Being a fan of the Rinaldo brothers' previous endeavours of T-Dogs and their farmers market table that bore their surname and slung hero sandwiches and cannoli, I was both glad and a little disappointed when I heard they were opening shop in the recently-cavated TGFE location on Windsor. Glad because these guys deserve their own space to serve kickass food, but disappointed because I no longer lived around the corner. What a tease. After giving them some time after the initial opening to find their legs, and hoping for the crowds to settle down, my wife and I came by before one of my night shifts, just after they opened for the evening. The space is very much the same as the old TGFE, but updated with new furnishings and a several new coats of paint. It has the very common black/red/white palette, but here it's different than other spots that do it hyper-modern and chic; here it's much more casual and retro with framed family photos, wood paneling painted white, their classic neon sign, and their very, very red booths. Snagging one of the vibrant vinyl seats, I eagerly scoped out the broader offerings that I had been hearing a lot about. While not as compact as many modern restaurants' menus, Rinaldo's is still a mere fraction of the made-for-the-masses bulk of East Side Mario's, with a few each of apps, salads, heroes, general Italian mains, and several pizzas on offer. I'd heard lots of great things about their mozza sticks, so those were a lock, and my wife and I decided to get one more app and to share one of their pizzas, which we had heard were a decent size. The spicy cauliflower sounded interesting, and would constitute the vegetable portion of our meal, albeit a deep fried one. The mozza sticks arrived in quick order, and the cauliflower shortly thereafter. The thick sticks of breaded cheese were definitely heftier than your usual from-frozen pub mozza sticks. Plus the breading had a much better flavour and a sprinkle of parm and parsley rounded them out nicely, because if fried cheese needs a garnish, it's gotta be more cheese. The dipping sauce was dill-tastic and fresh, although I appreciated the stretchy cheese on its own. Cauliflower is hot right now in food circles, but the spicy cauliflower seemed like a bit of a misnomer, as the only heat seemed to come from a light sprinkling of sliced chiles. That said, the breading was nice and crunchy, and the cauliflower inside was surprisingly smooth and nearly creamy, without being a goopy, vegetal mess. The flavours of the other toppings all worked quite well, with the honey, parsley pesto, and pecorino making for a well-balanced dish (sans spice, anyway). Our pizza was a bit of a wait, but it was a sight to behold when it arrived. Topped with pepperoni, roasted garlic, mozza, Parmigiano Reggiano, and wonderful blobs of ricotta, it was big on great flavours. So many dishes, both Italian and otherwise, will throw a bunch of cheeses in a dish just to brag that it's a "X Cheese Dish", but here each stood out and played a part. The cornicione was airy and crispy, although the inner parts of the pie suffered the floppy doom of all thin crust pizzas. It did reheat quite well the next day though; via a frying pan and not the dreaded microwave, naturally. While not perfectly executed, it was a damned good meal with the structure to be even better with some minor polishing. It's worth the hype - go there and keep this place open until I am able to come back again. read more

See all

This is my birthday go to. Excellent food, exceptional service and a cool vibe. It's not in one of the popular mainstream locations, and maybe that appeals to me as it gives the place a bit of a mom and pop feel. read more

We went here for supper one evening last week after reading Yelp reviews and being new to visiting the area. We had made reservations ahead. We were seated quickly and are orders were taken timely, but it honestly took 50 minutes to get 2 sandwiches with fries and a simple pasta dish. There were 2 waitstaff serving, but the dining room is quite small. They don't have bread or anything to nibble on in the meantime so the wait seems forever. Got good, we found their food good but not great and expensive for what you got. The highlight of what you ordered were the French fries with dip. They had a strange addition of Mayo and arugula to eggplant pharm sandwich. Sandwich rolls are freshly made and very good. They do serve pizza but we didn't try it. read more

Rude service and slow service. How rude can you be to an 80 year old Italian woman and her birthday party! get your shit together!

