“⚡️I Love Delta Pizza 💗 I Am So Blessed to Have the Very Best🌟, Right Here at Home💚“

“The Power Lunch Specials menu is a bargain at $17.77. The Meatballs & Polenta are excellent. This is 3/4 of the normal lunch menu portion, but is very tasty & extremely filling. The fried calamari is heavy in batter & needs all the lemon juice you can squeeze onto it. The dipping sauces have a lot of hot peppers in them, & are both really spicy. Penne Caprese is fresh & tasty. lovely lunch. Unfortunately, portion sizes vary from day to day. Ask for a full portion. Fettucine Genovese is extremely flavorful. The rich flavor of the cheese enhances the braised beef--a good dish. The coffee had a nice flavor but was watery. It would be much better if they used more coffee.“

“My husband and I have dined at Basta Pasta on numerous occasions, preferring to sit at the bar, and have never been disappointed. The service at the bar is excellent and the food is delicious. You get a lot of bang for your buck with the salad and breadsticks with the meal too. Drinks are always well made and we are never left waiting long for refills or food. The entire staff are always top-notch and on top of everything, professional, hardworking, and polite. We appreciate this local restaurant and will continue to frequent it. Desserts are also delicious. Also, the coffee drink I ordered had real whipped cream which was impressive.“

“An unexpected hospital stay changed our plans for Valentine’s Day, but a week later we were able to do carry out. I had the Linguine Primavera with EVOO and my husband had the Chicken Marsala with fettuccine. The meals were fresh, flavorful and seasoned perfectly. Warm soft crusty rolls added to our enjoyment. Portions were so large, it provided a second night’s dinner! This wasn’t our first meal from Acapella and they have always been on point. Will certainly be back!“

“Boxhill crabcakes are the best. The people there are always friendly, and they give prompt service.“

“Liberatore’s has always been a favorite, but the new chef has taken everything to a whole new level. The food is absolutely incredible! The veal parm with penne and meat sauce is perfection — tender, flavorful, and cooked exactly the way true Italian comfort food should be. It’s easily one of the best veal parms I’ve ever had. And the mussels? WOW. Truly the best mussels around — fresh, perfectly seasoned, and bursting with flavor. I could come here just for those alone! To top it off, their espresso martinis are to die for. Smooth, balanced, and delicious every single time — the perfect drink to pair with a great meal. Jake does a great job! Huge compliments to the new chef and the whole team. Liberatore’s is absolutely thriving right now, and if you haven’t been recently, you’re missing out on some of the best Italian food in the area! 🍝🥂 -Marlaina and Angelica“

“we recently discovered this restaurant and everything we have ordered has been amazing! I got the shrimp scampi tonight and omg it was amazing and I still have enough for another 1-2 meals! I can't wait to let the employees at boxhill know I found a good scampi that doesn't use Italian dressing as sauce as we discussed earlier where to get some delicious scampi near by from. My husband loved the bacon chicken ranch pizza and my kids love their pizza in general. I'm pretty picky about my fries and theirs are pretty darn good too! The service is great, wait time is pretty quick! they have the cutest most tasty little loads of bread that went along with the scampi too. give them a try, you won't regret it!“

“Just had the best carry out meal from there tonight. Everything was fresh and cooked just right and hot upon delivery!“

“We have gone to this new location numerous times and found all of the staff to be very friendly and helpful. They make it a point to greet you as you arrive and wish you well as you leave with a smile. Very clean and excellent service. Big thank you to Jaida for taking such good care of us on our last visit.“

“What better way to enjoy lunch on a Tuesday then Buy one get one FREE salads!!! From the ease of online ordering, to the friendly service when I picked my order up. Once I returned to work to enjoy my lunch, they took the extra steps to wrap the souffle cups with my vinegar and oil, napkins, plasticware were all included.
The portions were perfect and the salad ingredients were fresh and delicious. I highly recommend our Season's pizza for your next lunch, dinner or weekend meals.!!!!“

“I called in an order and recognized an old voice…the original owner! Fortunatos had a little slump a few years ago with the “other” owners but rest assured, they are back! Our food was terrific!!!“

“I’m a pizza snob 100% and I’d have to give this place 5 stars!!! I work for Harford county parks and Rec and we used this place for a work party. When I heard the prices I was expecting not so good pizza and I was completely mistaken. The pizza toppings were huge and NOT greasy at all. We got several different kinds of pizzas and they were all great. I was told the staff was very friendly and that’s hard to find anymore. Thank you and I will be back on my own time to get some grub!!!! Keep up the good work!!!!“
