“Best food/pizza in western MASSACHUSETTS.“

“Food is spectacular The best Italian since I moved to Connecticut Our server was excellent“

“I believe it was the owner that greeted me, This was my first time into the deli. He told me he thought I would really like it and he was wrong, I LOVED IT! I tried the hot bar. For $9.99 a pound they have an array of fresh made dishes. I tried the lemon chicken, mac n cheese, vegis & roasted potatoes. It was like having an Italian home cooked meal on the fly! I am excited to go back and try other hot bar items and they also have a delightful menu of sandwiches/wraps/salads for lunch! I work in the area and I am glad I stopped in today! They also have specialty Italian groceries/meat/cheeses for sale! Perfect place. Thank you for your hospitality today.“

“We celebrated our anniversary here tonight and it was incredible. Every single thing from the drinks, to the apps to the main dishes and even our dessert were all fantastic. Lisa and Mike on the bar were sweet, attentive and super personable. We had an amazing time!“

“We hosted my parent’s 50th wedding anniversary a couple of weeks ago and it was wonderful! They were easy and accommodating to work with during the planning. The day of everything was just as we discussed, the food and drinks were excellent, and everyone enjoyed themselves!“

“Absolutely delicious. Definitely go try them out!!!“

“I hosted a dinner party after my daughter's graduation on May 2nd. I had met with the owner, Lyndsay, in advance and saw the private upstairs area. There were 14 of us and that private space is lovely. The food was exceptional! The salads, entrees, appetizers and desserts were so good and everyone was very impressed. The cocktails were delicious. None of us had eaten there before and I wanted someplace new and different. Everything about the evening was perfect and Lyndsay went out of her make to make sure I was satisfied with the entire event. I will definitely be back. I highly recommend Osteria. I highly recommend“

“👍 Absolute hidden gem.“

“I love this place so much. The owners/staff are really awesome, the prices are affordable, the pizza/grinders/salads/desserts we’ve had are all amazing, awesome toppings, and always delivered quickly. Pizza Royal is a great local pizza place in Springfield and I’d recommend it to anyone! I don’t get pizza from anywhere else.“

“My mother who lives nearby at Reeds landing enjoys still being able to go out for a meal now and then. Not only is your food always good, but I want to give a shout out to your staff for going above and beyond with helping my mother who uses a walker with getting through the front entrance doors safely. Thanks again!“

“First time at Milanos, very good experience. The two people behind the bar were efficient and friendly — I had a spicy marg and a tasty spritz with strawberry and fig. Friendly patrons at the bar. Pizza was delicious. Alfredo and manicotti both good. Very welcoming environment. It’s an hour drive for us and we will for sure be back.“

“Amazing dinner at Cima celebrating our anniversary! Our server Tina was amazing as well as the entire staff! My husband had the filet and I had the NY strip, cooked to perfection. Thank you! can't wait to return.“

“Awesome lunch! The food was great, the environment was nice a soft. We sat outside and listened to nice music and the waitress was very attentive and very professional. Great job Victoria- thank you for your great service. It was my first time here and I loved it. Definitely will be back.😁“

“This is, without a doubt, some of the best pizza I’ve ever had. The Greek-style preparation is perfectly balanced—not overly greasy or excessively cheesy, as is sometimes the case with this style. What truly sets this establishment apart is the consistent quality across the entire menu. From the subs and sides to the full dinner options, every item I've tried has been exceptional.

The crust stands out in particular: soft and unique, with just the right amount of crunch. Orders are consistently prepared in a timely manner, and the restaurant itself is spotless, with clearly presented menus that make ordering easy.