Sorry Ronaldo's. I was so excited when you opened. You have failed miserably to meet my expectations. The food is decent. Nothing to write home about. Service is where they really suffer. Absolutely atrocious. Haven't been back and won't. Too many good options in the same proximity. Go to Mapatura, pay a little more, if you want the real deal Italian. EDIT: I should note that Ronaldo's isn't a true Italian restaurant, such as Mapatura. It's Italian-American. Regardless, the service is brutal. Won't be back. read more

Thoroughly enjoy this place. Always upbeat, consistently very good food. They get busy here, but patience has always been rewarded. This has become one of our favourite 'go-to' restaurants in Halifax. Our first time here we were stuffed but didn't want to leave. The waitress asked if we wanted a desert with our coffee. She saw us dithering and brought us one of their home-made Boston Creme doughnuts to try out: We split it between the two of us and agreed it was the best we've ever had. Bravo! read more

My husband and I used to love Rinaldos but after this evening's experience, we won't return and won't hesitate to tell our friends about it. The Caeser salad was delicious and we should have stopped there. The chicken parm was so overcooked, it bordered on being burnt. The pasta was just the opposite-undercooked. The waitress messed up our garlic bread order-we wanted it without cheese so it had to be re done. I went with the one that had the cheese. However, it was so soggy, I couldn't eat it. She even admitted it was soggy. Because the owner was busy in the kitchen, we couldn't talk to him. We were told to phone later tonight or tomorrow. Somehow, I don't think it would help. There are too many excellent restaurants in Halifax, I won't waste my money here again. read more

Ok these guys probably think I'm weird because since I saw on Facebook that they deliver ive gotten delivery 3 days in a row now. But all 3 times have just been SO GOOD. Firstly, they make the best Caesar salad ever. It has homemade croutons with delicious seasoning, and big chunks of pancetta in it. The dressing whether it's store bought or not is peppery and delicious. We are also quite convinced they make the best mozza sticks ever. Hugeeeeeee chunks of fresh mozza with an amazing crunchy batter and herb sour cream. So good. SO GOOD. I've also tried both the meatball and chicken Parmesan hero. The meatball wins marginally... the marinara is so flavorful and they put garlic aioli and black olives on it, and the seasoning of the meatballs itself is just to die for. The bread is clearly homemade and it's just delicious. Also huge. I couldn't eat the whole thing. I got the cavatelli with sausage tonight and it was also amazing. The vodka sauce was just ridiculously flavorful and the Italian sausage was also delicious, the flavor combo of the 2 of them together was unreal. Anyway, if you're looking for a solid Italian meal this is it. And I haven't even tried the pizzas yet! read more

Delicious every time. We have some dietary restrictions and preferences. They always accommodate with positivity. read more

We come here fairly often, since it's nearby when I stay with my boyfriend, and it's not usually too busy, but last time we visited it was PACKED! The waitress warned us that it might take up to an hour and a half to get our food... but we weren't worried, because we weren't super ravenous, so we ordered a few appetisers (which came out in normal time) and lots of cider. The waitress took excellent care of us, checking in on us and making sure we weren't dying of starvation or impatience (which we weren't!) and topping up our drinks every now and again. The appetisers (we had mozza sticks, garlic bread and fries) were wonderful, and came with lots of lovely sauces, so when our food arrived eventually, we barely noticed how much time had gone by! We all ordered the buffalo chicken sandwich, which was on special, and it was VERY good - though I have to admit, we were all a little sozzled by this point so I pretty much ate it in one bite :) In short, the food was excellent as always, and the service even more so. We had a great time as a group of four, and I can't wait to come back! read more

Yeah, I know Haligoneans don't have much of a reference for Italian food but they should travel more and find one. The Italian Meatball hero was fine but I've had better. The real problem was the pasta. Hard as a rock. I sent it back and the waitress said "that's how this type of pasta is served"....I'm 46 yrs old...I've eaten a lot of pasta in a lot of restaurants around the world. Nowhere have I had pasta this hard. I love Italian food, I grew up on it in North York and Woodbridge. Unfortunately I will have to go back there or to Italy to get truly authentic Italian food. But if you Haligoneans, who grew up on Lebanese pizza, want to believe this is authentic, don't go to Italy, you'll probably be disappointed. read more

I've eaten at Rinaldo's a few times. This is the first time ordering from Fairview. It was takeout so I have no real service insights. I thought the food was great! We had a pizza that had lots of flavour and I took a chance to hope for a "decent salad "at a pizza place. My Caesar salad was amazing! Looked like it had real bacon not overly dry croutons, subtleness in the dressing (not just overwhelming garlic) as some do. I eat a lot of Caesars and this was really one of the best I've had in a long time. read more

