“Top shelf pizza and wings. Owner has always been pleasant.“

“Scott gave us fantastic service! He appeared to be the only server this afternoon but you would never know it—he was so quick and attentive. He put us at a quiet table as requested, then got our order right in, refills on drinks, rolls, and then automatically got us a second pizza to take home as he said the first one didn’t come out the way he wanted it to.. we were so lucky to have him today—thank you Scott for giving us such a wonderful dining experience!!“

“The food was amazing and my husband and I cannot wait to go back. We both had the beef tenderloin which was cooked to prefection with delicious sides to accompany the meal. The bread was mouthwatering and I could not resist a few pieces! We had the arancini to start and next time, I will order my own plate; I wanted more - no sharing again! I had the amazing carrot cake and my husband had the Godive chocolate cheesecake. I am not a cheesecake lover but ended up determined to order it next time; it was amazing and decadent beyond my expectation. I am planning on taking my daughter here when she visits in December; she will love. I want to try every dish; I plan on dining here loads of times:)“

“Our first time to Arcos and were delighted to have Anthony & Christina as our bartenders. What a great time enjoying conversation with both, as well with Mark. Will definitely be back again soon.“

“Always great food and service!“

“Never ever had a bad meal or dining experience at Carbones. You want an Italian feast or just a good meal this is the place. Been going there for 50 years and will be there again tonight Always look forward to eating at Carbones. Thank you all there for giving us this treasure for all these years“

“Just picked up an order at Linguine's and realized that, despite having dined here a lot over the past 20+ yrs, I have never left a review. When I came today, I discovered they are having a tough day today with some mechanical difficulties, which presents a huge problem the day before Christmas eve😪 so I thought today is a good day to show them some love and appreciation for decades of excellent food and service⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Sending the owners and staff wishes for a Merry Christmas and safe and happy new year. 🎄🎅 Hoping todays challenges are corrected quickly💖🙏“

“Came in today with the family, and we were admittedly quite impatient. The host was so incredibly articulate and she made our culinary experience ten times better. Highly recommend Emily, she is phenomenal at her job and we will come back!!“

“just had one of the best dinners I have had in a long time..the server was (Evan) superb..the food (veal parm) was outstanding..the salad is always great..I really appreciate great Italian food and this was wonderful..“

“We stopped in today because we were in town for another reason and skeptically asked whether they had anything for vegans (you can't tell quickly from looking at the menu). The kind person behind the counter was genuinely happy to tell us they had great vegan cheese, we should get a pizza - - we did and we LOVED it, just like my favorite NY pizza. The nicest thing was that they really wanted us to be happy, and we were. Thank you, we will make a drive to be back!“

“Never been disappointed with the menu choices and even their Specials they offer for day to day afternoon lunch, appetizers in the later afternoon and the evening option of specials and of course their red wine sangria is the best 🍷👍. Thank you also to the friendly atmosphere and staff! Love live entertainment on Wednesday evenings but maybe perhaps On a Saturday afternoon/evening where I would love to sit outside with family or friends! Thanks again ~ this girls loves the sauce too which is why I always make a purchase and the holidays when my husband is able to purchase gift cards for some of his customers ~ woohoo“

“Reserved the backroom for our wedding celebrations on Friday night. The wait staff could not have been more accommodating! They were wonderful! The food was outstanding with many in my family commenting how fabulous it was. The Baked Stuffed Eggplant is my favorite....flavorful taste and so yummy! Highly recommend for a fabulous Italian food at affordable prices with the best wait staff! Thank you for making our wedding celebration magical!“

“Just an update...I want to be clear that I love this place, but wanted to update my comment from a few months ago...wing dings are not buffalo wings. I ordered bone in buffalo wings and got wing dings. I detest wing dings. Picture on website shows buffalo wings.

My previous comment still stands..I used to go here when the previous owners ran it. Decided to try it under the new owners and was very impressed! Food was really good and the owner was super nice! I'll be back!!“

“you took all the Italian food that made you what you were, a great Italian restaurant. Now you are just another mediocre restaurant with hummus and meh food and $$$$$ Bad choice. Where is the gnocchi??? and everyone has veal and chicken parmesan... not impressed“

“The panini here are SO good! It is clear that the on-site owners really care about quality ingredients and their customers. There are various levels of Parma ham depending on your palate and budget. The sandwiches are generous and can be shared. It is a tiny shop with several standing tables, so this is not a place to relax while dining. The brownies are to die for and often sell out, so get there early & make sure to get a latte. There is a nice selection of Italian products for purchase.“

“They've been around for a long time serving simple tasty reliable Italian food. It has that deli and cafeteria vibe. I always get the prosciutto and mozzarella Grindr. Huge sandwich enough for 2+. I love it when I see them take the whole prosciutto out of the fridge and slice onto the sandwich directly. Ask for extra oil and tomato.“

“We loved our outing to bertuccis this Sunday night. Our server Eddie, was very cooperative and patient with our group of 9 teenagers. He served us very well and was perfect on all of our entrees and appetizers. The atmosphere was warm and cozy and the restaurant was very clean. 10/10 would come again!“
