“We had a great dining experience here & loved the food and service so much that we ended up having our rehearsal dinner here! They have great buffet options and everything we chose was delicious! We had lasagna, roasted chicken, roasted potatoes along with chicken fingers for an appetizer and it was seasoned and made perfectly. We highly recommend and will be back for lunch or dinner 🙂“

“Where I work we always order pizza from here and it is always delicious. There Veggie Pizza and hot honey Pepperoni are so good.
I decided to order a Veggie Pizza to take home. When I got there I gave them my name and the woman went back to see if it was ready. When she came back she told me it would be a few more minutes. Now I had called from work at 4:20 and the man who took my order told me it would be 20 minutes which would be perfect because by the time I left work and made through all the lights it should have been ready. Nope I got there at 4:35 and had to wait. Well after waiting 10 minutes she must have seen the look on my face and decided to go in the back again when she came back this time she told me that it just went into the oven because the computer in the back wasn't printing out the slips so they got it running again and apologized for the delay. Now for my inconvenience they never offered money off the Pizza or even try to do anything to make up for it. I get it things happen but this is not the first time this has happened. I have had guys at work say that they also had it happened to them as well or even say that somehow there order was lost and never made it to the kitchen. I decided to give them a chance even knowing this. So something is wrong there if it is a computer glitch then get new computers or was it employees being irresponsible? Whatever it is that can cause people not wanting to go there. I won't be going back that's for sure.“

“Delicious Italian sub, one of the best I’ve ever had!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Unforgettable Dining Experience From the very first moment we stepped into 3, we knew the night was going to be special. We were immediately welcomed by the manager, Elyse, whose professionalism, warmth, and genuine hospitality set the tone for the entire evening. The atmosphere was inviting, comfortable, and perfectly balanced between upscale and relaxed—and the staff mirrored that energy from start to finish. Our service was truly outstanding: friendly, knowledgeable, attentive, and always pleasant. Every question we had was answered with confidence, and the recommendations were spot-on. You could tell the staff genuinely cared about creating an exceptional experience. The evening began with perfectly crafted and beautifully presented martinis, followed by warm, flavorful focaccia bread that immediately set the stage for what was to come. The calamari appetizer was incredibly fresh, tender, and packed with flavor, and the charcuterie board was both visually stunning and deliciously curated. The entrees were nothing short of amazing. The ribeye was cooked to absolute perfection—melt-in-your-mouth tender and bursting with flavor. The pesto tortellini was rich, creamy, and indulgent, with every bite leaving us wanting more. What started as a simple date night turned into an experience we couldn’t stop talking about—and one we can’t wait to repeat. If you’re looking for incredible food, exceptional service, and a truly memorable night out, look no further. We’ll absolutely be back again very soon. Highly recommend. 🍸🥩✨“

“Excellent people exc food great prices!“

“Wonderful Anniversary dinner! The server was professional and personable and the food was delicious! Nice atmosphere in the dining room.“

“Been dining at Luciano’s in Wrentham for years However on mothersday I was shocked to get a bill of $300 plus dollars for 2 adults and two children. Ordered the veal special and got the special price $89.00 Swordfish on a bed of spinach for $52 another special price Front desk was very rude which was never like that. They have become over priced and not customer friendly. We will not return“

“Dinner was delicious. Service was great and atmosphere was also. Will definitely go back.“

“One of the few places in the area where I can eat my favorites Italian dishes that taste like in my hometown in northern Italy. And great staff!“

“Talk about a hidden gem! I’m actually mad it took me THIS long to go there.. the place is amazing. Good atmosphere, amazing food & reasonably priced. Can’t wait to go back!“

“We are regular visitors to Café Assisi, because every visit is excellent, in every way. The food is delicious - tonight we had chicken sorrentino and a shrimp special and enjoyed every bite. Our cocktails were perfect too, and one of our favorite servers, Sylvia, knew just what we would want before we even ordered. It’s nice to visit a restaurant where the quality and service are both above and beyond, every time. Yum.“

“Friendly staff, vibrant bar, and excellent food!“

“The frozen meatballs were reheated to perfection, finally some authentic Italian in Wrentham 🥰“

“Food was very good, as always. Service was slow, which was odd, because there were very few people eating in for a Sunday evening. Part of our order never did come out. Ordered an after dinner drink, it took so long we cancelled it and made one when we got home.“

“been going to Wrentham house for years, best pizza in town“

“We have lived in this area for more than 20 years and had never been. A friend mentioned so we decided to try it. We sat at the bar and had a fantastic dinner. Stacey was a delight and so nice to talk to. Service was amazing. Food was great! Portions are huge. We had a fabulous evening. We will be back!“