UPDATE: Still 5 stars. We went for dinner - excellent! We tried the Italian hero, eggplant Parmesan hero, chicken parm hero, the classic pizza and the special: gnocchi. All yummy! They catered my Xmas party with heros, tdogs, arugula salad and cavatelli pasta. All were yummy and they cut up everything so we could try all the food. Great communication, easy to deal with by email - not always an easy task. Bonus: I ordered way too much so we had a lot leftover which made excellent lunches for the week. And you'd think I'd be tired of eating here but I had to bring my friends for a brunch get-together and they all loved it. The service is a bit slower than other places, but for this occasion - it allowed us to talk without too much interruption. I had the porchetta hero again - still amazing! And hubby had pancakes with maple butter which he LOVED! I'll have to try a bite next time. As well as the homemade donut. I didn't have it in me to buy one for later, but my friend did. Even though the service was slow, it was good - they didn't have hot chocolate for the kids, but they improvised to make a steamed milk drink (much appreciated). NOTE: Some servers are more personable, helpful and quicker than others, so it depends on the day and who you get. But I wouldn't call it bad service. If you are in a hurry, I'd express that to them before you sit down. ----end of update---- Original 5 star review below: We headed straight to this place because of a hot tip from Trider's at the Halifax Forum market. We were going to go for their "amazing pizza" but it was brunch (makes total sense at 10:30am on a Saturday). In looking at the brunch menu, there were many interesting choices, plus mimosas and other special drinks, desserts and of course coffee/tea. FOOD: I had the most amazing sandwich ever! It's only on the brunch menu - so it's something you'll look forward to each week. Every ingredient on it is so good and they put it together - oh so good! I was hesitant to order it because I didn't know what porchetta and cracklings were. Our server, Ian, was so helpful and attentive that I went for it. And my last 3 bites were the best because all of the egg, avocado, pork and spicy goodness was combined into the bread and yet the crust was still crisp and fresh. I'm not explaining this well - in short, I highly recommend it. The second order was for the Classic Pizza and I just had a bite of it because my order was big - it was also extremely yummy! Great crust and the combo of toppings, sauce and herbs - delightful! DRINKS: lots of good craft brews on tap. Today's mimosa sounded real tasty BUT we didn't partake in drinks today. Just water. It was good to see they had a nice selection for next time. THE SPACE: spacious and bright. Tables and booths. There are levels - we took a booth that was raised up. Outdoor tables too. And side street parking available. Many bus stops nearby. We will be back soon for supper and another brunch date :) Go! read more

Well Rinaldo's...I've given you as much of an effort as anyone could. I've dined over a dozen times, and eaten almost every menu item, including brunch, and specials. I'm trying to root for you. Your biggest problem is inconsistency. I've had outstanding meals, with lovely service. And I've had sub par meals, served from rude, snarky (overworked?) staff. I never really know if I'm going to have a great meal out, or leave with regret and frustration. Atmosphere: Good, but the layout is obviously an issue. You have your main entrance, that collides with staff exiting the "kitchen", staff entering the bar area, people waiting for tables awkwardly close to seated tables, and a bar counter, all in one high traffic place, at you main entrance. Hire a hostess, put them at the corner entrance; it's long overdue. I'm often told to "grab a seat anywhere" by a staff member flying by, only to sit and wait, and wait, while other staff are confused as to who sent me over. And if I am told to wait, that's completely fine, but where? In the way of obviously annoyed staff that have to constantly excuse themselves and squeeze by with plates of food? On the windowsill to hover over people trying to eat? In front of the door blocking the entrance? There is another entrance that is not utilized. Food: When it's good it's reeeeally good. But this is only about 50% of the time. I've ordered the same pizza multiple times with wildly different amounts of toppings. Stay away from the pastas without red sauce; they area always watery and tasteless (minus the brunch carbonara, it's great!). An any red sauce pasta is really really good! Their spaghetti and meatballs are PERFECT! Their Boston cream donuts are also the best donuts in the city (yeah yeah vandal fortune blah blah....they doughnut (dad joke) even compare, sorry). But good luck getting one- I've ordered one every visit, and they have only had the left twice. It doesn't seem to matter if they are just opening for dinner, or brunch. Maybe make more? Or remove them from the dessert menu? Their pizza and apps are where they shine. Epically the monza sticks, although they recently reduced the number you get from 5-4.....disappointing. Service: some of the worst I've ever seen. I've had tipsy staff, staff make rude comments about other guests, make rude comments to us, get far too friendly, tell us they "don't know what good on the menu because they don't eat here", forget about orders, thought we were being served by other servers, forget our bill.....they list goes on and on and on..... These issues are also from about 6 different servers, and over multiple visits with varying levels of business. I can understand if a server is short and to the point at peek hours. But when the place if half full and its 30min into dinner service....there's no excuse. Overall review.....goodluck to the guest I guess? If they are on, they are ON and it's great. But if they are off, you'll leave wishing you had stayed home and suffered through a Dominos delivery. read more

