We were having a work "philly cheesesteak" dinner but needed a good spot to get takeout. We came to Crostini - ordering was super easy and our food was ready and waiting for us upon arrival. Staff was very friendly in our limited interaction. I don't love steak, so I got the philly chicken cheesesteak, and holy moly was this sandwich massive. I could barely even hold it together there was so much chicken going on there!! I ended up keeping all the chicken that naturally fell out of the sandwich as leftovers and put it over rice for a meal the next day. I loved that the sandwich had mushroom and peppers on it, having some veggie interaction made it feel healthy :) Especially considering I got a small french fry with it too (which was actually somewhat large). Ketchup was extra so I went without it and was perfectly happy eating my french fries without condiments. This place definitely still fills a void in the area and I highly recommend checking them out!

The online ordering system is a little clunky but they were able to handle our requests (no tomato). And the ability to see your order status was very nice. Our food was still hot (that should be) when we picked up. The actual restaurant is a little awkward when you get inside. There's a small alcove to the left where you place your order. And you have to ring the bell for service. Everyone was super nice and the place looked vibey from what I could see. Not a ton to say since I just picked up. The food was excellent. The sub sandwich comes rolled kind of like a wrap which I wasn't expecting but didn't impact the flavor of experience. The panini was huge and easily 2 meals. Fries were soooo good. Like stadium quality. And don't skip the nacho cheese if you like a classic cheese fry. Overall I'm sad we haven't tried them sooner!

I saw a Facebook post on Wednesday offering Wet Wednesday Wings for .80 a wing and I had to go. I ordered 12 wings, fries, and Nipsey Blue Punch and it was EVERYTHING and more. I ordered all three flavors; garlic parmesan, barbecue, and buffalo. The chicken and fries were crispy and seasoned to perfection. My favorite flavor is between the garlic parmesan and the barbecue. Everything is cooked to order. The punch is made in house daily and it was delicious. House of Flavas is a local Black Woman owned business and it has been opened over a year. This was my second time visiting House of Flavas, the first time the food was so good I forgot to take a picture. Pro Tip: You get free refills on the punch

Before I could order while I was looking at their menu a guy in the back was yell something. Couldn't understand it and it didn't seem directed at me because he was in the back and i was at the counter. He pokes his head through the window to make eye contact with me and yells "IS YOU PICKING UP?" I said no and he said "ALRIGHT THEN YOU CAN ORDER RIGHT THERE" I turned and left then went to Q Doba next door. They have free gauc. And nobody yelled at me. Wing Stop it is next time.

First, the good news: The food is great…read more However, I have been a customer of Wings Over Madison for about eight years, and over that time, the quality of service has steadily declined, particularly delivery, and the past two years have been especially bad. Deliveries have arrived over an hour late, orders have been deleted without notification, and I have had to drive to the store myself to resolve issues with delivery orders. These problems are recurring and point to breakdowns in the delivery process, not one-off mistakes. After last night's situation, I will no longer order delivery from this location. The current delivery operation is unreliable, and after years of patience, I am done rolling the dice.

I ordered a LARGE Original Cheesesteak loaded with fried onions, mushrooms, hot + sweet peppers, cheese whiz, mayo, lettuce, and tomato--and made it a meal with a Mountain Dew + fries. Let's get into it Cheesesteak: It was... okay. Not bad, but nothing I'm rushing back for. Fries: Supposed to be Cajun fries but they weren't giving Cajun at all and the blue cheese cream sauce wasn't in my bag (which sucks because I was READY for that). The ambiance was cute. What I WILL say: everything was made fresh to order and the service was AMAZING--like top tier. Overall... I wanted to love it, but Madison definitely has some stronger cheesesteak options

Hoagies and Cheesesteaks are a way of life in Philly and it must be done right! The staff at The Original Steaks and Hoagies were very helpful, welcoming, with prompt service. However, the food itself majorly missed the mark and disappointing. I am hoping they can improve! I was hoping the could bring the magic of Philadelphia to Madison! I tried their large WHIZZY MONSTER cheesesteak sandwich with Hot capicola, fried onions, sweet peppers, Whiz, chopped topped with whizzy potato tots and my husband had their original Philly Cheesesteak with mushrooms. My husband liked his Philly cheesesteak but said it could have been better. I was very disappointed in my WHIZZY MONSTER cheesesteak because it didn't have a-lot of meat in it and the meat was not seasoned with very bland taste and very little cheese whiz. When I went to Philadelphia, they love to fill their Philly cheesesteaks with a good amount of meat with absolutely no skimping on the meat, the meat was seasoned super well with salt/pepper, while also having great flavor from the peppers and onions. The Original Steaks and Hoagies missed the mark for me because they need to season their meat better, add more meat to their sandwiches without having to pay extra or double the meat, and try the food before serving to guests. The food was very bland. I am genuinely hoping the Original Steaks and Hoagies can improve the flavor of their sandwiches!

Love this no-frills deli with the focus on what's important- amazing bread in perfectly balanced sandwich (and yes, for me that means not a TON of meat but it was satisfying and not meat-heavy. I thought the ratio of bread/cheese/meat was just right). Gino's also has a lot of pasta salad options (I've heard good things about both the Cajun chicken pasta salad and the pesto chicken salad but literally just made two pasta salads for this weekend so I'll have to try those next time). They also have ingredients for pizza in the fridge and pre-made lasagnas, pizzas, and desserts (Tiramisu!!!). It also sounds like they sometimes sell cannoli fresh, made-to-order. Great hidden gem, definitely check it out. I will say, I also got the Italian sub and I was less impressed with the meat/bread/cheese ratio (not enough meat, too much cheese) but that pestrami was chef's kiss. Also we saw a worker on break when we arrived and he was eating the meatball sub-looked incredible but we didn't try it this time (we were eating on the go and that can be tricky with meatballs!)
