“My family & I have been enjoying Genova's meals for over 20 years. They have served us on very special occasions, they have been the treat we send to local law enforcement & fire fighters as a thank you. It may be a hectic day/ week, we know they will be polite, consistently delicious and timely. They send us a Christmas gift card!!! In these times, to be a cherished customer is incredible!!!! * The lovely Babette will never stear you wrong if you have questions or need a suggestion.

“Pizza Garden in Manchester is our go to place for Stromboli! Their Stromboli is massive and we have learned to get a small which will feed us for dinner and have leftovers for the next day. Fast, courteous service from a real family owned restaurant.Parking: There is handicaped parking in front of the carryout.“

“Wonderful atmosphere and incredibly pleasant staff. Busy, which was nice. The desserts/breakfast in the glass case looked amazing! I wish I had gotten one of those. The salmon/biscuit sandwich wasn't my favorite, but that's my own fault! I'll get the quiche next time!“

“1st enjoyed dining here on recommendation few years ago. Absolutely loved everything about this place. When we want a special place, we gather our family and join you again. The atmosphere is very comfortable, although I was fond of the pre-renovation decor. Love that the space is not overpacked with tables and each setting has room. We have had the BEST servers each time. Portions are very large, fresh made pasta, the best ever warm dinner rolls, amazing desserts. We have enjoyed many of your dishes but your Signature has to be the Incredible Seafood Pizza! We order it as an appetizer and even order one to take home. We have moved away but when we visit, your restaurant is on our list of must do while in area. While I know we will spend a lot, I definitely feel it is worth it. Keep doing what you do!!!!“

“If I could give 10 stars I would! The food was delicious. We had the Italian cold cut, Rocco’s Panini and the meatball Panini. It was the quietest meal I have ever had because everyone was eating. ?The staff was the best. They were kind and accommodating. It felt like we had known them forever.And the desserts…. TO DIE FOR. The chocolate eclairs were hands down probably the best I have had. They have a great variety though and we already know what we are trying next.The store was so cool. Lots of Italian pastas, sauces, cheeses, I already have a list lol.You absolutely must try this place out!!! They made customers for life tonight!“

“We discovered this hidden gem a few weeks ago and have to say it is the best food, especially Italian, that we've found in ages. We've gone back a couple of times, and the food is consistently good, have not been disappointed. Everything is homemade, made from scratch and we love it. The owners are great, very accommodating and take pride in what they offer. Definitely recommend Life..Is Pizza!!“

“Wow! The delicious scents that lead ya to the delicious food, the plethora of treats from cookies to cake to gelato, a feast of cannoli!! Super customer service, everything ya need for a picnic or Italian pantry fill-up! All is yummy but today, I had their cutlet salad..did i mention handmade mozzarella?! and italia tunes to listen while ya dine..wow!“

“My husband and I joined my mother in law for dinner at Illiano's J&P about a week ago. It was the first time I'd ever been there. Dinner was fantastic, the atmosphere and waitress were very pleasing as well. My only regret is that I hadn't experienced this lovely place sooner. I will definitely be back hungry for more of this passionately made food.“

“Our third time and each time more impressive than the last. Jessica and Chris have done an incredible job of making this restaurant a warm inviting and delicious place to eat entertain and enjoy. And the cooks Carlos and Flor blew us away with their expertise. Sit at the bar if you can and watch the magic unfold. Highlights were the salad, the short rib pasta and the Ragú. And the chocolate ice cream. Oh my.“

“I found Greenmount Station to be a cozy restaurant, with great food and good service. We ordered the seafood wrap, crab cake sandwich, jerk chicken tenders, stuffed salmon, fried shrimp; all were very delicious. I wasn’t a fan of the bacon bites in the seafood wrap but I would still order it again (minus the bacon).The food is affordable and portion sizes are great. Although the restaurant closes at 11pm, We came here on a Friday night (around 9:45pm), only to be told the kitchen closes at 10pm. We were able to order pretty quickly and the food came out quickly.I will definitely be returning to try other items on the menu.“

“I believe the Ledos in Westminster is an under appreciated gem. Clean, courtesy and fresh are my three watch words when I review a restaurant. The tables and seating are clean, the wait staff is courteous, and the food is fresh. I have never had a bad meal in this Ledos. I am partial to their Italian salad with the Italian cold cuts and their house dressing. The dressing is unbeatable. I have had their Stromboli and Calzone as well and they are both extremely good. Although Ledos is chain/franchise oriented, this Ledos serves great food that is fresh, hot when it is supposed to be hot, plus they have a courteous and prompt waitstaff. Their prices are reasonable, which is “simply icing on the cake”.“

“My go-to place for good pizza. It's actually authentic, Italian pizza made by an Italian family. I feel like their prices are cheap for the quality of food you get. Been a favorite for years and will always give them my businessParking: Fairly good sized parking lot out front. Maybe if they were extremely busy then you might have to find parking elsewhere but they would have to a lot of people for that to happen“

“Great food, excellent service. I really enjoyed it!Parking: Park right on the side of the building. Very easy!Kid-friendliness: My grandchildren generally eat adult type food but I did notice a children's menu and it had several options.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Classico Pizzeria is a hidden treasure in Carroll County, and I couldn't be more delighted to stumble upon it. Peppe and Enzo are culinary wizards, crafting pizzas that transport me back to the cobblestone streets of Italy with every bite. Having lived in Italy for many years, I can attest that their pizzas deliver an authentic taste that's second to none. What's even better? The prices are incredibly reasonable for such top-notch quality. Don't miss your chance to savor perfection at Classico Pizzeria. Buon appetito!“

“So fast, so polite, and exactly the best pizza shops you can imagine. Mozzarella sticks, Cheesesteak subs, all you imagine the best would be, they make it just that way. Young staff is overly polite and high energy and fast! I recommend big tips because they are worth it! That's up to you, but you won't be disappointed. They've NEVER made a mistake on our family of 5s many, many orders! AAA+++Parking: Easy peasy!“

“I've eaten at Genova's way more than I can count and have tried virtually everything on the menu, aside from the Italian dishes.Firstly, Genova's has the best bread for subs in Carroll County. Their meats are on par with everyone else but nothing special, but the bread makes it. Portion sizes for the cost are hit or miss. If you get a parm sub, fillings are generous. Cold cuts filling is about what I expect and are decent (although their Italian Cold Cut is only ham and salami, which is not an ICC which should have at least 3 meats IMO, but that's a different rant.) Steak subs are a little light but relatively fair. I always add extra meat onto a half which is reasonably priced add on and that works for me. I've gotten their BLT and Veggie subs from time to time and they are absolute rip offs. It seems like they just give you the normal amount of filling as a topping on a regular sub with for these.Their pizza is one of the better ones around. Haven't really had a bad one there, although on a personal level, their pizza can sometimes be rough for my stomach. Try their garlic sauce even though its more butter than garlic but I'm not complaining.I used to like their salads too but the past few times I've been disappointed. I usually get the small Greek with chicken which is around $12, which is a bit high and twice out of the last 3 times, the container was about 3/4 full and/or has wilted or big chunks of white lettuce. The wings are another one that is a poor value. They are big and tasty, although sometimes light on sauce, but $10 for 6 wings is high. They bumped up the price when there was a wing shortage and never reduced it.So overall, Genova's has some great items and virtually everything tastes good but the value on some items is poor. Fortunately I've eaten there enough I know what is a good and poor value and I stick to those.“
