“It use to be be a favorite restaurant. After the renovations it has changed. I am stating from a top notch restaurant now everything has changed. Quality, wait staff, noise level. Everything was wrong when we went there. I know they have to factor cost and profit and this is what was best. Not for us, won’t be back“

“This place is amazing!! It is so close to my house but only go there once in awhile because i have to keep my girlish figure lol. That place is too good to be true, its like walking into italy..they have everything..candy, drinks, frozen pizzas, raviolis and so much more on top of hand crafted subs, pizzas and the most amazing cheese bread I've ever had in my whole life!! They even have awesome refrigerated prepared lunches and so many other things..the selection is endless!! Check them out..you wont be disappointed!!“

“I always have a great experience at the GP location. The staff is consistently friendly, welcoming, and recognizes me when I come in, which makes every visit feel personal. The food is always fresh and prepared well. I've visited other locations, but this one consistently stands out for its excellent customer service and quality. It's definitely my favorite location!“

“Ferlitos is TOO NOTCH!! Chef Mowen has taken his culinary skills and turned it into delicious eats the entire family will love. Affordable, fast and local- doesn’t get any better. 10/10 would recommend!“

“Our first time ordering here and we weren't disappointed. Just some Texas-folks getting to try some authentic Detroit Deep Dish Pizza. Had 3 pizzas order and ready in 15 mins. Efficient, Quick, and the quality was superb. Keep them in mind on your next pizza order!!“

“Everything was good. It was our first time there.. I don’t appreciate the fact that they write in the tip without telling you .I had to go back because I double tipped and nobody said anything . They let me do it without saying a word.. they should tell you that they’re adding the tip in before you pay the bill. I didn’t realize what I did until I got to my car. I had to go back and straighten it out at the restaurant. I have four kids under the age of five. It wasn’t easy for me to do this. When you’re at the table with four kids and you’re trying to pay the bill, you don’t have time to look at it to see that the tip was added in. I gave the Service five stars because I think it was good Service. I just don’t like the idea of that she knew that all this was going on ,and didn’t remind me they had already put the 20% in .“

“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‼️“

“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.“

“Couple weeks ago was my first time eating there. Wow was it amazing. I was stuffing myself. It tasted so good.
Came back today pretty much got the same thing. Chicken parm both times.Today the chicken wasn’t right. The top half of the chicken breast was grizzly the bottom half wasn’t grizzly, but it was hard to cut.
Third time is the charm, we will see !!!“

“The cleanest Restaurant you will ever find. Service top notch. Food is excellent and always so fresh. Soups are made daily with homemade recipes/fantastic selections.“

“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!“

“Looking forward to the next menu!“

“Thank you for the amazing service and top-notch food! What an amazing hidden gem! My daughter and son-in-law's beautiful wedding reception was everything we could have asked for and more!!!“

“amazing time and service“

“I ordered takeout of the radiatori with shredded braised beef, mushrooms, and blush sauce, and it was truly exceptional—easily the most delicious pasta dish I have ever had!“

“The chicken piccante is the absolute best!!! Amazing food, as always!“

“Such a lovely dining experience! My lady and I were celebrating our first Sweetest Day together and she suggested this wonderful restaurant. The service was great! Kayla (sp?) was very cheerful and very helpful, yet not intrusive. She added to the overall good spirits of the evening.
The food was outstandingly delicious, from the salad to the entrees. We could not stop raving about the sauces (she had a chicken dish and I had salmon). The desserts were amazing. She had the most excellent Alinosi Spumoni and I had Profiterole, which was obscenely delicious!
Six stars out of five!“

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

“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.“

“Just celebrated our 10th Anniversary...and didn't even think twice about where we would go..somehow you continue to outdue yourselves each and every time . John, Debbie and crew..thank's for making our experience perfect!“

“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..“

“Went to Ciao last night for a birthday/Valentines Day dinner. They had a set menu for the night. Every single thing we ate was beyond delicious!! The plates were so pretty to look at and even better to taste. So much love went into each plate! The Gorgonzola gnocchi melted in your mouth. The meat (on the short ribs) fell right off the bone…don’t even get me started on the cheesecake and chocolate creme brûlée!!! 😍 Mia, our server went above and made the night so much better. Definitely worth every penny!!“

“best home made food in town ;)“

“The last time I dined at The Cook’s Shop was 30 years ago; 1996, when I graduated college.