The owners are genuinely kind and welcoming, adding a personal touch to every visit. A true hidden gem located in the heart of Sixteen Acres—absolutely worth a visit.“

“This has recently become my favorite restaurant. We found it almost by mistake and ordered a pizza, since then we have been back more times than I can count. The pizza is the best around. The salads, subs, fries even the garlic bread is fantastic! We have eaten there, we have ordered pickup and the day I realized they delivered to our neighborhood was a great one! I love the people and the atmosphere, and the prices are entirely reasonable. There are many more expensive pizza places and their pizza isn’t half as good. No hesitation 5 stars. We had an exceptionally difficult week and this made life so much easier. Thanks for being great!“

“My wife and I ate here for the first time after hearing great reviews. Had 2 frittata paninos, a slice of pizza, tea and espresso.
The frittata was delicious, fresh and full of flavor. The pizza was fantastic, simple with sauce, grated cheese and basil served at room temperature, the old school Italian way.
Espresso was rich and flavorful.
We will be ordering a full pizza soon and we will definitely be back to sample lunch.
The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable!!“

“I recently got catering for the first time from Frankie’s. It was absolutely excellent and everyone loved it! Frankie was more than generous and gave us tons of food so everybody took home leftovers. I got nothing but positive feedback. Their pizza and other food is also excellent as well. I live right down the street and the place is always busy. Definitely one of the best places for a pizza and Italian food in the area! Frankie and everybody who works there is also extremely nice. I 100% recommend you check it out if you haven’t already!!!“

“They have the best 1 pound meatballs ! Everything in their store looks delicious!“

“Their food is amazing. The wife and I have been doing their cauliflower crust pizza with only chicken, broccoli, olive oil and garlic (no cheese), it is our treat for our diet. I could eat it everyday! We have both lost weight and still can enjoy a treat every once in a while. We have never had a bad meal there! I highly recommend anything on the menu, the food is spectacular!“

“Had a pizza last night
It got here promptly, hot, & delivery person was very friendly ! It was delicious, had regular crust, sausage, hamburger, pepperoni, & mushrooms & it was fairly thin, crispy, it was delicious !
Price was more than a couple of places we’ve gotten it but worth it !!“

“I’ve been coming to Family Pizzeria for years, and even left them a 5-star review over 7 years ago. After a long break since 2020, I finally made it back—and I’m happy to say the place is just as great, if not better, than I remember.

The dining room is clean, cozy, and welcoming with exposed brick, friendly vibes, and plenty of seating. The staff was warm and attentive throughout our visit, making the experience feel personal and relaxed. It was great to see the same sense of family and community I remembered from before.

We started with their tortellini soup and stuffed garlic bread—fresh, hot, and comforting. For entrées, we had the spaghetti and meatballs and the lasagna. Both were flavorful, generous in portion, and served piping hot. The sauce is rich and classic, the kind that sticks with you in a good way.

Family Pizzeria still lives up to its name—great food, great service, and a place that feels like home. I came back to upgrade my review, and I’m glad I did. If you’re looking for an authentic local spot with hearty Italian comfort food, this is it.“

“Iris told us she has owned this place since 1963! She took so much care to make sure we got the food we wanted in the time we had to sit down and eat. Everything is fresh baked, woth fresh ingredients and it definitely makes the difference. It reminded me of my grandparents, the way they used to cook.

Some small notes, but not to deter you, make sure you go to the bathroom before hand because there is none here. It does take some time for deserts, because they are made fresh; about 30 minutes. The tables can be a bit wobbly, but it all has a wonderful, thoughtful presentation from the old country, as she put it. We did not see alcohol on the menu, but it was nothing problem to grab beer across the street and eat it with our wings and pizza.

The pizza was exactly what we wanted from that Greek/Italian style, cut into squares and the wings were surprisingly good. Get the garlic parm.

Lovely owner who takes so much care in everything she does. Can't wait to eat the cake when we get home.“

“I went to this cafe today and the inside of the place was so clean 🧼 smelled like holiday spice. The customer service was great the owner miss Luisa was so fun and sweet. I got an apple danish and a cinnamon cappuccino ☕️. If you need a place that’s cozy to get some work done on a laptop 💻 or just a quick getaway to feel appreciated please go to cafe palazzo 😊“
