“The food was amazing, great price, came out super fast, HUGE portions, taste amazing, and our server was so damn sweet. The perfect little dinner-like spot to stop in and get your grub on. They have a pretty large menu too so there’s a little bit of everything for everyone.“
“My husband I go every so often and I sometimes get lunch take-out. Inside is nice and clean, but unless you get a booth tables are close together or in an awkward spot. Bar area is nice plenty room to sit and eat. I love the Philly deluxe, and I usually get chicken. Chicago style hot dogs are so tasty. The majority of our servers have always been friendly and efficient. I do wish they would publish lunch specials online instead of just table tents when you dine in because I would probably order from them more for lunch. Deep dish is pretty good as well.Parking: located in a plaza“
“I was EXTREMELY pleased with this Hungry Howie's!The restaurant was clean, service was excellent, and the food was fresh.The employees were all doing their part to make sure each guest was taken care of, and they were doing it with a smile on their faces.The crew at this establishment could really teach other business how to do it right. My guess is that the owner of this place recognizes he has an amazing team, and he rewards them accordingly. I say that because I have never seen so many employees smiling and taking care of business.Thank you for a WONDERFUL experience.“
“I met some college friends for dinner and would highly recommend Fusillys. Every bite was perfect, from the salad to the appetizer to the entrees. The service was fast and friendly. Veronica took very good care and invited us to hang and chat after dinner. Wonderful atmosphere and amazing food!“
“Our second dinner to Tiramasu was beyond expectations. Best Italian in Bradenton and offers the ala Parmigiana Cheese wheel pasta (pictured) prepared at your table. . Service was top-notch. Cozy setting where you can actually hear your table conversation. Veal Valdestano (pictured) was tender, flavorful, and delicious the next day. Wine pours are generous. Highly recommend!!!“
“Have been here multiple times and every time gets better and better!! So happy Speaks has GF options for me as well, and GF options that are DELICIOUS. This time I got a GF Baked Penne dish, the cheese pull and the flavor was out of this world! Our niece ordered the Smoked Fish Dip (I’m not sure if this is GF but I still tried it because they were raving about it, and it was immaculate). They were super busy this visit (Sunday night @ 7pm) we were able to get seated within 15/20 min. Even though you could tell our waiter was extremely busy, he was still very attentive, calm and quick. Also he brought out my nieces cake for her birthday and even sang with us. 10/10 always recommend SPEAKS! (:“
“I walked in on a busy Wednesday evening at 7:30 without a reservation and the owner took care of seating and sat 7 of us within 10 minutes. They were friendly and accommodating. For that reason alone, I will frequent this beautiful restaurant. It was clean, inviting and the staff was efficient. Food was good too. I recommend this restaurant.“
“This has been one of the best pizza spots. We have found since moving to tampa! Everything about this pizza was right! The cheese the crust the cook the sauce everything was delicious. Angel took great care of us and when we were in town next, for more baseball, this will be our go to spot.“
“Adolfo’s has some of the best pizza. The crust is pleasantly crisp with a nice chew, the sauce is full bodied and flavorful without being too sweet, and the quality of their cheese gets perfectly browned without excess oil covering the pie. This place keeps me coming back week after week!“
“I recently visited Eleni's Pizza Works and I must say, I was thoroughly impressed with my dining experience. I ordered the classic gyro platter with a Caesar salad on the side. What I really appreciated was the fact that I could choose any salad of my choice to go with my platter, which gave me the freedom to customize my meal to my liking. The gyro platter itself was fantastic - the meat was juicy and perfectly seasoned, and the pita bread was fresh and warm. The Caesar salad was also delicious, with a tangy dressing and plenty of crunchy croutons. Aside from the food, I also really enjoyed the atmosphere of the restaurant. The décor was modern and sleek, with plenty of natural light and comfortable seating. The staff were friendly and attentive, making me feel welcome from the moment I walked in. Overall, I would highly recommend Eleni's Pizza Works to anyone looking for delicious food and a great dining experience. Whether you're in the mood for pizza, pasta, or something a little more adventurous like the gyro platter, you won't be disappointed. And with such a pleasant atmosphere, it's the perfect spot for a casual meal with friends or a romantic night out.“
