We went and it was closed at 6pm on a Thursday night. No sign or message. If they are so slow that they can close that early the food is probably not worth it.

Best pizza I've ever had! We were looking for pizza when we saw the sign for $3.00 beer all day. I'm so glad we stopped in. This was the best pizza I've ever had! The Chef, Ishmael provided excellent customer service including freshly made bread sticks. The pizza is made from freshly made crust. We ordered specialty pizzas including a Buffalo chicken pizza. It was soooo good!! I highly recommend this dining experience!

This place was Great! Didn't plan on coming here, but popped in when we parked in front of the shop. Drink prices are crazy good, and the food is amazing! Please check these guys out. Ishmael is at your service, and he is killing it!

Food was amazing!!! This is probably the best Italian food we have had since visiting Little Itally. The owner personally waited on us and made sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend!

Pizza at the next table looked really good. Perhaps this is what they specialize in. Our food was meh... though friendly service. The only thing I really enjoyed was their sauce. It would have been nice if they served authentic Italian crusty bread, but they served "churro-style" breadsticks which lacked flavor and were hard. I ordered the chopped salad and what I received was different than what was on the menu, including items such as mozzarella cheese(not on menu description) and also excluding the menu items like salami and olives. The lettuce was a bit soggy and was very average tasting. We also ordered the linguine with meatballs and red sauce. It was ok... having the pool table there is fun. There were only three other people in the whole place during lunch hour. They need to kick it up a notch. Several things that we tried to order "weren't available" like octopus, and we had to keep changing our order. Bathroom needs some tending to.

Took a shot on this little corner restaurant. Awesome service from the second we walked in the door. Shot a little pool in between courses. Ishmael was awesome. Starting a soft with garlic breadsticks and some sauce was perfect little complementary basket. We then had two homemade meatballs and a delicious red sauce with two scoops of ricotta melted mozzarella over top. Then we had a buffalo chicken pizza that was spot on. Perfect crisp to the pizza. Came out well done like I like it. At the end we had an perfect slice of tiramisu. Really tight and amazing. My wife had the cheesecake OMG. Definitely will be back.

Ordered takeout. Hands down top 3 worst food ever eaten. Chicken parm burnt and not properly breaded. Linguine and clam saucedry with 3 tiny shelled clams and a sprinkle of cheese on top. Ordered calamari. Since they didn't have any they switched it for fried shrimp something I never would order. Nonetheless it was overbreaded and overcooked and frankly inedible just like everything else. Eat at your own risk!!!

The food was absolutely ATROCIOUS!!! Ordered chicken parm. Wasn't breaded properly horrible dish. Also ordered Linguine with clam sauce. Comes as a pile of linguine with 3 tiny clams in the shell and some cheese placed on top. Completely inedible! Finally ordered fried calamari but since they had none they figured I would like fried shrimp. That too was gross. An abundance of breading and overcooked shrimp. Wouldn't order this food again if it was free!

Fantastic pizza! The owners were so kind and the prices very good. Big portion sizes as well. The staff are very friendly, and the sauce is amazing!

DO NOT EAT OR GIVE THIS ESTABLISHMENT ANY OF YOUR MONEY! Tonight my siblings and I were walking home (5 minute walk), noticed someone was following us, asked for help and to take sanctuary in the restaurant for safety so we could call the police for help/escort. Instead of waiting with us and helping us, they kicked us out of the restaurant after we TOLD them what was going on and we needed help. They were too busy worried about their liquor license being taken away or having problems with cops. The ethics and audacity to deny (my siblings are I and in our 20's (two girls and one boy) help because of selfish reasons is ridiculous and their ethics alone are enough to make you want NEVER give them your money. THEY WOULDN'T HELP YOUNG ADULTS WHO NEEDED HELP! THE OWNER HIMSELF KICKED US OUT INTO THE STREET KNOWING WE WERE IN DANGER! DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY!

After searching for a late night dinner spot for over an hour we came across Valenti's. We arrived 15 minutes before closing and they were happy to seat us. I ordered the chicken parmesan and it was delicious!! The service was great and we were not rushed.

If I could give this place a 0 I would. Service and food were awful. Not sure how this place is even open.

Horrible service!! If I could rate as a negative star I would . The food was awful. The worst restaurant I've ever been to. The pizza was 100% frozen , they had no drink menu and any drink I asked for they said they were out of the ingredient, the chicken was gummy, the calamari was stringy and looked like onion rings , the pasta sauce was watery , the " cheese ravioli" was actually stuffed shells , which was gross , how don't you know the difference from ravioli and stuffed shells. Anyone who is writing a good review for this place I would have to question their taste.

If there was a negative star option , I would have given 10 negative stars , This was the worst restaurant i've ever been to. As soon as we got there we had a feeling it was going to be bad , but we decided to give it a try. We sat outside and in the table behind us the chef was smoking a cigarette and trying to convince us to order the most expensive item on the menu. The waitress was strange and when I asked for a drink menu she said they don't have any then asked what I wanted. She told me they can't make mojitos or margaritas. The calamari was horrendous , it was stringy and served with limes and lemons and cabbage, the weirdest combo. They brought out one of our pizzas 20 minutes before the rest of our food , the pizza was clearly frozen and heated up, I asked for cheese ravioli and she brought me out stuffed shells, the shells were so hard you couldn't even cut it with a fork. Chicken parm was gross watery sauce and chicken was gummy, when someone came to the table they clearly saw no one ate any of the food and they never even asked was there something wrong , when we went to pay the worker even said that he doesn't eat the food from there. I can not believe this place is not shut down, I can't believe there is any good reviews.

We had eaten here before and we had nothing but praise for your place.We tried to eat there Sunday at lunch but you weren’t open your posted hours. No note on door. NothingWe went back tonight.We told the waitress we had a local flavor coupon. The chef said you aren’t taking any longer.You were out of a lot of things. I ordered the chopped Greek salad. It had no beans. No cucumbers. Not chopped.I ordered one slice of cheese pizza. The crust tasted frozen with no taste.My husband liked his Caesar saladMy husbands fountain drink was watery.We should have paid for our drinks and left when we found out you didn’t take the coupon because everything went downhill from there.You just need to know unless things change we won’t be backThe waitress was great.
