“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.“

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.“

“Beer Mussels has a warm and inviting atmosphere where everyone feels like family. The friendly staff and cozy setting make it the perfect spot for a relaxing evening with friends. It’s definitely worth stopping by and giving it a shot👍“

“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!“

“Great place for good Italian food. Tina and Mama Rose are full of energy and make you feel like you’re sitting in their kitchen. The meals are deliciously. We will be back for sure! Bravo!!!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“I just happened to drive by the restaurant during dinner hour and noticed that the parking lot was filled, as compared to years ago. As a result, my interest was peeked and decided to Google them. Studied the online menu and decided to give them a try. Turns out we have a little Italian gem here in the Lehigh Valley. We have eaten at this warm, cozy restaurant three times in the last month. All three times the food was fresh and fabulous. The two front rooms are used for large group parties that I must keep in mind for in the future. The side rooms are cozy and rustic. Pasta and sauces are made fresh daily. Give a try - you will be impressed.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“I’m a lover of food. The vodka sauce is the best in the valley hands down!!!!“

The pizza is fabulous…thin crust (but not too thin) and the meatballs were outstanding!I grew up in the immediate vicinity and never ate here until now. I can’t wait to try some of the other dishes.Highly recommended according to this reviewer.“

“Excellent food and customer service. Our waitress was great. Very nice environment. Large servings. I think the sauces are homemade as they taste fresh. Has some of the best clans casino I ever tried. I got to the chicken fettuccine Alfredo for my meal. Went there with my family NY Eve. Highly recommend. Prices are fair for the area.“

“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.“

“I’m making it my weekly duty to come in and order anything on your menu. I’ve been so impressed the last few times I’ve gone in. The penne vodka pizza is a MUST“

“Excellent Food, Great Ambiance and exceptional service by Tyler. Best meal I had since the last time we ate at the Melt. I would highly recommend the Melt!!!“

“went for their lunch buffet an hour and a half after it started. food was totally cold. we told them and the owner or whoever came to check the settings and apparently they weren't even turned on. we asked for something to compensate and they only gave 10% off the bill. You would think they would have temped the food after we said something but they didn't. definitely do not recommend this restaurant as they don't care about their customers at all.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Absolutely love the entire vibe of the place. The decorations are out of this world. The pizza and mozzarella sticks are some of the best in town. Highly recommend“

“nice corner restaurant. tried the Grandma Pizza, excellent. Fresh dough and sauce. also tried the spaghetti with meatsauce, outstanding fresh taste. Highly recommend this place.“

“Absolutely delicious! Ordered takeout and We had multiple stops until we got home. The mozzarella sticks were stock nice and crispy and all food still hot. We will definitely be going back.“

“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 !!!!!“