“Found through Google. It is everything I expected and more... The food (no condiments needed), the music and the vibe was amazing. My complements to the chef... Thank you for what you do... My Dad and I really enjoyed our lunch experience. Will definitely be back.Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp straight to the front door.“
“We were in town for a professional youth soccer tournament. The week was chaotic but Carrabba’s helped us with all of our catering needs. Carletta and Gabby were amazing and easy to work with. Both were super helpful and accommodating. All the boys loved the food and the fresh baked cookies. Overall a fantastic experience and super reliable!“
“What a gem of a place! Delicious creative Sicilian menu, not your standard spaghetti-and-meatballs fare. We had a cheesy roasted onion, timbale, beef ribs, nice bottle of wine recommended by our server, and chocolate pate and semi-fredo cannoli. All fantastic! Chef has seen Big Night "thousands of times" and his use of ingredients and care mimics that chef. Lovely evening we will long remember! Grazie!“
“We ordered take out on our way back home from the beach and we were not disappointed ! We had the new york style pepperoni pizza and it was amazing . Best pizza I've had in a long time. We would without a doubt order again if we are ever back in the area.“
“Cute little mom and pop pizza joint. Quaint atmosphere. Our server was so lovely and Food came out right away.We had the garlic knots with mozzarella on the side and thise knots were on point! So delicious!We also ordered the giant meatballs and they were 'ok', the marinara sauce though was very good and tasted fresh!We also got a medium half cheese and half pepperoni. The crust was amazing! My kiddos ate it up!My husband and I and a friend of ours ordered a hawaiian Sicilian pizza. Personally, I was expecting a thicker crust and it's not what we got and it wasn't cooked all the way through, so very doughy. However, my husband and friend enjoyed it, I didn't.I did ask the manager/owner about it and that is how they usually make it, they basically stack 2 crusts together, add toppings, and then cook it. So if you're ok with doughy pizza then according to my husband, it very yummy. While I enjoyed the kiddos pizza more.Owner/manager was fantastic though! He did offer to make another one and cook it more. He was very professional and friendly.So we will definitely go back! I'd love to try some of their other dishes.“
“We love this restaurant! It’s always great food. We had dinner there last night and shared the meatball app. Unfortunately they no longer serve the meatballs with garlic bread.They serve it with toast which was a huge disappointment. Actually they don’t offer garlic bread at all which really shocked us.I’m just hoping they return to the garlic bread because it was a winner! Ans“
“They Have a wonderful gluten free appetizer selection! Really most of their gf food is just awesome!! Was there a cpl weeks ago & brought it home, & it was the best food we have had from there in like forever! I just love this place! Been going here since 2007 I want to say.“
“Good pizza, I’m from outside of Philadelphia and moved to Florida this past September. All pizza I have tried has sucked, this pizza was good, had a slice of pepperoni. I would definitely try more food from here. It’s a nice clean little place too.“
“I'm from Ohio. My uncle, when he lived in Florida, loved this restaurant. He would take me there. Even though he has passed when I'm in Florida, I stop in for memories and the best tasting Ruben Sandwich that I've ever tasted. Service is always great also.“
“My cousin and I went out for lunch this afternoon after working all day. She'd been going here since she was a kid and introduced Fav's to me today. We both kept it simple - I got the Bruschetta Appetizer, and Sauteed Ravioli (which were to die for), enough that I ordered a take out portion for later. Out of all of the places I have been in my life, the quality, taste and freshness surpasses many other "Italia" restaurants, knocks it right out of the park. My cousin got a Caesar salad and a pepperoni pizza (ate two slices but took it home with us to share with the others, lol) The staff is really nice, atmosphere is clean and looks great all around, and food, again, was amazing. I will definitely be back“
“I have lunch at the University Park location every week for my networking group meeting. Andie has been our server and I cannot say enough great things about her. She has a great memory and has our drink orders set up before we are even seated. She reminds us to include our membership information so we get credit for our meals, remembers our meals (and if we make a mistake in our orders, reminds us what we really want). She is terrific and makes our weekly visits so much better. ask to be placed in Andie's section!“
