“This was my first time food drinks dessert were excellent. The water was tasty as well. I am the pickiest layer and found nothing to complain about. When going on Friday or Saturday get reservations they tend to be extremely busy. I am going back soon“

“Long-term customer & always excellent!!“

“This was such a great surprise, we came to Romas Pizza after looking for a local pizza place, we read the reviews but we weren't expecting what we tried that night. The place was almost empty, around 6, on Wednesday. We decided to order a 14" veggie pizza. It was tasty, warm, thin, a little crunchy (the edges) but just enough to give a great support and good shape. I was surprised, it wasn't oily, and the ingredients tasted like fresh. Overall, I would say this place is a hidden gem. I saw/read this place recently got a new management, well I cannot say it's better than before as this was our first time trying this place, but I can say, it was a nice experience, and definitely we are coming back.“

“Sunday brunch was delicious. Maryland style pizza never disappoints at this place. We all split the LEDO Italian salads. (they were huge) We also had one tray (square)of their pepperoni & sausage pizza and one tray of the plain cheese. The thin, flakey crust was cooked to perfection. (The pepperoni was sliced so thick and the sausage tasted fresh) The fries were a nice surprise- we thought we were getting the waffle fries, but the ones we got were done perfect! Hot and crispy.
We will be back.“

“Best vege pizza I've ever had! Jeani Burns“

“Outstanding quality and service at every visit. Worth the drive from Dayton to treat ourselves each week to the thin-crust pepperoni pizza!“

“One of my favorite Italian restaurants! The Maggiano salad is AMAZING!“

“After a rough opening experience, I reached out and expressed my issues with the staff...After meeting with Management, they listened to my concerns and offered to ReDo my order....and Wow!!! Give them a try today from one Paisan to another....Great food...Be patient on the weekends as that is when they are most busy. I'm a fan again!!!“

“I have lived in Catonsville my entire life and have always loved Scittino’s carryout menu. I am ashamed to say that only recently did I discover their amazing deli counter! I have now gone back numerous times. The staff is incredible! They let me bring my own serving tray, and as I picked out meats and cheeses, they handed them right to me to organize on my tray. Even better, they plastic wrapped it beautifully for me! I will continue to go to them for all of my cheese and charcuterie needs!“

“This place has really stepped up in the last few years. Every dish was excellent, and every ingredient in their pizza was delicious!!“

“We love our Chef P Fridays! The Chef P family makes it feel like home and the food is always delicious! A Catonsville landmark!“

“Our family usually orders out for Friday night pizza night from here and we love it. During the summertime we’ve started doing lunches here on Monday since their cheese pizza deal is great- especially with our 3 children. I took the kids in for a late lunch today by myself because my husband was working…our kids are 7, 2, and 3 months. Any mom knows that there’s a certain time limit in restaurants before your kids go crazy. We walked in, and got sat right away. Our waitress was amazing. She went above and beyond for us. She offered to double cut the pizza- “it will cool faster for your littles,” she changed the one tv behind the bar to a kid friendly show- told my 7 year old what the options were and let her pick. She kept checking on us, making sure the kids had what they needed, talked with the kids as well. When it was time to leave she took the leftover pizza and boxed it up for us, she offered to even walk the pizza out to my car with us because she saw my hands were full. I told her I think we had it and let my 7year old hold it. She said “well at least let me hold the door for you as you walk out.” I thanked her for everything and my 7 year old said “oh mommy we forgot the mints…” as we were leaving…I said it’s fine! I have mints/gum in the car- it’s raining so let’s just get in the car. We were loading everyone in their car seats and our server ran out, in the rain with a little brown bag with their mints in it. She said “here mom, you can use these for later…” We’ve always loved the food here, and never had an issue with the service, but our server, Dora, went absolutely above and beyond for us. She said “I have twin 8 year olds…I know how this time can be.” Our lunch was delicious, and the service was wonderful. As we were leaving, my 7 year old said “Mom, that lady…she was really nice…like REALLY nice to us.” Thank you for being wonderful! You made our day!“

“Unique menu and best service .“

“I eat from here 3 times a week and I always get the same thing, Antipasto salad with grilled chicken IT IS AWESOME.“

“If you like pizza, you need to order one here! They are delicious! Bartender Kimberly always gives the BEST service around, AND makes phenomenal drinks!“

“me and my lovely lady just flew into town today and stopped at Gianni's and couldn't be more impressed with George and the staff! great pizza and Canoli! the customer service was amazing something you definitely rarely see these days! thanks again Wayne & Nicole“

“We've avoided this location for years because of past horrible service.
However, today, we'd give it a 10/10! We had Aubri as our waitress and she was the best waitress we've had anywhere in a long time. We'd come back and request her specifically!

