Anyway, the food is really good, the burgers are cooked to order and they are very tasty. I've also had the French dip, and it is really good too. The fries are cooked perfectly and they have Poutine as well, which I love! My wife just gets one of the salads and she says they are fresh and delicious. For a small place, they have an interesting menu- Kielbasa and pierogies are on it, which is something my mother in law always made, so I'll try that on my next visit, and they also have a seasonal menu. They have ice cold beers and a large selection of drinks, a small bar you can sit at and tvs all around, so please, stop in and give it a try. You'll be happy you did.

Went here with some friends who actually recommended it from friends and Yelp…read more The exterior looked like the Italian restaurants you find in a larger city, trying hard to be noticed. The interior was in the same motif, an old school Italian restaurant that's been around for awhile. We had reservations and were sat immediately. Our server came over to our table almost immediately. He was friendly, professional and friendly and explained the menu and his recommendations. Even though the appetizers looked amazing, we opted to just order entrees as they came with a salad and pasta. We ordered 2 Chicken Parm's with a Caeser salad side and their homemade Tagliatelle pasta, Bronzino special and a Pasta (homemade linguine). I was one of the Chicken Parm's. DAMN, it was excellent! Very large portions of chicken and pasta with a tomato sauce that was absolutely one of the best I've ever had in a restaurant! It was thick, tasty and clung to the pasta and Parm. I HATE ordering pasta in a restaurant that isn't drained properly and the plate is a puddle with food sitting in it-and this WAS NOT the case! It was a big ass tasty platter of delicious food. The other plates were as large and delicious! For dessert, I had the Espresso Affogato, again DELICIOUS!!! I WILL be back to try some of the other dishes as, for me, unless they do a really good chicken parm, I won't go on!! Great job by the staff! Our table was constantly bussed, waters refilled and making sure we were satisfied.

Unfortunately, this is a one and done restaurant for me, and not one I would recommend. Sorry no…read morepictures! We were seated right away, and our server was attentive, almost a little too attentive at times that we felt rushed. The atmosphere was nice, but the restaurant is small, difficult to move around, and the lighting was darker than I prefer. We started with the fried calamari and meatballs. The calamari was good, but the meatballs were disappointing. They were about the size of golf balls which is ok but lacked flavor. For our entrees, we ordered the penne alla vodka, chicken parmesan, gnocchi, and I had the spaghetti special that was finished in a cheese wheel tableside. The presentation was fun, but the food itself just didn't live up to it. The marinara sauce across the dishes was bland, the gnocchi was forgettable, and my spaghetti portion was surprisingly small, more like an appetizer than an entrée. I almost always take leftovers home from Italian restaurants because the portions are generous and the food is rich. This time, there was nothing left because there wasn't much there to begin with. The biggest disappointment was the bread. When I go to an Italian restaurant, I expect warm, crusty Italian bread. Instead, it tasted like ordinary sliced sandwich bread. I actually like Publix bread, but that's not what I'm looking for with an Italian meal. Overall, nothing was terrible, but nothing stood out either. For the prices, I expected much more flavor, better portions, and a more authentic Italian experience.

Looked like cafeteria size so I was worried. Tasted great maybe a little Less breadcrumbs. 1-10 (7). My wife had the chicken parm and had the eggplant parm. My was ok. They didn't have enough layers of eggplant. It seemed like only 2. Wasn't impressed. My wife's Chicken parm was solid. Breadcrumbs had great flavor and the chicken was the perfect thickness. We both had a side of pasta and it wasn't anything fancy. The grated parm was in a shaker. Not a fan of the generic grated cheese. Overall it was cool little spot! Would I go again? Yes I would but I wouldn't be jumping through hoops. Overall rating in my opinion is 7 out of 10.

It's basically one big room with a porch out back, and I was surprised it wasn't louder in there. Ordered a cup of pasta e fagioli soup and the penne with portobello mushrooms and sausage for my main. Since there were ten of us it was interesting to hear some of the other choices... three people at the table ordered an appetizer for their meal - spinach, sausage and beans soup and when it arrived I could see why - it was huge! My soup was very good (sorry no picture) and the penne with sausage and portobello was good too, I think I'd have liked a little more sausage in the mix but the flavor was good and I couldn't finish so I had lunch for the next day. All in all a nice place - the waitress was especially nice and explained everything perfectly.

Everyday I see the delivery drivers speed along the streets, run redlights, pull out in the path of on coming traffic and blast loud music. In the past I have refused to order from them do to the business allowing such behavior. A couple weeks ago I witnessed one of the drivers in a small body white van nearly hit a couple walking their dog the pedestrian had a walk signal when the small speeding white van nearly hit them they shined a flashlight at the van. The rude minus 5 star pizza driver turned around and went back yelling at the pedestrian and began using a spotlight to harass the elderly couple. And then drove past the couple a second time using a spotlight to harass them. I wanted to follow him and teach him some manners and about the law but my wife insisted I not get involved and never spend a penny at their establishment. I felt I must leave a review so when one of the drivers hits someone walking or in a car this can serve as additional proof of the drivers behavior and minus 5 Star pizza doing nothing to stop the street terrorists read more

I was skeptical due to the name, a bold claim to make in today's age of Yelp and so forth. Five star pizza? I'll be the judge of that. I was expecting your typical greasy, salty late night sin of a pizza. Instead I got what has to be one of the best pizzas I've had not only in the Bradenton/Sarasota area, but in a long time. I'm fairly critical of pizza, but the veggie that I had was just perfect, crust was light, fluffy and the right amount of crisp, the cheese is great quality and the sauce, just perfect. I struggle to eat a whole 12" by myself, but I devoured the thing. read more

The owners and staff here set the standard for professionalism and genuine care. From the way they thoughtfully run the business to the pride they put into every detail, it's clear this team is committed to excellence. Their passion and dedication create an experience that goes far beyond just great food -- though the food itself is absolutely stellar. This is truly one of the standout locations in the franchise, and I look forward to returning again soon. read more

The ingredients are super fresh and I was happy to learn that their meat is nitrate free! I love that I don't feel gross after eating their pizza like I do with any others. Also, their salads are underrated!!!! For a spot that is designed to be quick dining, I've never come across an establishment that you can a huge salad made to order. The place feels like a community hub or sorts. They have a kids table with coloring and other activities for the littles. Fundraisers or activities that engage their patrons seem to be going on monthly. Which all just contribute to the good and warm vibes of this place. The staff seem genuinely happy to be there. Which, can be hard to come by these days. I saw a comment on here about how their socialization was a con. However, I have to say, the staff might be the biggest pro to this place. It seems like the group that works here all are a team who get along and have fun! Service is always quick and they are committed to getting everything right for their customers.

By that point, I was hungry and feeling my blood sugar drop, which made the experience even more frustrating. If management wants this location to succeed, staff need better supervision and training to understand when it's time to have fun and when it's time to serve customers--starting with the adults on duty.
