“The tunes are always great and when Pedan is behind the bar the drinks are the best. Food is top notch. Pedan will always recommend the best to compliment my meal. To say she means BUSINESS would really sum it up. Go see her and try this place out !“

“I placed an online order for take out. Right when it was ready to be picked up we had an emergency situation arise, they said they understood and would keep our pizza warm for us. An hour or so later they called me and asked if they could just deliver it free of charge. They brought it to us even though we live at the edge of their delivery area. Everyone I dealt with was extremely kind and professional. Wether you like the food or not those people deserve the business just for being good humans and caring about others.“

“Our waitress Maddie was spectacular! Definitely made our anniversary night. We got the ricotta cheesecake that was beautiful and even said Happy Anniversary on it. Can’t wait to be back, thanks!“

“Three of us had a great lunch at Amerigo. The food was delicious & servings were generous. We had not been together in a while so it was great catching up where one could easily hear the conversation. Our waiter was personable and efficient. It was a lovely get together for old friends. Thank you.“

“Awesome food, awesome staff, awesome atmosphere! Can’t ask for anything better. It was quality local food with a Charles Vanelli flair!Go on Saturday! 1/2 brisket sandwich is the best!It’s not McDonalds premade food. If you want great fresh local food, go to Vanellis!“

“I LOVE this place! Great food, great atmosphere, great service. I haven't had anything I didn't like!“

“The food came out quickly, the salad had lots of salad dressing on it, brought extra breadsticks. The service slacked a bit after our meals were served. Ordered cheesecake for dessert to take back to the hotel and when we opened it to eat it later, it was just the cake, charged $10/each for cake! The meals were delicious, it was a little slack in service and the cake that dropped the review.“

“We have been going here for years and the food and service was starting to decline over the last year. We went again last week and everything had improved tremendously. Apparently new members of the original family took it over and everything was really good again. The food was excellent as was the service. The atmosphere was much brighter as well. We are going again tonight.“

“I have to say, I'm not really a fan of pasta, which means there's not a lot for me to eat at Olive Garden. Also, I'm gluten free, so that really limits my selection.
They do have a gluten free pasta, which I had with meat sauce. The pasta was okay...no GF pasta is great. That's just how it is. I was really disappointed in the sauce. It did not taste like I was eating an Italian restaurant.
The time the hubs & I visited few here prior to this one, I ordered GF pasta and they brought me regular pasta. I was fortunate enough to catch it before I took a bite. By the time my food arrived, the hubs was just about finished eating. I ate a little of mine, then took the rest home. I didn't like my food then either.
The salad is always a good option for me (without croutons). I love salad and enjoy theirs very much.
I was with a party of people. Most seemed to like their food, so the disappointment is likely just due to my preferences.
The atmosphere is welcoming and it's not typically loud.
If my review was helpful, let me know by tapping the heart. Happy eating!

Dietary restrictions: Limited gluten free selections.“

They went above and beyond their catering duties, even helping with cleanup and breakdown for a very intricate event. The food was absolutely delicious, and I can’t wait to visit their restaurant soon. If you’re looking for exceptional service and mouthwatering dishes, you can’t go wrong with Coletta’s Catering!“

“We ordered online through Pizza Hut and the GPS sent us here, but the actual location for this online ordering is just up the road. Pizza was excellent, and so was the service. If you accidentally end up here looking for your pizza, it's two minutes away near the Banfield Pet Hospital on U.S. 64.“

I am so glad that I chose them because their pizza was absolutely delicious!! The crust was amazing and the toppings were very fresh. I can definitely recommend this business for those looking for good pizza.“
