“We had the chefs tasting menu. It was phenomenal over all. However, there were two stand outs. They were the crispy sea scallop and the iberica pork. The scallop was very tender yet had deliciously crispy edges. The pork was incredible. I'm not sure if I would have identified as pork if I hadn't known what it was. Tender, yet meaty, it was truly a delight.“

“I'm from Uniondale New York, I grew up with a place called Gino's pizza, it was a mom and pop pizzeria ran by an old Italian couple. Gino's pizza is the standard that I hold all other pizza to. So finding amazing pizza, that harkens back to the amazing cheese and tomato sauce that Ginos had is difficult.This brings us to Magones. I got a large cheese pizza from them (been a customer for years but never got the pizza) and I'm not kidding, the cheese and tomato sauce was so reminiscent of Gino's pizza I almost got a tear in my eye. Amazingly good pizza. The only other pizza that comes close is Randy's and I find they don't use enough/good enough tomato sauce for their Pies.I don't know about the low reviews but I'm telling you, as a new yorker pizza snob, this place is the real deal when it comes to classic thin crust pizza. Also has amazing Italian meatballs, something else that is hard to find good in the south.“

“My boyfriend and I have had 2 great experiences here. To me, Saturday mornings are perfect for their blueberry pancakes with a side of really high-quality bacon. It's so good and the only thing I've gotten. The first time we went, he got the shrimp and grits, which was really good. The grit cake is a nice touch and probably keeps them from having to make a pot of grits. Cheers for efficiency. The second time we went, he got the New Orleans egg souffle (I can't remember the exact name). He said it was bland but still pretty solid. One star off because our first visit was riddled with slow service and the bland dish on the second visit. The drinks were solid, the coffee was hot, and we hope to be back again and again.“

“I love this restaurant!! It’s awesome that they have such healthy options like whole wheat pasta (which you can sub for the regular white stuff) and the basil pasta dish that’s overflowing with veggies. The salads and gnocchi are also awesome. It’s also amazing you can get delivery, for a cozy night in. Thanks for your great food and service!“

“I love this place. Out of all the Franklin St "legends," IP3 lives up to the hype. The food is terrific, and the staff is fantastic. I'm new to the area but have already been here 4 times at lunch and dinner, and it's always great. Some buddies and I watched Champions League soccer here, and it draws a great crowd.Also, during a hectic dinner rush, I saw one employee volunteer to take an order to a customer who was drinking at a bar next door. I have NEVER seen something like that at a place that busy.Go to IP3!“

“Stopped here for lunch, on a Tuesday around 11:15am. Place opened at 11 so it wasn’t crowded.I ordered a slice of Pepperoni Pizza ? and a canned coke, to go.Guy ringing me up was very pleasant, so I left a small tip in the tip jar. Went back to my car then parked to eat.That was one of the best Pizza slices I’ve had! The crust was excellent, the right amount of sauce, the cheese was so gooey and the pepperoni was perfectly seasoned. I did add some hot pepper flakes and some Parmesan cheese but it was so good! The picture is deceiving.And it was only $5 something!Will definitely order a large pizza next time I crave some pizza to take home.“Pizza davvero deliziosa!”“

“So I’ve been here before and only had their Carolina Pasta and Spaghetti and Meatballs, which were good. That being said, here recently I tried their pizza and it was absolutely delicious! I am hooked now and becoming a regular! I would definitely recommend the bbq chicken pizza and their primavera pizza is also delicious. The crust is amazing with the perfect crisp! The pizza sauce they use is equally amazing! Perfect pairing and looking forward to trying all their variety of pizza’s!?“
