The parmesean cheese wheel is back!!!! You must try the Alfredo dish if you haven't before. Great service, great wine, and great food. Highly recommend.“

“I’ve visited this location a few times in the past month after not been to an Olive Garden in years. Both dining experiences here I’ve had incredible service … better than some places we’ve spent 200+ dollars at for a “fine” dining experience. Food is tasty & consistent. All of the staff were friendly & professional and the whole restaurant was spotless. Way to go OG!!“

“I had a wedding rehersal dinner that exceeded expectations. Hailee our hostess was the best ever at making guest feel at home. It set the tone for the weekend. Guest were treated to a 5 course plated dinner menu. If you live in the Grand Rapids, MI area, make this a stop for true italian cuisine. Thank you Hailee and Molly for making our dinner experience so pleasurable.“

“My husband and I came here for my 28th birthday and had such an amazing experience! Our waiter was very kind, the food was outstanding, and the atmosphere was amazing. We had calamari as our starter and I had the mushroom ravioli and my husband had the steak and we loved all of it! For dessert we ordered a s’mores dessert and were pleasantly surprised! I heard they have a speak easy type of lounge downstairs which is unfortunately closed on Mondays which was the day we went. But I’ll definitely be going back go see it!“

“Was a little wait, But it was to be expected. A nice day, on a Friday afternoon. waiter was nice kind friendly and very knowledgeable. Very sociable, but not in unprofessional mano. Understanding that he was working to be working. Not like so many younger people today.“

“The best Italian food in West Michigan, and at a great price. Love this place.“

“Five stars! We ended a week of camping with a vehicle delay on our way home and stopped for lunch at Big Bob’s while my husband took the truck to get fixed. First of all, the food was amazing (our son said the deep dish was better than Giordano’s). But more importantly, Rob and his staff took were beyond hospitable to our 3 kids and I as we spent the next 5 hours utilizing their Uno cards, Connect Four and enjoying their complementary popcorn. If you’re ever in the Grand Rapids area we highly recommend giving them a try. We’ll definitely be back next time we come through Grand Rapids.“

“What a wonderful gem 💎 this pizzeria is, the food is amazingly delicious and the portions were more than generous. The customer service is what the restaurant industry should strive for, we went into the place as strangers and left like we were part of the famiglia. #Gino gratzi Amicci! We can't wait to comeback and enjoy your food and your kind ways.“

“Food was so delicious! We had two different pizzas and two pastas among our table. No complaints anywhere. The house made sausage is to die for. Highly recommend!! We’ll definitely be back!“

“Very good pizza!!!! Quick service“

“It's been over a decade since I've had a happy dog. I had one today and it was just as good as I remembered. 🔥“

“We order Jets very regularly at our office. So about 15 minutes ago I ordered tomorrow’s office lunch from Jet's Pizza Forest Hills location. About 14 minutes ago, I got a call from a GR number and ignored it .... because ROBO CALLS all the time..... I got a voicemail from James @ Jet’s trying to determine if my order was for tonight (since I forgot to change delivery time to tomorrow 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️) or for tomorrow. In his voicemail he mentioned that since we usually order on Mondays, he’s going to assume it’s for tomorrow unless I call back. How many companies would go through that trouble??? Or even remember their regular clients?? I’m impressed. 👏🏼👏🏼“

“Excellent Jets location with friendly and fast service. We go here at least once a month and it's always great pizza; perfectly baked and good on the toppings. Tonight we got light sauce on half the pizza and they were kind enough to write on the box which side was which! My favorite local pizza.“

“We had an awesome time watching football and eating great food at Florentines. You have a good view no matter where you sit. Our waitress, Ashanti, really knew the menu well and made specific recommendations for us. We will be back!“

“Had lunch today. Our server was very sweet and very good. We ordered the lasagna and seafood Alfredo. Wonderful on all accounts. Left with leftovers. Nowadays it's hard to find a meal that tastes like your mother made it. Huge compliments to the chef!! You are missing out if you haven't stopped into this gem. Subs looked amazing (as we eyeballed another tables order)!! Thumbs up! Be back soon? Thankyou Salvatore's.“

“Great pizza at a great price.

I am always happy that my online order is hot and ready when I am told with zero issues. I will drive farther to this place because they make the process of ordering, paying, and pick-up seamless.“

“Their New York style pizza crust was a pretty good take on NY pizza, but the rest of the pie was not NY. I am not from NY but have spent my share of time on nybpizza quests in all 5 boros. This pie way too much of the mozzarella they brag about that was loaded on a sauce that has ZERO to do with the basil/ fennel sweetness of a NY pie. To serve a NY pie, you can't use a detroit sauce and it is essential to use a blend of cheeses instead of overdoing the mozzarella to the point of being the rubbery schmotz we received. Place was clean, phone order was efficient and our pies were ready when we arrived. As for detroit style pizza?... it's not my thing. In a pinch I would go to a jets again for cleanliness, service, and great attitude... but the food is not my fave“

“A wonderful and excellent experience. Delicious food and the attention from our waiter Garrett it was extraordinary!“

“Our baseball team enjoyed the VERY large and delicious 24” pizza last evening for a Christmas surprise. Delivered, on time, and tasted great! Thanks.“

“Great Detroit style Pizza!“

“Best slices in GR and great service as well in my experience. I have loved pizza my whole life and am originally from Chicago. So my expectations are high. But skip Vito's and come here for slice and get a drink while you're at it.“

“Great food and great staff good vibes all around never a bad time at cbj“

“Great food and great service!“

“My husband took me out for what he still calls date night after 30 yrs. of marriage. He and I are both foodies and love going on adventures for restaurants that go a step above in both food taste, presentation, atmosphere and service. And I'm here to tell you that Alfanos hit all of these with flying colors. Cody and Alex were our bartenders/servers. They were excellent. I had the Chicken picata and it was off the chart with flavor and presentation not to mention a healthy serving. Delicious is all I kept saying. Compliments to the chef!!!!! My goodness I can't wait to go and try something else. My husband had the chicken parmesan dinner and too was very pleased. Thank you very much to our servers and the Alfanos for a wonderful date nite and dining experience 😊 we will definitely be back.“

“Tried Vito’s for the first time last night. It was the best pizza I ever had. Generous toppings, lots of cheese on the bread sticks, cinnamon balls were amazing. Definitely my new GoTo for pizza.“
