This is a terrific option, especially during peak season when everything is crowded. I tried the pepperoni pizza and the sausage pizza. Both choices were good and I would eat them again. I posted pics of both pies. Salute!

We used to eat here once, sometimes twice, a week years ago, but we stopped because the food and…read moreservice had gone downhill. We decided to give it another chance tonight and ordered takeout, hoping things had improved. Unfortunately, they haven't. The person taking our order read it back to us three different times, and it was still wrong. Our order was over $90 and included a large pizza, Chicken Marsala with fettuccine (which we even paid an upcharge for), and Chicken Parmesan. We asked if we could substitute the included salads for Caesar salads, even if we had to pay the difference, but were told they no longer allow substitutions. That was disappointing but understandable, so we ordered a separate Caesar salad instead. When we got home, the Chicken Marsala had no fettuccine--and in fact, no pasta at all, despite paying extra for it. The Marsala sauce was so watery it looked more like broth than sauce, and it came with only two small pieces of chicken. The chicken was tough and honestly some of the worst we've ever had. It was completely inedible. The Chicken Parmesan wasn't any better, and neither meal was eaten. The pizza was just okay, but since the two entrées were inedible, there wasn't enough food for the four of us. For over $90, this was an extremely disappointing meal. We gave this restaurant another chance after years away, but unfortunately, it reminded us why we stopped coming in the first place.

We have been loyal customers of Asaro's for seven years. My parents are regulars who visit…read morefrequently, and whenever family comes to town from up north, this is where we bring them. It has always been our go-to. This past Sunday, our experience was deeply disappointing and frankly unlike anything we have encountered here before. We ordered two pizzas and salads. The margherita pizza -- which my parents had ordered just one week prior without any issues -- arrived completely different. It had an additional cheese layered beneath the fresh mozzarella that was overcooked and almost burnt. The crust on both pizzas was so hard it could not be folded (anyone from the East Coast knows you fold your pizza), and my son was unable to cut through it with a knife and fork. It was inedible. We sent both pizzas back. The server returned and offered to remake only one, insisting the second was fine. It was not. When we pointed out that the margherita is traditionally just fresh mozzarella, tomato sauce, and basil -- and that this was not what was served -- we were told "this is how we do it." We have been ordering this pizza for seven years. It was not how they do it. The one pizza that was remade came back only marginally better. We did not ask again. From that point, our table was completely abandoned. Every glass at our table was empty. Not the server, not a busser, not a single person passing by stopped to offer water or check on us. My father eventually had to go inside to find someone. My son had to walk to our car in the parking lot to retrieve his water bottle, and I went to my car to get a sparkling water I happened to have in the cup holder. That is how thirsty we were and how little attention our table received. The indifference started even before the food arrived. When we declined cocktails and handed back the drink list, letting the server know we would all just be having water, the reaction was visibly dismissive and unwelcoming -- not the kind of response anyone expects when simply choosing not to order alcohol. The hostess, as has been the case on prior visits, was visibly disgruntled and unwelcoming. We understand that Sunday service is busy. We were patient and did not make a scene. We simply wanted food that was edible and basic attentiveness as paying customers. Neither was provided. My mother, who has been one of their most consistent regulars, left saying she did not want to return. That says everything. For a restaurant that benefits enormously from a captive local audience and steady tourist traffic, this level of disregard for loyal, long-term customers is disappointing. We hope management takes this feedback seriously.

The smell of garlic and basil was extremely prominent in a good way. The service was quick as we were the first in the establishment for lunch.

When we arrived, there was no host at the front, and we stood waiting for about seven minutes before anyone acknowledged us and seated us, even though the restaurant was not busy. Our server approached the table, abruptly dropped off two glasses of ice water, and asked, "What are you drinking today?" without introducing herself or even greeting us. We ordered wine, but after waiting 15 minutes, we noticed our glasses had been prepared and were sitting on the bar while she walked past us several times without bringing them over. When my husband politely asked if she could bring the wine, she responded, "I have three people ahead of you." We explained that the wine had already been sitting there for over 10 minutes, which seemed to annoy her. We ordered fish and steak, then waited another 30 minutes before our salads finally arrived. Unfortunately, the salads were poor quality and didn't even appear fresh. At that point, we had completely lost our patience and decided to leave without finishing our meal. We will never return and would not recommend this restaurant based on our experience.
