    Garlic rolls
    Judy M.

    I had my birthday dinner there last night June 29th and as usual the food was delicious! Provinos gives you $14.50 towards any meal for your birthday but you must go on your actual birthday and show ID. The only meal that you can get absolutely free is the spaghetti with meat sauce or marinara as it is $14.50. I think when the pandemic was over you were able to get anything but in today's economy I'm happy with the $14.50! My friend and I both love the salad (I get all the beets bc he doesn't like them ) plus he gets his rolls sans garlic whereas I love garlic! I got my usual Canneloni El Bianco which is SO GOOD that you know it has to be bad for you but what the heck it's once a year! He chose sausage and peppers and for once he couldn't clean his plate! The birthday person also gets a scoop of ice cream with a cookie and candle. Our waitress Allie was great with us but she forgot several items for the table next to us that was my birthday twin Mary who turned 83. Of course, Mary kept her on her toes . The ambiance here is lovely except the place could use a deep cleaning until they do it don't look at the lamps on the tables if dust offends you. The health score was perfect. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves once again!

    Came here as a walk-in with my husband the other night. We were seated quickly and our server arrived shortly after. She was very kind and attentive throughout our entire meal. They offer complimentary bread and salad which were both amazing! Was super impressed by the quality and how many different veggies were in the salad. For my entree I got the egg plant parm which came with your choice of pasta. My husband got the baked ziti. The food was very tasty! I do think the sauce on the pasta needed some more flavor but for the price it's an amazing amount of food. We left stuffed and can't wait to go back, specifically for the amazing service and yummy garlic bread!

    My husband and I came here last night, first time. We were already in the plaza. We were greeted immediately and did not have to wait for a table. We ordered so so much and everything was amazing! The house salad and rolls were my favorite! I can't remember our server's name but she was really sweet and polite. The entire staff seemed friendly. I can still taste how good the food was lol. We'll definitely be back!

    Our food! I had the Vegetable Eggplant Parmigiana and hubby had the Sausage and Chicken Penne Pasta-spicy. Came plates very nice and hot.

    *ASK FOR LOUISE* So this was our first time here. We had to wait, but not long. We were walked back to a nice little cozy booth with sim lighting and old 20's music The food was amazing! I didn't have to add anything to anything! You can see my noodles are separate as well. Wonderfully done! For our first experience here, I had give a review. I would definitely recommend!

    If I'm being honest, I came to Provino's specifically to order their eggplant parmigiana hoping it would put me into labor like the myth claims. I didn't have time to dine in, so I ordered it to go which they made very quickly, and when I was paying for my meal, they packaged a salad and some garlic rolls for me as well. I was confused and told them I only ordered the eggplant parm. They informed me that ALL to go orders still come with complimentary salad and rolls which I was surprised by and grateful for. I mean who wouldn't be happy about some free extra food? Anyways, I got home and opened my eggplant parmigiana, and I saw in the container that there was also a bit of spaghetti noddles with meat sauce packed in there as well off to the side. Needless to say, I was very impressed with the food I received which I had initially thought was a bit pricey to be paying $20 for just a dish of pasta to go. But, I got a whole meal out of it and had enough to share with my husband too. It was definitely worth the drive and the $20. The salad portion was huge, especially for being free. The garlic rolls came with 6 of them, and they were AMAZING. I honestly would come back here just for those alone. And lastly, the eggplant parm- the portion was much bigger than I expected it would be, more layers than I expected, somehow still stayed warm for my drive home until I ate it, and they were very generous on the sauce. Plus like I mentioned, the side of spaghetti included as well. In addition to being plentiful, it was all very delicious, and I very much enjoyed my meal, especially for it being a to go order.

    There is a reason why certain restaurants stand the test of time. This Italian spot is one of them. If you read no other reviews, read this one. Why? Because this used to be my go-to spot back in High School during the 90s to fuel up prior to one of our cross country races. Back then, you came to get wasted on garlic bread, salad and pasta. Our tastebuds were still in the adolescent stage so we had no idea what was good Italian and what wasn't. Fast forward to my mom's birthday here this past week and my first time eating here again since in my 20s. A 20+ year gap of not eating here. And wow, the nostalgia that hit walking in. The garlic bread rolls, dripping and swimming in a bowl of garlic butter, were just outstanding! The salad they provide for the table was phenomenal! And my meal, the sausage and chicken over penne pasta, was the absolute best chicken and sausage I've had. I had NO clue this place was that damn good. Our server was awesome (his picture included) and they did a great job taking care of my mom for her birthday! The house wine isn't so great (we had some at the mini bar upfront while waiting for our table) but the bottle of merlot we had for the table was perfect. My only teeny complaint is that they should put a few seats at that bar for possible diners. I highly recommend. They are still knocking it out of the park after all these years