“I would definitely get pizza from here again. We had the garlic knots, meatlovers pizza, and BBQ pizza. My family raved about the crust. The pizza is definitely hearty and filling. Service was quick even with how busy they were. The atmosphere is your classic italian pizza place. There were also some tables outside, so we decided to sit outside since it was nice out. This is a place you go to for the food and service - so staying there isn't a must. I would probably pick-up and go next time we order from here.“
“Finallly!!! We have an authentic NY style Italian deli, pizzeria, and restaurant in Bradenton!! If I was dropped in blindfolded I’d swear I was on Mulberry St in NYC. They have the best pecorino in their deli and their pizza is absolutely amazing!! If you’re a transplant like me? You’ll feel like you’re back home… ♥️“
“Stumbled into this place heading thru Bradenton. Huge pizza bar with a tasty salad bar. Plenty of indoor seating to accommodate a single person or large groups. Pizza was very good and endless selections including very good dessert pizzad and different cheese breads. I also learned from a staff member that if there is a pizza that you like but dont see, you can request and they will make it for you. The food and service were stellar. If your hungry for pizza stop in here.“
“Wonderful weight staff. Saturday night busy - they made us feel like we were the only people here. They altered my pasta how I wanted - Jaynie did it with a smile and zero question. Max makes the best drinks. I am a foodie. This place is amazing. The service all 3 times has been amazing!“

“I had the pleasure of meeting Chris and Javier at a gas station. When I saw there shirts that said Veronas, I asked a few questions and they informed me they worked there and raved about the food. Sure enough they were right. I took a ride to try it for the first time this evening. I ordered the mussels in red sauce appetizer, eggplant Parmesan, and a margarita pizza. The food was absolutely wonderful. The service is outstanding from Grace the waitress, Chris and Javier in the back and John the owner. I will be back over and over. The food is great, the service is outstanding, and they made me feel at home. Thank you guys great job.“
“This is one of our new favorite places on Anna Maria island. The inside is intimate and comfortable. The food is outstanding and the service excellence. Russ was our most recent server. He was attentive and helpful with any questions we had. We will be leaving this week (after a winter stay) back to Ohio. We have reservations to visit Isola Bella one last time this season. We look forward to returing next year.“
“Came to try after refered by friends Saturday nite our server wasn't very friendly however the other server near us went over and above laughing joking with her tables offering great suggestions spoke very highly about the owners and you could tell she enjoyed her job she packed folks leftovers instead of just giving the containers which is a great thing all high end restaurant's do so we were impressed with her she definitely brought a great feel to the place and she made us most definitely want to return along with the amazing quality home made fresh from scratch food and her personality it's a sure win win hands down excellent dinner date and we will most definitely be back we even asked her when she works so we can come for her next time being just as busy as her CO worker was yet finding time to engage as she did was a great thing she kept drinks refill tables pre bussed and just did a fabulous job most definitely will see you again to try her recommendations great job folks keep up the great job.“
“Went in today to enjoy one of their lunch specials, but was told all they have for specials now are 2 pieces of pizza and a drink or a 1/2 of a sub with French fries. No more 1/2 sub /w soup or any of the other great lunch specials I have enjoyed. I love the food but do not want French fries with my Italian food.“
“The only place I get pizza from amazing family never had anything meatballs on my pizza sandwiches chicken parm everything's outstandingKid-friendliness: Little family restaurant owned and operated once you go a couple times you become part of it they start to get to know you on the first name basis“
“We love ordering from Hungry Howies and order from there about once a week. The staff is always friendly and prompt and food is excellent. Just one slight problem tonight, we ordered a Italian sub and chef salad with Italian dressing, well today we did not get the dressing with our salad. Good thing we have dressing at home, so it’s not really a big deal. I just really enjoy their Italian dressing. We always enjoy their food and will continue to!!!“
“All I can say is WOW!! The young man that delivered our meals is the kind of guy I hope my son is in public! The lasagna was outstanding! Our whole meal was fantastic. Easy online ordering and fast delivery! Have ordered many pizzas since moving here in November. The lasagna was delicious! If you are looking at reviews before you order, just do it and thank me later!!!“
