Traditional hand tossed pepperoni pizza is my "go to" at Anna Marias. Where the cheese alone weighs more than an entire Papa John's or Dominos pizza (including the dough)! Every 3 or 4 weeks my son and I enjoy a pizza together and when he gets older, it will be a tradition he'll look back on and hopefully have happy thoughts...just as I do reminiscing of when my dad took our family to Sam's in Rockton. I love how Hispanic and Italian families are so closely knit and prioritize "family" above all else. Lots of love! When going in for carry out, the young fella is friendly as can be and comes across as genuine, probably a family member of the ownership. I love the smell inside of these places, very nostalgic.

Velvet Buffalo is most definitely a Modern Italian. From the modern chic decor, to the high quality…read moreservice, and most importantly the incredible food you won't be disappointed with a stop at Velvet Buffalo. Seated in the heart of Beloit (across the road from a high end steak house), nests a quaint experience that pleases the pallet. I must preface this review by sayinthat the night before we had a subpar experience at the place across the road, so the bar felt low. We were craving good food, and at Velvet Buffalo that's exactly what we got. I ordered the filet and it was absolutely beautifully prepared and the taste was exquisite. The service was super pleasant and made you feel welcomed. We were seated and offered a free taste of their wine which was a nice touch. The ambiance was modern and chic. It felt upscale and the food reflected that vibe. The focaccia was delicious as was their garlic infused oil. The steak was perfectly prepared. (I started this review and forgot to finish it so I don't have a fresh mind on the whole experience, BUT it was good enough for me to make sure I finished it!) the food was Great!

I was staying at Hotel Goodwin for a night as I was in town traveling for my partner's job. We…read moredecided to try the restaurant downstairs, Velvet Buffalo, since we had already tried the restaurant Merrill and Houston's Steak Joint across the street (which we absolutely loved and I did a review on that restaurant as well). We ordered burrata appetizer, which I forgot to take a photo of since we were so hungry, while he ordered the farmer's trio for himself and I ordered the Short Rib for myself. Burrata and the table bread are actually fantastic. The entrees we received are very generous portions which makes it good value for the money, but at the same time, it was very heavy and a little too rich in flavor. Presentation was already great. Halfway through dinner, I was really debating between 3 or 4 stars. Because of all the positives, I was going to give it 4 stars even though the food didn't really impress me that much. Desert unfortunately tipped that scale to 3 stars. We ordered Tiramisu. It was the saddest looking tiramisu. We could tell the bottom was watery and soggy. The cake part was dried out. It does look like either it was too old or it was refrigeration issues. We took a bite regardless to be sure and we could tell by the taste that it was an older cake. As someone who's been in the restaurant industry for 30+ years, that actually could be a health violation. We did send it back and they said they'd bring a new freshly made one... which I declined. They should have done that first rather than offering that after the fact. However, the service is great overall. Just could use some work on certain things. And regardless of the restaurant, the hotel is actually very nice. If I was to be back in the area again, I'd stay at this hotel again but eat at the steak joint across the street at Ironworks hotel instead.

I went to celebrate my birthday there. Little after 3pm on 3/31/25. I had such the worst service…read more The lady didn't pay attention to my husband and I when we let her know respectfully said we were ready to order. Because she was just continue to talk to her regularly customer which you can clearly see. As she started to make our drink she stopped in the middle of it to get another drink for the man she kept talking to. Which clearly was her friend. She even put in the wrong hamburger order in after bringing mine out. So my husband had to wait longer as I waited to eat. The drink was terrible. And try to enjoy my birthday meal and drink it was just bad. I still try to stay positive. So I order a different drink thinking it would be better. She took her a little bit to get her attention again. Their were only her two friend and 3 other people. I was so upset to have a terrible birthday experience. I still left a tip bcz that's what I do which I shouldn't have and am mad at myself I did. I just didn't know how to give it back and her see I didn't leave somthing. But I will tell everyone I know not to go there at all and just how horrible my birthday experience was. I TRUELY will never go there again. The bar lady had terrible service and just made me feel that our presence their was in her way of focus on her conversation with the man and women she was talking to the whole time. Am pissed that I picked there to have my special birthday and just to experience such terrible service and drink. We spent $65 there. It was Just Bad Bad And I do mean Bad all the way around. What a Happy Terrible Birthday time. TRUELY upset. If I could give a "0" score I would.

The new owner Jayme has made many changes for the worse. You don't want to try and fix something that's not broken... One of which is the chicken wings which used to be 12 for $9.95 and they were delicious. She has changed them to seven for $14.95 and they are completely different and terrible. I could not even force myself to eat them after they were served to me. The food is not the same as it used to be. She has eliminated the American fries which were a staple for the restaurant. The clam chowder soup has changed and has a different taste. The service was good, but the food was horrible. I will not be going back.
