“I had a fantastic experience at Orchid Steakhouse in Bethlehem, PA. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt high end. The star of the evening, however, was our server Tony—friendly, attentive, and never made us feel rushed. He struck the perfect balance of professionalism and approachability, making our dinner feel relaxed and enjoyable. As for the food: absolutely delicious. Every dish was flavorful and clearly made with care. The steaks were perfectly cooked, tender, and seasoned just right. The sides and appetizers were equally impressive—fresh, well-portioned, and beautifully presented.“

“Amazing garlic knot sandwiches and super friendly staff! Loved my experience here :)“

“Such an incredible little gem. The food here is absolutely incredible. Get the carbonara! And calamari! The service is wonderful, you feel like family. The atmosphere is welcoming and feels like you’re sitting down an Nonna’s. We’ve been multiple times and cannot wait to come back!“

“Our server Andy was like a tour guide from the menu, the history, and showing us the improvements and additional beauty of the restaurant such as the 2nd floor and outside patio. He was very attentive and cordial to make the experience warm and enjoyable. I had the Crepe Valentina and WOW this was top tier and one of my favorite dishes ever! The seafood portions were perfect, the crepe was a lighter touch, and the sauce made the dish delish. And, after trying the Sangria Blanco, I had to get a 2nd one, which was perfectly crafted. I was born and raised in the LV, and with all of the restaurants coming in and out of the area, this is definitely one that I hope becomes a mainstay!“

“We found this restaurant online and we were coming to Bethlehem from Wayne, NJ. We made a reservation for 4 on Sunday at 3pm and arrived on time! We were met by our server Maddy and seated at a large table. The food and service were outstanding. We come from an area filled with Italian restaurants and we were so pleased that we wouldn't hesitate at all to drive back just to eat there again! The portions were large, came out exactly as we ordered them. The prices were excellent also. If you want a great Italian dinner or pizza, I highly recommend this place!“

“I live in Pennsburg which has about 10 different pizza shops. None of them compare to Giovanni’s. I love Sicilian pizza and Giovanni’s has the best bar none. When I order one at my local pizza shop, it turns out to be a regular pizza made into a square shape. Thanks for the care, quality and freshness of your food.“

“5 Stars – Absolutely Incredible!
I ordered a strawberry shortcake for my nieces wedding with just 6 days' notice, and this bakery absolutely blew me away. Not only did they come through on such short notice, but the cake was beyond delicious – light, fresh, and perfectly balanced, with the most flavorful strawberries and fluffy cream. Every guest commented on how amazing it tasted!
But what really stood out was the service. They went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect – from communication to presentation. You can tell they truly care about what they do and about their customers.
If you're looking for a bakery that delivers quality, care, and incredible flavor – this is it. We’re so grateful and will definitely be back for future celebrations!“

“We have gotten take-out previously and our pizza was great. Decided to dine-in this evening and was very pleased with our food and service. We will definitely be back.“

“Staff is curtious and welcoming and food is great. If you like Italian style food you'll really enjoy this gem. Can't speak enough of how well my waitress Rhiannon took care of me when I visited DiMaio's. She is an excellent testament to the server profession. Rhiannon,Danielle and the rest of the servers and staff will take great care of you when you visit. Like I said the food is awesome too. I recommend the Chicken Paresaro that is magnificent aswell as there other dishes, and there canolli are a sweet treat that you'll love after your meal. I spoke to one of the owners when I visited and explained to her what a wonderful establishment they have. The atmosphere is excellent. I sincerely recommend if your in the Hellertown,PA area to coke check out DiMaio's Family Ristorante and Pizzeria.“

“What do I say about Vesuvio's... I love everything💛 Grew up on their food ever since I was a small child. Local pizzeria where you can get take out or dine in..harder to find good places where dine in is an option other then fast food. Was always and still is me and my family s first choice for a good pizza too.. the place is under its second owner and they know how to do it right. Great food, great prices and friendly staff with terrific customer service. that s why myself my family and alot of my friends have and will continue to go there.“

“2/26/2025. We ordered two pizzas to be delivered. One was plain cheese….second one was a meatball pepperoni combo. Our order arrived very quickly. Pizzas were hot and ready to eat. We loved the quality ingredients. The crust and sauce set the stage for a very tasty bite. Crust was baked perfectly. It had great texture, flavor and the right chew factor. The delivery person was wonderful too. Bellas has been and will continue to be our go to for incredible pizza.“

“Very good at the time of eating and just seeing 1 single waitress covering the entire service at different tables makes me think that they need more like her with her discipline to teach young people, she was already 1 older person but very efficient, for her we will go again to enjoy with our palate!“

“God it’s good to have you back we missed your cooking!! I’m sold not going anywhere but to you!! Thank you so much for the friendly face and kindness! Best Buffalo chicken pizza in quakertown period!“

“Out of this world pizza!!! Worth the wait and reasonably priced. Tastes straight out of Italy. I wish I could eat it every day!“

“I really liked that today on a Monday that they have a all you can eat buffet for $13.99 and they had Cherry Pepsi. The sodas are only $3 that's cheap. Also you get dessert included in the price of the buffet. That's so Awesome!! Definitely worth that price. The atmosphere is cozy and the waitress was so friendly and attentive. This is a must visit again!! The food was so yummy. Plus I forgot to add you get a salad and garlic bread with the choices. Definitely recommend this place.“

“This is our favorite place to stop for lunch or dinner when we are in the area for medical care. The food is always so good and very reasonably priced with large portions. The staff is friendly and welcoming. I just love the decor and atmosphere too. If you're looking for a treat you have to try the canoli.“

“The absolute best pizza in PA and their meatballs are A+“

“All of my birthday wishes came true at Pat’s Pizza. Burrata, Calamari, and my absolute favorite - Pasta Flights. BYOB and friendly/fast service. I will never not recommend Pat’s.“

“I have been ordering from Ray's for over twenty years, from way back when they were located on Pennsylvania Ave. The service is always great and the order is always ready on time. Some of my favorites over the years are the cheessteak stromboli, sausage rolls, steak sandwiches and of course the famous pizza! The food is always tasty and freshly made! I plan on ordering from Ray's for many years to come!“

“Can I just say not only how delicious the food is, but its made even better because of the owners. They have to be the sweetest, most welcoming people you would want to meet. I cant recommend Tony's enough. If you're in the mood for pizza, dont waste your time going anywhere else. This place is better !!!!!“

“Left with 2 bags of food today and everything is amazing. Our son asked for food from there after David’s was generous enough to support our HS football program with a meal. Pepperoni bread and meatballs were so good and the bread pudding is every bit as good as it looks. Looking forward to the soup tomorrow for lunch. Really good fresh food, made simple. We will be back…“

“This review is solely about their pizza. Got a plain cheese slice to try them out. Dry, had a hard crust, bland as hell, cheap cheese. I'm not exaggerating when I say it didn't taste any different from a low end frozen pizza at Walmart. Definitely bottom shelf quality. Will never eat here again.“

“We absolutely LOVE Ecco Domani! We eat here regularly and it is a go to date night spot for us. Food is consistently excellent and the staff is FANTASTIC“

“The food is Delicious - Best Chicken Parmigiana and Eggplant Parmigiana! So many great choices. Love their sauce. Will be back most definitely!“
