“Place is better then your regular Primos! They really seem to all Care and seem like they put heart into each hoagie!“

“Our server, Katiey was pleasant and took care of all of our needs. We had the rigatoni abruzzi and it was excellent along with the delicious bread. Even had enough to take home for next day. Highly recommend!“

“Scalessa's gave me 2 great things. The first was the happy flashback of eating at Priori's at home. The secons was that Scalessa's food was out of this world. I had the Four Cheese Gnocchi which bards would write poems about. I cannot say enough about the awesomeness of this fine establishment! I will definitely come back when I visit my sister again.👍“

“I used Johnny Paisano’s to cater a holiday party. I had an amazing experience from the very beginning. I spoke with Christine who helped me place the order, and helped me to decide the best options for my menu. One of my options was a prime rib, where I received a phone call from Johnny himself to help me figure out the best way to prepare it for the party. When it was time to retrieve the food on the day of the party, everyone I dealt with was friendly and helpful. Johnny once again came out and was talking with me about the food. I appreciate this aspect of a business, it makes you feel like you’re in a friendly environment, rather than a sterile kitchen. The food quality was amazing. Every platter was delicious, and every guest was happy with how the food turned out. The prime rib was the largest hit, not surprisingly. I couldn’t believe the value of everything as well. Please use Johnny Paisano’s for your next event, they will not disappoint at all, and will go above and beyond to make sure all your needs are met!“

“Our 1st time there. always heard good things about DiPaolo's. It was all true. Great atmosphere the food was delicious and the staff were very nice and helpful. The prices are a bit high. Be prepared to spend a bit. Average dinner was $39. Appetizers about $20 - $35. However their specials were priced very good. Four of us with drinks, appetizers & Tip was $400.00. It was worth the trip for us. I totally recommend.“

“On our way back from doing a last-minute Estimate We had the absolute privilege of being broken down in front of their restaurant! The owner and staff both asked if we needed anything and offered beverages! Very very welcoming establishment, staff, owner! So amazing to be treated so nicely even though we were an inconvenience to parking! Thank you again for your kindness! Mike, Raniyah!“

“Great experience, excellent food, and the staff were very friendly. The owner also spent a few minutes speaking to us. A really nice guy. Awesome all the way around!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Everything about this place is perfect, esp. the food, we got the short rib, if it's on the menu I always order it, this has to be one of the best I've had. It was an Asian style, with chopped bok Choy, the meat fell apart, so tender. The asparagus and little gem salad was shared, and also perfect, I give them 10 for food. Service was impeccable as well. I wouldn't hesitate to go back!“

“10/10 do recommend. Excellent pup cup served. Filled to the top and swirled with love. Non dairy so belly doesn’t get upset. Mom loves their coffee and generally picks up some baked goods as well. I can generally convince her to share. My favorite is the lemon cake.“

“Best gnocchi in a rosa sauce! Easy online ordering and super friendly staff.“

“Went in last night for the first time with the new chef. Amazing! Menu us updated, and food is maybe even better. Same excellent service and welcoming environment. Glad one of our favorites is better than ever.“

“The owners are really nice and serve all of the food themselves.

The bread is great and the sauce was really flavorful. The arrancini balls were good.

The pasta was a bit dense and the gnocchi had a slightly weird taste to it.

The carpet makes the restaurant feel very mildewey and has a smell to it.“

“I just made a pizza in my kitchen oven using a Toscana Pizza Kit. Simply perfect! This is the first time that I have been able to create a round pizza with out a rolling pin. The sauce and cheese supplied with the kit are more than is needed. I think I will be doing this every Friday! RGDS, Kevin Koob Springfield, PA“

“Update: We have lived here nearly a year and this is still our go-to place. My oldest daughter is now vegan and they custom make her vegan breadsticks. Love these guys! We order from here usually once per week. Their plain pizza is classic. I think they put cinnamon in their crust—there is something special. It’s the only pizza that all of my kids like. Win! Oh, and the guy that answers the phone and does the register is always so nice! Highly recommend!“

“My husband and i enjoy eating at this fine Italian restaurant together, with family and friends. The restaurant is clean, bright and the staff at this family owned business is very friendly and professional. The menu includes seafood, chicken. Pasta, veal and steak. The appetizers, salads and home made soups are impressive as are the daily specials. My husband has celiac disease and they are very accommodating. The pricing is in line with similar establishments and it is a BYOB witn NO corking fée. We simply love it !!!❤️“

“If the Concord Mall is a dying husk of what it once was, Café Riviera is an oasis in the desert. We've been stopping in this little hidden gem for more than 20 years, but hadn't visited in a long while. Tonight we made a special trip, and were greatly relieved to find not only are they still open, but the food is still top notch. We were seated right away by friendly staff. Server was attentive and obliging. Our food took quite a while, but it was obviously made to order and totally worth the wait. There's not much our family of four can agree on, but we all came away happy. Amazing pizza, beautiful calzone, delicious garlic knots. Serving sizes were more than we could eat, plenty of leftovers to bring home. In a fast-changing world, it's nice to find some things exactly the way you remember them.“

“Best time to come is early morning or in afternoon. Not very busy then. Great food Also like 2 minutes to 95.“

“I enjoyed the food. Ordered a hoagie and Stromboli. Both were excellent. My son and I loved the sauce as it wasn’t sweet.“

“Isaiah provided an amazing experience at Wonder. From the moment we arrived, he was attentive, friendly, and made us feel genuinely welcomed. He had great knowledge of the menu and gave thoughtful recommendations that turned out to be perfect. His energy was calm yet engaging.“

“We visited last night. We were greeted right away. The service was so good. I had Shells Aurora. Simply amazing. Pasta and chicken was cooked perfectly. My boyfriend didn't see chicken marsala on the menu. only chicken parmesan.He asked and they made him the chicken marsala. So good too. We ordered wine. I had the Cabernet and he had the Pino Noir .Both wines were rich and savory. Very tasty. The floor manager even came up to make sure we were happy. That was very nice. we received the check and the server boxed up our food for us. The check really was not expensive. I paid and gave a 25% tip. I normally don't care either way with itailian resteraunts but this place was so nice. Rustic and warm atmosphere, pleasant staff, and amazing food. Will visit again for sure.“

“Please please bring back the burrata and soprasetta appetizer!! It was the best and so many patrons miss it!!“

“have been going here for twenty years never had a bad sandwich or a bad interaction with anyone working for them. I have been home bound and on oxygen for three years now and the kindness the staff has shown when I call to order or the regular two drivers who always take the time to make sure I get my delivery knowing it takes me few minutes to make it to the door is nothing short of amazing. I had a concern today with my delivery and they as usual said will be handled. thanks for always putting your customers first thanks Merle McClintock“

“I love everything I ordered. I highly recommend Cafe Sitaly. Even when I have to wait, it's worth my time. It's Delicious 😋🤤“
