“The food was fantastic. I always get the Vegetarian sandwich. lovely assortment of veggies in it. Cooked to perfection. The potato salad was delicious as is the salad with honey mustard dressing. The ice tea is prepared perfectly, no bitter taste. Every dish I have tried there is excellent.
The staff is excellent also. They offer fast service with a genuine smile and thank you for coming. Handicapped seating is not a problem and they adjust the tables and chairs if needed. I am usually in a wheelchair. No fuss. Just have a seat that I choose. They are extremely attentive but allow you the privacy to chat in peace.
The atmosphere is quite pleasant without the need to rush. It's quiet without the usual noise so you can converse without having to raise your voice.
It's a favorite lunch spot.“

“My son's girlfriend wanted chicken alfredo, so we decided to have dinner at the OG. They both ordered the chicken and gnocchi soup to start, but neither liked it (they're both extremely picky). I ordered the minestrone, and I finished it, but it was very salty, which is par for the course with OG and a major reason why I haven't eaten there in years; I'm not a big fan of excessively salty food.
Both my son and I ordered the mango iced tea (?), and OMG! It was so sweet! Too sweet for my liking, so I gave it to my son. His girlfriend got the strawberry lemonade and seemed to enjoy it.
They both ordered the chicken alfredo: his with broccoli, hers without. I ordered the herbed salmon, and it was very flavorful, although (again) quite salty. It came with broccoli, but it was soft, which I didn't much care for. I asked our server for unsweetened iced tea with LIMES and specifically asked her for the GREEN ones, and she brought me a slice of lemon. I wasn't surprised, though, because that's usually what happens when I ask for limes.
We didn't order dessert, but my son really likes the mint chocolates our server brought to our table at the end of our meal; she was nice and high energy.
Overall, the experience wasn't bad, but I don't think I'll be returning, just because OG is not the first place I think about when I want authentic Italian cuisine.“

“Today my husband picked up my food for me and told me that the Togo person named Julian was very nice and helpful. My husband asked him about the special instructions I put in there and Julian made sure it was taken care of. Such a great guy!“

“Today we stop for dinner despite we said before we were not coming back, for previous experiences of poor service, eaiting time to get table even were a lot of empty tables, and for the delays on bring food to the table
As soon we came in surprising we're not waiting time, server arrived promptly and brought our food right on time even were many people. Everything was close to be a perfect dinner.... we finish our food & were pleasantly chatting (5 minutes) when the waiter stop and asked if we will be ordering something else; we said no, and he said that we had our time pass out, so we had to pay right in that moment. TOTAL CRASH!!! what ever he did during the service went to the trash!!!!“

“Peaceful atmosphere. Great staff. Good music. Best food.
I had the margarita pizza, thin crust, with light cheese and mushroom topping. The pizza was cooked perfectly in a brick oven and was tasteful.
The in house mozzarella and marinara sauce was a treat to eat. Light on stomach and full of taste.
Waiting for the next time.“

“As the lunch place finder for a nonprofit organization, i went to Pasta Avanti and spoke with the owner Mario and asked would he open for lunch for us.
He readily agreed! What a delightful time we had! Food was wonderful, service was good. But the best was Mario's 87 year old mom singing to us!
We were a group of 45.
Mario.....thank you! The ladies loved you, mama and your establishment!“

“Great Pizza & Perfect Location on the Eastside, But Pack Your Patience.
If you are looking for local El Paso pizza on the Eastside, Ardovino's Pizza on Zargoza Rd is hard to beat for convenience and quality. The location is excellent—very easy to find right off the main strip with plenty of parking, making it a super convenient spot to meet up or grab dinner.
We ordered two pies: a classic single-topping pepperoni pizza and their famous Meat Combination (Meat Eater) pizza. The food itself was fantastic. Ardovino's signature crust is always perfectly crispy on the outside but light on the inside, and they don't skimp on the high-quality toppings. The pepperoni had that perfect crisp edge, and the meat combo was incredibly savory and packed with flavor. It's definitely some of the best gourmet pizza in the area.
The only downside to our visit was the slow service. The wait staff was perfectly friendly when they were at the table, but the overall pace of the service was noticeably poor. It took a while to get our orders taken, and tracking down refills or the check required a bit of effort. If you are in a massive rush, you might want to call ahead, but if you have time to sit back and relax, the food is completely worth the wait.
Overall, a great casual dining atmosphere and top-tier pizza. I'll absolutely be back for the food and the convenient East El Paso location, I just hope the service speed catches up next time!“

