“My sister and I both ordered the grilled salmon. She asked for her to be cooked through; I asked for mine to be prepred per chef's recommendation. Both of our dishes were prepared to our specifications. Mine was seared on the outside and tender moist on the inside. To add to that perfection, the sunchoke purée had an amazing mélange of flavors. I finished my meal with the Scorza Dolce--also packed with flavor.I have now had three meals that were so exquisitely flavorful that they will stick in my mind forever (previous two are from 1981 and 2005). My salmon at Mino's is now my #1 all-time favorite meals!“

“last evening my husband and I joined four friends for an early dinner at Coppolillo's Italian Steakhouse. It turned out to be so much more then just dinner, to quote one of our dinner companions, Brian Romer, "We have enjoyed fine dining for many years but last night was a Kodak memory experience. Finally, we have a grrrreat restaurant close to home." From the moment we approached the front entrance, we were greeted by a nicely uniformed young man who welcomed us as he opened the door, then we were escorted to our table where we were introduced to the concept of a service team. service being the key word. As those attending to our needs moved in and out, sometimes barely noticed, but extra warm bread or more olive oil would suddenly appear on the table, water glass refilled by slight of hand. "Would we like a drink before dinner?" I was undecided on the choice of wine, he helped pair perfectly with what I was going to have for dinner. The dinner, I can only speak of the chicken Vesuvio. Seriously, and I had to share this with Steve while we were there, pretty much perfect, one change I must admit, I would prefer my potatoes served not floating in the sauce, I like them crispy. and the SERVING SIZE! I was served an entire spatchcocked chicken plus potatoes. No, I did not clear my plate, those magicians who saw to our every need took our plates, swept any crumbs from the cloth, packaged our delicious remains then knew we would be enjoying at home tonight, then someone suggested, dare I say, DESSERT? How can I describe the desserts? The six of us shared three, each came accompanied by a scoop of a different ice cream or gelato. Butter cake, cannoli and tiramisu, each one better than the other. During dinner both the manager and Steve, the owner stopped by the table and we made sure to send our thanks and good impressions to the chef. OH, everyone at our table was equally as impressed with their choice of dinner as I. If. when you go be prepared, you are not just going to dinner, you are going to enjoy an event if you allow yourself to, we spent close to three hours savoring the experience and look forward to a repeat in the not too distant future.“

“So glad I tried and continue to enjoy Maria’s Italian Bakery and Cafe! This authentic spot offers wonderful service and excellent quality menu items— highly recommend!“

Gerald, Nicole, and ALL of the staff on scene and behind the scenes were accommodating, considerate, and professional to the family & guests. I’m just a vendor, but yes they were just as hospitable to me too! Amazing night, full of nothing but good vibes! Keep creating unforgettable memories, Pinstripes !“

“Love their food but some improvement is needed with ordering. I’ve had 2 issues which I wasn’t going to mention the first one but after today I decided to write about it so maybe Managment can see and tweak things a bit. First issue a while ago (I think about 5-7 months ago) I ordered a plain cheeseburger with fries and bottled water. Drive away from the drive-through and as I get ready to eat my food 10 min later I realize they didn’t put cheese on it. So I drove back and said I asked for a plain cheeseburger and you guys forgot to put the cheese on. Girl says ok and gets me a new one. Drive away and I park in front of the store to just take a peak and guess what. Again no cheese. Burgers have no cheese. Cheeseburgers have cheese. A plain cheeseburger gets nothing else except for cheese. A plain burger is just a bun and the burger patty. I just wanted to eat so I moved on and ate my plain burger. Today I ordered a Buffalo ranch chicken salad but I asked if I can have the chicken grilled instead of the breaded one and they gave me chicken without Buffalo sauce. If they weren’t sure they could have asked but this wasn’t for me. And this was not their first time ordering this item but they’ve never had an issue so somehow this message was confusing either to the kitchen or how it was rung in. This was ordered at 5:04:50 PM on 2/10/2022 receipt DT98. Order Id: AAANPKMJAQAH at the 861 E. Rand Rd. My. Prospect location. We didn’t have the energy to drive back and get the right chicken. Again, we love your food but these things shouldn’t keep happening. Thank you“

“Everything we ordered was great tasting, to go orders arrived in a timely fashion, unlimited salad and breadsticks and very kid friendly.

Parking: Lots of parking spots

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly and welcoming family atmosphere“

“Great food. Their supper club menu is wonderful. #iraeats“

“We dine at or pick up from Cansino's all the time. The pizza is good. The Mexican food is great. My kids love the Amerivan food (mozzarella sticks, chicken tenders, etc.). Fernando and Alfredo are terrific people. Give them a shot.“

“The food tasted great, but not outstanding. Prepared well. Everyone in our party of six was happy with their meal. We sat outside, so I didn't get the feel of the inside atmosphere. Server was knowledgeable. Total of $77 for us two, w/glass of wine. Worth patronizing if you're willing to spend. Pictured is my eggplant Parmesan, which was great. Lemon chicken and ravioli. Deserts were average.

Wheelchair accessibility: Easily accessible.“

“Delicious food, fabulous service and a wonderful wine list. It is unbelievably good and we had a great dinner!“

“The food was wonderful and the service was fantastic!“
