but that day our server was rude and you guys were simply off your game. June 21 around 12:30. Sad. $75 wasted but we did leave a lousy tip. We felt like a inconvenience to your staff. Bummer!!“

“I tried the JB Burger with candied pepper bacon- it was so delicious, I couldn't stop eating it! The bartender, Josh, was also the server, busser and greeter. he bounced around like he's been doing this for a while. He was great!“

“What great customer service and food. Wyatt went above and beyond, we will definitely be back!“

“Great food, great drinks, great staff, great location…what more could I ask for?!?!?!?!?! Oh, an amazing view to boot. Wish I would’ve found this place sooner!!!!!“

“This is long over due. Went there 1st time about a year ago and I had made a mistake ordering on the website I had placed 2 orders, I ordered and paid at the wrong store for pickup in denver. That being said management went above and beyond to get it corrected and got both families dinners done in a timely manner hot and fresh i was ordering for my family and taking one to another family!!! Since then bc of how great they were and it was my mistake we have gone back many many times and I have to say the atmosphere is awesome for a date the restaurant is always clean and the food tastes great and fresh....def recommend the chicken parm!!! Seriously go Check them out the prices are right and the food is awesome. Outstanding service and management really knows what they are doing! I am out of the army but still get dinners to take to my joes and families old habit and they all agree this place is awesome and close to Carson!“

“New management & it shows. Food was great & the people are friendly 🙌 I frequent the PX often and noticed a big improvement in the display; I decided to give them another chance (I had a not great experience before with the customer service) I was pleasantly surprised this time around & will definitely be back.“