Food was quick and hot and the breadsticks were fresh. 10/10 recommend.“

“Olive Garden Columbia MD …. I have to admit I have not been a fan of Olive Garden, but that has change since Sunday October 27 ….we had a large party of about 65 people. I have never experienced such impeccable service ever with a party of this size. Orders taken promptly, drinks served, food hot and and correct. It’s hard to relate in words. Great attitudes from the servers and even management helping out. I applaud you all and I am now a big fan of Olive Garden. Oh yeah and the food was scrumptious…I had the Cajun salmon …. The shrimp something appetizer.“

“But not the Pasta Fagioli. BLAND. And should have a little meat, had none.“

“Food is good! I had some confusion ordering online (Look at the top of the online order menu list, not the banner at the top of the webpage to get the online bogo pasta deals while they last.). In my frustration I became a bit of a Karen. Nonetheless, management called me up a few days later and patiently, politely, kindly helped me navigate their webpage.“

“Price and quality excellent definitely i will return excellent customer service.“

“We were on our way back to MA from a week in NC and googled Italian restaurants near us- being outside of Boston, Italian food is a staple for us. The food here was amazing- the service was outstanding and the “first time” dessert delicious! I highly recommend this restaurant if you’re looking for great food and service for a very reasonable price!“

“We recently held a baby shower in the main banquet room at the Olive Grove Restaurant. The staff was beyond excellent, the food was great and the support they provided to us was above and beyond. I would highly recommend you consider this business, if you are looking for a location to hold a family or business event.“

“Owings Mills Ledo’s is by far the best place in the area. I drive 30 minutes to have their pizza. The owners are very friendly! Thank you“

“We live in Catonsville but stopped to eat here and we were very impressed! The fettuccine bolognese, baked ziti with meat sauce and meatball parmesan sub were ALL DELICIOUS! Our waitress was kind and attentive, providing great service! The atmosphere was nice - clean and relaxed dining! My hubby appreciated the Oriole game being on (no volume) for his viewing pleasure. We definitely recommend Anthony's and will find a reason to drive out to enjoy more of their delicious food & excellent service!“

“Took my kids over the weekend pizza is AWESOME SAUCE!!!! staff and waiters was super nice GREAT experience definitely will be returning“

“Landed at BWI at 9 pm and wnded at restaurant at 910 pm. Instead of turning me away owner Ihjaz Khan invited me to order and dine in . He and his brother served and chatted with me till I finished my portion.
Ordered lamb curry and naan. Curry was very authentic and naan freshly made despite the late hour . Definitely worth trying when you land in Baltimore“

“Delicious & reasonably priced food. Everything tasted so fresh! It was so good that we wanted to keep eating even though we were SO full. Quiet and relaxed atmosphere with friendly and hard working staff. We had the fried ravioli as an appetizer with stuffed shells w meatballs and the Chesapeake pasta. Holy cannoli!! Just thinking about them makes my mouth water. Would/will come back again.“

“We had delivery at our motel. Wish we were staying longer because we would definitely order again. The Buffalo jumbo Wings and Chicken Quesadilla were delicious. Delivery prompt.“

“I stopped by today to pick up a pizza. Stephanie was the manager. She is wonderful!!! She was training with patience a new employee and finishing pizza orders. She handled a wrong order with grace. She acknowledged every customer as they came in. She was above professional! Thank you Stephanie! Love my Ledo’s!“

“I only use carryout. Pizzas are consistently very good, thin crust, square, pizzas. Chicken wings are also good - dont recall ever eating something i didn't like. Heads-up: the little plastic cup with the cheese for the Pretzel is NOT microwave proof (opps, my bad). : ))“

“I never believed my life will change in such a manner. I saw a review on Facebook about Mrs Craig Vanessa trading skills and before then I have never risk money doing anything online with anybody because I think I was so wise and never want to be cheated but when I contacted Mrs Craig Vanessa, she explained everything to me concerning trading and the profit I can make within a week I was convinced to give a trial and risked to invest $1,000 and I made a withdrawal profit of $9,000 within a week. I am so happy that I trusted her and she didn't fail me. You can reach her through WhatsApp with the number on her Facebook: Mrs Craig Vanessa“

“I was lucky enough to come here for an event hosted by Brian Wee. The atmosphere & ambiance was nice and relaxed. That was the best pizza I have had in a long time! 💕 I am from TN, but if I ever come back to this area I will definitely come back!“

“On July 27, 2024, placed an order for a cheese steak sub and a ginger ale. The only part of the order that was correct was the ginger ale. I called the restaurant and explained my issued to the night manager. He immediately had a new ordered to my home. I thank him for solving the issue immediately. I don't think (lack of attention to detail) will happen again. I am a Pat Pizza customer because people like him . THANK YOU AGAIN“

“Best pizza around. Love it!“

“We have been ordering food from the Arbutus location for years and never been disappointed. Tonight we ordered baked old bay wings, chicken parmigiana sub and chicken Cesare sub and everything was so delicious! Perfectly cooked and taste was off the hook! Scott Lindenberger“

“I order Eggplant Parmesan everywhere I go - expensive establishments, cheap places, and everywhere in between across the US. Pizza Blitz's Eggplant Parmesan is in my top 3! A delicious and generous portion along with garlic bread. And the service is very friendly and accommodating. Eat-in is nice, but definitely nothing special.

Vegetarian options: I don't eat meat in restaurants and I have no problem eating here.“

“Happy the food and service“

“Great food and service. Setup catering for lunches for the first time with them and couldn't be more pleased with everything. An absolutely pleasure to work with!“

“We called the Westminster Location for delivery and spoke with a very friendly young Lady named Tylor. She was so friendly, and very patient with me as I was getting all kinds of background noise from my Nephew ? She was very helpful, and wrote our names on the subs so we knew whose sub was whose. Thank you Tylor. ?“

“Ordered a chicken ranch wrap and this is what i received. This is my first time ordering from this place and i am very disappointed. How is anyone suppose to eat this“

“I went to the one in Catonsville and chose on ordering the 16” Sicilian Pizza. I swear this pizza is heaven. Now I have to figure out on how I’m going to hide it from my kids because I don’t want to share any 😋😩😂 Love Giorgio’s menu“
