The dough wasn't just "a little undercooked" -- it was raw. Gummy, sticky, and doughy in the center like it had barely seen the oven. This isn't a minor slip. This is basic quality control completely missing. Calling to place the order was the first red flag. The person who answered had music blasting so loudly I could hardly understand him. I had to repeat myself several times. When I told him I was at a well-known location two doors down, he had no idea where that was and asked for the full address -- which is concerning for someone handling local deliveries. Then, without warning, he said delivery would be an hour and a half... and immediately hung up before I could respond or cancel. No confirmation. No professionalism. Just click. This place used to be dependable, friendly, and worth recommending (enthusiastically!) Now it feels chaotic, careless, and completely indifferent to the customer experience. Belmont deserves far better than this level of decline.

Okay so inside was nice. I liked the Mediterranean decor. Food was just okay. I did like the Greek salad though it did not look like the photo. The complimentary bread with olive oil was good. The saganaki was not what we are used to and was not melty. It was very dense. I had the Suttons favorite which is filet over eggplant with Turkish cheese. It was a miss for me. It was sliced pot roast and the eggplant tasted like whatever sauce it was mixed with. My partner has beef and lamb kabob and he said it was not seasoned much. His came with fries and taziki. I tried the taziki and it was not for me. Overall fantastic service, great atmosphere and hit or miss on the food.

The overall feel of the restaurant is boring and could use a little TLC to make it feel more welcoming and warm. Theres nothing on the walls and a recommendation, they should add shades at the bar. Be warned, if you sit at certain seats at the bar during sunset, you will be blinded by the light! Our food was very good. We did have a hiccup with the linguine Vongole but the chef corrected it and it was much better second go around. The lasagna was awesome! Definitely something I would recommend trying! Desserts were also very good and you can tell there is a lot of thought in the menu. With it still being so new, it's understandable there are kinks still but we did enjoy our evening here and will be back.

My Old Fashioned Peaches & Cream went down smooth. The Espresso Martini was great. My large Diavolo Pizza - signature pizza sauce, calabrese salami, cherry peppers, caramelized onion, mozzarella, and a drizzle of a calabrian chili-infused honey. We could taste the slight sweetness and it made it a fantastic pizza. The special - 3 oz Grouper in a light sauce of lemon, white wine, and capers. I felt the lemon overpowered the dish. We toned it down with salt and fresh parmigian. The pasta was perfect. Tip: the sunroom was too bright and noisy for us. But the main dining room was perfect. We sat close to the pizza oven and bar. The whole experience was a 5 star.
