    Raise your prices instead of nickle and diming your customers. This is really very tacky. It is posted before you walked in, but since i am dining with friends, i went along anyway, if it was just me i would have not gone in. This is a big turn off right away. On the plus side at least they let you know before you enter. As a business you should factor in the rising cost of things, cost of goods sold, fuel... whatever. Increase your price if you want, i would rather pay a higher price because i know you have to make money and everything else is expensive. Food is ok, tastes like cafeteria pizza nothing special. The ambiance looks like a very old diner. It's not worth it and adding surcharges is very tacky. I will never support a business that nickle and dime their customer.

    Soup?
    Benjamin P.

    As you can see, I never leave bad reviews. But I was absolutely livid after being ripped off by D'Amore's after spending $60 on delivery last night. I was too tired and disappointed to deal with them. So here I am. We ordered a medium ($25) specialty meatlovers pizza, garlic knots, and a bowl of minestrone soup. The pizza was thin crust that tasted like cardboard when I was expecting something resembling Neapolitan or actual Italian pizza. I grew up on very thin, cracker-like pizza. Even that would've been fine. This was not. Some toppings like the ham were loosely tossed on top and not actually baked into the pizza. The pizza arrived cold, and the sausage and pepperoni were very chewy. The sauce had congealed like it had sat for a while. We deemed it inedible after one slice each. The minestrone was an embarrassment for any Italian, including my husband, who gave up on it. Was it vegetable soup? It barely resembled any minestrone either of us have ever had. Did I mention my Italian in-laws? The bread knots were great, that is, the ones that weren't burnt to a crisp (4 were). I thought maybe they'd still taste okay. They did not. It was hard to understand how they were made so unevenly. Two stars because the other knots were good and the delivery driver was nice and arrived early. Otherwise, one. Extremely disappointed and sad.

    Our first visit here! I'm SO in love with their Margherita Pizza, the FLAVOR and the thin crispy crust, something about it.. we also ordered good ol' spaghetti w/meatballs and Italian salads (their creamy dressing is INCREDIBLE)! The place is VERY clean with a nice patio, service was awesome!

    Thick crust Combination Pizza

    We ordered the thick crust pizza for take out. What I think is really great is that when you arrive, they throw the pizza back in the oven to finish cooking. Then you really get it hot and fresh! There is a sign at the host station that tells you that they cook your pizza to about 80% done and then throw it back in the oven when you arrive to finish it off. The downside to this is that you'll never just walk in and pick up your pizza, but the best part is that it will always be hot and fresh. We liked the thick crust Sicilian style pizza. It works well with their pizzas that have a lot of meat toppings because it holds up well.

    Caprese Salad (half)
    Tina K.

    If your looking for an Italian restaurant with a great variety of authentic plates, look no further. I am a sucker for pasta & I always love it here. I wanted to start my meal with a Caprese Salad which Polly said they didn't have in the smaller appetizer portion. Well no worries, nothing I can do about that. Just a few minutes later she walks back & says they can make it. It's small gestures like this that attract me to return to a business. Clean, great food, awesome staff, I cannot think of one negative thing about this restaurant!

    Half size antipasto, served with a garlic knot. Dressing is bomb.com

    When I lived in the area 9+ years ago, my friend and I were regulars for lunch. We always got 1 or 2 slices with a salad. Supposedly their pizza is made with water flown in from either Boston or New York (cant remember which) to give it that authentic taste. It is different than most other pizzas around and I think it is good but not jaw dropping. What I love the most is their Salad and the dressing they serve with it. I'm not sure what it is, but it tastes like a mix of Italian and Ceasar. I could bathe in it! You also get a garlic knot which is very delightful, dipped in dressing. I was visiting this weekend and my friend and I stopped in around 1:45. There was one other party there and it was fairly quiet inside. We were greeted immediately, sat at a booth, and our server said hello the second we sat down. The slightly weird thing is he did it all in spanish and even though I answered in English, he continued to speak spanish... not a complaint, just a little odd. Anywho, he took our order and the host served us the rest of the meal. I ended up with a small antipasto salad. Never had it before but the picture sold me. It was so good, exactly what I imagined and hit the craving I had for their dressing without being a plain ceasar. My one qualm today, my friend ordered minestrone. The broth of it looked at tasted like water, and there was no pasta in it, just vegetables. She had a couple bites but didn't eat it because it wasn't good and the server (remember it was the host now) didn't notice and inquire. Overall, good experience and good food.

    We started our unplanned day in Camarillo Old Town with lunch at Freda's Pizza. Yelp reviews said…read moreit gets busy during the weekends, so we arrived right when they opened. There were a couple people already waiting in line when we arrived, but no one at the register. After a few more minutes the people ahead of us got tired of waiting and left. We had already had our minds set on a few menu items to try so we waited. The team member who took our order was very nice but a bit slow at the register. We weren't in a rush, so it didn't really bother us. The husband was quite hungry, so we ended up over-ordering -- House Chips & Cheese, Potato Bacon Pizza, Short-Rib Melt and Pastrami. It all came our pretty fast and it was ALOT (lol)! The House Chips were generous, fresh and tasty. The Potato Bacon pizza was delicious! The sandwiches, although flavorful, were kinda skimpy. We felt that we were biting into mostly bread. The fries were hot and super crispy. Service was great overall. There's a flat screen TV in the middle of the dining room that was showing college football. I liked that takeout boxes for leftovers were easily accessible to everyone. There's ample seating inside and several picnic tables at the shared area outside. The layout is nice with three connected establishments -- Freda's, Rori's and Topa Topa. Something for the entire family! :)

Salads are big and they have a variety. Service is hit or miss to be honest. I've gone and it's been spot on, quick, and attentive. I've also gone and it's take 45 minutes for one pizza to be made. I think they have gone through new employees over the years and when it's new employees working the service can be slow. I know one time I was in there and the kid behind the register was going snails pace...unfortunately this was on the local college's graduation day so the place was packed. I should have known better. Like any place, try to go during non-peak hours. Easier said than done with work and such. We just went on a Friday at opening (12pm) and the service was fantastic. We like to sit outside in the covered patio. Parking is awful as the Blvd is always busy. Just have to pray and try to time it out nicely. I do appreciate that Freda's is next to and in same building as Rori's ice cream and Topa Topa Brewing. Pizza, ice cream, and beer/hard seltzer/ciders. And Cafe Ficelle is also next door so add good iced coffee to the mix! Good combination for a couple of hours with friends and the kids.

It just doesn't hit the same. Not sure it is the crust or sauce but something is off.

    Uh nope. Came back to this place today and had a completely different experience than in the past…read more The pizza was gross, burnt and tasted like a 7/11 pizza that sat under a heat lamp. There's nowhere to sit which is crazy to me considering the quality of the food. Eventually you have to opt to sit at a dirty table and clean it yourself. The pizza is overpriced and extremely overrated, probably due to the lack of option in the area. My party and I all looked at each other and said we won't be coming back. Even my kid didn't like his cheese pizza, eating just 1 slice and taking the cheese off. I was extremely disappointed as this was nowhere near my last experience. The only reason I'm giving 2 stars is because the salad bar was a nice options and well stocked. What's worse is I'm not sure what's greasier, their pizza or the hand soap in their restroom. I tried to wash the grease off my hands only to be left with another film coating the previous grease instead of washing it off. Overall it wasn't a good experience. Well that's this critic's review, until next time, I'll be eating.
