We thoroughly enjoyed our dinners, ate too much, and recommend this restaurant AND server to anyone looking for a great place!“

“Everything about our experience was phenomenal!! We brought our 88 year old mother out for a birthday lunch and she loved the place. We were a party of 6 and the restaurant was more than accommodating. Our service was extremely exceptional...Rebecca was so great she timed out the food and course perfectly.our glasses were always full and she brought out a complementary dessert with a candle that was much appreciated..thank you Rebecca for making our time so lovely!!!“

“I’ve always wanted to try food from Verona Inspired Italian! I regularly check out their weekly specials on Facebook and couldn’t wait to finally try them out. This was my first visit to the restaurant, and the food was absolutely delicious and amazing. We started with the bread and butter- yes, we actually started there because it was that good. We even asked for another basket! Then came the Eggplant Tower, and wow - it was fantastic. I’m a big fan of eggplant, and this dish was perfection: crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with fresh mozzarella, tomato, and pickled onion. You really need to try it to understand how good it is. For the weekly special, we had the Emperor Red Snapper. Absolutely incredible. The Tomahawk Pork Chop and the steak were both delicious as well. Our cocktails and beer were spot-on. Service? 5 stars. Thank you Joy M. The menu has so many tempting options, and we definitely want to come back and try more. P.S. That bread? We took another portion home. So good.“

“I have tried dang near half the menu and love it all. the cannoli is hands down the best I've ever had. Everyone I've encountered there has been nice and helpful. Highly recommend stopping in to this place!“

“If you’re looking for high quality, authentic tasting wood-fired pizza and don’t want to spend an arm and leg, then you have to come here! Whether you want a nice sit down dinner experience or just a quick take out order, Crispelli’s has you covered.“

“Amazing food! Best creamy Romano dressing!“

“I must admit it takes a lot for me to review a Italian restaurant since I'm all Italian.
Salvatore scallopini in Birmingham, was on the mark with great Italian dishes.
The food was wonderful. Excellent flavor.
The server , Carter gave us excellent service. Very attentive and friendly.
I was also very impressed that the owner came over to our table to ask us how our dining experience was going.
I would recommend this this restaurant to all.“

“Fantastic food. Pizza was amazing as well as the chicken Parm.“

“I absolutely loved everything about my time at Stella!! From waking in the door and being welcomed by Alicia who was very pleasant the whole time she had served my mom and I☺️. The drinks were good and paired really nice with the Tuscan chicken I had that was beyond fresh and very filling. My mom had the lemon chicken, as she described the chicken was very juicy and tender to a T. The portion of the pasta given makes everything great, from the taste and flavor while, if need you could take it home! I will most definitely be coming here for my birthday next week and I’m super excited 😆. Can’t wait to try happy hour one day!!“

“I love this restaurant, and our family enjoys coming on special occasion, and the food is always fantastic, and the service is always just wonderful.

We had my father in law's funeral luncheon here this past weekend and everything was incredible. The service, the room, the food, our main waitress was sweet as can be, and the guys helping her were great.

I cannot say enough about how wonderful everything was.

My sisters and I went to school with some of the Picano kids (Chrissy) and we have always loved and supported this restaurant and we will continue to.“

“great restaurant, lovely accomodations“

“I stopped by the Olive Garden in Rochester Hills recently, and honestly, it felt like stepping back in time. The place looks old … not in a charming way, but more like it hasn’t been updated in years. There’s definitely a sentimental side to it, especially for someone who used to love Olive Garden, but that feeling can only carry so far.

The chain’s overall quality seems to be slipping. From the service to the food, everything felt just… average. It wasn’t terrible, but it wasn’t great either. You can still count on the breadsticks and salad to do their job, but beyond that, the dishes don’t have the flavor or consistency they used to.

It’s a 3-star experience for me , mostly for the memories, not the meal.“

“We sat outside on a marvelous fall evening, the staff brought over a heater that was a nice addition. The hand crafted breads were so delicious lovely choice of wines . We had the tasty gem salad, crispy chicken thighs, veal parmesean and of course Lucinanos bolognese. We shared everything and I can't say enough about the delicious flavors of everything. Thanks again !“

“Manager Rocky welcomed us at the front door to start off a great visit. Michelle serviced our table and is always wonderful to work with. Manager Ron prepared Roman pasta Alfredo with truffle table side. It was perfect! It tasted so delicious, especially with adding salmon filets. Great live music topped the evening off.“

“Wonderfully quaint and charming little place! Food was excellent and so was the service! Highly recommend! Don't leave without trying the limoncello! 😋“

“Love the inside. It's clean and like a step back in time. I love the great staff. I really love the PIZZA! I'd go more often but it's a pleasant stop after a drive to get my haircut. It's a true, real gem.“

“Amazing authentic and fresh italian food with personable service! Good prices and generous servings. Me and my husband both enjoyed ourselves and left so stuffed. We were seated with no wait and every dish was served steaming hot. Can't wait to come back!“

