Delivery was right on time, and Jay even helped set everything up so everything looked great and was ready to go. Most importantly, the food was absolutely delicious.

“We celebrated our anniversary last night at Graffiti Pasta. It was our first but definitely not our last dining experience there. From the moment we walked in the door to a very packed restaurant to the moment we left we were acknowledged & taken care of. Faith was our waitress & let me tell you, I have NEVER had a more amazing server. She knew so many things about the menu, was able to offer suggestions without being pushy, she was simply friendly, & just overall such a cool person. I would honestly come back just to see her. The meatball appetizer was our favorite part of the meal followed by the salad.“

“We went to early lunch. I ordered a regular meal and others ordered from the lunch menu. Portion size was excellent. Prices for appetizers and entres were more than I expected but Olive Garden isn't a charity after all. Our server was excellent.“

“The best Olive Garden location I been too. Been going to this location for 10 years now! The staff is so nice and very smart. They truly care and have great personalities. I order ToGo a lot and never once had an issue. I made a mistake on my order, selected the incorrect soup. The awesome young girl asked if I tried the incorrect one I picked out and I said no. She said its very good and to keep it and try it. Then she proceeded to get me the correct soup. This is top tier service in my book and will keep me coming back every month or more. The managers seem very awesome and support the staff from what I seen so far. They dont seem like just managers, they are leaders. Very happy!!!“

“We recently found Rosatti's and are thrilled, because we love Chicago style pizza. The manager is on top of things and everyone we've dealt with are professional yet friendly. They aim to please!

This location is strictly takeout.“

“I live in the area and was craving some good fajita beef tacos. This place did not dissapoint! The meat was so flavorful and the tortillas made from scratch are great.

“One if the best Pizzas I've had. that Crispy Cheesy Edge it unlike anything ive had before! This place is gonna make me fat for sure cuz its so good you want to keep tasting it! its a must have. omm!“

“Grimaldi's got its start in Brooklyn before spreading out around the country, including a handful of branches around Dallas. We recently dined at their this place at The Shops in Highland Village. This branch offers a large indoor seating area as well as a bar and is open from 11am until 10 or 11pm daily. They have a fairly typical menu of starter salads along with their signature thin-crust, coal-fired brick over pizzas which we found to be generally good during on the evening. Shared a couple of different varieties with custom topping choices, one of the pizzas crust was perfect, the other fairly soggy but overall it tasted good. Salad served up with our meal was similarly decent, nothing amazing nor bad - just decent salad. We thought the large pizzas made for good family-friendly and casual meal out with friends.“

“The example of true dedication!!! I'm tremendously impressed with this location, Jenn & Shane are ROCKSTARS! They were the only place open for food during this crazy ice storm... Not sure who owns this location, but they need to be praised/commended for their hard work.. Working with a broken finger, Jenn I hope you get some rest and relief this evening. God bless 💖🙏🏾“

“Great food and the owners are amazing 🤩“

“We used to order at Marco's Pizza when we lived at our former residence. That location was on I believe University St. Now in our present residence, on E. McKinney St. I figured that we could order at the one on Teasley, since it's not too far. Well, my beautiful sister ordered me a medium combination pizza along with some chicken wings in the amount of 15. When the order was what I asked for, the toppings were pepperoni, sausage, onions, bell peppers, and black olives with extra cheese. I received the pizza, ate it, and of course it was good, but going further, I found MUSHROOMS in it! I did not ASK for mushrooms-just what I asked for on the pizza! Come on now! This can not be this hard to understand what I want! Considering the fact that it's cut in squares, (which I don't like) y'all need to do better!“

“Food was amazing, absolutely love the bread sticks 😍😍, employees were nice & helpful, my order was ready when we walked in & my son & I sat to eat before heading to a movie. The bathroom was gross & being just before 12pm, there wasn't enough time for the trash to be full & everything needing to be wiped down in the hr they had been open, so it obviously wasn't cleaned the night before. Otherwise it was great, will go again.“

“I love this place. Great staff and delicious food. I recommend the house special pizza.“

“Best pizza in the world I love it.“

“Terrible food. They are a disappointment to Chicago pizza and the franchise. Poor ownership and management. I've reached out to not only the owners, but Rosati's corporate as well and both failed to address my concerns and complaints adequately. The pizza literally looks like it was pulled form the garbage and repurposed.“

“Pizza is amazing, I’m from the eastern shore of MD….reminds me of home. The pepperoni rolls are also fantastic!“

“The crew tonight was so sweet and thoughtful. I rarely grab pizza and I had two boys to feed after football practice. My awkward self couldn’t convey my gratitude😅💜🤦‍♀️ Keep it up guys! 💯“
