“Fabulous staff, delicious food, spot on cocktails (amazing negronis) not to mention wine special.“

“Went here on a trip with my sister and mom and we had the best service ever. Friendly servers and an amazing atmosphere. The rigatoni alla vodka was the best I’ve ever had and I highly recommend the smoked scallops and roasted chicken as well. Just great service and atmosphere. The music was a huge plus as well. Makes me wanna visit DC again 100%“

“I had the absolute best experience at my birthday brunch thanks to our amazing waiter, Pablo! He went above and beyond to make the day feel extra special — from his kind attitude to his incredible attention to detail. He was so attentive, friendly, and genuinely made us feel welcomed and celebrated. I truly appreciate the great service, and I highly recommend anyone dining here to ask for Pablo if you can. He really made the whole experience unforgettable!“

“Thank you so much to Martha, Tom, Jason, Sarah, and the entire team who made my gathering at Alta today so special!! Martha really went above and beyond by arranging to have the surprise decor, balloon bouquet, and party favors for my guests and me! I was so overwhelmed by her thoughtfulness.“

“For my out of towers its in a food hall and not brick and mortar. I wasn't aware. I came due to insta. The food was great. Fresh bouncy noods, marinara was ok but the Calabrian chili oil sets it off. It was spicy and flavorful. The meatballs are not freshly made and taste processed. It was an "OK" pasta meal. Nothing major or fancy.“

“Ordered Korean spicy Noodle soup with side order bread, soup was the BOMB, on the other hand with the bread was sliced“

“Vocellis is always and consistently great, the pizza is fast and very high quality, the brief experiences with the employees at this location have always been very nice and considerate, leading to quick and convenient ordering. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone local or visiting. Hopefully this place is here for the long run!“

“My husband Adam is on chemo for pancreatic cancer. Today was the first time in three weeks he felt up to going out. Because of the chemo, he has changes in taste and unexpected issues with food textures. The manager replaced his first meal with something he could tolerate and enjoy when he realized he couldn’t eat his usual favorite menu item. Excellent and caring service. The manager himself delivered my Adam’s replacement meal. Thanks so much, it is a little thing but made our day much brighter!“

“We have eaten here several times as a family and it never gets old. My kids order the grilled chicken and broccoli which seems strange for kids to want but they truly do enjoy it. I order the pot stickers with my meal which are very good as well. You can't go wrong with what you order here because you can order it how you like it and they are very accommodating to your preferences. The service is always quick and they are always very kind. Definitely a good choice for lunch or dinner.“

“I wish the Rt18, East Brunswick hadn’t closed. We miss them“

“New Mosaic location just opened and it’s great. The pizza is fantastic, actually cooked with some nice crisp and char like the northern pizza snob in me likes. I also had a chicken parm sub that was fantastic. Haven’t tried the cold subs yet but there’s always tomorrow hah. The location is great on the bend of District Ave looking out down the street and they smartly installed a retractable front wall that can be opened for open air on nice days/evenings (or if Covid decides to play some more games here in the future). Also some select patio seating which is nice as well!“

“Totally awesome place, good,and great staff. Totally recommend 😘😘😘😘😘👋👋👋👋👋“

“I have ordered eggplant parmesan dishes for decades, all over the country. I had never had it in a sandwich before today when I popped into Santucci's, an institution in Four Corners. The eggplant parmesan sandwich was the best thing I have eaten in quite some time! I wanted to compliment the chef and was delighted to learn that he was one of the new owners, who has plans for updating the restaurant, while keeping the loyal customers satisfied. Micah Charles, from Trinidad, is incredibly talented! He mentioned that he had freshly breaded my eggplant dish and it was mouthwateringly excellent! I look forward to big things from this Montgomery County institution that is under new leadership from a fresh generation of talented culinary artists! My companion was pleased with his tried-and-true Italian cold cut sub (the restaurant's most popular offering), which he has ordered there for many years. I love buying the Italian grocery items (including frozen fresh pasta) to have on hand for home cooked meals, as well. Bravo, Micah! This could emerge as a real-life Montgomery County, Maryland version of Hulu's "The Bear" television show. It sure shows promise!“

“The food is as expected but the service is why I am leaving this review. Ly was busy doing many things but simultaneously noticed me waiting, provided patience as I decided, and held a calm and polite disposition. I waited for my meal in my car, and before I made it past the door to pick it up, he met me with my order in his hands. Almost as if he would bring it to my car, when that was not the service requested. That went above my expectations and for that he should get a raise!“