“What a staff of wonderful employees. They assist one another, and give the customers excellent service. As a businessman and retired educator, I know the importance of having a leader who communicates her expectations and is on the Frontline with helping hands. The menu is created with all palettes in mind. Ardivinos is a top restaurant in El Paso.
This evening I had a delicious sausage with anchovies pizza. Ardivonos doesn’t serve Bogle wines, so a suggested substitution with a glass of their house merlot wine was a soothing suggestion.
It is always a joy speaking with the staff as they provide a relaxing service, conversation, and a smile. Realizing nothing is perfect in this world, Ardivinos has established an ambience that relaxes the mind and soothes the heart for those of us seeking a wonderful ending to a hectic day. If you don't feel as though you don't want to cook, let Ardivinos serve be your kitchen for an evening. Don't forget to end the evening with their delectible Spumoni ice-cream.“

“We normally order an XL pizza, and it never disappoints. The pizza is absolutely delicious, and the flavor is everything you’d expect from a place that truly advertises fresh ingredients. Every bite tastes perfectly fresh, flavorful, and perfectly made. On top of that, store manager Enrique offers great service and makes customers feel welcomed and appreciated. Definitely a spot worth coming back to!“

“A great Italian restaurant that lets you bring in your own bottle of wine 🍷! I think the simple menu highlights classic Italian cuisine and makes ordering easy. I tasted the spaghetti and meatballs paired with a Chianti Classico red wine to complement the dish. The atmosphere adds a level of warmth to the dinning experience.“

“Great atmosphere, quiet and spacious, easy to move around in the dining room.
The staff were just awesome, and very gracious. They made every effort to make our dinner perfect.
The food is absolutely delicious. Although I haven't ever had a meat sauce that thick, it was absolutely amazing. The lasagna is so good. Big serving, and very well distributed throughout the slab. My wife had the Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo and she was just mesmerized but how creamy and flavorful the sauce was. Deliciously delightful.
The Chicken Parmesan was absolutely fantastic. Both my sons had some in their meals. The both enjoyed it so much there was almost no talking when our dinners arrived. To busy eating the wonderful meals.
Absolutely worth multiple trip back to have the great food.“

“The hostess/waitress was awesome (very polite & friendly), the pizza was on point, the house salad (artichokes were delicious & a nice touch) just a tad bit too oily, the sweet tea was perfect. This place is most definitely a MUST try! The outdoor seating was perfect for lunch with that spectacular view of the mountains.“

“😍 MONTELEONE’S RISTORANTE….. A place where you visit for the experience, stay for the food, and leave as family. If you’ve never been, or haven’t visited in years, this is the sign to head on over. You’ll find the crew working hard on Thursday-Saturday evenings from 5:00 pm-9:00 pm. We often hear the term “support local” and this place is a true definition of what supporting local means. Everyone that works here has their main jobs during weekdays, but three nights a week, they dedicate themselves to meeting everyone they serve. In between orders, the hustle and bustle of the night, and the sound of the kitchen bell announcing completed orders, the staff take their time to explain dishes and provide you with great service. Supporting local is more than just visiting an establishment, it is getting to know the people that live and work in your community. This is exactly what this group of hard-working people do. We’ve been to many local places, where the servers recognize us, and will remember our general order. But no other place takes the time to really get to know your story and allowing you to get to know them. We’ve sat through countless meals sharing conversations and stories with the staff that make this place what it is. No matter what server you get, you’re in for a treat. Julie, the dedicated and loving coach, whose career expands through retirement, and different schools; Robert, who has already retired but has continued to work with the community in insurance sales; and Audrey serving younger generations at UTEP. Then we have Laura (the owner), who takes so much pride in her restaurant, and the food that comes out of her kitchen. The sauces and dough are made from scratch daily. You can follow the menu or get creative and start adding toppings to your dishes. Whether you’re craving pasta, pizza, Monteleone’s rolls, or Tortiglioni (a.k.a. Tort) with more toppings than you know what to do with, you can’t go wrong with anything. We can’t forget sweet Mrs. B, who makes delicious cakes, and keeps busy helping Laura and the crew in the kitchen. On Friday and Saturday nights, you’ll have a chance to hear Julie belting out a song whenever a pizza is ordered, and all three nights hearing the staff offer up Mrs. B’s cake for dessert. If you visit on a Friday night, you can request to sit in the bar area and listen to David Huerta sing the night away, taking requests no matter if English or Spanish. The music at a perfect volume, allowing for enjoyment and conversation. This is the reason why I couldn’t think of a better place to spend my 40th birthday. Thank you to Laura, Mrs. B, Julie, Robert, Audrey, Frances, David and the rest of the crew for an amazing evening. David even sang three different birthday songs! Pick the night and visit, introduce yourself, and feel the love that this place brings. You’ll feel like a regular, even though it’s your first time. It truly feels like you’re amongst friends and family. Don’t forget to follow their Facebook page for any schedule changes, specials, pictures of item menus, or secret phrases for appetizers!“
