“After traveling and enjoying fine Italian food I came back to Memphis with a craving of gnocchi.. quick google search brought me here !! And I’m so glad it did !! The fried green tomatoes and cornbread were delicious apps to start off !! A few mixed drinks and a glass of wine soothed the mood . The Gnocchi did not disappoint and the “ blue crab “ spaghetti was a pleasant surprise!! But the desert!!! The CHOCOLATE STICKY TOFFEE PUDDING ….Let me be clear … BEST DESERT IN ALL MY TRAVELS !! Cannot recommend Andrew Michael’s enough“

“Great service great food. Hudson was the best server we have ever experienced. Very attentive and so kind. My wife and I split the Spinach Manicotti. Was great, warm, and filling! Great night all around. Will sure be coming back!“

“They are the very best restaurant in town.“

“Joseph was our waiter tonight and I just want to send a shout out for his professionalism and wonderful demeanor. Hope to dine here again and look forward to him helping us again. The PARHAM’S“

“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!“

“The Bruschetta and Veal Piccata were excellent. Our service was great. A thoroughly enjoyable meal.“

“Food was very good the Chicken Marsala was extremely salty I had to change my order to a less salty dish, they made it right I was disappointed though they did not do anything special for my wife's birthday. They use too but I guess new management. Other than that we enjoyed the evening at Amerigo's.“

“Found Dino's on a whim (thanks to Google Maps) today looking for a spot to eat after getting at the zoo. Really nice place and good food. Am glad we found it.“

“True New York Style Pizza in The South. Delicious Pizza � and spaghetti � Definitely I recommend Little Italy Downtown � to all Memphis.“

“Never purchased anything I didn’t like!“

“Cannot say enough about Pete and Sam’s. Although it was never the same after Sam passed, Sammy and Michael I’ve done a tremendous job in carrying the legacy. You cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. Greatest spinach you will ever put in your mouth. Unbelievable pizzas. A original Eggplant Paulo always hits the spot. My new personal favorite, the NY Strip! Amazing crust cooked to perfection. Thank you Pete and Sam’s for providing lifelong memories!“

“No deconstructed, pretentious gastronomy. If Italian good is your comfort food, but you want it upscaled and fresh this is your jam. All the classics done well, tasty and creative grown up drinks, and get your own dessert and an espresso for yourself cause you won’t want to share. They good. Thumbs Up!“

“This is our go-to date night restaurant! Every menu item I’ve ordered (too many to mention) has been nothing short of delicious. The portions are big, and the quality is superb. The caramel pie is to die for!“

“Great food and service was outstanding“

“We had an excellent experience at an early dinner. We sat at the bar due to we didn’t make reservations ahead of time. I highly recommend making reservations for this very popular restaurant. Stephen, the bar manager, was very knowledgeable about all the menu items, their ingredients and how they were prepared. He made excellent recommendations. He made conversation with everyone and ensured we were well taken care of. The service and atmosphere were outstanding.“

“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!

“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.“

“My server was Diago, and he was very polite to my dad and I (saying mamm/sir). The food was amazing, and it did not take long at all, but it was not very but also not slow but over all 5 stars and definitely recamend.“

“I’ve picked food up and had it delivered, and everything was fantastic both times. I’ve already referred several friends and hope to join them there to dine-in soon. If you haven’t been yet, I encourage you to give them a try.“

“Even if the pizza was a 4 which it’s not I would give this place a 100. Top tier pizza and I’m from out of town and this was hands down the best customer service I have ever had in my 34 years of life. Felt like home and family and my order was messed up by google but they were quick to interact and correct it even though I didn’t know it was messed up. This is my first review ever so that’s saying a lot.“

“I have been eating at their South Parkway location my entire life. I have not been disappointed ever!!! All of the negative comments are just absurd because the staff is great and so is the food. I ❤️Coletta's????“

“Chefs kiss 💋 the best pizza“

“This is one of Memphis‘s finest restaurants, very, very very highly recommended“

“My husband and I just stopped in for a quick bite (2pm in the afternoon) and and enjoyed the south Philly and the Italian Beef- highly recommend. However, I was a bit disappointed in the atmosphere of the place. The ceiling was falling down or missing in places, there was no ice available in the drink machine, and several of the tables were dirty. I’m all about supporting local but you’ve got to put a little effort into it. Sorry to be negative but I want you to be successful!“

“The food is amazing as well as the service! We stopped in on our way home from a long trip to meet up with a friend. The meal was wonderful. I recommend their pizza!“

“We love this place! We just picked up a Loaded Pizza. They only use the freshest ingredients and the staff is friendly and funny. Always a pleasure!“

“We celebrated my son’s graduation there on Sunday and it was perfect!! Our server Andrew was the best with great service and suggestions. The food was delicious and the guys loved the T-Rex!! Highly recommend for your celebration or just a fantastic lunch!!🍕❤️👨‍🎓“

“Great experience at Rotolo’s. Great food and entertainment!!“

“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.“

“This was our First Time coming to Jets Pizza. BBQ Chicken, Spinach and Feta Bread was fantastic. Outstanding Customer Service provided by Dawn, John , and Greg. We will come back to Try the Deep Dish specialty.“

“I recently had the pleasure of working with Coletta’s Catering for a wedding on 9/20, and I cannot say enough great things about this amazing team! 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!“

“The Lot-A-Burger team ordered lunch for the first time on yesterday, and we must say that the food was absouletly amazing....highly recommended. Let's continue to support and uplift each other.“

“The service was great. Veronica had the sweetest demeanor. We got a chance to meet the cook, Mike. Our hat goes off to him for such a superbly prepares meal.😋 We ordered the fish and spaghetti 🍝 meal. OMG- just down right delicious!!!!!! We will definitely be back AND tell some friends.“

“Their chicken philly is AMAZING“

“For starters, I was placed on hold for twenty minutes before I hung up and called back. I finally got the order placed. I was told I would receive it in around 57 minutes. I called back 1 hour and 30 minutes later and was told it’s coming. Twenty minutes later I called back and the manager answered. I was apologized to and told the driver was about to leave with it. The driver apologized when he arrived and said the other driver neglected to bring my order, so it just sat there. After he left I opened the pizza box to find a cold pizza with a 4” crust around the edge and had sat so long that the bottom was stuck to the box. I called back and was given the run around, so I asked for the manager. The manager offered to make thing right and send a fresh pizza to me. An hour and a half later I’m realizing that the replacement pizza isn’t coming. I’d like to call back again just to see what they say this time, but I guess it’s probably best to bid Marco’s farewell. Way to go and thanks for nothing!“

“Cindy was great in Whitehaven...I give her 5 stars“

“Cindy was amazing & had customer service. Haven’t been in about 10 plus years so I was absolutely blown away with the look of the restaurant & service overall. Owen made the absolute best chicken Philly steak sandwich I’ve ever had, & April prepared a grilled chicken salad that knocked my wife & I socks off! Definitely recommend“

“My family went to Capriccio Grill for my birthday and it was a wonderful experience. Our waiter, Derrick, was attentive, humorous and accommodating. The food was awesome, especially since they were able to accommodate my dairy allergy. I'm looking forward to my next visit.“

“The waiter was awesome D.J. The food and service was amazing.“
