“Delicious food, great customer service. We've ordered from here for years! Our favorites are the fried mushrooms, Buffalo chicken pizza, and lobster ravioli!“

“Hands down the best casual eating experience. The friendly owner all the way to service and atmosphere. This is not a hidden gem. It is a local and community family friendly restaurant. If the weather is permitting I highly recommend the patio“

“We just left and had an amazing experience!!! From the food, to the server and the young man clearing our plates. Absolutely wonderful!!! Will definitely be back again - very soon!“

“Ok, not everyone's choice, but linguine with chicken livers is a guilty pleasure. This one was the best. Tender mild livers in a rich white sauce paired with a resiling, just perfect. My partner's tuti mare was amazing as well. Will definitely be back.“

“Great service. Delicious food.“

“Thanks for the OVER PRICED BLOODY WINGS! 🤮🤮🤮“

“We ordered this pizza through doordash and received the wrong pizza. We went back to the store because doordash was entirely unhelpful and the owner replaced our pizza for the correct one for no charge. He was very kind and helpful as well!“

“I was at Pasta House today with a group. Our server was excellent and greeter was pleasant! My side House Salad was delicious… the way I remember as I haven’t been in a long time and rolls delish as well. However my Chicken Breast was terrible and honestly should be taken off the Menu. I’m actually shocked that they let it go out of the kitchen as were the ladies sitting near me. The chicken breast had obviously been cut in half, so was very thin and dry with burnt pieces on it and was hard to cut and chew. I tried 2 bites and then asked to get another one which my group was about done so I only took one bite and took the rest home. I just tried eating it for dinner and although it was a tiny bit better than the first one, it was still dry and inedible so I made myself a sandwich instead. The side pasta I brought home also wasn’t good. I really do not like to do bad reviews but I spent $15 on this mostly inedible meal and thought others should know Thank you!“

“We just had our first experience at Frederick’s this past Friday. The service was amazing and the food was delicious. We will be back soon.“

“Very nice ppl. Best pizza ?“

“We went there with a pizza pass to try it out. Had been to 15 other places listed on the pass and this one ranks number one. The best Detroit style Delux pizza and fried mushroom EVER.“

“I grew up going to Montebello’s. Last night I went back to check it out after many years away. It did not disappoint. The new owners have kept all of the vintage charm but added a brighter, lighter ambiance. The food had all my old favorites, especially the T-Ravs and pizza. There were several new additions that I will try on a return visit. Good job Tanya!“

“My wife and I wanted deep dish pizza. I googled it, and this place came up. We went. Service was friendly and prompt, and the food was fantastic. Had the italian salad and deep dish pizza...both were top notch. We will definitely go back!!“

“You will love this place!
I have been three times now. It seems to fit in nicely with our weekly schedule.
Staff remembered our names and our drink order.
Food just melts over your tongue.
A true must go place to eat.“

“I am updating this Review. My previous review was one star on each one after having the same sandwich completely butchered twice in one week and no, I did not ask for a refund either time. But today I decided I really wanted the sandwich. I didn't want to drive to a different town to get it so I ordered it and let me tell you I am so pleasantly surprised not only did they make it correctly, but they even gave me extra sauce and pepperoncini'a on the side and that was not necessary. It was not something that was paid for so I appreciate that 100% I don't know who it was at the window. He was kind respectful and whoever made the food obviously time and was also thoughtful about it so I am updating this review because I am pleasantly surprised with, how the service was today and unless something happens will stay the way it is. ☺️“

“Always amazing and have loved coming here since I was a kid“

“5⭐️ New favorite pizza joint!!“

“This is the Best Imos besides the original on Hampton. Each time I order from here my food is hot, fresh, and prepared just as I ordered it. 5/5 they do their absolute thing everytime. I usually only order online and go pick it up at the window so I can’t speak for calling in but I never experienced anything out of line with them.“
