Literally round of applause to the entire staff, front and back of house!…read more Valet set the tone on arrival. Warm greeting, friendly, incredibly efficient and didn't mind answering my questions at all. (complimentary but we love to tip for great efficient service right guys?) Immediately upon entry i was warmly greeted by Vicky and Destiny. I'd already decided on bar seating and they were more than happy to show me the way to get settled. The bar was a fantastic choice, Avery, Cam and Alex crushed it! From maintaining the flow of the restaurants beverages to their lone bar guest with lots of questions (me lol), they handled everything to perfection while giving stellar recommendations. Their menu knowledge both beverage and bar is impressive. Kudos in that regard for sure. My goodness, i should've gotten the chefs name because every single bite was impeccable. The buratta bruschetta and tagliatelle are unlike any I've had before anywhere else! By the time i was stuffed full i still had leftovers which they graciously boxed for me, i wasn't leaving it at all lol. Kudos to the beverage director as well, the spring cocktails are on the money! I tried the Collette Spritz, Tramanto Sour and Old Corpse reviver. Of the 3, the spritz is surprisingly my favorite. I'm not a beer gal and sometimes don't enjoy Aperol but every ingredient blended well. Try it, trust me, Avery and Cam, those were some of their suggestions! The manager Leo is very kind and personable, i appreciate the brief convo we had. Miss Destiny, You're knocking it out of the park! From the flow of the restaurant, to the ambiance, to staff engagement, to plain ole convo and customer service i have ZERO complaints and overflowing compliments. I wish i had more names because i to drop, Tristan and one other male server that came by the bar were also very kind. I will definitely be making the drive back out! Thank you guys for an incredible Easter Sunday brunch experience. Please never stop being exactly who you are

The location recently expanded its dining room, giving the location an even more authentic cozy dining feel. The associates are all very attentive. Our waitress for instance walked by regularly to check in on us while other associates also came by and asked if we needed anything. My husband and I have visited this place many times and have tried multiple items off the menu. On this visit we shared a salad and appetizer and each had our own "main course." We shared a small Greek Salad which was quite large if you ask me. The flavor on this salad is what I will ramble on about to anyone that wants to hear about where they can get an authentic salad of this caliber. We also shared the Spinach and Artichoke dip which was really yummy and very creamy. My husband ordered Stromboli (he took half of it home), and I ordered a slice of Sicilian Pizza (topped with pepperoni, jalapeños, and spinach). So great, especially for the price paid!

Wow, what a difference since my first visit! I ordered lunch to go, and have several comments…read more.. First, the seating area is now 3X the size as my initial visit and way to go on the upgrades. The lighting is appropriate, pictures on the walls and it actually smells like a neighborhood NY Italian restaurant. It appears that you've invested in your place as you've grown. Second, this might be the best Italian Hero I've had in recent memory. Great flavor, authentic ingredients and good balance. Nice job, Johan, and quick service as well. Lastly, Johns Creek doesn't have enough inexpensive quality places to eat. I mean, the list for, "how to spend at least $100 on dinner" is lengthy for this part of town. I might be a couple years late, but you'll definitely see us again. Now, let's work on that wine list... Cheers!

Well, get the word out, this place doesn't need to a secret! It was outstanding from top to bottom! Upon arriving we were warmly greeted by Chris, and then taken great care of by our server, Ryleigh. She was wonderful to guide us through our meal and all of her selections were delicious. We started off with the calamari, then had the crab soup and house salad. For entrees we had the mushroom ravioli and shrimp scampi. Everything was amazing, especially the crab soup and mushroom ravioli. We finished with the butterscotch crème brûlée which was also very yummy. Loved the feel of the room, very open. Can't wait to go back again and try something else on the menu!

We ordered takeout and while the meatballs were delicious and the veal Marsala and Caesar salad…read morewere also very good I could only give 4 stars because I can't comment about the service, etc since we didn't dine in. In addition, I didn't care for the ten layer lasagne as there was way too much dough and barely any sauce. More sauce would've helped some but still too much dough. I'd say five layers would provide a similar presentation as the slices do look lovely and the same can be achieved with less layering and more filling and sauce. I will eat in next time to get a better feel for the ambiance! And try something else! I have always loved Crust's menu so I'm sure I'll like more things here too.

We were seated outside, where we noted cheap wine glasses and plastic Coca Cola cups. I asked our waiter if they had filtered water, and his response was not impressive or professional. "Uhh... I mean, well... I think it just tastes like water... I don't know how they filter the water but it's fine." Dude, it's a yes or no question: 'yes, we have a filter for it,' or 'no ma'am, it comes from the tap.' Throughout the service we could tell he was not being attentive or personable, if we said anything off script he didn't know how to react. We ordered the house salad because of how it was described, but when it arrives, we were shocked at the presentation and quality. We told the server about the disappointment of having only four slices of radish on the salad when it was listed as a main ingredient and he did nothing to remedy that. The chef could also consider mixing all of the ingredients together so it is a harmonious marriage of salad, not just arugula with a sprinkle of pine nuts, drizzle of dressing, FOUR radishes and a handful of pre shredded, from the bag Parmesan. The least you could do is hand grate it. Now to the pizza- they are very large and the crust has nice flavor and a good crunch. The Bianca sauce was very heavy and greasy; tasted like it came out of a jar. That was our least favorite item by far. The bbq chicken was decent, however the Gouda cheese they used had a very cow aftertaste, and there were cubes of the cheese all around, which were rubbery and not good to chew. We couldn't tell if the sharp tang came from the tip of bbq sauce they used or some cleaner leftover on the chicken. It's sad, because Crust came recommended highly to us and we were excited to try it out. Overall, our meal was very disagreeable and we will not be back.

We came here for dinner and did the Yurt experience, something available during the holiday season…read more They book three groups a night, one at 4pm, 6pm, and 8pm. The yurt was located on the restaurants patio, and was decorated for Christmas. There were lights and a wreath on the inside, as well as blankets in case it got chilly. There was a flap as the door that looked like it closed, but ever did because waiters were frequently entering. I thought that there would be multiple yurts, but we were the only one. From where I sat, I was in the direct line of vision of another guest outside of the yurt, eating on the patio, which was a little awkward. It was not as private as it seemed. We came for the 6pm time slot, and the guests who were there at 4pm were taking a while so we weren't sat until around 6:30pm. We got lucky with the weather and it wasn't cold, but I could see that being a point of concern very quickly. As previously mentioned, they do provide blankets. We started with the Charcuterie board, and it was exceptional. It says on the menu that it feeds two, but I think it could feed three if you're not starving. There was one cheese that was in a coating of what seemed to be nuts, and that was the star of the show. For the entree, I got the Cacio e Pepe with chicken. The pasta was creamy and very cheesy (!) and there was substantial amount of chicken. I got full about half way through, and took the rest to-go. Although there were some hiccups, this was an enjoyable, novelty dinner, and I would recommend.
