In Vicenza for a week for work and a buddy of my suggested Buffalo Grill. For us, it's away from…read morework and not some place I'd seek out based on the paltry reviews on Yelp! but I trusted his judgement and I'm so glad I did! I asked him why he likes this place and his response was simple, "if you see these older locals coming here, you know it's good." And he was right! My fettuccine with mushrooms and sausage was ridiculously delicious! Weirdly for Americans, if you were to eat a plate of this, you'd bust at the seams. Not true for real food! I was ready for round two and my calamari plate with prawns was just as good yet just as light! Yes, a lot of food but I'm working 12 hour days and I was hungry but I didn't feel miserable after! The service was just as great with everyone having a smile on their faces. There's an outside seating area that began getting diners as we were leaving around 9. The place was busy on a Wednesday, in my opinion and for good reason. So the next time you're somewhere unfamiliar, listen to the folks who take chances!

How did we live half a mile away from Pigozzo for 6-months and not discover this gem sooner? That's…read morethe weird thing about Italy, I suppose. I'm convinced there are absolutely no zoning laws here -- you can have an amazing wine bar like Pigozzo tucked in between houses, a garden center, and a travel agency and never notice it because it blends right in... Since discovering Pigozzo just a week ago, we've already been back 3-times. It's just that good! They have about 6 wines on draught at all times, €3 per glass. The Malbec and Cabernet I've tried are good, served chilled, but the hands down winner is the Lambrusco. Normally, I'd avoid Lambrusco, thinking it would be too sweet, but theirs is just slightly sweet and fizzy. I love anything with bubbles, so this one is a big win! In case the ridiculously inexpensive (and delicious) wine on tap wasn't enough, they also have a huge deli counter with tons of prepared foods. When you order a glass of wine, they'll ask if you want a little bit to eat, too. If you say yes (for the love, say yes), they bring you an incredible assortment of warm cicchetti, Italian tapas, from behind the case. We've been presented with paella, various meatballs, arancini, calamari, strawberries with sweet cream, and more. Every single thing they've brought us has always been so good. You can also get their prepared foods to go and make a meal of it at home. Plus, their shelves are stocked with Italian necessities such as pasta, bottles of wine, jarred sauces and vegetables, olive oil, etc.

Excellent portions on the pasta round, and the meats were plentiful as well. While my chicken and peppers plate was delicious, I found myself wishing I had opted for my friend's salmon platter. Clean bathrooms. Excellent service! One waitress spoke fluent English, so no orders were "lost in translation". We look forward to returning!

I've been here twice already and have loved both my experiences. Giada is a great waitress, and she…read morespeaks excellent English. She is also very helpful in deciphering the menu board for the non Italian speakers. There is plenty of room for groups and they have a nice outdoor seating area. There's a full bar inside and lots of American decorations. They really support the soldiers in the area, and I love all the license plates all over the walls. I imagine we will become regulars at this location seeing it isn't to far from where we hope to live. There pasta is fantastic and I had a very tasting, well marinated, steak. I wasn't sure it would be appetizing because it was a thin slice of meat, but it was savory and I enjoyed every bite. One bit of advice... You have the option of only selecting one item off the three course menu. I have chosen two both times and have been more than satiated. Just like many of the other Italian restaurants they bring out bread before the meal and it is filling. Give them a shot. You won't regret it!

It's food preparations are made with fresh local ingredients. Pasta is made in house. I had a pasta with fresh in season mushrooms, that was excellent. For my second dish I had an excellent "Frito Misto". The setting is more an industrial look rather then an antique typical Italian touristy look. However, the food is excellent.

Tons better than any of the places around the caserma.

Mamma Mia, is this place amazing!…read more We started with my most favorite Italian antipasti -- prosciutto e melone -- and were not disappointed! The melon was perfectly ripe and sweet. The prosciutto was sliced razor thin and added the perfect amount of salt for the sweet and savory combo. Oh, yeah. We paired that with a liter of the house red wine. Y'all. That liter of wine was €8. I love this country. From there, hubby and I decided to share a pasta (Spaghetti Carbonara) and pizza ('Nduja). Both were mind blowingly delicious. The pizza was my favorite and I had a hard time sharing even though it was huge. It was wood fired (obviously) and had a spicy 'nduja (a spreadable meat) that was balanced perfectly with fresh red and yellow peppers, basil, and buffalo mozzarella. I could eat this pizza every single day and never get tired of it. So happy to have discovered Mamma Mia and looking forward to many nights spent devouring a giant pizza in their garden!
