“I went for the Saturday brunch and had the seafood omelette which was a disappointment because of the imitation crab meat which overpowered everything else in it. The potatoes were great. I’ve been there for dinner many times and everything was always delicious.“

“This place never fails to impress and satisfy. Things don't go perfect anywhere but the difference is that they correct those things with a different integrity. My Stromboli was left behind during pickup right before closing time. They dropped it off at my house just as fresh as if it was never left behind.

“A mystery. Outstanding ambiance, looks and feels like nice casual cafes we ate at in Milan and Tuscany. Once inside can't believe it's in an outdoor mall in NC. Friendly service. Chicken marsala with mushrooms as good as it gets. Hearts of palm salad not on many menus but was delightful. The customers seemed to be enjoying a relaxed, quality dining experience without the pretense of a fancy place or buzz of a large busy place. The mystery-why was it only half full on a Friday night?“

“Great Food, Fair prices and good customer service“

“I just happened on this place a couple of weeks ago. It's my new favorite restaurant! True authentic Italian food❤️ I've been looking for this place! I will be a regular😁“

“buy 1 take 1 for half off“

“Great food, great service, but if you’re a larger party and are seated in the enclosed patio area, take heed that it will be extremely uncomfortable with the summer heat. They only have a couple of small portable fans that are absolutely inadequate for the total space, and the ceiling fans (supposedly set to the incorrect direction) didn’t help much. Even the dining room wasn’t much better. I know it’s been hot, but if the customer is uncomfortable I can only imagine the staff.“

“My husband and I attended a cooking class at Desarno’s tonight and had a fantastic experience! The atmosphere was welcoming, and Kit & Karen are both knowledgeable and engaging. We made delicious, authentic Italian dishes using fresh, high-quality ingredients. Guido Lombardi, owner of Impero Wine Distributors, was also present, suggesting and sharing wines that perfectly complemented the dishes we prepared. It added a wonderful touch to the evening. The market itself has an amazing selection of take and bake options, perfect for a gourmet meal at home. Whether you're looking to improve your cooking skills or just enjoy a fun evening, I highly recommend their classes. We’ll definitely be returning for more!“

“Exactly what you want from a strip mall Italian restaurant. Great service and atmosphere, good food, not too expensive.

The menu isn't too extensive, they stick to the classics. I had a calzone and it was tasty, nothing to write home about just a good meal for a good price. The patio is nice, the trees form enough of a barrier between you and the road so it feels like sitting in a shady little courtyard. The flowers in little planters hanging on the plastic fence are real. The dining room is typical discount Olive Garden style, cozy and clean. My server Zachary was very friendly, polite, and attentive, and the hostess was also polite and professional. Rossini's gives nostalgia of going out with your family after church.“

“My husband and I have been going to Marios/John’s place for over 30 years and have never had a bad meal. John has done an excellent job from his managers to wait staff and to the wonderful tasting food. I recently had a private party there and every person raved about the food and the hospitality of the restaurant. I cannot thank John enough for making everything perfect. You are definitely missing out if you don’t go there and have a wonderful dinner.“

“It’s the best restaurant in Charlotte.“

“I posted before that we would not eat in here because of a waitress named Lana. She couldn't keep her hands off my husband. With that being said. We went to place a order to go tonight. We noticed no Lana. (Made my day). Our waitress was Donna which is the sister of our favorite bartender, Marsha. Who no longer works there. Bad bad loss for them. Donna did an amazing job. The young guy behind the bar did a so so job.“

“We’ve been picking up from Sal’s several times the past couple of months. We drive around 20-25 minutes. The Stromboli and selection of pizzas are worth it. We lived in Philadelphia and had lots of great pizza places there…this is as close to great northern pizza around the area and we’ve been here 32 years.“

“Ordered various dishes and have never been disappointed“

“I gave it a 4 over all because my daughter ordered a pizza off the kids menu and they didn't have any pizza on a Tuesday during the lunch hour. This is fall break for most schools. But in all the food we all ordered was great and service was also ok.“

“Negroni to start, little gem Caesar salad, scallops with corn risotto, espresso martini to finish…..ALL perfect Including the service. I look forward to returning.Thank you for a wonderful dinner!“

“Alfredo spinach pizza great BUT they still charge for chicken when I requested no chicken. So I had to pay more for the dead ingredient that makes it expensive being a vegetarian. Boo-hiss!! Excuse: "No option on computer to deduct chicken" Lame, lame, lame!!!“

“While the food is fantastic, the people who own and manage this place are what keeps us coming back. The staff is ultra attentive to customers. I come in with my two toddlers frequently, and the staff is always asking how they can make things easier. Wonderful people all around, complementing the great food.“

“Best Pizza in the Charlotte area!! The Buffalo and Hawaiian slices are always on point and they have good beer on tap or in cans. The garlic knots are yummy too!

Brooklyn Pizza makes better pizza than all but one of the pizza places in my hometown of Kingston, NY - and it ties the best place in Kingston.

One of my overall favorite restaurants in the Charlotte area.“

“best pizza in town and the BIGGEST!“

“Best part of this place is the staff. Very friendly, ask to make sure the order is right, and are hard workers. The menu has plenty of options with great appetizers with some of the best mozzarella sticks I have ever had. The the potion sizes make it so that you are getting the best value for your dollar. Just a really good place to get a meal.“
