“We had a great birthday lunch for my wife. The atmosphere was welcoming. The food was very good as well as exceptional mixed drinks! All staff were accommodating and helpful. They even threw in a dessert for my wife at the end. Definitely will be back.“

“The food was very good. I was a bit surprised that they don't grate fresh cheese here (and instead provide a shaker) since even Olive Garden does that. Also, the potstickers come in orders of four, which seemed stingy. Service was a bit lackluster. Our server had an attitude in particular; she left us hanging twice and muttered things under her breath walking past our table. And they were out of the dessert special that they offered us.

The food outweighed the lackluster service. Would recommend.“

“I haven’t had authentic Italian food in too long. Our salad dressing was to die die! The zucchini appetizer was divine and the dipping sauces perfect. Our main courses were perfect and to top it all of there was warm bread and olive oil with herbs to dip it in. Highly recommend!“

“We stopped for dinner while going through town. Our server, Alexis, was amazing. We had the absolute best shrimp alfredo we’ve ever had. We got to speak to the owner before we left. He was so personable and explained how they make their products all fresh. We will definitely be back!“

“Consistent. Friendly. Good food“

“We LOVE celebrating special occasions at VGPC! AYCE is the way to go for our family of 6! Not only can you really sample the whole menu, you can even take your leftover pizza home with you! Truly the best high quality ingredients. AMAZING sweet staff! Truly a hidden gem! I just found out they also do AYCE wings! Adding that to my bucket list for sure!! Thanks Bob & team!“

“Guido’s is the best. The end.“

“Ordered the trifecta. Knocked each pizza out of the park. My favorite was the pizza built to represent an Italian sub ! Keep up the great work !“

“I am an out-of-towner visiting family. I am amazed at how good the pizza and calzones are! Huge portions, fantastic flavor, generous with toppings, and great service! I thought it was pricy until I got my food; WELL WORTH IT! Delivery was early, food was HOT. 10 out of 10 for me!“

“Zeppe's in Chardon is wonderful. Their pizza and food are delicious and flavorful. Everything taste very fresh and yummy. They have many delicious vegetarian options as well. The front store and kitchen crew are very friendly and helpful. I look forward to visiting them again very soon.“

“We always go to the Chardon location. Never had a bad experience. Hubby and I love the chicken marsala. We were sadden when it was removed from the menu. We went today and its on special. Still amazing as ever... It NEEDS to be Added back to the menu. Marcy and our server Diane were amazing as always :)“

“I never thought I'd have another italian sub sandwich again after I stopped eating meat in the late '90s (yeah, people can do it for that long and still be alive. Amazing, right?). And then I saw that Dave's Cosmic Subs has vegan options. Well now I'm enjoying them again thanks to this place. I can't believe I've waited this long to try anything from them, but I'm making up for it now.“

“Lee Angelo’s helped us host our daughter’s birthday party very last minute and was extremely helpful and kind during the entire process. Maddie was helpful with planning and Briana was so helpful the day of and made sure everything was perfect. It was a big hit for the kids with create your own pizzas. Lee Angelo’s is so wonderful for the Aurora community.“

“Food is always fabulous and the Christmas decor is unparalleled and spectacular!“

“We’ve enjoyed many wonderful tasting menus over the years, but our New Year’s Eve experience at JoJo’s truly stood out as something special. Executive Chef Landon and his incredible Executive Sous Chef, Joe, presented our family with one of the most memorable and perfectly executed dinners we’ve had. Since we couldn’t decide between the options, we shared everything, and we’re so glad we did. The stone crab claws and lamb lollipops were an outstanding start. For entrées, my husband chose the bone‑in ribeye while I had the lobster ricotta agnolotti with black truffle. Both were exceptional. We ended the night by sharing the Luxardo cheesecake and the champagne‑poached pears, which were the perfect finish. The champagne and wine we were suggested were spot‑on, though the wine pairing would have been a great choice as well. The management team, with Mark and Ryan leading the ship that night, made the evening seamless, and our bartender, Michael, was an absolute professional. truly, everyone there is fantastic. Chef Landon once shared a quote with us from Oscar Wilde: “To the strangers that become friends and those friends become family.” That sentiment perfectly captures what we love most about every experience here. We could not recommend this establishment more.“
