We ate in the lounge which was cozy and comfortable. My parents don't love fancy food or loud hectic restaurants, so this was perfect. We will definitely return“

“Yesterday was the first time we tried the pizza at Pizzeria Enzina...Wow... and we are so glad we did. My husband and son ordered a calmelized onion and red pepper version and I tried the vegan veggie pizza. We were thrilled at how delicious each slice was and we loved everything, from the taste of the dough to the generous amount of toppings and how incredible the vegan cheese on mine tasted so amazing...yes my husband and son both swiped slices of mine... it was that good. So happy we found you Enzina....my new favorite ....can't wait to try other dishes and the canoli too!!! We are so grateful for such a wonderful meal!!“

“Been going to place for a very long, since Polaroid days my absolute Are their Calzones. more specifically is the Italian Calzone, I can eat it all day.“

“Our family of 5 were there yesterday/Thanksgiving for dinner. Our server Amanda was the best we have ever had at a restaurant. She is a gem, and they should be so happy to have her. This was our first time there, and the food was excellent. It is as good as Mooo, Capital Grille, Smith and Wolensky, and any of the high end restaurants at a lower price point. Don't hesitate to go there. You won't be sorry. Ask for Amanda to take care of you.“

“Casa D'italia was a huge part of my childhood. I lived at 177 Newton Street in the pink house on the corner, and my mother often sent me to get your subs (the most amazing). I definitely need to come back. I haven't been back since the house fire.“

“This is a great restaurant and should be recognized as such. Veal Saltimbocca and grilled lamb chops for entrees were both impeccable along with a wonderful bruschetta with just enough balsamic vinaigrette to sweeten the palate. Lovely unhurried service. Great overall dining experience“

“Great little family run pizza place. We tried the Italian sub and the steak and cheese sub. Toasted rolls were perfectly warmed cheese was nice and melty. Definitely recommend. Not a lot of space to sit but they were friendly and it was comfortable.“

“I remember going there as a kid and getting there warn French bread, square pizza, lemon squares, and raspberry turnovers! Family treated you like family!“

“Lena’s is primarily a pizza and sub shop that’s been in business since 1945! I’ve tried a variety of menu items: Sicilian pizza (Mediterranean, veggie, and eggplant with fresh mozzarella), pasta dishes, salads, subs, even cheesecake. The food is consistently outstanding - especially at the very reasonable prices they charge. Highly recommended. Don’t be fooled by the very ordinary appearance and humble attitude of the nice people working there. The food is really top notch.“

“I’ve been going to pini’s for many years! Their food is so good! I always get the eggplant pizza! Their staff is really nice and it’s very clean ! Marisa C“
