“I dined at the Pike Creek location. The staff is friendly and accommodating. Im confident that if you dine there twice, you're a regular.

While the menu may appear to be limited, they all the homestyle favorites. There are vegetarian options. My favorite appetizer is on the menu, Fried Burssel Sprouts.

The portions are family style. Don't expect to finish what you order.

I have a bias here. They aren't far from my home. That's waht makes this a welcome addition to the restaurant scene in Pike Creek.“

So amazing to be treated so nicely even though we were an inconvenience to parking! Thank you again for your kindness! Mike, Raniyah!“

“I seriously love this place! The food, service, and vibes are always spot-on. Last week I came with a friend for the buffet and had such a good time that I’m going back tomorrow with someone else. The portions are huge, the prices are super reasonable, and everything tastes fresh and delicious. We sat outside this time and caught a live band — they were really good and made the whole experience even better. Honestly, it’s one of those spots where you can treat yourself without any guilt. Great food, fun vibes, and friendly staff make it a total winner. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a casual, delicious meal with a lively atmosphere.“

“Order anything with the garlic bread and amp up your gastronomic experience to epic proportions. Lauren has that way of scanning the bar/restaurant for a refill, making sure everything is cool, or the check. It’s not loud so you can converse with friends-and new friends! Community vibe. Oh, and did I mention the garlic bread?“

“We had a great time at this establishment. The only problem was that we did not get out appetizers. They gave us 2 complimentary dishes though so it fine. Our waitress was never actually there and we always had to ask someone else to order. The tiramisu was a bunch of cream, a little bread, and straight coffee. The pizza was great 😊“

“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.“

“We love this restaurant. We are never disappointed and always leave wanting to come right back. The bronzino was perfectly pancakes, crisp and flaky inside, squid ink pasta with shrimp was sublime, tuna tartare melted in our mouths and the deserts were stellar! Loved the “diamond” cocktail with the sugar disc- service is always exemplary. We can't wait for our next meal here!!!!“

“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.“

“Five of us had lunch at Cafe Verdi today. I only wish we had discovered it sooner! Between us we had four different pasta dishes and 1 salmon burger. Everything was excellent- fresh, nicely presented, and delicious! The family restaurant feel, the lovely music, and the people on staff made for a most enjoyable and memorable afternoon! We will definitely return- thank you, Sylvio!“

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

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

“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!“

“Food was absolutely delicious ? & Rosemary our waitress very nice and helpful. My honey took me here for a date. We love to experience new spots and I love byob“

“We have loved enjoying the delicious food at Cafe Valentina. We have been coming here for more 15 years. We feel like we are dining at one of the finest restaurants in Italy. We were missing Fortuna and Giuseppe for the past six months but finally tonight we had the pleasure to see them at the restaurant. Everyone should come here and enjoy their delicious food. It is real Italian food and they have good prices.“

“My Husband and I just got the Bianca pizza. Everything else there doesn't taste good(reg pizza, fries) This location was our first date over 27 years ago. We will never stop coming here. As with all food places, prices are way too high.“

“I really enjoyed the grilled chicken salad because it had a lot of veggies and wasn't just lettuce. I also really enjoy getting the penne with meatballs in blush sauce because the dish is so full of flavor.“

“Always a great time. Food is fresh and delicious every time !!“
