“This place is SO GOOD. The atmosphere, food, service and drinks were top tier! We will definitely be back again soon!“

“This was our 3rd time here for dinner. The first time , 2 years go was exceptional.the food, atmosphere, and service were amazing. Last year we went and there were flies swarming our table. We ordered the osso bucco which is typically veal shank. This came as 2 tiny little pork ankles not veal, and was disappointing in taste. This year, we decided to go at Christmas to see the decorations. We ordered the burrata, and they brought us the shrimp appetizer. We sent it back and the server came back with it & said that we ordered it. Which we did not, instead of a confrontation, we kept it. It was delicious, but not what we ordered. The primo dish , we ordered the ravioli to share, it was very good. For or entree, we ordered the veal chop. It was chewy as if undercooked, soggy, as if it layed in its breadcrumb coating too long. For a $47.00 vealchop, it was a complete disappointment in taste and texture .as we went there specifically for the veal chop. After 3xs, the meals got worse instead of better. Our waiter was excellent, it’s too bad., but the food has gone downhill. We are Italian and are always looking for a great Italian meal. This was not!“

“Enjoyable experience. We were welcomed immediately, a small wait (less than 10 minutes, busy but not crowded) seated and drink orders were taken.
Everything was delicious from beginning to end, salads, piping hot bread sticks, each entrée was exactly as described.
Our server, William T, was very courteous and prompt.
We look forward to returning on a future shopping date.“

“Fantastic pizza. By the slice is hot, crispy and a delicious lunch. Full pies are also very satisfying and delicious. The Sicilian is a true gem- other Sicilian pies in the area are basically wonder bread with pizza toppings, but Schiano’s is the crispy, doughy flavorful Sicilian deep dish I remember from growing up in Jersey. GREAT food, friendly owner - Schiano’s is our #1 spot when we do pizza night in NC.“

“This was my very first time eating Marcos pizza. I ordered a large half and half and a pizzola (if I’m spelling it right). The food was amazingly delicious, the service was excellent and the prices were fair. Thank you for providing such amazing service and quality food.“

“Always impressed when I get pizza from Johnny’s Pizza in Wake Forest. They never disappoint! Large pizzas, high quality, at very good prices! Staff does a great job, fast, polite and efficient. You get your money’s worth. Love the NY style pizza, and I was born in NY! Keep up the quality work Johnny! I will be back.“
