    Looking for a good Mexican food place in the area. Saw El Centro and stumbled in. The place was clean and inviting. The waitress Dawn was pleasant and attentive. Unfortunately that is where the 2 star review peaks. The food was bland at best and confusing most of the time. The chips and salsa looked good but tasted like an oregano seasoned marinara sauce. I love salsa of every variety and consistency but this was bizarre. My chili Relleno and cheese enchilada were perfectly ordinary but that's it. My date had the tostada salad which was underwhelming in both size and flavor.

    I've been eating at both of the locations (El Puente too) for many years, I have never had a bad meal. Not once. Nice folks.

    What a great find!! My husband and I decided to go ona random road trip. We decided that whatever…read moreplace we chanced upon to eat we will stop at. At first we were getting worried because for each town we passed through, there were no place to eat and we choose not to fast food food chains. Kept driving and then found the cute town of Keyser. We actually passed this restaurant but because the outside look of the restaurant kinda drew our attention, so we u-turned and went in. So first things first, you have to order & pay first before sitting in, there is a counter as soon as you enter. The place is a bit small, they had about 10 tables, four chairs a piece. Looking at the menu, I must say they are pretty cheap for italian. We are used to a little more pricier in our area so we were a little worried the portions were going to be small, but I was so hungry I didn't care. My husband got the Chicken Parmesian $13.50 and I got the Baked Ziti with Meat $11.50. Each plate is served with a salad and bread. Salad came out first, it was a big salad. Ask for the house salad dressing, it is like a vinaigrette with spices, really good. Then they brought the bread and butter, one full roll for each of us, was really warm. Really soft and oh so good. Then came out the plates meals. Omgeeeee...... I thought they gave us too much but no! That is how they serve their meals. My husband's plate looked like there was a pound of spaghetti and tons of mozzarella all over the plate. As he swirled the noodles, he saw that there was layer after later of cheese and sauce. Plus 3 chicken parmesan cutlets. Most places dont give that much. And mine.....let me tell you... my meal was so heavy I was rolling laughing. Each scoop of pasta was coated with mozzarella cheese and meat with sauce. Everything was delicious!!! But we couldn't finish our plates, so we took it home. We also had to try their Limoncello with Mascarpone filling cake. It was super soft, full of flavor and so worth it. Must get it!! But I believe it's not an everyday dessert so it might be different on different days. So keep and eye out for the small sign of Dessert of the Day. So keep in mind, huge portions!! One order can feed 2 or 3. This place is a gem and I'm so glad we chanced it. A must go to, you won't regret it!!

    Amazingly large portions. Great taste and service. A must when in the area. Breadsticks are the…read morebest

From the moment we walked in, the ambiance set the mood perfectly--dim lighting, warm and inviting, with Sinatra Christmas tunes playing softly in the background. It felt charming and intimate, especially welcome given the extremely cold temperatures outside. Our waitress was incredibly friendly and attentive, checking on us regularly without ever feeling intrusive. The cocktails were excellent and did a great job warming us up, which was very much appreciated. The food was absolutely amazing. Everything we tried was rich and flavorful, with a standout Gorgonzola sauce that was truly delicious. The creamy burrata with pesto and balsamic was perfectly balanced, and the scallops were easily some of the most delicious we've had--cooked beautifully and full of flavor. Ristorante Ottaviani is such a comfortable, charming place to enjoy high-quality Italian food. A wonderful spot for a relaxing, special meal, and we're already looking forward to going back.

We were immediately welcome upon entry and quickly got seated. Service was good, very straight to the point. We ordered the artery clog and the BBQ chicken pizza (when you order a pizza you can split half and half). Both pizzas were very good but I will say the crust on the BBQ chicken was a little doughy. Over the taste of the pizza was very good but I will say I didn't think it was anything special. Just good pizza. It wasn't like amazing or a must have but if you're in the area it is a good place to eat. If I could give it 3.8 stars I would but 4 works! Hope this helps!

It was middle of week during off season so it was not very busy. Ordered waters to drink and our Red Lodge pie. I took a little bite to get pie but it came out very hot. There is parmesian cheese and red pepper on tables to spread on your food. My wife and I both thought the pie was lacking in flavor. We could hardly make out the individual vegie flavors and the chicken was bland. There seemed to be a good amount of ingredients on it and grust was medium thickness with good flavor. Service was good, several staff checked in with us during our meal.