“Always a solid Chicago eatery! Pizzas and calzones are great. Get a true Chicago dog or 2. The Italian beef sandwich hits hard. Get it wet with hot peppers! If you're really hungry, get "Da Chief". They bury an Italian sausage with Italian beef on a bunch, so good! Some of the best chicken wings in town.“
“First time at this restaurant, because the locals were saying it was really good. It was not only good it was wonderful! Everything was served and at a perfect relaxed pace by our waiter Alan. From the crusty Italian bread with marinara dipping sauce …whetting our appetites with a Tomato Al Caprese..through the family-style salad and …into the main entrees of Chicken Marsala and Veal Cannelloni, and topped off with a Limoncello cake and Cannolis, everything was mouthwatering and delicious! Each item was enhanced by a robust bottle of Pino Noir❤️ We will definitely be back as there’s so many more items on the menu that we want to try!“
“Nobody should work for these people.. They are abusive to their employees. they steal their pay and they make people work off the clock and overtime without proper pay. When I made a big deal of it. I got paid on a Wed and gave these brothers all the Is opportunities to come talk to me and straighten it out. I was told on Wed it would be taken care of. It was not. Than told I had their WORD (not that that ment much) that someone would come in on Sat to fix everything. Not even a message sent to the store that they were not coming. I stayed with Johnny from LWR store till 1035 and nothing. Than on Sunday had the NERVES to call me to fill in for a CALL OUT. I went in to work that day. Also Sal don't make me post your text to me that Monday. U know yall are wrong that's why your acting like this. If yall just took better care of the people that work for yall. Man we do the HARD work daily that makes yall all that money. #dosntpayemployees #pizza #wagetheft #serviceindustry #abusiveboss #srqfoodie #Sarasotaprofessionals #lwr #lakewoodranchprofessionals #lakewoodranchsportscomplex #Bradentonpizza #USDepartmentofLabor #manateecounty #sarasotafood #labordayweekend #RETIREDCOMBATVET #usarmyveteran #Waitressabuse #Fixedincome #FoodService“
“Quite a nice surprise, we stopped in for dinner and most everything surpassed our expectations. It's not the most impressive dining room, but that's the only negative I can give. First the drinks came and they were enormous from the mixed drinks to the wine pours, delicious as well! Next we ordered a variety from seafood, pork chops, and Chicken Parm... each one was enough for four meals and they were as good or better than any Italian restaurants I've been to in the area. Seafood was extremely fresh and after eating to capacity, it still went home in a FULL half sheet pan!! Pork chop was equally gigantic and both tender and juicy with great flavor. the chicken parm was two large (as big as the plate) cutlets that were perfectly cooked and served with just the right amount of sauce and cheese. We were never rushed and enjoyed everything. This will definitely be a favorite for when we have a big appetite and the urge for some NJ/NY style Italian feast. The price was more than reasonable, considering the number of meals we will eventually get from the dinner! Give it a try...“
“Do you want good Italian food? No, wait, do you want great Italian food?? Then you absolutely have to eat here!! Had the Veal Parm yesterday and it’s the best I have ever had and I’ve tried many places. Nice light breading, sweet sauce and a ton of cheese. Try it once and you won’t be disappointed.“
“Scarpinos was recommended to us by the motel we're staying at. The food and service was fantastic. Dave was our server, and was extremely knowledgeable of the menu and history of this family owned restaurant. From start to finish he was very attentive. Being a restaurant owner myself, I can spot an asset, and he surely is one. The quality and portions were perfect. If we lived in the area, we'd be regulars. Kudos, job well done!“
“Among the best Italian-American food I've had, on par with recipes out of the Two Meatballs cookbook. Just fantastic flavor on everything and you know it's made with love when there's at least two different red sauces for the different entrees. Not to mention the vodka penne sauce was mind-blowing!And Vinny is great - as soon as we mentioned that we accidentally ordered hot food instead of buying from the cook-at-home case, he started bustling about to adjust our order so that we could have the freshest dinner possible! Then threw in an extra loaf of bread! Also the ambience was spot on with an accordion player doing the godfather theme. Can't recommend this place enough!Vegetarian options: It's Italian: just don't order an entree with meat, there are plenty of options. Vegan...not so much.“
