    Kids spaghetti
    Melody L.

    I had lunch here for the first time on Saturday. It's an average Italian restaurant. I got the eggplant parmigiana and it was good. It came with bread, house side salad and a side of spaghetti. The bread lacked flavor and needed more butter or garlic. The house salad was just ok. There is a separate kids menu and kids eat free on Tuesday night. My dining companions got the kids spaghetti and a cheese steak sub that came with fries. The fries seemed strange at an Italian restaurant. I didn't like the "$2 splitting fee" that was on every page of the menu. I've never seen that before at a restaurant. What's so bad about splitting a dish? There was also a fly that was buzzing around us while we were trying to eat.

    Wow! While at a friends they suggested ordering take out from here. I must admit I looked it up on yelp first and was a bit apprehensive, but they swore but it. The chicken parmesan was so good!! I get weary ordering dishes like that to go, but this was better than other recent chicken parmesan dishes I've had dining in. The chicken cutlet was thick and juicy and the sauce had a nice sweet finish. You can pay a small up charge for a side chef salad to accompany the chicken parmesan. All the ingredients were very fresh and I could see myself ordering a full size one next time. The pepperoni pizza was delicious. I'll definitely be coming here again!

    Attended bingo night at panuzzo's. Bingo is free Monday night. We made a reservation and went early to eat before playing bingo which starts at 6. The place was packed. It was also happy hour. Two for one wine, beer, cocktails. For dinner we enjoyed house salad with tasty balsamic vinaigrette. Lots of dressing. We shared a mushroom and sausage pizza which was good. Not spectacular. Thin crust, lots of toppings. Others tasted the eggplant parmesan, chicken marsala and Greek salad. the eggplant parmesan was good and a large portion. The chicken marsala had a funny taste, an unusual herb or something. Don't think we'll order that again. Tasted different than other marsalas we've tried. The Greek salad was enormous with lots of toppings. Service was good and our server checked in with us constantly. The mike in the game didn't work so it was very hard to hear which made the game frustrating and confusing. You win restaurant coupons for the most part which cannot be used that night.

    Great Beer and Pizza

    Last night was the first time trying Cafe Panuzzo's and had just a great experience! Ordered a medium pizza with two toppings and it was delish! The waiter was great and the ambiance is amazing! They have a lot of great deals and events during the week! Must check it out!

    Competitor- Chicken Picatta $14. Includes bread, dipping sauce and salad or soup.

They ferment their dough for 72 hours before serving. Most of their pizza menu is different from what passes for pizza in the US today, but it's nothing you haven't seen if you're a true pizza lover who appreciates authentic pies. You will find arugula, burrata, calabrese, and more here. If you can't find a pizza on the menu that ticks all your boxes, you can also make your own. In particular, for my ricotta lovers, I must insist you try their "star" pizzas where they pinch around the pizza edge to make little ricotta pouches. Think stuffed crust pizza only much, much better! The inside of the restaurant is nice, but definitely casual. Service was great. They do offer takeout and work with the DoorDash types but we found this pizza doesn't travel as well since it's so thin and chills quickly. Eat in if you can. The prices here are a bit higher than I would expect, especially since the toppings are a bit on the skimpy side, but that's really my only complaint. Definitely try this place out when you're craving REAL pizza!

They take reservations, but when I called I was told that they don't take them past three p.m. because they get incredibly busy. Judging by the quality of the food, that's not hard to believe. There's a series of appetizers available. We tried mussels and their fried calamari, and both were delicious. The portions are generous, so you can bring a large party and order a few to share. We were a party of six and we did fine with the two appetizers. There's also some bread that's complementary and comes with a delicious spread on the side! This alone is a great reason to visit here. Our mains also came with either a soup or salad. I had the Caesar salad, and it was great! Nice croutons with a light dressing and some shredded cheese. I ordered their carbonara for my mains. You can pick from a variety of pastas, such as spaghetti and linguine. I chose spaghetti, as I felt it would better absorb the sauce. The sauce was a nice creamy sauce served with prosciutto and had that classic carbonara flavor. Totally delicious! For drinks, they have many options, such as coffee and soda, as well as a wine selection. Great options for drinks in this place. The service is also great. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable and checked on us regularly. Overall, it's a fantastic restaurant. Great food and great service. You may want to plan ahead if you're going later in the day, as it looks like they don't take reservations past 3 p.m. as I understand it. If you must wait, though, I'd say it's worth it. I highly recommend this place!!

While their…read moremenu did appear to have some pretty decent options, I did not order any food because I was simply there to pass the time as I awaited my appointment at a neighboring salon. So, sadly, I cannot speak to the food, and for now, my rating will remain squarely in the middle until I have the opportunity to try their food options. With that said, my rating is also in the middle because the service was SLOW, SLOW, SLOW. While it was dinnertime, the restaurant itself was not super packed. I opted to sit at the bar and sat there for about 10 mins before anyone serviced me. Had I known it would have been that slow, I'd have gone to the restaurant next door. Again, I just wanted a beverage as I waited for my time to pass for my hair appointment at the salon in the same shopping plaza. By the time I got my house glass of pinot grigio, it was time to pay my tab and go to my appointment. So, much of the time was eaten up in simply waiting for a bartender to service me; I was a little put off. In fact, they did not find anyone to service the bar area until it was about three of sitting there. Anyways, despite that, the staff was actually very kind. They did apologize for the wait, but you know what they say about first impressions. While I won't be letting this deter me from actually giving them a proper try, I will keep this first experience in the back of my head. Despite this, the venue is spacious. They have ample indoor and outdoor seating. The bar seating is limited, but they have enough. The environment seemed lively and very family-friendly. Also, pricing is GREAT! Their entire menu is very reasonable - so that is a plus! It is located in a shopping plaza, so there is more than enough parking. Again, I'll be back to give them another try and see if they are able to sway my opinions any further.

You can take from this what you will. But I would never ever eat at this restaurant unless you want to be treated in this manner. What restaurant doesn't allow someone to use their phone in an emergency, then follows them outside to stare at them? All of these actions were definitely done because of a bias towards my partner. They showed their true colors. You could not pay me to eat there. The people who work there truly have disgraceful biases and horrible service.

This was my first time at Tratto and I already have made plans to return. My plans include trying another new-to-me pizza combination but no promises. I might get the pesto and mortadella on repeat for the foreseeable future. The pizzas can be ordered in Thin crust or Detroit style. I ordered my pizza as thin crust which was exceptional and my dining partner ordered a Detroit style with pepperoni and thoroughly enjoyed it. We both had enough leftovers to take home for another meal. This restaurant accepts reservations. The service was attentive and efficient.

Granted it was Saturday night, but it took quite a while for a server to come by to our table initially. However, when he did he was very nice and apologetic.

The presentation was gorgeous! In my opinion, it was the show stopper of the evening. My chicken parm came out, and it was by far the largest portion of chicken parm I have ever had! It could easily be shared (and was) and still have some to take home (and I did!). The tableside cheese wheel presentation was about the same as I've seen before at the H. The only set back was he had the cheese prepared, but had to wait on the pasta to come out. Not a seamless show, but the pasta was pretty tasty with the fresh cheese. We also got a Detroit style cheese pizza that had a tremendous cheese pull! One thing I can say about Tratto is they definitely use quality cheese. The only cheese I wasn't crazy about was the burrata. Tratto provided a tasty successful dinner. Would I drive 30 mins to go again? Probably not, but still recommend checking it out. I would go again if I lived closer.
