The waitress did a great job explaining and her recommendations were spot on! We started off with the bruschetta. It was very fresh and layered with flavors! We then ordered the Salsiccia Italiana (Mozzarella, Sausage, basil, olive oil, sea salt) and the Crepa (Mozzarella, bacon, basil, garlic, balsamic glaze, olive oil, sea salt). We both agreed the the Crepa was our favorite but they were both very good! The Italian sausage was very flavorful. We ate half of each pizza and saved room for dessert. Our waitress recommended the S'mores with added cookie dough. It was so yummy and worth the calories! We love supporting these type of specialty restaurants in St Joe. We will definitely be back!

I…read morearrived before everyone else and they were BUSY, so I grabbed a seat at the bar and had a glass of Prosecco while I waited. Once the rest of our party arrived, we were seated and had a great dinner. The portions here are extremely generous, everything was flavorful, and there was definitely plenty of food to go around. But the stuffed artichoke was the surprise of the night for me! It was my first time ever having one and it was FABULOUS. I would absolutely order it again. They also have a really nice birthday perk. As long as someone at the table orders an entrée, the birthday guest gets a complimentary chicken spiedini. And definitely save a little room for the spumoni ice cream because it was delicious! Overall, Garozzo's is more than just going out for Italian food. It feels like an experience. Big portions, great food, a lively atmosphere, and especially good for birthdays and celebrations. Definitely recommend!

Because we had a baby with us, we were escorted into a separate room and placed at an oversized 8-person table for four people. Before I could even sit down--let alone receive or look at a menu--the server aggressively pressed me for our drink orders. Expecting guests to order drinks when they haven't been given a menu or even had a chance to sit down shows a lack of basic hospitality training. To make matters worse, the floor underneath our table was covered in leftover food from previous guests and clearly hadn't been swept. Between the rushed service, the isolated seating, and the unsanitary conditions, we decided to get up and leave. We won't be returning.

I thought calling my local Pizza Hut would be enough to file a formal complaint and get some kind…read moreof resolution--but it didn't go as planned. So, here we are. Let me tell you about my experience today at the Blue Springs, MO location. It was as disappointing as ordering a pizza and only getting the box. Honestly, I might have preferred that. First, the pizza itself. It barely had any pepperoni or cheese on it. I've seen crackers with more toppings. When I called to address the issue, I spoke with Kayla, the manager on duty. Unfortunately, Kayla seemed more interested in laughing and chatting with her coworkers than actually helping me. When I brought up the lack of toppings, my ongoing frustration with this location's consistent issues, and the fact that I had told my husband we shouldn't order from here because well the pizza is always disappointing. Kayla seemed to find the whole situation amusing. Spoiler: it wasn't. She offered no solutions--no refund, no credit. Instead, she pointed out that since I had given my 3-year-old the smallest piece of pizza to calm a meltdown, where she was screaming "I love messed up pizza," when I was trying to explain it needed to go back... I wasn't eligible for anything. When I asked for the corporate number to escalate the issue, she claimed she didn't know it and wasn't motivated to find it. She eventually mentioned it was online but admitted she wouldn't even know where to direct me. The only real help Kayla gave me during the entire call was spelling her name correctly. That's it. Beyond that, she sarcastically offered to remake the pizza, adding that she didn't know how many times she'd have to remake it since I "clearly don't like the way they make pizza, their crust, or their toppings." Not exactly the customer service experience I was hoping for. At this point, I'm not picky--I'm just looking for someone, anyone, from Pizza Hut to step in and Make Apizza Great Again. Please let me know how we can resolve this. And maybe consider a refresher course in customer service for Kayla--because sarcasm and dismissal shouldn't be part of a manager's skillset. There are two other Blue Springs Pizza Huts that have both provided pretty consistent and excellent service. It's this location that consistently disappoints. Thanks, Jen

We really enjoyed our lunch here the other day. We had always heard how great the fried chicken is,…read moreso we went for the Tuesday lunch special (they do have fried chicken for dinner every evening too). The fried chicken is very good. Well seasoned and not greasy. The lunch came with 3 pieces of chicken, a scoop of green beans (has bacon and onion in it fyi) and a scoop of their delicious mashed potatoes with white creamy gravy (no pepper, more cheesy, so good). I do wish they gave you a bit more of the sides, but it was a good amount for the $ at lunch. Appreciate the bread and butter as you wait for the meal. Our server and everyone we interacted with were so nice. The space is very cozy and comfortable. We definitely plan to go back for dinner soon, as we hadn't been here for many years?

Cascone's is one of Kansas City's oldest Italian restaurants…read more It's been around forever. A recent visit was a little all over the place. After a small, but expected Saturday night wait, we were sat in the main dining room. Our server arrived after a bit to take our drink order. Our waters were delivered before we ordered our appetizers, but my friend's glass of wine never made it. No biggie stuff happens. We ordered an appetizer and our dinners at the same time. The fried mozzarella was fantastic. Our dinners looked good, but they were wrong. Again, no biggie. After a short wait, our dinners arrived along with my friend's glass of wine. She said she was okay and didn't need it, but the server insisted and said he'd make sure it wasn't included in the bill - except it was. Dinner was great. Just like we expected... except we had to wait for our check and some to-go containers. Every day isn't an A day and that's okay. Like I wrote above, stuff happens. That's life. I still think Cascone's food is really good and that you should give them a try.

It was an Italian restaurant in Queens NY, "Peps" on Lefferts Blvd. My colleagues from work took me to a "real" Italian restaurant. Everything was roasted with olive oil and garlic. The "everything covered in mozzarella cheese" ethos didn't exist here. Weeks after that dinner I was still amazed and somewhat ashamed by the experience. I slowly poked my nose into the world of olive oil and balsamic vinegar, armed with a fresh baguette. This is easy in NYC, in Topeka.. not so much. A crust of bread and some springy olive oil makes the tastiest lunch. So, I was surprised and happy that Tasteful Olive was here. If you are "into" olive oils I'm sure you'll find something here, great gift ideas too. If you are from either coast or especially Europe where olive oil is 25€+ and often diluted this spot is a inexpensive home run..
