“Bella Maria's could not have been better. Our guests raved about the food. We were offsite and Teddy cooked our meal. The parmesan encrusted chicken breast was tender and juicy. Every dish was great. Staff was super friendly and quickly fixed a tablecloth issue caused by a supplier. These guys are true professionals. Thank You Alyssa, Teddy and all the Bella Maria staff.“

“Absolutely amazing! The interior of this place is royal and gives a great speakeasy vibe. It was super busy and a bit noisy on a Saturday night.The food was amazing, and the service was good too! I'd recommend this place for sure, get a reservation beforehand to avoid the wait. I parked on the street, but it was safe to do so.“

“Great food and service. Real Italian!!! But they ran out of several items including their daily special. Cosey small but loud. Food and service outweigh physical plant. I was there to eat and talk with friends. I'll go again for sure.“

“Had a great experience. Food was delicious and done Ina timely manner. They brought the appetizers and my 3 year old sons food out very fast. My wife ordered a specialty pizza and loved it. I ordered the BBQ chicken and had almost an entire meal left after eating. Will definitely be going back.Kid-friendliness: Had coloring crayons and paper for the kids to color“

“The service here was great!!! All three guys were very helpful in helping me choose which dish I was going to order. Today was my first time dining here and I have to say I’m impressed ? I ordered the God Father (I love giving employee favorites a try) and boy was it delicious ?. This place is truly a hidden gem of Grand Haven and I’m so glad that I found it.“

“Ordered a couple large pizzas to go. 10/10. Wouldn't change anything. Thin and crispy, but firm crust. Great ratio of premium toppings. Perfect ratio of sauce. The pizzas were obviously designed with quality in mind. I genuinely would not change anything. Great job Two Tony's.“

“Normally go during lunch or early dinner time. Never have a bad time at this Olive Garden. The last time we were treated to a little bit of magic from our server. The managers during the day are great. The food is delicious. Starting with the salad and breadsticks all the way through dessert. Always clean and neat. The staff is “

“Wonderful family owned pizza place. They keep a simple menu with only pizza and drinks. Always busy!!This place is truly unique with a warm inviting atmosphere. People come from all over to eat at Fricanos. Prices haven’t gone up much either. I’ve never been to another family owned pizza place like it. The pizza recipe has its own unique taste and texture. I love that it hasn’t changed or update. Truly a stop in time.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free pizza crust“

“Ordered online for pick up right at opening time on a Wednesday. Order was ready when we got there. The poor guy checking us out was the only person working and had a lot of orders to fill and was doing a good job of keeping up while taking care of us. We are from out of town and would recommend it. We took our pizza to a local park to eat and take in the scenery.“

“Jets jets jets.... J. E. T. S. Jets jets jets!!!First off it's a chain.... But I'd say the better one in the area.... The peetz is delicious!!!!! Mmm mmm mmmm!They're relatively fast to get orders done.... The people working, it's hit or miss, but for the most part it's been all good....And the best part, they send out coupons galore! Goodness, find the nearest trash can and I guarantee you'll find some Jets coupons in there. They also have online ordering, this will also save you some dollars. And I'm telling you the peetz is delicious!!!! Mmmm mmmm mmmm!“

“We have gone many times to this place. Majority of the time the food and service rank 5 stars. This rating is during the fall and winter time, indoors. Service and quality of food go down to a 3.5 - 4 during summer months. The wait, staff interaction and attention to the execution of food go down in my experience. But still this is a worthy establishment to spend time and money at. Just lower expectations, during summer times... the view and the drinks are worth it. Also if you go with a larger party you probably wont all get your food together the kitchen and pizza chefs struggle with being in sync.Kid-friendliness: They have a kids menu and there was a Magician there that which was a nice treat.Wheelchair accessibility: Once inside restaurant has nice inside flow, to get to restroom and there is a nice large stall in the ladies room. I cannot speak for the mens though.“

“Stopped in for dinner with my 2 kids tonight. The two girls working the front counter and the floor were so patient and polite and kind. Especially with my kids. So refreshing with how friendly they were. Wish I would've got their names, so coming here instead. I was truly blown away by their service tonight! Thank you so much!“

“We had our son and future daughter in laws rehearsal dinner here last Friday. The service, food, drinks and entire staff were absolutely outstanding. We could not have asked for a better evening. We truly felt like we were in a Hallmark movie. Thank you again and again for creating an evening of amazing memories. ♥️“