We went with some friends, made a reservation, and drives at 5:30pm on September 4th for our plans.

The young man who seated us, Carlos Jr., was super pleasant and chatted with us. Next up was our server Ian, who had previously worked in the kitchen for 3 years, so understood the menu and was able to recommend things.

We started with the fresh bread, hot from the oven, and upgraded to bruschetta. It was delicious.

The next course was The Cook’s Shop salad, which is essentially a caesar salad without the bacon. Again, scrumptious. They offer fresh grated Parmesan on top too, which makes it extra decadent.

For our meals, 3 of us opted for the Beef Stroganoff. When I say this was one of the best meals I’ve ever had, I mean it. The gravy was the perfect texture and consistency, the beef was tender, and the noodles al dente. Impeccable. Our other companion chose the lasagna, and he said it was fantastic.

Although we couldn’t finish our meals (the ladies, at least), we decided on homemade tiramisu for dessert. It was perfect. Just the right amount of sweetness.

I was so impressed that I asked if we could come back for my 50th birthday in 3 months (ugh 😔).

Highly recommend, do not sleep on this restaurant!!!“

“I have to say, my family and I were first time customers to Little Italy Roseville and it was outstanding! Not just the food, but the service as well! There is such a variety on the menu to choose from -- I wanted a little bit of everything.😅 AJ was extremely helpful, approachable, and he even brought out the pizza to my car for me.

10/10 definitely going back and would recommend to any pizza lovers out there. Oh, and the wings?!? Phenomenal -- I'm not even a bone-in kind of guy, but these BBQ wings were the bees knees!“

“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.“

“Unbelievably delicious 😋!
Sandwich so good...we came back 3x before the end this month.
Service has been awesome.
The nicest & hardest working young lady, the owner, I have met.
No need to cook...go grab a delicious Italian Beef sandwich with or with out the fixings and get it dipped!!
You won't be disappointed...
Enjoy!!“

“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.“

“If you want really good authentic Italian food soup pizza sandwiches I’m telling you this is the place. It’s amazing Dan Bianchi.“

“Always delicious food and great service. The frozen ravioli is always a hit and makes for a quick easy dinner on a busy night.“

“Never a disappointment! Have been going there since they opened! ❤️❤️“

“The food, service and atmosphere are all amazing!“

“Been here several times over the last couple of years, it feels like the best place locally to get fresh pasta in GP, especially in the Village/Hill. The food is fresh, flavorful, unique, cooked perfectly, everything you'd expect and want for the cost. They do have a good happy hour that's changed around a few times, it used to be better for drinks and they are ending it earlier at 5pm but it's worth checking out. It can be difficult to get service when it's busy and you're sitting at the bar, plus on a couple of occasions I've seen people get loud and out of hand without any intervention by the management.“

“Our favorite neighborhood bistro“

“Brian, the owner, is an absolute lifesaver! My girlfriend and I ran out of gas and Brian was kind enough to pull over and help make sure that we got gas and were safe. We cannot wait to check out his restaurant in the near future! Thank you again for helping us!“

“Stopped in for lunch. Being a conisseaur of French onion soup, of course I ordered it. Hands down one of the BEST I have had! my mom ordered the lemon chicken and I ordered Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo. Both were excellent dishes and packed with home made flavor. I will for sure be going back to try more dishes and for more French onion!!“

“I miss the city chicken on Thursday I was a crossing guard for Clintondale schools and that was our hangout on payday. Now I live in the UP. I hope to stop by the next time I come home“

“Best pizza ever, crunchy, juicy and tasty“

“We just ate there and the food was sublime... the service provided by Rico was excellent and we enjoyed every bit of the experience. 10 out of 10“

“We ordered the chicken parm it was good. A lot of food the penne was very nice I would have them put just a little more sauce on the penne. We had so much for left overs will order from them again.“

“Had bridal dinner for my friend,May 20/22. Excellent food and service. I can’t thank enough . Staff so friendly the dinner experience was A+. The manager Mateo you doing awesome job !! And everyone who served us that day, THANK YOU!! It was part of 13people.“
