This is not just pizza. This is Italy on a plate…read more If you've ever been to Italy -- or dreamed about it -- Valentina's Pizza delivers the real thing. The dough is imported from Italy, and you can taste the difference in every bite -- light, flavorful, and perfectly executed. Start with the bruschetta -- fresh, vibrant, and beautifully balanced. The burrata, imported directly from Italy, is absolute perfection: rich, creamy, and unforgettable. The Valentina salad ties it all together -- crisp, bright, and crafted to complement the meal instead of competing with it. The pizza is flawless. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. This is the kind of place you go to slow down, share food, and enjoy the moment. Hands down the best pizza I've ever had. Madison is lucky to have a place like this. If you haven't been yet, go. You'll be back.

Very busy place on a Friday. First time here and came with our neighbors who are frequent guests…read more This is probably the best pizza I've had in years. Great service with full bar. Bright open area with two side areas that could used to host private parties. We had the Valentina's Special which was incredible. Sausage and cherry tomatoes with a healthy drizzle of balsamic vinegar which made it. Also did a custom white pie which was equally excellent. There are lots of options on the menu and I can't wait to come back and check them out. You have got to eat here. I'm going to become a regular.

I visited here last Tuesday with my mom. This is a relatively new pizza restaurant that opened…read moremaybe around a year ago in a medium-sized shopping center. I went to undergrad at Mississippi State University in Starkville and there was a Lost Pizza there; I think this is a small chain that got its start in Mississippi, actually. It certainly shows in the fun, bluesy, Delta-influenced decor. The vibes are great! I was a little surprised, though not displeased, to find that this is an order at the counter joint. The cashiers were bubbly and nice. Our order took a short time to come out but nothing crazy. Drinks are self-service and the drink cups are cute. There's plenty of room to find a more private place to sit. We split the spinach and artichoke dip appetizer and a small Beekeeper pizza, which I get the impression is limited-time. It comes with pepperoni, basil, and a drizzle of honey. You can choose between thin or thick crust, which is nice; we went for thin. The spinach and artichoke dip came out first. It was a pretty bougie take on the appetizer, with a thick layer of melted mozzarella on top and a couple of red pepper flakes throughout that made it punchy. It was crazy hot temperature-wise too. The chips were very thin and had some trouble breaking through the mozz on top and frequently broke when trying to dip. We wound up using a fork to break up the cheese and then scoop dip onto our chips. That helped a lot. Our pizza came out shortly afterwards. We ordered a small. I will agree with other reviewers who said the small is *quite* small. If you came with an appetite, it'd be on the small side for a meal. That said, for our purposes, it was a great size to split with the dip for a more reasonably sized lunch portion. The pizza was quite good. Not overly saucy, with crispy crust and gooey cheese. The pepperoni cups were crispy and delightfully greasy, and the honey on top was a great addition that complemented the flavors well. I'd happily reorder this pizza. Overall, definitely a chill place to grab a pie and hang out! Would be happy to try some tamales some time too. Made me nostalgic for MSU even though I never made it to the Lost Pizza there; job well done of recreating the "feel" of the state. A nice visit for sure!

There was plenty of seating in the dining room to eat in. We got a large BBQ Chicken pizza and a stromboli. The pizza didn't disappoint. It truly was a large pizza with big slices. The flavor was also great. I'm not a New Yorker so I can't comment on the authenticity of the pie but it was good. However, I am a self-proclaimed stromboli connoisseur. First, they should use a smaller box because the stromoli looked tiny in the box mine came in. Overall the stromboli wasn't bad. The ingredients could have been spread out more evenly. And like most strombolis, the ingredients didn't make it to the edges. I'll go back for pizza but it won't be my go-to for strombolis.

My wife and I really enjoyed our dinner. As we often do in a new place, we had a couple of…read moreappetizers and a couple of entrées with the full intention of carrying food home. We had to try the snapper throats and the kimchi Brussels. Both were excellent. She opted for the red snapper with artichoke hearts, and I had the chorizo and shrimp rigatoni. We could've fed both of us on either entrée but brought food home instead. The menu is quite large, so I see this becoming a common date night destination. I wouldn't normally include this in a restaurant review, but the restrooms are remarkably small given the size of the venue. Given the popularity, I recommend reservations. We made them and were seated upon arrival.

It had the dough and crust I remembered from back home with simple ingredients to make your own or one of their speciality pizzas. Nice clean joint and cool vibes.

The beer selection is great as well work local breweries and domestics. Don't forget the gelato before you go hopefully you're not too stuffed.