    Visit: 9/21/2024 time: 856p Customer Service: 5 stars: the manager on duty I interacted with was an African american male, gave me spectacular Customer service. The waitress assigned to us phenomenal and very attentive. Food: 5 stars: I was a big fan of scallinis on cobb Pkwy in Smyrna but they closed down. Provinos pretty much as the same menu. It was totally worth the drive in my opinion. The chicken and sausage penne has been one of my favorites for the last 20 years and I must say nothing has changed but the portion size, the flavor is still there. I'm a huge fan of the salad and garlic rolls. I'm a tad biased because I've been going to scalinis and provinos (Kennesaw location) for 20 plus years. Same great Taste and value which is why I've been a Customer all these years. Price point: 5 stars: I think everything is priced fairly. I've been coming here for years and they have diligently tried to keep prices affordable. Portion size 4: I understand why the portion sizes are a tad smaller look at the Twit in office -_- but I appreciate a family of 4 can eat here, LEAVE FULL, and feel like they got their monies worth despite the tiny difference in portion size. Cleanliness: 5 stars: I came right as their rush was ending and the place was tidy. Overall: my experience was great. I enjoyed eating here and appreciated the warm and welcoming professional staff. My son has autism and they made sure he was having a great dinning experience and I really appreciated that. Great Good Guys, KEEP UP THE FANTASTIC WORK! I drove 1 hr and 20 minutes just to dine here, worth the drive!

    These garlic rolls are good.

    Say I'm on a low-carb diet. Can I have the option to order any dish and just swap the pasta for some vegetables?

    I just ate at Provino's and asked for my chicken dinner to not have the side of pasta. The waitress didn't miss a beat and asked if I wanted steamed broccoli or mixed vegetables instead. I had the broccoli.

    I've driven by this place countless times and when my husband came here for a work event and raved…read moreabout it, I knew it was time to try it. We were here on a Monday night (President's day holiday) and it was crowded. I'm glad I made a reservation through OpenTable. Once seated at a table in the middle of the dining area, I noticed it was a little stuffy. The table can seat four but I think it would be very packed with all the plates. I noticed the plate I had when I sat was dirty so I just switched it with another vacant plate. The server took away occupied silverware and plates. It felt more spacious. Focaccia bread was brought out with sun dried tomatoes dip and it was delicious!! Not tarty at all and I wish there was more of that dip because it was so good. My husband warned me that their portions were dainty so we ordered calamari appetizer (I highly recommend) and caprese salad (also good and fresh). My husband got tomato basil Alfredo fettuccini with chicken and I had Alfredo fettuccini with salmon. The salmon was cooked to perfection. I found it odd that the server asked how I liked it cooked and I elected for well done. It was so tender and buttery just melts in your mouth. The fettuccini was okay. The texture of the noodles were dumpling like maybe it's homemade but still good. I did order broccolini as a side but someone dropped the ball and that's why I had to dock a star. Overall, I think it's a romantic place to bring a date but the servers aren't too warm but still professional. My husband said there's a business event section upstairs and offers privacy. I think his only complaint was that the logistics of the "buffet" appetizers was awkward so a lot of the food went to waste. I think he mentioned more serving ware like plates and serving spoons would have been helpful. I also think the to go bag is very nice. It's like a reusable grocery bag and fairly large. It's a nice touch. I saw a lady bring her dog. I don't remember seeing an outside patio and I have a dog myself and am a dog lover. I'm not sure what that was about (is there a separate area?).

    Pretty place, really crowded. I liked the complimentary cheese bread with tomato dip. We also liked…read moreour martinis! We got the artichokes appetizer which was good. Then we got entrees. Not the best. The tomato basil fettuccine Alfredo - it was recommended as being "amazing" and the "most popular" dish.... It left a lot to be desired. The noodles were extremely over done with some noodles actually burnt. A lot of noodles were actually stuck together. The noodles were worse than if a college kid boiled store bought noodles and then forgot about them on the stove. The Alfredo sauce wasn't necessarily bad but it needed to be creamier and needed more flavor. I will say there was a lot of blackened chicken on the pasta, but again, needed more flavor. The pepperoni flatbread was ok. Extremely thin. The server told us it had the pepperoni that curls into little cups. That was false. It was regular pepperoni - which is fine!! But the flatbread overall just wasn't great. I know this is an Italian place in a shopping center in Gwinnett, but I was still disappointed.

    Located @ 1565 Scenic Hwy S, Snellville, GA 30078…read more I stopped in for lunch today and tried the Creamy Garlic Fettuccine with Garlic Shrimp. This is one of the limited time Season of Garlic dishes. You can also choose to add either Salmon or Chicken as your protein. I'd definitely recommend this dish to my friends and family. It was delicious. Debbie was our waitress and her service was superb from start to finish. She was extremely attentive and ensured that my lunch was served piping hot.

My wife went to the restroom and observed a worker come in use the restroom and leave out without washing her hands, the employee was identified as one of the worker at the front hostess counter.. The whole front counter was playing (playing in each others hair, seen one pulling on another employee pants from the back, observed one guy butting his nails then went to back and picked up a to go order as well as two on their mobile phones. They look to be having a good time with a manager as she was dressed differently from the others.. Upon going to restroom myself to wash my hands, I notice playing in the area right behind the host desk by employees and the sections right before restrooms employees was gathering laughing and joking.. The bar attendant came to take our orders, but upon him returning with waters and once again noticing playing at front host desk we decided to leave and go somewhere else to spend our money.. Overall the staff needs counseling and training..
