I have traveled the country for years and tonight I found the BEST restaurant i have ever encountered. My colleagues were with me and the pizza and pasta and appetizers were the best we've ever had. After dinner, I went back to Hot Tomato to bring take out to bring black to my staff. The drinks are so fun and unique, and the atmosphere is so fun you will not want to leave. A special thank you to Bianca who runs the restaurant. Sweet, Kind, and she makes you feel like family. She is amazing, ask for her, she will do everything to make you enjoy your experience. Another special person who is the bartender, and soon to be Manager, Maria. Makes the BEST drinks šø and she has the most beautiful smile and heart ā¤ļø you will ever meet. Maria, thank you for the conversation and amazing drinks. Hot Tomato is so lucky to have you. Overall, I would rate my experience A+. If I had to rate the staff and food 1 out of 10? I would give them 50000. Do not miss going to Hot Tomato. You will go back over & over again. Thank you Hot Tomato!!ā¤ļø!!
Thank you Blanca for you're wonderful service! You and Emperor were a fantastic team, and made our night. We cannot wait to come back and see y'all again! The food was absolutely amazing. It came with good portions on everything as well!

I came for dinner on Saturday night for the first time after hearing great things about this place, and I had to try it. From the staff to the food and entertainment, everything was amazing. Our server was very attentive, which made the experience even better. The guy on the guitar was really getting into it! The experience felt a bit nostalgic for me, especially with the acoustic music, since Iām from Spain. Some of the songs he played brought me back to those night weād have dinner on a terrace in Madrid. I had the fig and prosciutto pizza, and it was absolutely delicious. Everything on the menu looked appetizing, and I will definitely be returning. A must-try for sure!"

We stopped in with our party of 8 on thanksgiving day, under the new ownership that is celebrating one year, Hot Tomato is back to being the best Italian spot in MB. our server Emperor was such a nice guy, attentive and personable. The food was fantastic and the portion sizes have literally doubled from what it used to be. Everyone loved the entrees they got and we all had different, pizza, piccata, Parmesan, Alfredo etc. every meal comes with a lovely well made side salad and pasta of your choice. Bread and dipping sauce on the table to share. Get dessert even tho you wonāt have room. My friend got the cannoli and said it was the best she ever had. Thereās also a full bar and wine and beer selection. We were so busy talking and eating we all forgot to get pics of the food but other reviewers will show how good the food is. The owner was there checking on everything throughout the night and gave us all complimentary lemonchello shots. You canāt beat that!

Extremely rude manager
Threatened to call the POLICE on my family for requesting food replacement due to it not being what was ordered. Weāve been regulars to this establishment for years! Canāt believe the new ownership and how they treat their customers.

Ordered take out. I got the cheese raviolis and they were delicious! I will definitely be back next time Iām here!
****BEWARE**** the menu states auto gratuity added on parties of 6 or more this is a LIE! Itās added to ALL checks. I wouldnāt have cared but after handing the server quite a more than generous tip in cash it was still added. Itās really too bad bc the pizza was great, but all of Ohio and more knows never to go here! I called to ask why it was added bc the menu states only auto added to parties of 6 and it was only my husband and I and when asked for a manager āno one knows when they workā. Hmmmm. ***click on photo and read last highlighted sentence!

First off - I leave very fair reviews and I hate to have to leave negative ones, but the public needs to know ā¦.Most people know that a margarita pizza is (as their menu says, I believe)ā¦.fresh mozzarella, plum tomatoes, and fresh basil, you can see the picture, unacceptable amount of basil. The guy behind the bar was nice enough to go get me a little more and said the kitchen is running out of it, but it was that pre-shredded / barely freshā¦. basil is pretty much accessible and can be grown all year long, so no excuses, but no globs of fresh mozzarella or plum tomatoes, extraordinarily thin crust and hard on the outside, And overall, it was lacking flavor , so I basically ate the interior of the pizza, and after having to tip the kid for getting the basil, I spent $18 for a āhandfulā of low quality ingredients. Epic failure on their part and my decision after choosing them over dozens of other places. Response to owner- multiple people laughed at that picture. Instead of being defensive, just own it. I didnāt ask for more food for free or even leave the place. Youāre not using full fresh basil leaves / actual fresh mozzarella globs, like every margarita pizza should be. Proof is in the picture! Not asking for Pizza Hut crust, but it was rock hard. Enough said. (Other pic is from river oaks, yāall be the judge).

This hidden gem is a must go. They have huge brick ovens that get the pizza slightly crispy and perfect!! Everything on the menu is delicious! Thereās a large bar that extends the length of the restaurant and all the staff are simply amazing.
Saturday nights they have live music!! The guitarist is a must see. Heās the coolest thing ever. Heās either playing in his spot or walking over to tables for little personal performances. So much fun! The whole restaurant claps and sings. Donāt just go out to eat, go out to experience!!

We had To-Go. Pizza, meatballs, salad, BBQ wings, and Garlic-Parmesan wings. OUTSTANDING! We loved the atmosphere and wished we ate in. Beautiful inside. The hostess - possibly the owner was so kind & friendly (possibly Italian?).
