We got 2 pizzas because of $4 off M-W! Pepperoni and The Coach, crust is excellent and sweet sauce. Garlic knots were great as well. Definitely recommend and we will be back. The cheese and ingredients are so fresh.

Good beer, great pizza. Pro tip- get a pepperoni pizza with a pesto swirl. Delicious!

I've been here multiple times and it's always hit or miss on wait times, prices being accurate, and quality of food. Today cemented that I won't be back. Tried the chicken wings for lunch and only ate 3 of the 6 because they looked a bit off and didn't have the best flavor so I stopped. Glad I didn't because I got ridiculously sick and ended up leaving work tonight. Called to tell them that I got sick and to check all of that chicken. Didn't even get so much as an apology. Literally just "sounds great, thanks" and then they hung up. Don't waste your money here

I work a few doors down at The Rooster's Nest Barbershop so Damiano has become an absolute favorite for me. They have never once missed with quality of food and service. It's always clean and the vibe is relaxed with sports on TV and decor. The Milanese pizza is the best,ask for some garlic butter it's a great compliment to the flavors of this pizza.

The pizza was good, service was horrible, 2 out of 4 drinks were wrong, waitress spent more time sitting by the bar with ber friends than anything. She brought out 1 pizza then brought our second pizza when we were almost done.

I showed up early to pick up my order after doing some shopping at Target. My order was delayed 25 minutes but I figured they were busy so no problem. I go in and see about 7 people eating in this whole restaurant (not busy), and tell them I'm a little early for pickup in the case it is ready. The waiter says "ok" and then ignores me until I have to grab her attention and kindly repeat what I told her standing in front of the counter for 15 min. She then looks at the pizzas, hands me a lukewarm one that has been sitting there since I entered the restaurant and tells me "looks like it just came out"! to cover her fault. Terrible service, I waited for way too long, and if I had picked up at the time the restaurant told me too it would have been 30-40 minutes after the pizza was done.

This is one of our favorite places to eat. The last 2 times we have not had a good experience :(

Tonight we were enjoying good food, drinks, and the drink special is 50% off all drafts for being Thursday!….. Until the bill came and it was quite a surprise as it was way more than we expected it to be. We noticed the waitress had not taken off our draft 50% discount. She explained that the discount was only for those customers physically sitting at the bar. I am attaching the list of specials that is sitting on every table in the restaurant, which mentions nothing about having to be seated at a certain place. Upsetting but we paid the bill and we will move on. Awkward!!!

The last time we dined here, we saw online that the restaurant closed at 9:00. We walked in at 8:20 and before we were seated, our waitress told us the kitchen would be closing at 8:30…. Okay weird way to greet customers, but if it’s okay, we will order and eat quickly. We ordered garlic knots and 2 chicken parm sandwiches. The garlic knots never came and the sandwiches came out as meatball subs…. We ate it but let our waitress know it was incorrect. We didn’t want to cause a problem or make the staff stay later than necessary. We paid and moved on.

They did comp our bill and gave us a free dessert. But for a place with such good food… we’ve had some pretty strange service issues the last few times we’ve eaten here. I love to support local places so I hope they make it, but if this keeps happening, we’ll go support elsewhere.

First off, it took 25 mins for someone to come to our table to even give us water. Then we order… a literal hour later our waitress comes by our table and says that there was a miscommunication with our order and our pizzas were given to another table because they had the same order. Our pizzas actually had numerous different modifications and add ons. So, she played it off and wasn’t the greatest actress when in reality she never actually put our order in. ALSO, we ordered a ceaser salad. There had been a ceaser salad sitting behind the counter that had been sitting there from the minute we walked into the restaurant. You guessed it, she brought me the ceaser salad that had been sitting there for an hour. So I kindly asked her to make a fresh one. Nope, acted like she went back there and it came back to me looking the exact same. lettuce wilted and the bowl was hot. A ceaser salad takes a minute to make and a pizza takes 15 mins tops to cook. If you go I would go at lunch on a weekday when it’s the least busy so you’re there only customer :)

Great place to grab a bite to eat for lunch. Their pizza deal where you get $4 off on certain days is a great value. Fun atmosphere friendly staff, within walking distance of campus. Almost every Tuesday me and my co-workers grabbed lunch here, we like it that much.

This is one of the best little restaurants downtown, their food is so good and the servers are so sweet. I love the 50% off drafts all day Thursdays but one time I did get a glass of white wine with my pasta, it was almost like rubbing alcohol and it was WARM. Other than that amazing food and atmosphere.
