“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“

“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!“

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

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

“Food was EXCELLENT- servings were LARGE (even the kids meals). I had the seafood pasta and there was seafood in every bite and WELL SEASONED! My sister had the tortellini with blackened chicken and that blackened chicken was PERFECTION! 10/10 all around!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Never purchased anything I didn’t like!“

“First visit but definitely not the last! We sat in the bar at a table. The vibe is retro 60's, very cool! Lots of celebrity photos on the walls. Awesome cocktails, incredible appetizers and the main dishes are generous sizes perfect to share (if you want to, I didn't 😉) The lasagna is the absolute best I've ever had!!! Staff is very attentive and friendly.“

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

“We hadn't been to an Olive Garden in quite some time. Don't know why. Distance I suppose. What a wonderful experience! We were celebrating a friend's birthday and she picked the restaurant. We are so glad she did! Excellent server named Caleb. Exceptional food! Salad, breadsticks, spinach & artichoke dip, eggplant Parmigiana, shrimp Alfredo. Everything was superb! Oh, and the chocolate Lasagna dessert was wonderful!“

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

“It was raining that day. We went in they sat us by the bar. The fire alarm got struck it kept going off until the fire department got there. Our other friend got there and was seated. The girls at the front that seat people at their table. Were loud and obnoxious. So was our waiter - he was standing behind the bar -being loud with the other ladies. The waitresses that are black never acknowledged or talked with us when when spoke. I have no problem with race. I love everybody - God said we are all God's children. Theat were very rude and loud. We could not hear while talking to each other. I promise I will never go back to the olive garden out east off of 64 hwy. I had better service and quite atmosphere at olive garden in Southaven ms and Jonesboro ar. Something needs to be changed. The girls up front that seat you needs to be quiet and only one at a time- the other need to go where the service people go to wait. The waiter we had no.care in the world because he is hired for good because he knows a little more than the others. I hope the owner or manager sees this. Very upset.“

“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.“

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

“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 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????“

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

“Love it, their staff and food is always on point 💯 there was a gap where I kinda forgot about going there but recently I have rediscovered what I loved about it.“

“Chefs kiss 💋 the best pizza“

“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!“

“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!“

“First time to Aldo’s . We decided to try before our show at the orpheum. We LOVED the pizza! 🤤 Matilda was such a great server,,, helped us order, was so so kind and got us in and out so we could make our show in time.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“Their chicken philly is AMAZING“

“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!“

“One of the BEST pizza spots in Memphis, TN. The SALADS 🥗 are to DIE for also. Everything was exceptional, including the prices and services. They came and met every need that my wife, my mother and I had. Thank you EXLINES we will DEFINITELY BE BACK!!!!“

“Such a wonderful experience here! Food is excellent, ambience great and terrific service! The Peabody Hotel overall, this restaurant, shops, ducks and people made this a favorite stop on my first visit to Memphis! French press coffee, avocado toast, french toast all super delicious at Capriccio!“