We visited Lil Capones for lunch last week just to try it. We enjoyed ourselves!…read more This restaurant is located in the same shopping center as the ever-popular Papa Gyro's and took the place of the 2nd iteration of Big Shake's. There's ample parking and the interior looks nice enough; kind of a fun Italian mafia theme with lots of comfortable booths and an attractive bar with a good TV. Both the restaurant and the women's restroom were very clean. We entered right after opening but were made to feel quite welcome by the waitstaff. Our waitress brought our menus, including a lunch menu! I love a lunch menu. My mom and I both ordered the lunch portion of the spaghetti carbonara. She enjoyed her sweet tea and I had a diet soda. The entrees come with a piece of garlic bread. I thought the portion size and price were both perfect for a lunch serving. The garlic toast was crispy and buttery. We enjoyed our spaghetti carbonara. It's not made with eggs and cheese in the traditional way, but instead uses Alfredo sauce, which is a little disappointing to me. I remain on the hunt for that kind of carbonara in Huntsville. Still, it was a good Alfredo sauce, the pasta was cooked well, and there were ample little bacon bits. Pleasant visit, nice place for lunch -- give them a try for some solid American-Italian food if you're in the area!

Quick take: Food was delicious! I can't wait to visit in person…read more I didn't visit but I had catered food from here. I tried the chicken alfredo and some ravioli. I thought it was delicious. I can't wait to visit and try more. I am not sure if the bread is the same but the bread catered was just basic garlic bread. Not bad but nothing special. Did have a nice crust on it.

We were surprised when Google Maps was showing our destination as the Madison library. I didn't…read moreknow that a new library had been built, the old library now repurposed as a bar. When we got into the parking lot, we thought they were closed - not a car in sight. But I saw a tiny open sign and insisted that between that, and the hours on their website, they must be open. My friend and I insisted differently. She went in and, guess what? They really were open! When we walked in and saw a sign for happy hour. Bonus! We were set. We each bought a draft for a dollar off and purchased a few of the $5 apps. The garlic knots are noted in several reviews so that was a no brainer. We also ordered the beer cheese with pretzels and our friends ordered the spinach dip with tortilla chips. I can't tell you how many beers there were, let's just say plenty. The beer was icy cold, perfect for another 95 degree day. Yelp didn't disappoint, the garlic knots were soft, pull apart deliciousness. The accompanying pizza sauce was just ok. The beer cheese as good. The accompanying pile of soft pretzel bites would have been better without so much salt. I didn't try the spinach dip. Nobody else seemed very thrilled with it. It came with tortilla chips - I don't know what kind they were but even they didn't look good. Beer Hog is designed for fun. Pool tables, dart boards, a small arcade, indoor corn hole and an array of daily activities including Harry Potter trivia night, line dancing night and live music on the weekend. There was quite a bit of patio area which will be great once our inferno weather pattern breaks. There are a couple rooms available to rent for various size events. We spoke with one of the 3 owners. The three of them designed and built out the entire interior. The owner we spoke with told us how they built the bar and every table in the building. They did a great job identifying and executing the unusual repurposing of the old library. Now that school is restarting, patrons need to mindful of afternoon traffic. If you don't know Hughes Road, just know it's a zoo when all of the schools let out. We'll definitely be back. The garlic knots alone are enough to guarantee that.

The Beer Hog in Madison is really large with eight pool tables, two dart boards, a cornhole area, a stage for live music, and a separate arcade room. I thought it was a cool place, but I prefer how the Birmingham Beer Hog music area is in a separate room than the game room. Both do offer a great craft beer selection just like Birmingham.

I wouldn't go out of my way to go here again, but for what it is (a two-location only, not really a…read morechain restaurant) it was a-okay. We were there for a late lunch, so we basically had the run of the place. Our server was very sweet, non-intrusive, and--though she did forget about a caesar salad until reminded after entrees were served--overall did a great job. Drinks were refilled promptly, etc. The food? Eh, it was fine. The garlic styx (why do they spell it this way, ARGH) were pizza dough, not actually "bread," and holy CRAP was there a lot of garlic on them. I mean entire cloves coating it. I don't mind garlic so I wasn't mad, but it was a bit much. The side of marinara was adequate in both taste and volume, but tasted jarred. I got the 10-layer eggplant. Now, I love eggplant parm and I see where they were going with this, but it was just SO cheesy. I love cheese and marinara and eggplant and all that jazz, but this singular dish probably contained 2 lbs (no joke) of cheese condensed into a 5"x5" square. I know there was eggplant in there (finely sliced, like on a mandolin thin). I know there was sauce in there (there was some swirled around the dish). However, all I could taste was...cheese. This is the first, and likely will be the last, time I ever complain about too much cheese. Practical notes: I didn't see any super dinginess like other reviews state, but I also didn't go to the bathroom. Your mileage may vary. Parking is a niiiiiiiightmaaaaaaare even when the restaurant isn't busy. Make sure your parallel parking skills are up to date or try and squeeze into one of the lots. Portions are large, so order accordingly. If you order something with cheese and are even remotely sensitive to dairy, bring your Lactaid and triple the dose. NOTE: this is not actual medical advice.
