I'd had Benny DaCorsa recommended to me by several friends, so today was the day! The place is small inside, but it has ample parking. There are 2 larger tables inside, along with a bar that wraps around the perimeter with seating, but if the weather is nice, take your slice outside to the picnic tables. Also, they don't have fountain drinks (which to me are gross anyway), but their cooler is stocked with tons of flavors you don't see every day. I grabbed the strawberry lemonade, and it was yummy! Our slices were so big, we had to have 2 plates to carry them out on. I got pepperoni and mushrooms, which was delicious. I also got extra marinara sauce for dipping my crust into. This is served cold, but is very flavorful. One slice was more than enough for me, but my daughter's boyfriend ate 2. Honestly, if it is your first time there, start with 1 slice, they are larger than you think! You can also buy whole pies, for which I thought the price was insane when I looked at it online. I saw 2 ladies pick up 3 of them (party?), and I can only imagine what a conversation piece those made! If you are in Concord, stop by. Pizza is great, and the service is fast and friendly. 5 stars, easily!

This was our second visit here, and it was a good night with a few minor issues…read more We were seated as per our reservation on a Saturday night after Christmas. Our eldest son was visiting from out of town, and it is our yearly tradition to have a nice dinner out all together. We were seated at a table in the back corner, which was very private, but quite dark. There is no lights directly over the table, so it made it difficult to read menus. We had bread and dipping oil brought out and drink orders were taken. We ordered salads and soups, which were all very good and tasty. After our entrees order was taken, we waited a long time for our meals, nearly an hour. While I understand it is a Saturday night, and the dining room was full, orders probably should not take that long. A server brought out more bread, and we munched on more bread for another bit before meals finally arrived. Everything looked great, Katarina's Beef and peppers, Melanzane, chicken franchese, gnocchi travisano, and pepper 1/2 chicken. All delicious. The only complaint was there was not much broccoli rabe on the pepper chicken dish. Mostly the chicken with a few potatoes and a couple pieces of broccoli rabe underneath. The chicken was good, but I probably wouldn't order it again. A few of us at the table only ordered water, and someone only came around once to refill glasses. One of us did order alcohol, but water was not replenished regularly. We had empty glasses most times. Due to the long wait for meals, we skipped dessert. We may decide not to dine here on a Saturday night again. Just my opinion though, some may like the long waits in between courses, but it was a little more than I expected. Gianni's is a hot spot, and they definitely have a great menu and good service. Just a little disappointed with the long wait for entrees.

I decided to go with a simple half cheese/half chicken pizza, paired with a Greek salad and an order of Carolina gold wings. We ordered via delivery so I can't speak much to the restaurant itself, but our food was super fresh and hot when it arrived. Let me say, the salad was very sad. It seemed like someone just threw the contents of the produce drawer into a container, lol. It was pretty much a head of lettuce cut into huge chunks, half of a tomato and huge chunks of onions. I had to go through and chop the veggies myself. Crazy. The wings were on the smaller side but the sauce was delicious. The pizza itself (well, the cheese portion that I tried) was good. The pie itself was huge and slices were generous. Maybe not a life-changing foodie experience for me but it did its job.

The pizza itself is decent. I find it a touch saucy for my taste, and I wouldn't complain if they upped the cheese factor a bit. What really shines here are the drinks - they've got a great selection, and the Arnold Palmers are delicious. One of the best things about Antonio's is their full menu. Beyond pizza, they offer a variety of Italian-American classics, and they even have a selection of desserts to round out your meal. It's a great option for families or groups with diverse tastes. While not perfect, Antonio's is a solid choice for a casual meal. It's consistently good, the service is friendly, and the prices are reasonable. They are a 3.5 rounded up.

Indeed, if the cold North runs through you veins, you'll find house beer and mead aplenty to wet your whistle in an atmosphere that while housed in a modern shopping center, is still somehow appropos. Unfortunately, I had driving to do, so alcohol wasn't in the cards, but the menu appealed to us. We needed some comfort food, so we ended up with an appetizer sampler that included a baked pretzel, jalapeno poppers (instead of the fried ravioli that I guess they were out of), buffalo wings, and mozz sticks. We also got a pizza from the current specials, the spicy hawaiin. We like pineapple on pizza, and definitely prefer pepperoni to ham, and this also included jalapenos... so it sounded right up our alley. FYI, there are no waiters, you simply order at the bar, and they give you a numbered buzzer to pick up your food when ready. I greatly prefer this way of doing things honestly. For the food, honestly... a mixed bag, hence the one star off. The pretzel was great, probably the best of the bunch. Jalapeno poppers were nice and large, good flavor balance of cream cheese and jalapeno. Mozz sticks were mozz sticks. We didn't care for the wings. For one, they weren't tossed in the buffalo sauce, it was just poured over the top, and they also were a tad dry... maybe fried too long. The pizza was a letdown, especially since other reviews were so complimentary of it. The slices were very floppy, it maybe could have used a couple minutes more. The cheese had a nice flavor, but the sauce was not either of our preference. Could have used more pineapple, less jalapeno to balance the bites. Overall, we didn't finish it, and didn't take the leftovers for later. It could just be our personal tastes, so go and decide for yourself. Outside of food, it was trivia night, and people were having a great time. We would have taken part if we were staying longer. I think if I lived in the area, I would still come here, and just figure out what food items are the ones to get and which ones aren't. Great atmosphere, friendly bartender and people.

After sifting through like 20 options, just picked here and I'm so happy she did! BirriTaco is a cute and fun spot. The decor is of skulls, flower walls, and blackboards where you can write your name or a note. It's a It has a small parking lot in the back and there's also some street parking. We walked in just before 3pm on Saturday and it was fairly empty. A few other tables did come in after us but it was still pretty slow (or maybe I'm just used to the business of NYC restaurants). We were greeted and seated by Angel, who was also our waiter. He was quiet and reserved but very attentive. He checked on us frequently to make sure we had all we needed. Drinks: they have sooo many good options to choose from it was hard! We decided to go with the margarita flights that come with 4 flavors of your choice and there's a lot to choose from! We tried 6 different flavors (see pics) and all of them were REALLY good! I think the guava might've been my favorite but it was a tough choice. Food: they give u chips and salsa on the house. The chips are a little different; it's 4 big circular chips, they don't exactly taste like regular chips but I liked it. My friend had the Caribbean bowl and asked if she could get it with Al pastor instead of the meat options offered and they accommodated her request. She enjoyed her bowl but did say maybe she shouldn't have gotten the al pastor after all lol she thought the pork would've been shredded instead. I went for the tacos. I was so excited that they had chicken birria tacos cuz everywhere usually just sells it with beef which I don't eat. I also had an Al pastor taco. The Al pastor was good but just a bit dry, it was just missing some sauce but the flavors were good. The chicken birria tacos were amazing! The broth was the perfect cherry on top. The chicken was seasoned well and they had just the perfect amount of cheese. They were sooo good I had to order another one and my friend decided to order one of the beef birria tacos as well. While I don't eat beef it looked soo good! My friend loved it and it had an amazing cheese pull (see video). If I lived out here this would def be one of my favorite places! I will definitely go back whenever I come visit. While $5.25 is a bit much for 1 taco, man those birria tacos were worth every bit of it!
