The restaurant doesn't have a full bar, but they do serve beer and wine. My friend and I who love Italian food decided to go try it out today. As soon as we entered the door we were warmly welcomed and greeted by a friendly young lady who to us to our booth and handed us the menus. The dining room was very clean and decorated with cute yet elegant Italian artworks on the walls. The menu was very extensive and contained popular items such as homemade lasagna, pizza, Philly cheese steak subs, and unique Italian dinners. .

Although most of the customers there were sharing a pizza, and they looked so delicious, we both decided to have the Stromboli with the works. Believe it or not, I think this was the first time that I had ever had Stromboli at an Italian restaurant. To drink we both had Cokes. When the food arrived, the Strombolis looked so fresh and delicious on the outside, and in the inside it contained fresh quality ingredients such as Mozzarella, Green Peppers, Onions, Pepperoni, Sausage & Mushrooms. I was very impressed with its homemade dough and real Mozzarella cheese. The Peperoni, Sausage, and all the other ingredients were also quality products. Our server came to check on us at the appropriate times and provided us with some refills for our drinks. They had some good Italian desserts on the menu as well, but we already had planned to have dessert at another place. Everything was so good, that even though we hadn't finish eating yet, I already was looking forward to try one of their pizzas or unique Italian dinners. I also found the prices to be very reasonable for the quality of their food.

This restaurant serves the Blue Ridge, Bedford, and Roanoke communities, as well as the Route 460 trafic customers passing through. The owner and chef Sherif opened this restaurant on April 4th, 2019. When I walked into the Restaurant, I found the place to be very similar to the Italian restaurants I dined in with my parents when I visited Rome as a young man. The decor was very eclectic and with a very warm and cozy ambiance. It had two large screen TVs. One in the dining area and the other at the bar sitting area. There was no one around for a few minutes. But all of a sudden, the restaurant's owner/chef Sherif, came walking out of the kitchen and gave me a friendly greeting and a warm welcome. It was very genuine and he made it a point to know, memorize, and always address me by my name. I ordered a Dr Pepper to drink and after having some time to look over the menu I ordered a Works Supreme Pizza and asked if he could make it a 12" small size. This pizza contained Pepperoni, Sausage, Beef, Mushrooms, Onions, Green Peppers, and Roasted Red Peppers. The owner was truly wonderful - very polite, welcoming, and attentive. I very much appreciated the great customer service and the positive atmosphere he created. While the service was excellent, the food did not quite meet my expectations. I believe there is room for improvement in the flavor and overall preparation. The thin crust pizza was over cooked, making the outer crust hard and burning some of the meat ingredients, thus retracting from their flavor. However, I did enjoy the magnificent flavor of the roasted red peppers in the pizza. And the Tiramisu that I had for dessert, made in-house, with fresh strawberries on top was amazingly delicious. I hope this feedback is helpful, as the owner's hospitality was outstanding and I would love to see the food quality match his level of service. I'm sharing this respectfully, as the owner's hospitality was excellent and deserves to be recognized. Also, the owner's friendliness and attentiveness enhanced my dining experience significantly.

After being awarded the Triad Yelper of the Year 2024 Award at the Yelpies Award Ceremony last year, an event that honored the highest-performing Yelp Elites, I decided that this year, as an All-Star Yelp Elite, I not only wanted to be the first to discover new restaurants and bring them to the attention of the public, but also to uncover those found in hidden paths that for one reason or another have not reached the public in its totality. And Lil' Cucci's Pizzeria, now located in Roanoke, Virginia, is the perfect example. I met the head of the household, co-owner Maurizio "Joe" Cucci, right after placing my order for the very first time with his daughter, who works at the cashier counter, taking the orders and charging for them. As I went down to the open kitchen large window to see them working making the pizzas and other Italian delicacies, Mauricio warmly greeted and welcomed me and introduced himself. He is originally from Sicily, Italy, and came to this country in 1978 when his late brother Victor brought him over. And together they created this Pizzeria which they kept all about friends and family. But then he immediately asked me for my name and where was I from, just as two friends who meet for the first time and begin establishing conversation that will later turn into friendship. This is the difference between this pizza shop and others. Here the owners and employees are genuinely interested in their customers and treat them as friends of the family, and the business just comes naturally from that warm relationship that he establishes and maintains with his customers which he knows and greets by their first name. After being in business for many years, they had the opportunity of purchasing this land and build their own pizza place building. And their customers enjoy the friendly relationship he has with them as much as they enjoy their pizzas. And their loyalty is such that they are open only 3 days a week: Thursdays Fridays, and Saturdays from 11:00AM to 8:00PM on Thursdays and from 11:00AM to 9:00PM on Fridays and Saturdays. But on these 3 days the place is continously full. His son is by his side making the pizzas and his wife helps out making sure the orders are handed to the right customers. I ordered a House Salad to start with and a Small 12 inch Lil' Cucci's Special Pizza, together with a Dr Pepper softdrink. And waited in front of the window watching Maurizio making pizzas, and directing the whole operation, and at the same time talking to me about his family and business. I invite you to view my photographs and videos that accompany my review for a better sense and feel about the ambiance of the place and look of the food. All I can say was that my salad was so crispy and fresh, and my pizza was so good that I ended up eating the whole thing. I left after saying goodbye to Maurizio and his family having discovered the secret to their success. Their convenient parking lot was almost completely full by then, and more customers were arriving, picking up their To Go orders, or dining in or in the outdoor patio. I highly recommend this place not only for their amazingly delicious food, but for you to see for yourselves and experience first hand the epitome of customer service.

