Great food met with the upmost amazing service by Andre and Chris both have amazing personalities that made the night personable and just over all wonderful, pasta was fresh and everything was just amazing. can’t wait to go back! 10/10 !“

“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!“

“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!“

“service was great attitude was good not a long wait“

“just the vibe the food is the icing on the cake“

“I hadn't been here in a few years but wanted some great pizza for my birthday and of course Mootz didn't disappoint! We got Beast of Burden and Bee Sting and both were delicious. The meatballs are my favorite thing on the menu. Our server, Nyla, was phenomenal - so sweet and kind and happy, and gave us great recommendations.“

“Great experience. Kimberly went above and beyond. Will definitely return.“

“GRACE is an amazing server, great at suggestions she is personable and delightful. The food was everything her recommendations on food and beverages did not miss‼️“

“We planned on trying a few other pasta spots for Valentine’s Day, but everything was booked solid. Ended up giving the new kid on the block, Oak & Reel, a shot—and I’m glad we did. The veal-stuffed ravioli was unreal. Do yourself a favor and save room for dessert—it’s non-negotiable. And the Banana Run cocktail? Dangerously good.“

“I like to thank the staff at Andiamo especially Thelma who was our server.. Also, thank you Mike for stopping by to see if everything was good. Im glad that we had chosen that location to celebrate Rosalyn birthday“

“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!“

“Amazing food! Staff is incredibly attentive and present to explain each dish! Minimalist and calming environment to enjoy a nice dinner without being overwhelmed as you might in a large restaurant.“

“Food was amazing and staff was incredible“

“I honestly don't know why it has taken me so long to write a review for Alpino because my husband and I love this place so much! It has become my restaurant of choice to celebrate my birthday for many reasons. I love that they keep the beautiful patio open even during the hottest of days (which is usually what it is for my July birthday), they have the best seasonal menu additions that use local ingredients, and their laid back yet elegant charm is exactly what we always look for. The food is amazing! We love unfussy food that lets the quality ingredients shine and the raclette with a touch of honey just makes me grin from ear to ear (not to mention the tomato soup that is out of this world). The Frulingzauber "spring magic" cocktail is my favorite of all time. I would drink one every day for the rest of my life if I could. Of course, none of this would matter if the people weren't wonderful at Alpino, but they are just as warm and inviting as the food. I loved that they all signed a birthday card for me when we were there last. This is definitely a gem of a place that you don't find everywhere.“

“Amazing, 5 stars all around !“

“excellent from day one! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

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

“It was like being in Rome or Palermo, very good!“

“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.“

“Happy Hour !! Good and plentiful @ $7“

“10/10 would recommend Giuliano’s. My 1st time there this evening & will definitely order again. Service was great, food was even better! 🇮🇹“

“The staff is very good. Friendly fast and accurate. The owners are Theo Deanna and Paul. They are there to help you get the most amazing dinning experience. If ever you need something to supplement your meal just let the waitress know and you will be amazed by the service.“

“Nice dining place. Great food and atmosphere.“

“My husband and I found this cozy spot last weekend. A sweet, friendly atmosphere where they make you feel right at home. (So much so we went back for a drink before they closed) The food was delicious, service lovely and the drinks fabulous.“

“1st time coming here. wish I would have known about this place before now.. So glad seen it on a TikTok video. We will definitely be back again . Chicken Parm and House salad was very good . only issue we had was found out after they had a Specials Sheet and we never seen it or was told about . my wife would have definitely had the fish Special 😔.. but next time will make sure we ask I guess to make sure we see it..“

“Ordered pizza for pickup while staying across the street at Holiday Inn Express. Although the toppings were plentiful and delicious, the crust was undercooked & a little doughy! Plus, it was on a sheet of parchment/wax paper that was completely stuck to the crust & impossible to peel off! Unfortunately, these 2 details turned what should have been an enjoyable night into a messy and frustrating experience!“

“Best steaks in town sure gonna miss it“

“Tonight I attended a wedding at C & G and could not be more impressed, and also pissed at myself for not patronizing this welcoming restaurant sooner. I’m lactose intolerant and allergic to chicken. The staff was incredibly accommodating and gracious. This is not often a feeling I receive when bringing up food allergies. The food & drinks were so incredibly tasty and the views were unreal. The Train station, spires of St Anne’s and the Ambassador Bridge all in one shot. Turn to the left and you have the beautifully landscaped Roosevelt park to stroll through after enjoying the back porch. I’m so blown away, and so happy my friend finally got me here! Thank you for a dreamy night.“

“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!“

“Oh MAN Rocco's is the place I have searched for in vain until last year when I tried them for the first time. Since that first meatball sub I have had almost every sandwich on the menu and so far not one has disappointed! Today I had the Corner Deli and was transported to Italian paradiso! In case you non-Italians did not know, ciabatta is the Italian baguette and Rocco's bakes many fresh loaves several times per day! Usually it is still warm from the oven even if you get a cold sandwich! There is no better sandwich bread in my progenic-Italian opinion! They are in Midtown on Cass just East of Mack. Try them if you have yet to do so. You will thank the gods!“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“We loved everything about our visit! The food, the service, the ambiance!“

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

“New menu was amazing. We had the potatoes, the scallops, burrata, and mushroom with shiitake dish. Burrata was hands down my favorite, thing. Perfect combination!! Highly recommend everything I got and the service was perfect, I mean like I finished my water and by the time my glass hit the table it was refilled. This was actually my second time, I’ve been before for a friends birthday and we had a different menu…..the pomegranate ribs were mouthwatering delicious. Not to mention the atmosphere inside, I personally love plants and that’s the first thing you notice when you walk in the door. Check it out for yourself, you won’t be disappointed!!“

“My family and I had a lovely dinner here! Our server, SJ, was wonderful! The food was incredible! To start, the bread basket was delicious. I had the Spicy Rigatoni Polomino and it was very flavorful! I also had one of their specials, the zucchini soup, and it was great! I was very impressed with the little things such as filling our water glasses often, to wiping the crumbs off our table in between apps and the entrees. I would definitely recommend this restaurant, I loved it!“

“Great food! Fast service. The cheesy bread was delicious“

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

“The girl at the register is very nice and pleasant on the phone. The pizza was fantastic but the menu online needs to be updated. Every pizza on the list increased 35-45% in price which equates to $6-7 extra per pizza. The large cheese pizza is $19 not $13 the pepperoni is $22 not $15.“

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

“Best pizza ever, crunchy, juicy and tasty“

“We had a lovely dinner this evening at your restaurant. We are currently looking for a home close to downtown Birmingham and you better believe we will be there often!

Fantastic service with Meghan tonight
And Lara is an absolute pleasure“

“We celebrated my brother in law's 90th birthday yesterday with a celebration at Cariera's. In addition to the excellent food...a charcuterie board with a selection of cheeses and fresh fruit, salad, lasagna and chicken marsala, the service was wonderful and the ambiance and music felt like we were somewhere in Tuscany!
Thank you, Mary for helping us plan our party. We'll be back for dinner!“
