Orders are placed at the counter and you are given a number to place at your table. Orders are brought out to you. My hubby and I came in for dinner and ordered a large pepperoni and mushroom pizza. It took about 15 minutes to make. A little longer than I would have expected since we were the only ones dining in. I did see a few people doing carryout. The pizza looked ginormous, but we managed to eat three slices each with two slices to take home. The pizza was crunchy, but I didn't think it was anything special. I actually prefer our usual pizza spots over Trattoria. On our way leaving, we were acknowledged and thanked, which was nice, but we're unlikely to return.

Dishes seem to be clearly explained on the menu. Most recent visit, I ordered the Stella Note pizza with the cheese bread as an appetizer. The table also gets bread. Heather was our server, and they were wonderful. After our entrees, they'll bring out a dessert sample platter so guests can see the dessert options before ordering. It's purely to look at and not taste. The restaurant has a whimsical atmosphere with dark, sultry lighting and fake vines and string lights draped across the walls and ceiling. From a distance I thought they might be dusty, but up-close they appeared surprisingly well-maintained and clean. I really appreciate that, as dirty/dusty props hanging over my meal are a major turn-off for me. The place overall, seemed very clean and tables set up neatly ready for customers to sit down. The main flag for me is the building itself. There are several uneven points in the flooring to trip over - even some ramps. The dim lighting can make things difficult to notice. Finding the restrooms was confusing even though there were small signs because it was dark. The route via the signs also seemed to lead through the drink area where cups are kept. I feel like that's not very common for restaurants to have you walk through so it made me question if I was going the right way. The ladies' restroom had small tight stalls. I didn't notice any accessible stalls or restrooms. To be fair, it is possible I missed them due to the low lighting. Overall, I would give the food and service 5 stars. The building itself is the reason i have to give an overall 4-star rating. I appreciate how strongly the restaurant remains loyal to its whimsical ambiance while still serving tasty dishes. Eating there reminds me of the cozy 90s sitcom settings for example from Friends or Sabrina the Teenage Witch. At the same time, we are now in 2026 and I think accessibility and ease of navigation are important considerations for customers. The restaurant serves well for me personally, but it may not be as comfortable or accessible for every guest that dines-in.

The eggplant is fried (or deep fried maybe) and has a really nice taste- the caramelized onions have a bit of spice to them and a reddish color and they go well with the Gruyère. The pizza is cut into 4 slices which are huge and floppy, that I need to fold it slightly, but it's still an enjoyable slice. The crust is really nice- usually I don't eat the whole thing but with this it's not overly thick or oily, and the ends are edible instead of being dense blocks of cardboard. The ambience inside is nice and it's best to come by for a pickup in the middle of a weekday when it's empty to get a quick order.

A friend and I happened into Tino's on a Thursday evening for dinner. Tino's was a favorite of mine…read moremany years ago, so I was excited to return. Unfortunately, this visit did not live up to my memories of the restaurant. We started with the Caesar salad to share. Unfortunately, it was severely lacking in acidity, and the large croutons could have used more garlic and butter flavor. For our entrées, I ordered the Chicken Florentina, while my companion chose the Veal Saltimbocca. The Chicken Florentina did not include the tomatoes or peppers listed on the menu and was instead served over fettuccine with spinach and mozzarella on top. The sauce had a strangely sweet flavor and, although the portion was very generous, the dish overall was lacking in seasoning and flavor. My companion felt similarly about the Veal Saltimbocca, which was also quite bland. Honestly, we were both very disappointed. While the portions were generous, the most flavorful thing we had all evening was the olive oil we dipped our bread into. Unfortunately, I personally would not choose to dine here again. That said, if you prefer very mild or lightly seasoned food, Tino's may be a good option for you. They also offer gluten-free options.

I had come in feeling a little down, but his kindness, attentiveness, and genuine spirit completely shifted my mood.

Shoutout to him--if you visit Maggiano's in Columbia definitely ask for Juan. You won't regret it.

I hadn't been to Carrabba's in probably 10-20 years. The last time I went, children could make…read moretheir own bread. Naturally, I assumed things would be just as good or okay. We came because I had a 10% discount through my credit card, and I thought, "Why not?" I used to like Carrabba's! I even convinced my husband to skip Topgolf for this "experience." The discount ended up saving me $8. Easily the hardest $8 I have ever earned. We walked in and were immediately hit with approximately 1,000 watts of fluorescent lighting. This restaurant was so bright you could see the booths were literally hot-glued to the wall. The hosts handed us approximately 47 menus (actually 10) and directed us to a booth that looked like it had been installed during the Bush administration. We ordered cocktails, appetizers, and entrées. The bread? Excellent. No notes. FOOD: The chicken soup was salty enough to qualify as a preservation method. The Mezzaluna summer special tasted like someone melted a lemon Jolly Rancher onto unfinished pasta and then introduced it to goat cheese. Please avoid the Mezzaluna. It has suffered enough. The lemon berry sangria tasted like someone poured vodka into a glass of lemonade and whispered "berry" over it. And then there was the open kitchen. An open kitchen can be beautiful. Unfortunately, this one was being displayed under stadium lighting, so instead of "fresh Italian cooking," it gave "Applebee's during an IRS audit." Even the bathroom was committed to the experience. Trash cans? Yes. Paper towels? Absolutely not. One lonely hand dryer with a bit more power than me blowing on my own hands. Service: But here's the plot twist: our server was fantastic! All servers were 10/10. Truly wonderful service. I couldn't have asked for a better server while simultaneously being served some of the worst food I've had in this decade. At this point, I can only assume Carrabba's happy hour is an absolute masterpiece keeping this place alive. My recommendations to Carrabba's owner: Dim the lights. Hide the hot-glued booths. Close the kitchen. Reconsider the menu(s). My recommendation to customers: Take any discount you're offered and go somewhere else. I'm not sure why we did this but we took some of the pasta in a box to-go. Afterwards, we explored the small city nearby and after an hour, returned to my car and my husband sat in the car and made a face of horror, disgust, and fear. He asked if I farted due to a foul odor in my car. No... it was the left over pasta in my car. We both laughed and tossed the pasta in the trash before going home. My recommendation to my husband: Next time, we're going to Topgolf.