“Olive Garden Italian Restaurant offers a cozy and inviting atmosphere with a menu full of classic Italian dishes. From their famous unlimited breadsticks and salad to hearty pasta dishes and flavorful entrees, every bite is a taste of Italy. With friendly service and a warm ambiance, Olive Garden is the perfect spot for a casual meal with family or a romantic dinner for two. Whether you're craving comfort food or exploring new flavors, Olive Garden promises a memorable dining experience that keeps customers coming back for more.“
“Food was good. Meatballs were overdone. Salads and desserts were wonderful. Ravioli and veal dishes were very good. Service was slow bcuz they were short staffed in the kitchen that night and take out. pizza orders were overwhelmingons. Ambiance on the patio made up for all of the shortcomings. No dinner substitutions and no liquor. Only wine and beer“
“Wonderful Sunday night dinner. We shared a delicious Caprese Salad to start and had two outstanding pasta dishes for our main course: The Orecchiette and the Rigatoni Ala Vodka with Sausage and Eggplant, both were fantastic! Great service from our waiter and his assistant. He was from Chicago, I'm sorry I did not get his name. His sense of humor added to the great experience.“
“Always smells delicious and the staff is always pleasant when I have to pick up an order. While my wife was tanning next door, I was in the parking lot and watched this big older lady practically inhale a medium pizza. It was fascinating. Literally, for 7 minutes straight, her jaws did not stop chomping and her hands were assembly lining pizza into her mouth. I have no idea if she was even swallowing or if her mouth was a portal to another dimension. It was an absolutely remarkable sight and I am so glad I had my sunglasses and tinted windows so I could observe this publically. I wanted to take a video of the ordeal but people would think it's a fake video.Anyways... I think this accounting of events speaks more about the pizza than it does about this lady... So go get some Jet's Pizza, it must be at least above average to many people or they sprinkle an addictive chemical in their ingredients, order now and let me know what you think.“
“Our appetizer, entre and dessert were bursting with flavor. The sauces ... Mmm Never fast food. The food has always been delicious, Any day of the week. Please remember this will be a dining experience that lasts hours. So if you have the time go enjoy every bite.“
“Can you say R I D I C U L O U S!!!!???? AMAZING. Shrimp and Scallop Risotto…off the (bleepin) Hook!!!! ??? From start to finish, absolutely phenomenal! Highly recommend it…awesome food, awesome staff, AND we purchased a discount card from students from Manatee School of the Arts for $10 outside of Publix…..saved us $5 at 60 East…has many other discounts to restaurants, etc., in the area…good til November! Can use repeatedly until Nov….now, back to my point..when, not IF you want to enjoy a great meal and great service, ask for Maddy…she is AMAZING!!!“
“I must tell you that this is not a fancy place where you want to take you family a night put. However, the pizza I ordered was delicious and the beer I drink was so awesome. Try it if you want a casual dinner or lunch where you want a very freshly cooked pizza. You won't regret it. Even though the witness wasn't particularly friendly, I was so very happy to leave a good tip due to the taste of the pizza I ordered and the reasonable price of the beer I ordered. This place made my day trip to Sarasota from Orlando memorable.. cheers!!“
“This is your classic Italian Pizza Parlour! You are going to love the local flavour from Long Island New York. Restaurateur Stepan comes from a business background at Hofstra. He knows business and he knows pizza.The slices are to die for, the garlic knots are incredible and they come and bring the slices to you! If you are stressed, they will invite you to take a seat. They will not rush you out.This place is super busy with deliveries and DoorDashes. Do not blame the restaurant if your Dasher or UberEats driver is slow, that is beyond their control. Keep things local and come inside and they will pop you up a pizza post haste!Give this place a chance and you will keep coming back, I know I did. I have been coming here since 2022, and I will continue to do so.“
“Our table of 8 had a wonderful dinner. The food was fresh, cooked to perfection and delivered on time. Both the warm toasty crusty bread and salads were crisp and plentiful. Additional servings of the delicious bread were brought to the table without delay. The spaghetti with pistachio pesto shrimp sauce was perfectly al dente and light. The veal parm was the best my wife had in a very long time. The gnocchi in a red sauce, one of the specials of the night, was perfectly cooked and delicious. A large portion of pappardella with bolognese sauce was excellent and worth bringing home . The wait staff was friendly, and attentive without being obtrusive. This was a great find for us, one of only a few that accepted reservations and is definitely worth a trip back.Jim S“