“I love this place. One of my favorites at all times. Best food, friendly staff and atmosphere is just perfect. 10/10“

“Canceled a reservation at a different restaurant to dine here for my birthday. Did not realize it was a “show” night. When I asked the hostess if it would be a problem that we had 5 in our group instead of 4, I was a little shocked when she said actually yes it was. She checked in with who I assume was her manager who was facing me, so when the hostess told her we wanted to add one more, the look on her face said it all. You would have thought I asked to accommodate 20 people instead of four. They were able to seat us, and the dining room was packed because it was a show night. Every time someone came to our table they made sure to mention that we had 5 instead of 4. It was getting comical! Within a half hour the show was starting and the dining room cleared out. I'm certain that we were the only group left in the entire restaurant. We had already received appetizers but realized our waitress completely disappeared. The entire dining room was turned over- cleaned, reset with clean tablecloths, plates, napkins, cutlery and glasses. Meanwhile, our water glasses were bone dry and we all started to think our waitress went home for the night! We finally asked for her and she showed back up- bringing our soups and salads finally. When she brought the dinner plates she AGAIN mentioned our group of “5 instead of 4.” Like ok we get it!! Usually they have a nice ambiance of music, but because it was “ Bob Seger” tribute night, they had his top 5 songs playing on repeat for the whole night. We were right under a speaker so that was a little annoying, but understandable I guess. I think they could have turned the music volume down since the room had cleared out but that's just my personal preference. One last time when she brought the bill, she mentioned our larger group but thankfully she did point out that gratuity had already been added to the check because it was show night. Had she not pointed it out way may not have noticed. All in all great food but wow! The attitude!“

“My Dad is currently in the hospital battling sepsis. We’ve had a difficult time getting him to eat. He asked for lamb chops, so my husband searched until he found Filippa’s. After hearing our story, they made his lamb chops special for him before they were technically even open. Outstanding customer service, and delicious food! We cannot thank them enough ☺️“

“They have the best pizza, I just had carne with feta cheese from sheep's milk. it was amazing.“

“I recommend going to see Stephanie. She was more than attentive we were never in need for anything! She gives a new meaning to service with a smile. My wife and I have been back many times just for her good cheer she seems to pass on to all around her! 5 stars for Stephanie and Como’s for having such a great staff!“

“If you want real authentic Italian food; subs, pasta, salads, deserts, and much more, you need to go here. "It's in there and it's very good." Christopher Okano AKA Dr. O , Bay City, Michigan.“

“Great server great good. Love this place“

“Absolutely amazing..so much food for the price.we were full before we received the entrees.the salad is one of a kind.great atmosphere and the waitress Rebecca was so exceptional and sweet we will be back .I highly recommend this location!!!“

“Went here for about three hours on my first visit to Detroit with my fiancé. She grew up on this place. I have traveled the world and believe this is the best pizza I have ever had. Also, their sandwiches are incredible Ashleigh the bartender was so cool and fun to interact with as were the rest of the patrons that were there.

Can’t wait to visit again. Will be a “must” meal next time I am in Detroit.“

“Great staff and great food. Best pizza and subs around! Highly recommend this store…“

“Best pizza in the macomb county.“

“The atmosphere was very nice.The owner was superb. The pizza lacked flavor. Every friday, my son and I eat vegetarian pizza. It needed some spices in the sauce. I love the fact that he put a little container of black olives in the pizza for me. thoughtfulness goes a long way.“

“The Warren location had fast, hot delivery, tonight! Yum!! So excited to finally see a hometown (Toledo) staple in my neck of the woods!“

“I had the Chicken Athena tonight. Outstanding! Fresh ingredients including fresh olives, and chicken. You could pay 2-3 times more at other restaurants, and not nearly as good as Christine's. This place is a real find!“

“I order a pizza a week from Zino's and have been coming here for 8 years, so--yep--over 400 pizzas! And not a bad slice among them! Seriously good pizza made just the way you like it with great crust and generous toppings. Friendly owner and staff, as well. Highly recommended!“

“I love ❤️ it the first time!“

“Wow. This is, without question, the best pasta I have encountered in years. The seafood fettuccini is a veritable feast—a rich, luxurious dish loaded with an abundance of perfectly cooked shrimp, clams, and crab. The quality and generosity of the ingredients elevate this dish far beyond the standard offering.

Furthermore, this establishment earns high marks for its care toward dietary restrictions. My celiac guest enjoyed a gluten-free pasta option and consumed it with no ill effects, confirming that the preparation is both delicious and safe.

For anyone seeking an exceptional, authentic pasta experience—or needing reliable and tasty gluten-free accommodations—this restaurant is a must-visit.“

“I love this pizza place. The delivery is so fast. The pizza is banging. Just had some and it temporarily cured my depression. 10 out of 10.“

“Everything here is…incredible!Everytime I come here,I order hotdogs that taste amazing and food for my family.My grandpa says they’re salad is amazing and their food is magnificent and they’re very nice people.Go to your nearest Jimmy’s Coney Grill!“