Everything is good here. It's a great neighbourhood spot. The pizza pies are fantastic with a good savoury sauce, delectable crust, and good topping combinations. The brunch is also well worth tasting - we had the pancakes with a side of fried chicken, as well as the breakfast sandwich. read more

My friend told me there was a new spot for foodie in town, that's why I walked in couples days before . Small lunch menu, I ordered a meat ball hero and some side dishes, to be honest, the food was good , it's hard to go wrong with a lot cheese and sauce in sandwiches with meat ball( I'm a cheese and meat person). But I can't give more than three star, coz I sat there wait for over fifteen mins for severing , at least 20 mins for a order sandwich and fires ... Well the waiter was still really friendly, maybe there was nothing he could do anyway if they short of staffs. Will I go back?! I think yes. Just please don't let me wait too long again... read more

It's a little restaurant, my son suggested as we were looking for a restaurant. Never expected it to be so good! Was very impressed. I had the eggplant , was great. Both my husband and son also enjoyed. Highly recommended!! read more

Came in and sat ourselves. Restaurant was half full, staff didn't notice our presence even though we were in the middle of a small open seating area. Had to request menus and water. We then later asked someone if we could order a coffee, it never came. After 40min no one took our order so we walked out. read more

Ordered takeout from here today and everything was EXCELLENT. Got the Caesar salad, meatball hero, and pizza samuele. Everything was soooooo delicious. Highly recommend!! read more

Blink and you might miss it, but there's a new little Italian place on Windsor + Duncan brought to you by the T-Dogs guys (who, incidentally, grew up working at Salvatores in the North End). The decor is on the simple, utilitarian side, but I'm guessing that may be because the restaurant is brand new and still finding its way. But the staff here are friendly and engaging and all the food I've tried so far has been delicious. The mozza sticks are large, close to a loonie in diameter, sprinkled with crushed herbs and more cheese, served with herbed sour cream. I like mine a little more melty, but damn, it's deep-fried cheese... no way anyone can mess that up. The fries brought back some happy memories - I lived for a little while near the Portobello Road Market in London, where I had many a paper cone stuffed with garlicky hand-cut fries dusted with shredded parmesan cheese. Perhaps it's an unfair comparison because no one does chips like the Brits, but these were just about as good and served with garlic aioli, which as everyone knows is the only civilized way to eat them. On to our mains, which were both pizzas... as I've said before, I'm from Pictou County and I take my pizza serious as sh!t. The two I had (Classic and Pizza Erica) were amazing. The sauce was perfect, tons of cheese, and the sesame seed crust on the Erica was a nutty, crunchy delight. We finished off a cannoli each - and again, this may be a little unfair because the only other cannoli I've ever had came from Carlo's Bakery in NYC - it was sweet and good, but not a stand-out treat. Lunch was served quickly and the recommendations we got from our server were delicious. The only caveat here is that the dinner service was slow. Don't come starving or short on time or you'll be eating dinner cranky and that'd be a real shame, because there's nothing not to enjoy about the food. read more

I'm a big fan of this plan. I've never had a bad meal, and have now tried most of the menu items. Specifically, I love their white pizza and of course, the homemade mozza sticks. The reason for my 4 star rating is simply - the service. Any time I've gone, the service has been slow and a bit on the unfriendly side. This shouldn't detract you from going! read more

Great little Italian spot! Started off with the Italian fries which were perfectly crispy on the outside yet soft on the inside. The roasted aioli and parmagiano reggiano definitely took these French fries to another level. For my main I ordered the Cavatelli & Meatballs and it was very tasty! The handmade cavatelli was cooked perfectly and the meatballs were to die for! The meatballs were a generous size and so flavourful. The only thing I would change are the amount of meatballs given. I believe there were only 3-4, but I definitely could have eaten 5-6 because they were so good! The service was fast and the waiters were very friendly! read more

Rinaldo's - Italian Near Me - Halifax, Nova Scotia

Worst experience . Service is scattered at heat , and the pizza is soggy and undercooked. Where do you get your servers from? The NS?

