“The family is super nice and down to earth. The Italian dishes are so good. Another awesome family owned business in the 18704. When it's nice out, they have outdoor dining. As you eat outside you can enjoy the beautiful mural that's located across the street at Amy Bezek Photography's studio and art gallery.“

“My dad was celebrating his retirement and wanted to have the family together for dinner. He reserved a private room that seats 8. This was around the holidays. They had the table set beautifully with their holiday menus already waiting for us. A few of us tried their holiday cocktails and some stayed with the regular menu but both were delicious. We had a wide range of food choices across the table and everyone had great things to say. When time for dessert, we all opted for something different. The crème brûlée was out of this world along with their espresso martini. It was everything my dad had hoped for!“

“Illiano's is by far the best restaurant in the valley. There's something for everyone on the menu. Order the sicilian marinara pizza...thick crust, fresh tomatoes, garlic and plenty of cheese. If you're not happy, it's on you. It's definitely not the food“

“I absolutely loved the style of the restaurant! Green and gold decor was super cute! The food was absolutely amazing and FRESH! Eric our server was very polite and helpful gave us the full run down on our first time here. 10/10 will be coming back for Mia Via’s food and Eric’s “

“Great design of an eatery in an old factory brick building. The atmosphere was excellent and unique to the area. The food that our party had was excellent. Nice menu selections, great cocktails, and tasty appetizers. The service was fantastic. Anna was bubbly, knowledgeable and prompt. She made us feel welcome and made a few great suggestions. We will definitely return and I recommend giving it a try if you haven't. The experience was like dining in a piece of local history.Kid-friendliness: It's part museum with waterfall and fountain what kid wouldn't like it.Wheelchair accessibility: The is a low grade ramp and open interior layout. Bathroom stalls are extra large to accommodate a chair.“

“We had a fabulous dining experience! The chicken parmesan was "chef's kiss" with the perfect amount of sauce and pasta. The chicken was moist and tender. The ravioli was classical italian with a perfect red sauce. The atmosphere was busy, with a lot of people coming and going and the wait staff negotiating between them, but it was a Saturday night. The waitress, Desiree, was pleasant and efficient, and checked up on us often, which was appreciated. Solid 5 out of 5. We will return!“

“I ordered catering a bit in advance and they were very accommodating and responsive to any questions or changes. The food was delivered on time and warm and everyone loved it! I don't live in the area any more but if I did, I'd be here every week! High quality Mexican food ??“

“My husband and I went here on Valentine’s Day for the first time and we were absolutely blown away. The service was attentive and fast, food came out perfectly timed (and hot), presentation was excellent. We each had several yummy cocktails (I recommend the Honey, I Do), shared the clams appetizer, and had the Sole Special and the steak and lobster tail special for dinner. I worked in the restaurant industry in fine dining for many years and am usually so disappointed in restaurant experiences that we have mostly stopped going out to eat. Not anymore. We will be back again and again. Thank you for a lovely meal.“

Loved and adored by all.Wheelchair accessibility: I’m wheelchair bound and they have both booths and tables“

“Ordered 2 hoagies, some chicken bites and the meateor pizza. Everything was delicious!! Highly recommend the red garlic parmesan sauce on the bites and the pizza was . Not to mention we called during busy hours and was told 45 min to an hour for delivery. Food was hot and at our door in 30 min. Get yourself some yummies!!“

“Originally stumbled upon Antonio's, because no nearby shops permitted any emergency, bathroom use. Was directed to Antonio's! Well, Pierro (da pizzero) turns out, is Italian---a people person.As matter of convenience, I asked Pierro heat-up coupla slice for opportunity to sample the pizza baking skills; this passionately kind gentleman delivers. The rest was history.... I often stop here, when shopping locally, passing thru town, or as a matter of craving for a deliciously-satisfying cheese-steak w my favorite embellishments. But, though a regular-sized cheese-steak is plenty-enough food, for a working man's appetite, I almost invariably get the "large"......looks double the regular size, for only coupla bucks more..... and he really loads-up the steak greater than All other restaurants I been..... in Philly, and many miles in between!!!I prefer dining from restaurants, where the chef-pizzero has ❤️ for his customers.Parking: strip mall parking...... when super-busy, I enjoy walking a few steps more; as I enjoy free exercise, w/o any whimper.“

“Went here for the first time in several years. Food was amazing! My wife had the penne pasta with olive oil and garlic and it was absolutely delicious. I had crab cakes with baked potato and french onion soup. The crab cakes were the best I have ever had. The baked potato was cooked to perfection and the French onion soup was to die for! Our daughter raved about the panko shrimp also. Others in the group that went with us all said the same thing the food was amazing. They even had a flatbread pagach because it was a Friday in Lent. Highly recommend this place. If you haven't been there in several months or longer by all means give them another shot because they are fantastic!“

