No complaints all around. Now for the service. Susie was absolutely fantastic. Her Italian accent is perfect even though she is not Italian!!! Delightful, funny with a great attitude. Even though she had several tables, she always found the time to make us feel special. My next reservation will definitely include a request that it be with her as the server.“

They also serve gluten free pasta and sauces. We will be back. Thank you for an enjoyable Tuesday evening.“

“I love my mom and pop shops up north but I have not been able to find a real good Italian one here in Florida, it's so many frozen food franchises:(. That is until I found this place! The food was very tasty and authentic. I had the chicken piccata and my husband had thr lasagna, both were delicious. The serving size was huge as well, I had enough for a big lunch the next day. We also had the mozzarella wedges which were yummy. The bread was pretty good too, dipped in olive oil of course. The atmosphere felt very cozy and reminded me of how traditional restaurants should be! Service was great oo. We'll be going back to try other dishes and apps.“

“Pleasantly surprised to find an Italian restaurant in Florida with REALLY DELICIOUS food! Enrico is from Naples Italy where people are known for cooking with LOVE ❤️ My husband who is also from Naples and a very big food critic loved the spaghetti with clams. We were a party of 4, had 2 apps a bottle of good wine and 4 entrees UNDER $200 !!! Very reasonably priced delicious entrees! Definitely going back ?“

“We are down from Pittsburgh and I have my favorite places back home, but we decided to give Pino’s a try on 4/16/25 … Well the places back home just won’t be the same anymore. The pizza here was fantastic!!! We ordered a Grandma Pie and a cheese pie. Perfectly crispy crust, amazing cheese flavor, fresh veggies and some of the best sauce I’ve had. I highly recommend this place and I will sadly have to wait till next year to try it again.“

“If I could give this place more stars, I absolutely would. My family and I decided to eat at Nino‘s last night for my husband‘s birthday 9/11. The place is so welcoming our waiter Pauly was absolutely amazing.

We plan to eat here often keep up the good work.“

“Badabing Pizza Co is truly a hidden gem! The restaurant has such a cozy, welcoming vibe the moment you walk in. The owners are not only incredibly kind and down-to-earth, but you can tell they pour their heart into everything they do. And the food? BEYOND delicious!!! You can literally taste the freshness in every bite. Everything is homemade, made from scratch with their own special recipes—and it shows!!! The portions are generous, and the prices are more than fair for the quality and care that goes into each dish. If you haven’t been yet, do yourself a favor and go. You won’t be disappointed!!!!“