We reserved a table for 11 for an 80th birthday party for the most amazing Italian lady. Our 6pm reservation was met with us being promptly seated and small glasses of water for each seat as well as 2 wine bottles of water for the entire group. Our water was never refilled for the duration of our visit. Everyone placed orders and a short while later the appetizers arrived. Not one person was all that happy with their apps but hey, maybe the main course would be better right? Wrong. A pizza showed up for 3 people at the table that were sharing it (The pizza was the only meal that was satisfying). 15-20 mins later the next "batch" of food showed up. These were the pasta dishes, all of which were not good. The spaghetti came as clumpy balls of mushed together pasta reminiscent of yesterday's meal from the fridge. At this point there were 2 people who had still not received food. 2 dishes left, one salad and one pasta dish. The salad arrived at 7:37 and the last pasta dish arrived 10ish minutes later. Our guest who had the last dish delivered of the evening said they didn't want it anymore and to send it back as the whole table had finished what they were going to eat of the food they were served. We are almost 2 hours into a seating at this point. All of a sudden the cook comes to our table and accuses us of being rude. We firmly told him that not only was the service unacceptable but how dare he come and confront us in front of an entire restaurant. He continues to confront us while taking down his mask and aggressively accusing us of being rude for expecting our meals at relatively the same time. We were then told to leave and never come back. He expressed he didn't want our money and to just leave. We explained that his customer service was lacking and his response was that he doesn't do customer service. This was the most unprofessional, disgusting and insane encounter I have ever had at a restaurant in my entire life. This sentiment is shared by the other 10 people at the table. We are literally blown away that someone would feel they can speak to customers like we were spoken to tonight. Bear in mind, this was a table comprised of mostly Italians who couldn't believe how bad the food was. I have never left a yelp review in my life but people need to know the epic trainwreck that was our first and only ever visit to this "restaurant". read more

Superb! Best addition to Halifax this year. They don't have a vast menu, but do everything they do fanatically. Chicken Parmesan and Eggplant Parmesan are amazing. Their sauce is the best I have had anywhere. My ONLY suggestion would be to give add the amazing home made pasta side to the Eggplant Parmesan as well. I always have to share mine with my date. ; ) I hope to try their take on a Lasagna if they ever add it to their menu. Rock on. read more

I love this place, I come here practically every day. Food is fantastic and it feels like I'm a part of the Rinaldo's family!

Wonderful food, made with care. Today, was my first visit. I was not disappointed. Kudos to the management and staff for understanding good customer care from the moment one walks through the door. New York Italian-styled food is back in HRM! read more

I've never written anyone a negative review as I know what it's like to be in the service industry and have an off night but this is the second occasion we've had this server ruin our dinner at Rinaldo's. He was so rude, and made it seem as though we were inconveniencing him by being there. He forgot just about everything we asked for, and that was ok, it happens to everyone. But he blamed it on the bartender, the dishwasher, etc. At the end of the meal he accidentally mixed up our receipts, which again was ok, but then he proceeded to rip the receipts out of everyone at the tables hands and walk away huffing and puffing. I love Rinaldo's and think it's an awesome environment but I wouldn't return in fear that this guy would be our server again, I've never felt so uncomfortable at a restaurant. read more

I had a chicken parmesan sandwich, and it was so amazing. I definitely recommend. The service was great and the workers were very kind.

Have been here three times and each time has been the same. Waiting in a very cramped and warm entrance with wait staff bumping into you as they walk upstairs to the kitchen. Once seated it took our server 10 minutes to bring water, the. Another 10 for drink orders. 25 minutes after sitting we got our drinks (which were draft beers, and bottled soda water). Once we ordered our food, it was over an hour before sitting down before we were served which was pasta and pizzas. Last time being there it was an hour and a half before we received our pizza and hero sandwich order. Over the 2.5 hour sitting the server offered us drinks twice. Once we had sat with empty plates for 20 minutes we were offered one more round of drinks. When we declined it took a suggestion from the table to get our bills as the server went to walk away without clearing the table, or offering dessert. This is all with a half filled restaurant and eventually only three tables by the end. The food is good and given the lack of options in the city for this style is worth trying a few times. But the service has always been very poor and the food takes an eternity to arrive. It would be smart for the owners to move to a new, larger location. read more

The food and service was incredible! ...that chocolate cream pie was life changing. Will be back again and again

Finally found what's missing in my life - Rinaldo's chicky chicky parm parm sandwich. I will be back often.

Yup...as good as it gets..mozza sticks, meatball hero and a classic pizza..it don't get no better..

