Anthony VatterottMay 25, 2013Fantastic! Excellent staff and they watch soccer so you know it's real! Also the prosciutto panini was mouth watering good!
Great pizza and our Greek salad was delicious. I saw several different entrees and salads on other tables and they look excellent. The portions are very large!
Joe MichalskiJuly 21, 2014Love this place!! Pizza is excellent, apps are delicious, service is always friendly and personal. I have never had a bad meal. Some grouchy reviewers wouldn't be happy anywhere....
Awesome Italian food. Great pizza. Try the Eggplant main course - simply fabulous. Made the old style way without breadcrumbs.
Oswaldo GodoyOctober 15, 2017Smoked salmon pizza is a must! Great pasta selection, service is outstanding! We love it, we’ll be back for sure...
Pete Van BaalenMarch 9, 2014Sit at the bar; bartenders do a great job. Everything looks great, but I can't get past their pizzas. Can't go wrong with one of them.
John PaterakisFebruary 6, 2018Wonderful red sangria. Excellent pizza and pasta. Linguini Bolognese first rate!
Caisie HaynesSeptember 16, 2012Shrimp pizza is amazing.. Only wish they would put more shrimp on and take the tails off :) otherwise fantastic spot!!- Deborah "Deb" LambAugust 6, 2013Great salad with sausage, prosciutto, olives, cheese and fresh greens. Yum!
Connor GJuly 18, 2016Wide selection of pastas and great pizza! You'll find something you want to eat no matter what.
Tanner DanielMarch 15, 2012New favorite place in St Armonds. So easy. Great food. Quick service. Trendy. Screw the hoity–toity Columbia across the circle!!!- Annie AlfstadAugust 22, 2014Great little Italian tapas spot, right in the circle! Also has outdoor seating.
Jennifer AllgaierSeptember 20, 2013Love the stuffed mushrooms and greek pizza! Wash it down with an ice cold beer or Sangria.
The Chef Salad is amazing. Why doesn't everyone put sausage on salad?
Great service, great food the pizza is outstanding! Ask for Betsy from Hungary.
Clarissa AngelicaSeptember 1, 2011Actually I take that delicious back! The generous portions I spoke of came at a price. They added $3 to our bill without mentioning it.
David MarkFebruary 26, 2013Pesto Della Nonna White Pizza with Mozzarella, Pesto, and fresh Tomato. Tasty with a Negro Modelo.
The traditional woodfired pizza is seriously good. Closest to the pizza in mom and pops shops in Italy I've ever had. Reasonable price and plenty for 2 people.
Karla MendizabalJuly 30, 2011Their Greek salad is awesome! And their meats pizza perfect! A great lunch shared between 2!
Nattawat ApibalJanuary 14, 2011caparese napoli is awesome, so is mussels sauteed. i love Nicole, she's the best server here!
Benjamin JancewiczMay 20, 2010Sooooo good. Best prices, excellent quality of food... Get the four cheese pasta or crab penne if you can. Sooooo good.
Fernanda U.May 7, 2012Service is great, but the food not so much. Calamari was too battered and the salads are just a slab of fish and a bunch of lettuce and a gross 'out-of-the-bottle' dressing taste. Was nothing special.
Tony AhrensFebruary 11, 2017Not as good as other places on main street. Was good in the past, not so much anymore... Not authentic Italian anymore...
Meg WalshDecember 27, 2011Don't go!!! Service is atrocious!! They refuse to take names when it gets crowded and allow obnoxious people to take tables before those that have actually waited. Plus the food is average, at best.
Mary SippelMay 2, 2013We are a party of 6. They only served 4 of us and then left. Four paid and ate. Two they forgot without any drink comp.
Antonio RoigAugust 24, 2013Ordered the lasagna... Middle was still frozen... Ice cold.... Huge disappointment. Microwaves should never be on a restaurant. Server was great thought. Bummer..
- Rick LoopSeptember 10, 2011Found a piece of cardboard cooked into my pizza. Manager took 10% off my check.
Mindy HagwoodJune 7, 2013Dot eat here..lady said to my 3 year old who had to go potty..."Columbia doesn't have a bathroom?"