The cheese was not real cheese because despite being cooked it still was in its shredded form and not even melted, just sitting on top of the sauce in an oily sheet.

Yet the order was put together haphazardly, items were not described accurately on the menu, nor by the person taking the order, and food quality was mediocre. If someone is ordering a to go order over $25 like they INSIST -, it's downright stingy and mean spirited to not provide any napkins or silverware whatsoever. I understand Restaurants like to claim that they are struggling, but that's hardly a reason to be mean spirited and allow someone to spend over $30 in food and not put a single napkin into their delivery order. Let alone utensils with which to eat the food. That's just either lazy, stingy, greedy, or unthoughtful. The pita and hummus is hardly pita, whatever that giant baked dough mess was that got shoved into the bag, unsanitary without any proper protection - was bland, and fat to doughy and heavy to be proper pita bread. They don't have lemon for the seafood or shrimp, and the cocktail sauce is in little ketchup packets made mostly of chemical ingredients, no real food content and not healthy. And again with the stinginess, they provided two little tiny ketchup packets for 10 shrimp. So not enough even for the shrimp that you've ordered. It basically allowed me to dip for shrimp. Was told that "everything is made fresh" but I think that they're deceiving themselves that this is wholesome, edible food. The cannoli was soggy and inedible. We threw out half of it. The bread mess was bland and again, not proper pita bread, shrimp was fine but with no lemon or cocktail sauce, just bland fried shrimp. Nothing special. On top of that they had a seven dollar delivery fee despite the fact that they are five minutes away from where we were??!? In NY and Boston delivery upcharges are three dollars or five dollars, so seven dollars in Roanoke Virginia just feels again, unnecessary and greedy. So for approximately $25 worth of food, if you're also paying the driver, you're spending a $12 + upcharge for mediocre food with no utensils or napkins or proper condiments. Definitely do not recommend. Thank you.

And Tony Avellino's Italian Eatery is the perfect example. Located in an old but clean, small restaurant space off Franklin Road, in Roanoke, Virginia, with an ample parking lot, Tony Avellino's stands alone there, that for unknown passers-byers could seem not to be open if it were not be for its well lit red "OPEN" sign behind one of its windows. As I arrived and walked in, the place looked empty, so I walked around and looked into a what seemed to be like a storage room that doubled as the dishwashing room and office. I heard some voices and said: "Is anybody home?" Suddenly, this delightful older couple who were Italian immigrants, and the owners of the restaurant came out to warmly greet me, and as they did, the place suddenly acquired another dimension. It reminded me of the trip to Italy that I took with my family when I was a boy, and the beauty of that country, and its people, who made you feel at home in their home. I enjoyed talking with both the husband and wife, and seeing them work together running their family-owned business. They had a colorful menu published but the wife ask me what I felt like eating today: a pizza, their Special Cheese Steak Sub, Pasta, or one of their Half-Pound Burgers. I definitely wanted to try their New York style pizza so I ordered their 12" size Pepperoni and Mushroom Pizza with a Root Beer. The husband quickly started making my pizza and allowed me to record the process with photos and videos that I could include in my review. The Pizza tasted amazing. There are times that in simple, quality ingredients, one can uncover an extraordinary flavor. While I was eating, other customers started arriving. Some to eat in, some to take out. What a beautiful site of a couple earning a living through the labor of something they enjoy doing and are good at, and their customers enjoying the fruit of their labor. I highly recommend this restaurant. Go there, support this delightful couple, and enjoy their warmth and wonderful food.

Cheesy bread seemed like a hoagie roll sliced up w/ melted cheese - not sure it was worth $8. Store itself looked run down and in need of some renovations. Maybe that's the ambiance they are looking for - the vintage or "we been here forever" look. The staff was friendly, smiling & looked to like their job!

While we opted not to explore the drink menu, we were eager to see what the kitchen had to offer. The menu itself is concise, focusing primarily on wings, sandwiches, and pizzas, supplemented by a few small appetizers. The culinary style is quite eclectic. They feature several unconventional toppings and flavor combinations that might seem a bit eccentric at first glance. The Culinary Experience I decided on a flatbread-style pizza topped with: Smoked chicken Pickles Peppadew-style peppers (which resembled small cherry tomatoes) A tangy, zesty sauce reminiscent of an enchilada base with an extra "zing."

Although she realized too late that she had forgotten to request light sauce, she noticed the oversight immediately upon the dish's arrival. Service Observations The service was a bit of a mixed bag. Our waitress was professional but remarkably brisk. She lacked the usual pleasantries or "small talk" one might expect, focusing instead on efficiency. While her haste felt a bit impersonal, I couldn't complain about her attentiveness--she was incredibly prompt at refilling my iced tea the moment my glass was empty. Make sure you bring your pocketbook this pizza brings a sting at the register.