“Napoli's is great especially when you're on a time crunch! They have several different kinds of slices available and service is fast and friendly. The dining area is super clean, and the pizza is great! Perfect place to pop in on lunch break. They have full pies available too but I love being able to just grab slices!“

“We visited here on a Saturday evening around 4 pm. I highly recommend reservations, especially on the weekends, as they did fill up pretty quickly. The Chicken marsala I ordered was very good! It came with your choice of pasta, and I chose angel hair. I also enjoyed the personal meat lovers pizza we ordered as an appetizer. My friend loved their Italian wedding soup and eggplant parm. Overall, our experience here was very good, and we would definitely visit again.“

“Pizza is usually pretty consistent and good. Got the grandma pizza and it was really good. Got a few regular slices which were good as well. Regular pizza could use a little more sauce but other wise a really good pizza place in the WB area“

“My husband and I had a delicious meal last evening. Our server, Dana was fantastic, she was very well appraised on the menu and answered all questions that we asked. I ordered Veal Scallopini, the veal was so tender, and my husband had Mediterranean Haddock, both dishes were a taste treat. A basket of bread came out promptly and I must say the sesame bread sticks were awesome. We chose salad as one of our two choices of sides and it was served cold and crisp. Can't say enough about our dining experience here at the Gramercy.“

“The food was amazing and the family is the most loving and beautiful people I have met. I'm so sad for the father I pray? for the family and I promise I'm coming for that pizza on Friday ?? ?... P.S. the cream of mushroom soup is to die “

“We haven’t been there in a while but I have to say tonight’s meals were excellent! As soon as you walk in you smell the aroma of homemade sauce! Had the polenta, always great and portion is crazy. Husband had chicken parm!! Portion was Huge! Other couple had chicken franchaise and ricotta cavatelli w/ vodka sauce! Yummy all the way around and we all left full and happy with some leftovers! Will be back!“

“My favorite type of place to go to eat: small, family owned, and non chain. This place checked those boxes. The staff was very friendly, patient, and personable. Food was delicious flavorful and fresh. Though a little expensive, it's definitely worth it. This was my first visit here and we'll definitely be back.“

“Great food,Very nice and pleasant Waitresses. Would have gave it 5 stars but the owner/manager/cook or whoever he is keeps coming out of the kitchen into the dining room and complaining to the waitress about things constantly. I understand he is running the show but at least do it in the kitchen where people Dining don’t have to listen to it.“

“We had a fantastic time at Angelo's. The pizza was excellent – authentic New York style. We tried both the white and red pies, and they were delicious. With our large group, the staff looked after us really well. They were attentive, and we all had a pleasant experience. It's conveniently located in the Wyoming Avenue plaza with plenty of parking. Well done to the team!“

“This place mostly has pizza and subs. The food was really good! The service was top-notch! The atmosphere is lacking as it is an older place. They also don't have a wide variety of condiments available. There is no pickles or garlic (or garlic sauce). But overall good food for a decent price.Vegetarian options: If you get pizza or Subs without meat.Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs.“

“Came here to celebrate my mom's 60th birthday. We all were staying in the hotel and gambling in the casino and wound up at this restaurant for the big birthday dinner celebration. We were a party of 6, so we made reservations in advance. The decor of the restaurant was great. Lots of cool images were all around us. We all started out ordering a bunch of different cocktails and mixed drinks. I went with the spicy margarita and I loved it. The tequila used was great and so smooth. After a while, we ordered our meals, and everyone enjoyed themselves. I had the spicy shrimp meal, which was awesome. Perfect amount of heat. A popular choice from everyone was the hanger steak. No one snapped a photo of it, though, lol. But everyone raved how good it was. My mom went with the salmon meal, and she loved it. Overall, we had a blast here and really enjoyed ourselves. The food and drinks are on point here. Highly recommended!“

“$17.00 for the best thick crust pizza ever. Ours was a take out order on a busy Friday afternoon. Counter staff can do the dance, serving several take out customers at a time, making change, and thanking guests,. Dedicated door for take out, cash only, ATM on site, clean, great parking. We will be back. “

“2/7/24 This is the 2nd visit here recently. I came with a party of 2 and a group of 7. Both times the food and service were spot on! Everything was delicious, the service was very attentive and the place was clean! This staff is so much better than what was here over a year ago. That crew was Rock bottom! What a difference a little hustle and hot food can make! Thank you.“

“Haven’t had it in years, got it tonight and it was delicious, very reasonably priced. Thanks so much for making delicious food and not over charging like other pizza places for the same price I got more for my money.Kid-friendliness: The delivery driver was very pleasant also :)“

