“We hosted our baby shower at D’Amato’s in December, and it was absolutely fabulous from start to finish. It’s such an amazing spot for a private, intimate event—we had around 50 guests, and the space was perfect. The entire process was seamless, the food was unbelievable, and the staff truly went above and beyond to make the day special. Everything exceeded our expectations, and our guests are still talking about how wonderful it was. I would highly recommend D’Amato’s for any special occasion!“

“On 12/27/22 my husband and I hosted a dinner for 18 to celebrate the marriage of my daughter and fiance. Everything was superb. Our server, Cindy, did a remarkable job. Couldn't have asked for anything more. The food was excellent, as well as the Sambucca.“

“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.“

“All delicious except a for very boring side salad. House dressing was great but the iceberg lettuce had six chick peas and two pieces of tomato. Step it up Tony's!“

“Nicole was our server, very attentive and fantastic providing recommendations on favored menu options. Shrimp scampi and filet bites for appetizers - Delicious! Dinner salads were even yummy, crisp, fresh vegetables and the dressing was so good! We all enjoyed different meals, eggplant parm, lemon dill salmon, chicken parm, and pasta pesto. We thoroughly enjoyed our dinners, ate too much, and recommend this restaurant AND server to anyone looking for a great place!“

“Wow amazing pizza and bread! Sad we’ve been passing it up this whole time.“

“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!!!“

“Our dinner was amazing! We got there kind of late and Marija still gave us amazing service. We appreciate it & will be back!“

“great restaurant, lovely accomodations“

“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!“

“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.“

“It’s been a while since I’ve been to sals since the one in flint closed but let me tell you it definitely took me right back to what I knew and loved so much about this place and our server Greg was just the icing on the cake, He super friendly, personable and just a joy to be around and added to great conversation
Thank you Greg so making our experience even better see you next time“

“Nice dining place. Great food and atmosphere.“

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

“The chicken and gnocchi soup was delicious, I'm glad that it comes with free refills. Unfortunately the restaurant was experiencing a breadstick shortage so we couldn't get breadsticks until after our entrées had arrived. My entrée of chicken alfredo with broccoli seemed like they forgot to actually put the Alfredo sauce on the noodles (see picture), so that was disappointing; however the grilled chicken slices on that entrée were good.“

“Amazing food! Best creamy Romano dressing!“

“10/10!!!!! Someone clearly enjoyed their pasta! 🥰“

“This review is long overdue.. this is definitely one of mine and my husband’s favorite places to eat. The consistency of the food and service along with the continuity of the staff says so much. Last night I reluctantly tried the steak siciliano because I was raised with my grandma cooking this and I couldn’t imagine eating someone else’s.. let me tell you, it was phenomenal! By far, our favorite menu item and we’ve eaten everything here! Please keep up your standards of food and service here, you guys do it best! Special shout out to Amanda and Anthony.. they are great!!!“

“It's been a while since our last dine in experience as we've been carrying out for a while (they do a great job of grab-and-go). However for Mitch's birthday we decided to dine-in and couldn't have enjoyed a better experience. Mitch had his fave, chicken parmigiana with Angel hair pasta and I had Chicken Olivia - my favorite with artichokes. It was served with sweet pea risotto and roasted veggies. Yum! For dessert Mitch's birthday cannoli was delish. And we added their unique 20 layer cake- that we'll have leftover cake for the rest of the week - so big!! Next visit won't be so long!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Our experience at Stella’s was simply outstanding — Kaitlyn provided some of the warmest, most attentive service we’ve ever had at a restaurant, checking in at all the right moments without ever feeling intrusive. Every dish we ordered was phenomenal: the steak bites were perfectly seared and melted in your mouth, the vodka penne pasta was rich and beautifully balanced, the chicken masala had incredible depth of flavor, and the spaghetti carbonara was silky, indulgent perfection. The only small suggestion I’d offer is to swap the table black pepper for a pepper mill so guests can enjoy fresh cracked pepper — a tiny touch that would elevate an already exceptional dining experience. We’ll absolutely be back, and we’ll be asking for Kaitlyn!“

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

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

“Took my wife for her first time Valentine day we enjoyed the show , not sure what happened with server’s we were given dessert before dinner , dinner was chicken risotto mine was under cooked so I ask could they redo it they was like sure but when it came out it was worse so no dinner for me or my wife, wofe doesn’t like to send food back but I could tell hers was too she only ate the chicken.“

“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 ☺️“

“The best Greek salad! And best pizza in Birmingham!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼“

“We ordered a huge catering order. We needed to feed 50 people, this could have fed 80 or more. We had so much leftovers for people to take home- and they loved the food. Restaurant business is tough now of days and we were so happy with our order. Pasta, chicken cutlet, cannoli, fresh bread. So good. Thank you Antonios“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“Best pizza in the macomb county.“

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

“What a great dining experience here at Belle Limone! The experience kicked off with the staff kindly suggesting where my fiancée and I should park for the best prices as we were out of town. From there, we got to walk up to the restaurant which was so authentic, aesthetic and historic. The food was to die for, every dish was full of flavour! The staff were amazing as well as our waitress was so attentive, friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend this place!“

“This is by far my favorite pizza place! Not only is Green Lantern my favorite pizza company, but this is BY FAR the best Green Lantern location. I have never had a bad experience with Green Lantern and never received food from this location that didn’t more than exceed my expectations. My go to is a round double pepperoni pizza with a toasted sub. Their subs are so good too; they have coleslaw on them which you would think wouldn’t work on a sub but they’re absolutely delicious. They even give you a pickle and a couple peppers with the sub. I get take out a lot but I love to dine in here once in a while. The atmosphere is great, pretty chill and relaxing. You even get free popcorn to snack on while you wait for your food and sip on a nice beer, a yummy cocktail, or even a good old glass of pop. They have the very best pepperonis ever!!! They get all toasty and crispy, they’re so good!!! Green Lantern truly is the king of pepperoni!!! To Green Lantern: You guys are the best! Keep doing what you’re doing!!!“

“First time here. Tried the Chicago style. Heavy! The sauce and cheese are very good. Sauce is very robust & tomatoey and the cheese blend is more flavorful than most places. The inside is small, typical of a pizza joint. Couple of chairs and tables adequate while you wait.“

“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!“

“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 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!“

“My fiancée and I had a really lovely Valentine’s dinner at Romolo. The interior was cozy, especially with the soft lighting and local art along the interior. It was lively for the holiday, but not cramped.
We started with drinks and the Fritto Misto(not pictured) which was excellent. I had the Rigatoni Lucanica for my entree. The sauce and fennel sausage had a nice heat to them from the banana peppers. It was unique compared to most Italian pasta dishes. My fiancée had the Costolette D’Angnello, which was on a whole other level. The lamb was cooked perfectly at medium rare, very tender and not gamey in the least. The polenta and greens were savory, as well.
They had a special dessert for the evening, Spumoni gelato covered in dark chocolate and pistachio crumbs. The appetizer and entree portions were generous, but we couldn’t say no to such a tempting dessert. The service was warm and attentive from all staff. We’d love to come back and try the pizza next time. Thank you for such a memorable evening!“

“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!“
