It had been a little bit since we had been to Dillsboro and he heard a new pizza place had open so…read morewe had to check out Depot Pizza. It was Sunday evening and we wanted to order dinner for pick up so we checked out the website for the menu. We knew we wanted wings and pizza so we jumped on a 12 piece bone-in wings with Hot-2-Go Garlic and a 16" The Meating Place Pie which has the meats that being, Meatballs, Cupped Pepperoni, Italian Sausage, and Prosciutto. We then saw the Last Train to Mexico Pizza and it sounded like nothing we had ever heard of (Foragers Street Corn Elote, Mojo Pulled Pork, Candied Bacon, Jalapenos, Mozzarella, Goat Cheese, Tajin, Cilantro, and Lime Crema Drizzle). This might just be crazy enough to work. We picked up our order and everything looked great. I started with the wings. The Hot-2-Go Garlic sauce was great. Not an over the top spicy but has great flavor and plenty of actual garlic which we loved. The The Meating Place was also very good. Fresh topping and it was loaded with them too with a great crust. Now for the Last Train to Mexico: We loved this pizza. It was so unique but everything on it worked so well. The flavors, texture, toppings everything hit. We were so glad we took a risk on this pie. I will say though the star of the show was for sure the Street Corn Elote as a base. First time having corn on a pizza and it will not be my last. If the toppings on the Last Train to Mexico are ones you enjoy this is a must.

I don't know what was wrong with that guy, but as a writer and a human, I can assure you that no matter what you do, you can never make everyone happy all the time. That's why it's best to just be authentically you. I got a little off-topic there. What I saying was ... the only negative reviews are for long wait times for takeout or if the dining-in crowd thinks the takeout orders have taken priority over their food. It has nothing to do with the quality of the food. I dined-in and sat outside. The wait times for food were right on the money. I didn't feel rushed and it didn't take too long. I could enjoy my meal and the experience. I have been to Frankie's across the street and had two meals there: Chicken Parm and the Spaghetti & Meatballs. The Chicken Parm was much stronger than the Spaghetti & Meatballs. So when comparing the two Chicken Parm dishes, they are equal but polar opposites. Frankie's is a fancier place with all the bells and whistles. It's a great vibe but also a little expensive. The Chicken Parm is thicker and you get a side of pasta but have to pay for the salad. At Bizzarro, the Chicken Parm is a much thinner cut but still a large portion, you can get angel hair pasta (a rare treat), and you don't have to pay for the salad. For bread, you get traditional at Frankie's and garlic knots at Bizzaro's. I'm not a huge fan of garlic but during this meal, I realized I like garlic knots if I eat them upside down. As for vibe/atmosphere, at Bizzaro, I walked through the little service area to get to the outdoor tables. As I ate, there were parked cars right there, someone mowing a lawn in the distance, and the TV was on from the service area. I would usually not like these things, but I loved it here. It completely fit the vibe of feeling at home and just chilling on the deck. Add the friendly staff and you will feel very welcomed. While the Chicken Parms are different yet equal, Bizzaro's definitely wins for value as you get similar portions plus a salad at a much lower price. I'm glad I found Bizzaro's and I have added it as a go-to when in town. I'll still hit Frankie's too, but maybe Bizarro more often. It always depends on the second visit. I didn't try the pizza yet but I'm sure it's good. The only negative here is the awkward and small parking lot but no big deal. Highly recommended!