I tried Rinaldo's food on few occasions at Good Robot and at the market and food it pretty good, if not stellar. Was excited about them opening a brick and mortar location. I've been in to Rinaldo's new location a few times now for lunch and have found it generally pretty good. The sauce is killer. They have a great sauce recipe, very flavourful. The eggplant hero at $9 dollars is tasty if arguably a little bit overpriced and maybe a little bit spartan compared to sandwiches that I've eaten around New England. The fries for an extra whopping $5 were a disappointment. Not bad, but not that amazing and adding them to your meal brings lunch with no drinks or anything else added to $15 + tax and tip. The classic pizza slice is good, but again, arguably slightly expensive at $5 plus tax and tip. The chicken hero I found disappointing in comparison to the eggplant -- lacking in the powerful flavour that the eggplant benefited from, and also more soggy than I expected. Also arguably slightly steep at $10 (and yeah I get that it's Halifax and most everything is priced higher here than you'd expect). The beer selection is good, many local favourites on tap including Spindrift, Unfiltered, Good Robot, and others. I found the service from some of the servers slightly strange and unfriendly, others were great. I assume they will work this out in time. I found it good, but not amazing, somewhat unprofessional service and a teency bit steep for a regular lunch spot. Would love to try it for dinner and takeout/delivery in future. Hope that they do well, work out kinks and improve upon a good start. read more

Went for brunch last week and had the pancakes - delicious! Can't wait to return for dinner.

I've been here about 3-4 times now and the food is rarely disappointing. With that said, the menu of late certainly has been disappointing. They seem as if they've cut back on more interesting pastas and pizzas in favour of more generic varieties such as chicken and and eggplant parm (which are two of only three pastas now offered and two of only three sandwiches offered). There are seven pizzas to choose from but three are literally just cheese pizzas (four if you include the garlic fingers). They are still delicious - but come on. It's difficult to justify 20-21 bucks for a pizza with just cheese no matter how many cheeses you put on it or how fancy the cheeses may be. The most interesting menu item is Antonio's clam pie but if you don't like clams/seafood then you are SOL in terms of getting any pizza with a protein on it. I would be a lot more accepting of that if this were a vegetarian joint, but it isn't. If they bring in more variety aka more interesting and less stereotypical Italian menu options, I'd likely amend my review to 4 or even 5 stars. read more

Having tried some of their offerings from their pop-up @ Good Robot, I was ecstatic to try the official Rinaldos restaurant. i wasn't disappointed! We only made it for brunch, but everything I had was made with care and tasted amazing. The servers seemed to be just getting into the swing of things but were friendly and pleasant. The boston cream donut was a real game changer for me. I can't wait to come back for lunch and dinner! read more

Amazing food, amazing service. I have tried practically everything on the menu. Best mozzarella sticks and cauliflower ever. Hands down, the most delicious pizza that I have had. Definitely going back tomorrow! read more

Great food, but they don't want to serve you if you are not one of their regular hipster client it appeared to me. Painfully slow service and lack of menu items available read more

I'd give here a 3.5 I think. I've been back twice since my first visit. Came by myself for brunch on an overcast Sunday in September and was waiting for them to open at 9:57 with a few others on the sidewalk. We were let in right away and I took a two-seater table over by the bar. Friendly service. I tried the BREAKFAST PORCHETTA HERO (Porchetta, cracklings, fried egg, avocado, tomato, aged cheddar, house hot sauce, garlic mayo. $9) which was quite good with nice flavor and the mix of textures, very large so a bit hard to eat without making a mess, but definitely enough of a meal by itself, as it is served. I wasn't sure, so asked the server if it would be enough and she basically said depends on how hungry you are, so I did order a $3 side of home fries as well, which was NOT needed so I took them home afterwards and made a skillet out of them the next day. They were a large size portion too, and standard. Good drip coffee took a few minutes to arrive, but that's fine. My last visit here was for lunch on an overcast Tuesday in September and although the place was about half full, it was very loud with conversation and music. I don't mind that, as I could still converse with my friend, but it was noticeable. We wanted to try the pizza so each got a slice of the Classic (Our family's original thin crust pizza-mozzarella, garlic-infused olive oil, tomato sauce, mozzarella, Parmgiano Reggiano, herbs. $5), and they are quite large, possibly enough for lunch itself, although I had a side Caesar salad and my friend a 2nd slice of the Pepperoni with fries, as he's a pretty big eater. lol We were both happy with the pizza, as the crust is a good texture, lots of flavor. My Caesar was better than average actually as well, with real slices of bacon, fresh parm, etc. Although the menu is pretty small, I am really wanting to come back here some evening to try their homemade pasta. read more

See all
