It turned out to be such an enjoyable spot to dine, and we really appreciated their effort. Our server, Olive, was absolutely fantastic! She was attentive, professional, and genuinely welcoming. Every detail of her service was handled beautifully. A big thank you to Olive for making our evening so enjoyable! As for the food, the pizza was absolutely delicious! Our steak had a wonderful smoky flavor from being cooked over an open flame, although we weren't particularly impressed with the meat itself. The salad and potatoes, however, were excellent. Unfortunately, the chocolate dessert served in a glass was disappointing. I understand the idea of balancing chocolate with salt and pistachios to create a more complex flavor profile, but this dessert was surprisingly not sweet at all. It genuinely tasted like salty chocolate, which I found unpleasant. Definitely not something we enjoyed. One other thing stood out to us from a hospitality perspective. We were seated directly across from the pizza chef and the chef working the open-fire grill, yet neither acknowledged us throughout the evening. Not even a smile, eye contact, or a simple "How's the food?" I completely understand that chefs are focused on cooking and that guest interaction isn't necessarily their responsibility. However, when you're working in an open kitchen with guests sitting right in front of you, a little acknowledgment goes a long way. What made it particularly noticeable was that they were chatting with each other throughout the evening while seemingly ignoring the guests just a few feet away. It felt rather unwelcoming, especially in an otherwise excellent hospitality environment. Overall, we loved the atmosphere, the hostesses were wonderful, Olive provided outstanding service, and most of the food was delicious. A little more guest engagement from the open-kitchen team would make the experience even better.

I have to apologize to my Sicilian Grandfather who passed away a number of years ago, because my…read moredinner at The Annex Kitchen felt like Sunday dinner. My wife and I had an amazing experience last night- from the appetizer to our main dishes. Everything was executed just perfectly- I wouldn't change a thing with the food. We started with the arancini,which are deep fried risotto balls with mozzarella and pesto embedded in. These little delights are a must try as they are the perfect blend of creamy , salty and crunchy. For our entrees, we ordered the Margherita pizza and rigatoni with sausage. First of all, the wood fired pizza was cooked perfectly with a nice balance of sweetness from the pizza sauce and crunch factor from the dough. The homemade rigatoni pasta was to die for with the sausage ragu working its magic including a subtle spice added throughout to give it that nice kick of flavor. Well done team Annex! As a Sicilian who grew up on the real stuff, I can tell you that this place hits every mark. 5 stars from me and I can't wait to come back! P.S This isn't fast food- expect to wait a bit. Trust me it will be worth the wait! And oh, the dining room is freezing. Bring a coat , and eat fast so your pizza doesn't get cold.

Unfortunately, the cleanliness of the outside patio was really disappointing. The tables were visibly dirty and sticky, yet the water cups were placed upside down directly on the tables.

It honestly made me uncomfortable knowing the rims of the cups we drink from were sitting directly on a dirty table. Great food and a great server, but the patio tables definitely need more attention when it comes to cleanliness and sanitation.

In today's very competitive world, it's more important than ever for businesses to retain their…read morecustomers. Even more importantly, as customer service continues to drop, it's even more important to respect them with the old adage "...the customer is always right." That old adage is generally a good rule of thumb, Especially if the customer is a longtime customer, and has a reasonable problem that needs fixing. After going to Andiamo's for over 10 years with my entire family and friends, we will no longer be giving this business our service because of the ignorant and rude behavior from management/owner, Pat D. The facts are so stupid that it feels trivial that this was turned into a big argument, but it is what it is, and I will be honest. And here's why: we put an order in for two large soups and two sides of marinara to take to a family who was sick. A typical order of one soup usual includes 5 slices of bread and at least five butters to match. When we delivered the item, we realized that for that large order, they had only put in five pieces of bread and five butters for the whole family. It basically is like having a salad without dressing. It defeated the whole ability for four people to eat the soup. No problems mistakes happen let's just call them. So I called to address this, and I assumed they would either comp the meal or give half off or something reasonable. Pat, the manager was called in and proceeded to argue about not being willing to do anything about it. It didn't matter that they had messed up or that it ruined the meal, he was extremely rude and minimally cooperative. At the end of a 10 minute back-and-forth, which got ridiculous, he finally agreed to give five dollars off. So we returned the next time to order a large order of the marinara sauce and to ask for extra bread. At that point, Pat got involved again and decided having a tantrum about giving away extra bread, despite the fact that they've done so constantly all the time in the past. I pointed out that a pint of Marina was being bought for that purpose and that's why the extra bread would be great and he continue to argue and be disrespectful. Very long story short, he ended up giving us the items for free, commanding us to "never come back as a customer." That was unbelievably ignorant, shortsighted, and ridiculous. I have no problem giving my money to another business. There's nothing that special about them even though I enjoyed their marinara and soup. He would rather lose thousands of dollars of future business than to give away free bread? What is wrong with this man. Maybe he needs to retire. Either way my family friends and I will all be told about this and no one will be returning. Good job, Pat.

The bread and butter.....Oh lawd! That butter is so soft and fluffy! This is where you need to be careful! Or you will be full before your meal comes out! The beginning of the disappointment! Then the sad salad came out! This was some Iceberg lettuce, and a few croutons, and the salad dressing was just creamy, and flavorless! They could have thrown some tomatoes and onions on that salad! it is an Italian restaurant, right? Just saying Mushroom Sauce We read this dish wrong, we were expecting white sauce with mushrooms, it was a marinara sauce. I wouldn't have ordered this 1 of 2 options for the vegetarians. But this sounds like the mushrooms are sauteed in the sauce. No! It looks like they opened a can of stewed cut tomatoes and laid a few mushrooms on top! No effort at all with seasoning it. It was just bland. Didn't even want to take it home and doctor it up. I literally just took about 4 bites, and I couldn't eat anymore! I should have ordered Mizithra Cheese & Browned Butter instead of the mushroom sauce pasta! Maria was super nice and asked how we liked it! We told her we didn't. She offered to get us something else, and we chose not to accept her offer. The star of the show! Spumoni Ice Cream Our classic blend of chocolate, cherry, and pistachio ice cream! This was so good, loved all the flavors. I would add this to my, would go back for, if I was going to go back. They need to do better!

An Evening That Felt Like Family at DiCicco's!…read more Last night, my wife and I decided to stop in at DiCicco's on West Shaw Avenue in Fresno for dinner. What started out as a simple evening together turned into one of those wonderful experiences that reminds you why some places are so special. We decided to sit at the bar, where we had the pleasure of visiting with Simona, who was bartending. From the moment we sat down, she made us feel right at home. As the evening went on, a group of people came in, and before we knew it, we were all visiting, laughing, and sharing stories about Italy, wine, and life. It was one of those spontaneous evenings where strangers become friends and time just seems to slip away. And the food? Absolutely delicious! We started with bruschetta, followed by a salad, and then enjoyed the Chicken Alla Cinzia. Everything was outstanding! But what really made the evening memorable wasn't just the food. It was the people, the conversation, the laughter, and the genuine warmth of the entire experience. For a little while last night, I honestly felt like I was sitting around a table with family and friends, enjoying great food, good wine, and even better company. A heartfelt thank you to Simona and everyone who made our evening so enjoyable. If you're looking for great Italian food and a place where you can feel like part of the family, I highly recommend DiCicco's on West Shaw Avenue in Fresno. Sometimes the best evenings aren't planned. They just happen. And last night was one of them!