“Our family had a funeral reception at Bettelli's Villa and we couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. Jessica, the owner, opened early on a Saturday to accommodate the hours we needed. She was also very flexible with the food offerings and provided items that weren't on their menu. All of our guests commended how nice everything was setup and the relaxing atmosphere. The staff was very friendly and attentive. We'd like to thank them all for making our get together a joyful memory.“

“Lino’s pizza is a great place with great food, fresh taste, fresh ingredients and always has the best quality every time. I highly recommend because they have a great list of delicious authentic food to choose from on their menu. Definitely the best in town“

“Not only is the food at Leggio's fantastic, but you'll get huge portions and wonderful service to boot. The menu is varied and has something for almost everyone!The atmosphere reminds me of going to Pizza Hut in the late 80s and early 90s, and if you think that is a negative thing it is most certainly not. It's a warm nostalgic feeling, very roomy and clean.“

“Let me say this up front: We went for pizza at the Fort Cafe in Forty Fort and left disappointed.Not because the pizza was bad. Quite the contrary. The 8-cut, Old Forge-style pizza was very tasty, with a baked crust topped with a balanced amount of tangy sauce, chunks of tomato, and cheese. It certainly wasn’t because of the staff. Our server was extremely friendly and delightful, making us feel right at home within 10 seconds with her glowing, warm smile.The reason for our dismay stems from the fact that we didn’t ignore our hankering for pizza and missed out on what appeared to be some amazing dishes.We arrived fairly late on a Friday evening at around 7:40, and were perplexed that – although the restaurant closes at 9 p.m. – we may have missed being served a meal because we arrived after 7:15. Really? All we wanted was to sit, eat some pizza, and leave. However, we completely misjudged our expectations.We were fortunate enough to get a table anyway, and after looking at the menu, realized that Fort Cafe is no mere pizza parlor with an attached bar. Selections such as chicken or veal saltimbocca, scallops, shrimp vodka, baked gnocchi, and other dishes looked exquisitely enticing. Combine that with some wine, and one has an enjoyable experience.Chef Jeff Piazza, who was once the co-owner of fine dining restaurant Gelpiaz in Kingston (now Kevin’s) and the nearby Whitehouse Diner, is at the helm of this tiny, unassuming eatery. He brings with him years of experience, and I’m very much looking forward to returning. Our table afforded me the advantage of peeking into the kitchen, where I was able to see him toss food in a pan over large flames. After glancing at what was eventually being brought out to patrons, I was envious. The meals looked very appealing, and here I was slumming it with only pizza.From what I’ve been told, since the menu consistently changes, checking Facebook for daily posts is recommended. Although the dining room is simple and small, with the tables being very closely arranged, one does not feel cramped. The small venue makes for a comfortable, friendly neighborhood vibe.So check Facebook, make a reservation, and eat delicious pizza only if you must. But I feel I must warn you that you’ll likely miss out on a very splendid dining opportunity if you do.“

“I don't live in PA any longer, but since I've been back and from the moment I started going to Primo's it has become the ONLY place I get my hoagies from. It's small and it's tucked into the shopping center, but it is hands down one of my favorite little shops in the area. Italian bread is Italian bread, but I sweat it tastes better here. These are hands down the best subs/hoagies you will get in the area. They are also instagram worthy. The attention to detail here is very high. The people who work here take pride in what they do and you can tell wirh the level of respect, sincerity and genuine commentary for the customer.There was a small mistake on my order, and the associate I met, Shaun was immediately on it making me a new hoagie. This was shortly after a rude customer had just left. For this man to be as respectful as he was just having dealt with such an unruly customer, to not only help me but to genuinely take care of my order with the same level of patience as any other customer, that means alot in my book. Each and every person I have met here is extremely respectful and good people. If you're in the area, and you want a REAL Italian hoagie, this place is a must. Especially if you like spicy like me, the get the Diablo. Delicious food, warm people, that take pride and respect seriously“

“Had dinner here on 4/10/24 and found the service and food a definite 5 star. The sea food Alfredo was excellent, furthermore I ate half and tomorrow the other half?. Now for the service, Alison was an outstanding server, kind and friendly...thank youI definitely will be back???“

“A friend and I had a great dinner on April 30, 2024. She had wedding chicken and I had shrimp over risotto, both of which were delicious. Our server Tyler was attentive, efficient and engaging. My friend complemented the bartender for great martinis.“

“We were just traveling through from Vermont to home (Pittsburgh). Very tasty NY style pizza. Crust was perfect. Sauce and cheese were also very good. Also got an Italian hoagie. Bread was fresh, good amount of meats. Wish they were in Pittsburgh!!!“

“Just ordered lunch upon returning to the area from South Florida. Food was just like we remembered 15 years ago. Pizza light, crispy and tasty. Texas cheese burger and Texas footlong unchanged.. Food very tasty, reasonable priced. Would recommend and will be returning.“
