“Delicious breakfast. Thank you so much for your hospitality.“

“Ordered off of their catering menu for my wife's birthday. I purchased the Margharita Seafood Special with shrimp, scallops and lump crabmeat in a rose' cream sauce and it was excellent! The homemade meatballs jad everybody raving and their sausage, onions and peppers in marinara sauce was also great. Thankfully we had some left overs that we are still enjoying. Lastly was their Greek salad, very fresh and loaded with feta cheese. I definitely recommend these folks for your next lunch or dinner or when you need an event catered. Call and ask for Saul and he and the staff there will take great care of you!!“

“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.“

“Dinner with a large group. Our server, Lisa was great in handling all of our orders.“

“CuVino for the catering win!! We celebrated a 95th birthday yesterday and had ordered the whole lasagna tray, and 2 half tray salads. Everything was prepped and presented beautifully. The lasagna and salad portions were generous and their recipe was perfectly balanced with meat, cheese, noodles and sauce. And then the perfect bake with crispy edges! When I saw that bread was included in the lasagna order, I noted it but didn’t think much more about it. The tray of fresh and warm yeast rolls was the icing on the cake!! And so plentiful that we passed them around before we started dinner. I think our 8 grandchildren were responsible for eating half the tray but there was more than enough for everyone.
CuVino is our go-to for Italian cuisine from now on!! Many thanks to the whole team.“

“Yesterday, I had a 'surprise" 25th wedding anniversary party for my daughter-and son-in-law. It was amazing. Everyone raved about the food. We used a "happy hour" set-up. The private room was set up perfectly. Michael and Kayleigh were attentive to any request of our guests. . The food was superb. The display was appealing to the eye. Everyone had so much fun. I highly recommend Casa Mia's for a casual dinner or a catered party. I thanks to Leah and Mark for all of their in the planning and on the day of the party. Casa Mia's made this a celebration to remember.“

“Great service and great food! my bestie and I come here every month for their monthly wine and dinner meals. Each month there may be a 5 or 6 course meal: each is a different theme and different food/drink/wine pairing. The service is always good and the staff are friendly and accommodating. Omar is the manager who typically hosts the dinner and describes each portion of the meal and makes the evening engaging and entertaining. They even have a raffle for interesting prizes and baskets, still hoping to win!!!!!!. There is a chance to order a meal to go for $10 bucks! Book your reservation today!

May 2026:

Coming here once a month is my tradition with my girlfriend for the wine and dinner themed meals. Sometimes they have bourbon or other spirits. The staff are always friendly and accommodating which makes the experience even more enjoyable. For the month of May the theme was based on movie night more specifically on the work of Francis Ford Coppola a filmmaker. One of the leading figures of the New Hollywood, Coppola is widely regarded as one of the greatest and most influential filmmakers in the history of cinema. He also has a successful wine business. The meal featured his wines and we got an apron with his name on it. The 4 course meal featured creamy tarragon shrump bruschetta, linguine sostanza with grilled chicken, Tuscan grilled fillet with crab scampi and for dessert… a yummy chocolate walnut brownie with ice cream. Everything was delicious and of course you have the option to order anything off the menu to go for an additional 10 bucks. See you at the next one!!! June 2026 will feature 2 dinners!“

“Always a great experience. Great food. Great service. We always stop by when we are in the area.“

“Exceptional customer service and the best food in Nottingham! This Italian Delight Sensation truly deserves 5 stars for consistently delivering outstanding experiences.“

“I tried to leave a review and it won't post so I will try again. My family and I ate dinner inside on Friday night after seeing the trains. They were extremely busy but to our surprise the food didn't take very long and was just as good as always. Our server (also the manager I believe as she was helping the counter area, as well as getting change for the employees up there) is really why I wanted to write this review. Our son has special needs and wanted HER to pour his apple juice into his cup. Mind you the restaurant is packed and so was carry out, she poured his juice and kept coming around and filling it up a bit more for him throughout our meal. She was so busy but made us feel like the only customers there. She neatly boxed our pizza for us even though she was very busy and I told her she didn't have to do that for us. All in all was a great dinner, Amazing food and fantastic service. They do get very busy and you might wait a bit for a table but it is worth every second of the wait. You won't be disappointed. As far as carry out goes we were sitting right next to the carry out area and the line was across the mall and pizzas stacked on their oven. They were very busy but they seem to get through the line pretty fast so although you might have to wait a few mins to get to where you order the food is worth it. I would watch a man bring up bagged orders and then within a minute our server would check the bags hand certain ones to the people working carry out and yell a number I believe this was to get the people here already waiting their food right away. Seemed like they have a working system for this crazy time. So although the lines seem very long it wasn't bad at all. Our kids also loved the trains. Was the first year they are old enough to really enjoy them and enjoy them they did!“

“The service has improved, the food is very good especially the meatballs and chicken but the atmospheres got worse. The atmosphere wasn't good the last time I was here years ago but now there rips the the seats and the dining room looks like something out of a horror movie. I am still giving them a 4 out 5 because I will have to consider going out of my way to do carry out even if they are 15 minutes away from my home.“

“Randomly driving through Timonium on our way back to PA we were looking for food. Fuentes showed with good reviews and we stopped. Now once a month (sometimes more) we drive an hour back to Timonium for amazing food. We’ve even brought family down here. The italian food is plentiful and tasty but the fish and shrimp tacos are our favorite. A lovely couple owns the place and they cook all the food and they’ve always been kind to us. We hope to come here for many more years.“