“I am a frequent customer of this location, eat 2-3 days a week. used to love eating amato's as a kid best place to go to relive my childhood. Do have a problem with the young guy that works there twice now whenever he has had to make my sandwiches he has messed up. Refuse to order through doordash anymore and will only go in the store and order so I can watch him make my sandwiches. Not the sound rude but it's really not that hard to read Black ink on white paper on how to make a sandwich especially since I order the same thing every time I go in made the same way“

“Just did a wedding celebration there on Oct 5th, 2025. Have to make some comments. Facility was Immaculate. Staff was more 6 star than 5. Food was great, but since I was working the stage as DJ, I had mine to go. Packaged well. Large dance floor, and acoustics of the room worked very well. When you perform all over New England, you have to tell it like it is.“

“Medway famous is the absolute best pizza house here in Medway for classic, family owned, quality pizza and food! There are not enough words to express how lovely the woman at the counter and her husband are! They are so accommodating, and sweet. We order pizza in larger quantities at a time for our shop. and they always have it ready right on time!. They take the best care of us and their food is fresh and good quality!!! They go out of their way to ensure everything you ask them for is there in the order. Extra sauces, napkins, drinks It is always spot on! They never disappoint. The pizza, pasta, subs are delicious! We, the Sullivan Tire crew, love Medway Famous and are so grateful they're practically our neighbor so we can enjoy the food often. Thank you for doing an outstanding job, consistently, and for being so accommodating! Mostly, thank you for making every experience a very pleasant one! Check them out, you will not be disappointed!“

“AMAZING FOOD! And great staff!“

“Quaint little place that feels authentic and coupled with fantastic service. The owner who works the bakery is very sweet and accommodates your requests. Bakery items are so tasty and you will come back for more. The display of flatbreads are extraordinary as they are lined up for your viewing. A must for breads and tasty treats. The custard filled bombolone is the best (and my favorite).“

“New to the area and had a hard time to find the right sub shop and a good roast beef! I’ve been here twice now and have been so impressed both times. The roast beef sandwiches are like the north shore(IYKYK) and the salads are so so good! They give you pita bread that tastes like pizza dough. So happy they are local.“

“I called Park Ave Pizza and they were super busy, so I told them I’d call back in about 15–20 minutes. Before I even got the chance, THEY called ME back to make sure they didn’t forget my order. At that moment I was literally scrolling for the next option and I’m so glad they took the time to reach out. That level of customer service is rare.

The food was amazing, delivery was fast, and the whole experience was 10/10.
Barbershoplove definitely recommends Park Ave Pizza! 🍕💯“

“A very authentic and family friendly Italian Old fashioned store the owners and the staff are are all family , my Dad and I go there every time we're in Milford. We're OG Gumba's as it gets, and we're never disappointed? try the De Parma Sub it's just short of a trip to Italy, but try anything even there pie is a mouth full of Amore'Grazzi Amico Meie,Jimmy and Banjo PadulaFranklin, MA“

“Been stopping by here the last few months since I discovered this gem. Ordered catering for family Easter get together for 14 and could have easily fed 25! Everything was delicious, fresh, and they helped me carry it out to my car. Five stars all around and Thank you, Luca’s!“

“Went out for my birthday dinner with friends and had a great time. Our server Walter was amazing and kept us laughing with great service. All 6 of us really enjoyed our food. I definitely recommend the chicken loretta. The back room could use some updating but otherwise I highly recommend visiting this restaurant.“

“Excellence! Kevin and Kim are amazing. Kevin’s dishes are an authentic Italian delight. Portions are perfect. Our new favorite! Our dining experience couldn’t have been more perfect. We will be back soon!“

“Wheeeeere to begin! A cute little establishment in a little plaza. Upon entering the staff was extremely friendly and attentive. The menu is bright and bold so there is not trouble reading it. Came in with my husband before we got ice cream to grab some buffalo wings. Sooooooooo glad I did! Them suckers were so dang good make you wanna smack ya mama! I’m known for my reviews taking a bite and this one won’t be different. We drove 45 minutes for some ice cream and ended up finding a little piece of BUFFALO HEAVEN“

“I was recommended Marinho's by some people in the gym when I was asking around for a good local calzone... I was absolutely pleased with my purchase the other week (A buffalo chicken calzone w/ bacon) as it was SUPER delicious! A superb first purchase. The dough was phenomenal and the ingredients within the calzone were tasty. Taste and quality wise, this is probably one of, if not, my favorite local calzones around now... Quantity-wise for it's price point, in respect to other places I've gotten take out from, it could be a little larger/heavier! It is a long style of calzone, not wide or round... But taste-wise, Marinho's absolutely takes the crown for me! The dough is what really made this calzone great, as well as all the ingredients within. I recommend giving it a shot, and I may just have to try out their pizza next.“