My four photos tell a story: arrival; bread, Chicken Parmesan with spaghetti, empty plate. Would…read moreyou like to know about the highs, mediums, and lows? The highs include a delicious Chicken Parmesan that really surprised me, quality service, and a great atmosphere. The mediums are the pricing and the bread. For the former, it was $27 for the meal. Add the tip and you're likely at $30-$35. On one hand, that's a lot for a Chicken Parmesan & Spaghetti. On the other hand, you're in a casino in a gorgeous restaurant and/or bar and looking at huge floor-to-ceiling windows that would have put the Galactic Empire to shame. In other words, you're paying a premium for the experience. As for the bread, I liked the flavor but didn't love it. Also, the crust is pretty hard, which makes it a challenge for 15%-20% of the population due to problems with their teeth to the extent that they struggle with hard bread. The butter was great and probably the correct amount for most people. I love butter so I wanted to see if I could make it last. Barely pulled it off. For bread, what they had with Brio was perfect but the menu and food are better at Amici Italia. There are no lows. Any negatives are minor. Though the spaghetti was good, it was the Chicken Parmesan that stole the show. It was cooked to perfection and that nice crisp with a great sauce, and it was a solid serving size. Personally, I prefer angel hair pasta over spaghetti but I don't mind spaghetti at all and it was solid. I strongly recommend this new Italian restaurant at Harrah's Cherokee. I'm just letting you know what to expect. I have only tried one menu item so far but I left super happy.

We walked in for an early lunch on Wednesday...and the place remained fairly skimpy. So frankly, I was worried about what to expect. We ordered Fried Calamari as app...and despite my low expectations, it delivered! I don't think I liked it as much as the Brio's version...but it was a solid Fried Calamari dish. For entrees, our husband chose the Mushroom Ravioli, and I tried the Sacchettie Alla Vodka...and well, we both devoured it all! All the foods were decently presented as well. As far as I can see it, the restaurant was possibly a tad more upscaled than the previous Brio's....as I noticed its sophisticated overhead music as well. I love the lofty space, with very high ceilings...but during lunch, it felt a bit too empty? Possibly due to the price points (quite hefty), this wasn't a hot spot for lunch. Am thinking there would be a better, richer vibe for dinner. The service was good. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive throughout. Overall, I was impressed...especially considering I expected it to be much worse than Brio's. Nope...I think it was just as good, though the menu was much smaller. Should we revisit the hotel-casino in the future, I'm very open to trying this place again.

I still haven't tried the one in Sylva (heard good things), and I think I'll pass on the one in Bryson City. As for this joint, the outdoor dining area is supreme. Well, maybe it was just supreme on that day thanks to the weather. I was on my way to poker (it went well again thanks to me designing and applying TNP a year ago), and I wanted to get some good calories under my belt since tourney poker players don't eat much for 7-10 days when WSOPC is in town. I definitely got the calories! The Chicken Parm and pasta portion here is HUGE! The salad is also the best salad of the four Italian restaurants I have tried in the area. For bread, the garlic knots were very high quality, and if you like garlic knots, you will love it. But in the bread category for me, Frankie's wins with ease, simply because it's a large portion of traditional Italian bread with butter. I love butter. In fact, it's one of my favorite things in life. Sometimes when I'm driving and I glance at my rearview mirror, it looks like a stick of butter, especially during sunrise. For Chicken Parm, I have Frankie's and Bizzaro's tied for the lead over Vale and Bocelli's. But all four are good! For pasta, Bocelli's is in last. For some reason, that sauce works well with the Chicken Parm but not with the linguine. I give Bizarro's the nod for best pasta of the four. For service, all four are amazing. For value, Bizarro's. For atmosphere, Frankie's. For outdoor dining, Bocelli's. For quality red wine, Vale by a mile. Best red wine I have ever tasted! For storytelling, Vale! He will feel like a good friend within a 15 minutes. So ... for Bocelli's, solid Chicken Parm, best salad, great garlic knots, didn't love the pasta, and excellent service and outdoor dining. Definitely recommended! I need to try the pizza at all these places next round.

The food however was disappointing. My husband had the Tortellini which he said was good but not the best he's ever had. I had the Eggplant parmesan which was the worst I've ever had!

When I scraped it off to eat the eggplant I realized the eggplant was paper thin sliced. The mozzarella slices on top were hard! The worst part was that the waitress never asked how our food was and never questioned the MOUND of breading I left on my plate at the end. Guess we were paying for ambience alone.