“I have visited a few times for lunch now. They have a good selection of classic Italian sandwiches as well as some of their own inventions. They are all delicious. Scittino's deli and butcher counter is also excellent. I would recommend the house made caponata or porchetq“

“This was my 1st order from Pizza Sauce... I ordered two breakfast bowls and let me tell you they are huge! Easily enough to feed 4 adults. Fast delivery. Super tasty. And great prices!“

“I love olive garden so much !!!! Usually I dont know what to get because all of it looks SO good and I want to try something I've never had sometimes and it always ends up good!!! I had gotten a text last night about a free delivery fee code ( OGDELIVERS) which saves me 5 bucks. And I knew immediately that I was ordering olive garden for lunch tomorrow . Originally I was thinking of ordering a bucket of my favorite soup ( zuppa toscana... its SOOOOO GOOD . I love it SO MUCH. I cant eat from OG without having it.) And then just 2 desserts one for later and one for tomorrow ( because i have nothing sweet in my house and dont feel like going anywhere and ik I'll crave a sweet lol) that's all I was going to order ..... But of course it's a womans prerogative to change her mind lol so when I looked at the menu I ended up choosing something I never ordered specifically from olive garden and it was the *CHICKEN TORTELLONI ALFREDO* .. I absolutely LOVE Alfredo . (As long as it's not from a jar from the grocery store, it has to be homemade or atleast tastes homemade). And I dont know what Olive Garden does to their chicken to make it SO DAMN GOOD ...but Its literally DELICIOUS. definitely one of my favorite chickens!! And their are ALOT of different chickens.....lmao. and then instead of having normal chicken alfredo with the classic fettuccine noodles... it's made with asiago cheese filled tortellini. Which is pretty similiar to cheese raviolis. So a chicken alfredo with cheese stuffed tortelloni.... I needed to try that ! And I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOO HAPPY I DID . I TOOK THAT FIRST BITE AND MY EYES INSTANTLY ROLLED INTO THE BACK OF MY EYES AND I SWEAR I WASNT THERE FOR LIKE 3 SECONDS . SO GOOD THAT IT CAUSED AN OUTER BODY EXPERIENCE. . now THAT Is how you know it's good. & OF COURSE between soup or salad, I chose my favorite soup Zuppa Toscana) and it came with 2 bread sticks . This meal was so great. And i was just so happy ... SOO GOOD THAT I HAD TO WRITE THIS REVIEW TO LET EVERYBODY KNOW HOW GOOD IT IS

I know this is a long review and more than most probably skipped right on past mine and continued reading the shorter ones.. but If you did read the entire thing and are still here reading this ..
THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH!

Buttttttt...... If you've never had their Chicken Tortelloni Alfredo and sounds like something you might enjoy.. DO IT .trust me. you won't regret it!!!“

“Phenomenal pizza 🍕 Excellent service!!!!“

“excellent food, and service. will definitely return“

“Always great food & great service! The Manager Amad makes it a point that everyone’s experience is awesome!“

“Thank you for my free Birthday cheese pizza but I add 3 items $3.99“

“Food was abundant and delicious. Staff was friendly and they work well together.
The ambiance is a bit stale— several things they could do to make it a more appealing environment, But once the Cobb salad and huge plate of delicious lasagna were in front of me, None of that mattered. There was plenty for 4 people to have shared that yummy combo

Thanks team for a great dinner“

“Never been disappointed coming here🔥💯“

“Pizza with sausage, mushrooms and onions!“

“Indoor and outdoor dinner“

“I love their subs and fresh dough pizza..everyone who works there is nice too“

“Great quality of food and service.“

“Ordered delivery a few weeks ago, although I have friends who regularly go here and rave about it. The steak and cheese sub is on point. It is enormous, overflowing with delicious steak and lots of toppings. There was so much steak, it was spilling out of the sub onto my plate! My friend wanted lasagna, and that's what I ordered. The delivery driver was there to pick up and deliver my order, but when she found out they didn't have lasagna, she was unable to fulfill it. This is the reason for the decrease in star rating. As soon as the order came in, the restaurant should have contacted me to offer an alternative choice. I ended up ordering baked ziti on the fly, knowing that my order would take longer to prepare.
The gluten-free pizza ordered by another friend came out perfectly done, and with the toppings she wanted.
Although I have not eaten at this location yet and I'm not familiar with the ambiance, I plan to visit here soon. I recommend visiting or getting carry-out. The steak sub is a keeper, and the baked ziti looked good, was substantial and heavy, and contained a lot of cheese.“

“Being among all the pleasant people the work there!!!“

“Best pizza in the area😋😋 We has lunch that actually supported regulation. 🍕

This visit to Ledo Pizza worked well for our family because the environment stayed calm, quiet, and manageable throughout the meal.

The booths being placed away from the ordering station made a huge difference for sensory regulation by reducing noise, movement, and crowd pressure. The overall pacing of the restaurant felt predictable and not overstimulating.

👉🏾We also appreciated having options like gluten-free choices, which helpa everyone feel included in the experience.

Most importantly, we felt welcomed and not judged while navigating the visit in the way that worked best for our family.

Approved ✔️“
