“Yummy brunch menu . Great service !“

“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“

“One of my FAVORITE places to have dinner. Exceptional food and service. Always welcoming and accommodating!!!“

“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!“

“Absolute best Italian in Memphis! Love this place, freshly made pastas.“

“Very impressed with our decision to get the seafood pasta and the Fess Parker Riesling. Sat at the bar and bartender was attentive to us. I will admit I was quite taken aback by the $12.50 surcharge to have our entree and salad split between my mom and I. Did the research to confirm whether this was standard surcharge pricing to split food items and it was above the average price for this.“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“They are the very best restaurant in town.“

“My friend picked this spot for her birthday. We love the simple things that make the best memories. Was such a lovely experience. Pretty nice learning some history too; sad to say I’d never been before. Sometimes trying new things really has its advantages! The food was delicious and full of flavor, we didn’t want to put our forks down. The grouper and ravioli were divine! Didn’t leave any spinach dip to spare and she loves a fresh salad with homemade dressing. Service was superb! Jade was so pleasant and we couldn’t have been more satisfied with her attentiveness and kindness. She definitely made the evening more enjoyable! Even brought our dessert (amazing bread pudding) with a candle for the birthday girl. All in all, very satisfying dinner and worth every penny! I am already looking forward to my next visit!“

“Never purchased anything I didn’t like!“

“Thank you Cocozza for such a great time! Your sauce is better than mine and I loved the meatballs. I need recipes lol. That cannoli was the best too. Usually it is so chewy at other restaurants. It was crunchy and creamy perfection. I also recommend the bruschetta and the calamari starters. Your staff was so engaging and they made my birthday so much fun. They took the time to answer questions, even about the restaurant itself and artwork. Very engaging and professional. We will be back because this is now my favorite restaurant!“

“If you go to Olive Garden ask for Reese, he was the best! Very attentive, made sure everything was taken care of at all times, and the food was great! The manager came to check on us, didn’t catch his name but he was very sweet and attentive to us and all tables. We had two birthdays with us and many of the servers sang happy birthday to us. Overall very good experience and will be back.“

“Best pizza I’ve ever had. Def try the bbq pizza.“

“This is seriously my favorite place the get food. Love everything from the staff to the over all vibe.“

“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.“

“Fantastic!“

“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.“

“We have been to Venice Kitchen several times, once at a big birthday party in their special dining room, twice for lunch, once with a Date Night partner. Every time, the food and service are exemplary. I especially love the craab chowder, but it’s all just delicious. And very down-home.“

“Chefs kiss 💋 the best pizza“

“FANTASTIC ...VERY PLEASED...“

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

“Service was so good I felt like I was in a Michelin star restaurant!! It's been a while since I visited but the food was fresh, salad was as good as I remembered and the calamari was tender and not rubbery. Couldn't eat my entrees, was too full.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“My family was in town for a burial of our loved one. We stopped at Pizza Hut after. There was 20 plus of us. The waitress, Kelly, was very accommodating for all of us. She went above and beyond to meet our thirsty requests and arranged the dinner room to fit us all so we could sit together. Our pizza was delicious and fast. Strongly recommend“

“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????“

“Their chicken philly is AMAZING“

“I went to Exline's Pizza on Austin Peay. I often take something from Memphis back with me when I return to where I live. I got an around the world pizza, caramel cake and a brownie. The pizza was great and the customer service was even better. Tameka and Junior were great today, and made my experience amazing. The great service iswhat keeps me coming back.“

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

“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 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.“

“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!“

“The pizza has been a hit and miss lately. Just a lil seasoning on that meat or sauce will do!!! However the Salads are excellent every thing was fresh and delicious . I paid for extra and they gave extra… Salads are the best in town with a decent price.“

“Lovely food and fantastic service.“

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