“I moved to Michigan from Philadelphia and this pizza is hands down the best in the Kalamazoo area and the closest I have found to true East coast style crust and sauce. AMAZING! Love the specialty pies as well, barbeque in particular. Also the garlic knots are my favorite!“

“A very under recognized eatery in Portage. Small but cozy, tucked away in the plaza across from Wedel’s Garden center. A wonderful aroma greets you as enter. Delicious sandwiches, homemade ingredients, hearty portions, friendly staff. Worth a trip over from anywhere in the Kzoo/Portage area. Give them a try.“

“I was soooo blessed to be able to return to this loong-time family fav. I returned to MI from FL for a marriage ! My family has been enjoying LaCantina since the early 1960s ... when to m 8-yr old eyes the stern Emo (?) guarded the cash register; yet the food was soo exotic I was enamored by the exotic spices, especially something called Fennel - NOT what my mom a Betty Crocker fan would use... I recalled then, and now, always caring warm alert service....Recently dinned there ! QUALITY just the same as I remember.. and the 'romantic' view of the 'falls' and the outside mostly vine covered outdoor dinning..... I bought 6 bottles of its almost-famous wine vinegar !! (Hope it figures out a way to sell this wholesale !!) ' Gawd ' how I hope (pray?) the 4th generation keeps GOOD traditions, and CARINGNESS alive!!“

“I love this place and eat here a minimum of once a week. I've been getting food from here for 6-7 years. Everything I've had is amazing! Pizza, grinders, wraps, salads just excellent food! My fave! The location is so convenient!!! It's the only restaurant on my way home from work.“