“Best service from Nate!!!!!! He is the best bar Server l have ever had. Great food and best drinks by Nate. Will go back just for him.“

“I had wonderful time at this Olive Garden. Our server Jack was so nice and talkative. Almost as if he was a longtime friend. He was super accommodating with our allergies. I appreciated everything he did for us especially since we were a large group. Food was out super quick and the area was super clean. Definitely recommend this place and our server to our friends.“

“The outside is beautiful, the inside is clean and inviting. Definitely recommend you make a reservation! The food is good (the Chicken Fire&Ice was too salty, but the Tortellini Matthew was great), the portions are generous. It was a busy night, service was a tad slow, but the kitchen was very efficient, the food came out quick and everyone was pleasant. There is a children's menu, complete with coloring pages and crayons; great atmosphere for families. You can choose to be seated away from the bar if you'd like, plenty of separation between the bar and the dining areas. The parking lot is free but gets full quickly, parking can be a challenge. All in all a good place for a family dinner, a celebration or a ladies night out. Will definitely be back again.“

“I discovered this gem a year ago and think they have some of the best pizza I have ever eaten. I have gotten it for friends and relatives visitng from all over the world and everyone LOVES it. The crust is fantastic. Our favorites are the Veggie and the Meditteranean pizza, but we've never tired any others.\n\nThe owners are lovely people and very accomodating!“

“Garden pizza has been iconic for many many years in the Milford area. I would say they are absolutely No 1 best pizza And sub restaurant around! this is the place to go for lunch or order a pizza to be delivered for dinner at night. Their spaghetti is amazing. Their subs are amazing. Their pizza is amazing. Highly recommend PS you have to try the onion rings with the dip sauce!!!“

“I had the best chicken Ceaser. salad ever made in my 52 years.“

“Excellent food! Wheat roll-ups are tasty and very generous portions. Friendly staff and delivery service is quick and reliable. Order once and you'll become a regular customer. - Jim Lucido“

“We tried Louie's Pizzeria for the first time earlier this week. Excellent service! NY Style hand-tossed brick oven pizza is absolutely delicious! By far the best pizza we've had in a very long time. Chicken tenders are delicious also; cooked just right and not greasy.“

“This is a fun, family friendly eatery that has been serving our Bellingham, Massachusetts community for 25 years. If you're grabbing your take out, or you want to eat in, this is the spot. The portions are large and the food is delicious. The owners and their staff are pleasant and efficient. The owners are engaging and invested in our town. Check it out!“

“Ordered takeout Friday night for the family. Bianca pizza and a ceasar salad. Young kids and adults all agreed that the one pizza was great (miracle we all agreed on one) and the ceasar was a classic that hit the spot. Added a couple of Whoopie pies (only $2!) for dessert. Delivery was on time, driver was cool. All around great experience. We will continue to order our family pizza night pizza from here - bonus points because I can order off Local by Toast app to rack up points.“

“Amazing and delicious food“

“Wow!! The “Motor City Roni” is the most flavorful pizza I’ve ever had! I’ve never ate a slice of pizza & had to nod with every bite. Crispy edges, layered flavors, and just the right amount of chaos. A must-order for pepperoni lovers! The thick-cut crust is everything you want from a Detroit style pizza, airy and pillowy inside with that signature crispy, caramelized cheese edge that crackles when you bite in. Enjoy!“

“Superb sandwiches (especially the Chicken Parm and the Eggplant Parm) as well as calzones. Platters and larger dishes are outstanding as well.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
If you’re in Massachusetts and haven’t tried Millis House of Pizza, you’re seriously missing out. The pizza is absolutely amazing — fresh, flavorful, perfectly cooked every single time. You can taste the quality in every bite.
The owners are just as incredible as the food — welcoming, hardworking, and they truly care about their customers. The customer service is always top tier, friendly smiles every time you walk in or call.
And let’s talk about delivery — lightning fast! The drivers are quick, professional, and always on point.
Hands down one of the best pizza spots around. Highly recommend! 🔥🍕“

“Awesomeness! Awesomeness!“

“River Falls family restaurant is a compliment to the city. The outstanding menu is only surpassed by the atmosphere and caring wait staff. The kitchens chef have created meals fit for royalty and as a weekly returning diner the meal is always more than satisfying. The owners mingle with the patrons to get the true reaction to the effort given by their entire team. From the hostess to the busboy and everyone else in between We Thank You.“
