“Cold beer good food great wine selection perfect for my Monday night bike crew“

“Had the best dinner the other night! All of our food was hot, the breadsticks were warm and soft and the best part was our server. Camacho (our server) was very attentive, polite and brought our food out quickly! He made the entire night for my family with his hospitality. I would request his sections!Thanks for a great night!“

“As a customer; they are amazing. The food is fresh. I happen to know the manager. He personally preps dough and fresh veggies himself daily. Shoutout to the ones that keep the ship afloat; managers Blake and Mary.As an employee; this where the disconnect lies. Lazy management outside this store leaves room for undesirable behavior from some. Wanna-be leaders are allowed to train and make an impression on new-hires. Complacency brings laziness; further crippling sales and customer service by being consistently short-staffed and improperly inventoried. Likely bleeding money at every neglect. Not to mention causing burnout and taking advantage of the good employees that really care.I was a driver; reported to hr being bullied by another employee and then was wrongly terminated, rehired the next day only to be fired the following week over a $2 mistake on a customer tip and her nasty review on here. The incident was never investigated. I was never given the opportunity to rectify or even discussed. I don’t even know that the bad review was replied to. Oh and the bully still works there. Reports of verbal abuse were investigated and investigated and investigated for months with no resolution. I continued to be forced to work with my bully for months.$2 tip mistake=goneMale abuser=still employedVegetarian options: And gluten-free crust options.Kid-friendliness: It’s pizza! No alcoholic beverages sold here. Clean restrooms and high chairs.“

“Mimo has easily become our favorite Italian dining experience. From the moment we walked in to our reservation we were greeted with a smile, true professionals. Our server went above and beyond, offered recommendations and really took care of us. The food was impeccable you can taste the quality of the made from scratch dishes, and the portions were perfect. We sat in the patio on a beautiful Sunday evening we shared a few appetizers including Fritters, the crochette, my daughter had the gnocchi, and my wife and I shared the costasa (ribeye). Everything was delicious, thank you to the kind staff at Mimo.“

“Cant give enough stars to this place! Incredible food-both delicious and nutritious as well as unique and original dishes. AND great service by the awesome Staff. thanks so much to you all for a wonderful meal and experience.“

“Dominos did me dirty for the last time!!!!! So I searched for pizza places around me and found this joint on Yelp. Based on the reviews I was like ..... okayyyyyy let me check it out. Pizza was AMAZING !!!!!! The crust, not chewy at all. Soft and great quality meats !!! I loved it !!!!! I will def become a regular and get all my pizzas from here .“

“Great food at a nice local restaurant. We've had pretty much everything on the menu and its all good. The only problem we've ever had is the temperature. I'm guessing the windows make it hard to keep the temperature even. Sometimes its warm, other times its freezing.As far as the food goes, you can't go wrong, all of it is great.Parking: Small lot, so when everything in the center is open it can be a little tight.Kid-friendliness: Lots of options for kids.“

“In a small, converted home on Center Street in DP is one of the best Italian food restaurants I've been to (and that includes Italy, other European countries and even NY). The owner always greets with a smile and the staff are onboard with the mission. The cost is affordable and this mainstay of our community will be here as long as they continue their great service and wonderful food as they always have. I recommend the lasagne and any dish made with the lemon cream sauce (so good!). I'll be back soon, and often.“

“Always thoughtful and the food is fresh and home cooked…. Both a romantic and a family environment. I’ve been patronizing for at least 10 years and have not been disappointed!“

“The best rainbow trout I've had. perfect in every way. Staff are cool along with managers. Great atmosphere and bar. The fresh homemade pasta will melt in your mouth. This place Rocks.....“

“I love this place and am working at trying everything on the menu, but the pizzas are so good, I have a hard time. It is perfectly foldable with wonderful crust, and I find myself eating every crumb! I highly recommend it and don't forget to order a desert (cannolis are great).“

“I just had an excellent pepperoni, Italian sausage, and mushroom pizza lunch at George's Pizzeria. It was an 8" personal pizza which filled me up, perfectly baked with generous toppings, and a tasty crust which was not too large or too chewy. I've been coming to George's since George himself ran it at the gas station (early '90s) and I'll be coming back! Price was very reasonable, too!“

“Amazing food. Great service. A must.“

“So the place is great for the most part, the only reason why I give it a 4 star is because the food and service is a hit or miss on it being goodParking: There is plenty of space when it's not busy, but obviously when it is there is a bit of a hard time“

“Being born and raised North of Detroit and JETS being one of my favorite home town pizzas, I was nervous it wouldn’t be the same, but this location really exceeded my expectations! We had a large order that we traveled from Baton Rouge to get, it was ready on time, cooked correctly, and had that perfect grease soaked, crunch. If we are ever around this location again, we will definitely be back. Great job team and THANK YOU.“

“Every time we come here the staff is friendly and always smiling. The food good, always fresh. Love the salad bar recommendation the sampler and the pizza , lasagna and the cheesecake very good. My favorite spot to eat Italian.“

“Can't stress enough how much I enjoy Pomodoro's of Clear Lake which is in a strip mall with plenty parking and wheelchair access. The interior is cozy and always reminds me of Italy and is excellent in all areas!! Like the "complimentary" garlic and olive oil spread are always delicious, and I have never had a bad meal. Service was professional, fast & friendly and our bartender / server checked in on us frequently Shoutout to the "owner: who is nothing but "awesome" she always is checking to make sure everything is to our satisfaction, which makes it a wonderful experience. The pizza, appetizers, and the main course meals are fresh and have been "fantastico" which came out quickly, coffee and the sangria were yummy. Seriously! I cannot wait to go back and enjoy more of their delicious food at a very reasonable price for such quality, I have eaten Italian food in Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, Rome, Naples and truthful can say absolutely, this is my favorite Italian restaurant in America to date!! Lastly, The restrooms were perfectly clean.“

“Thank you for your service for those of us who do not speak the English language, the food was on time and hot, the salad was delicious, etc. I will not finish, only that twice they left us in El Olvido, that is, they did not serve us on time. And I don't think there is a photo ? we fill up Well later. Muto GracieKid-friendliness: Change pasta, they don't like the shells with cheese.“
