We would have preferred the bread in a basket or at least some herbs or salt and pepper in the oil. We had to request salt and pepper and they brought over an incredible amount in a ramekin. I guess they don't have salt and pepper shakers? I ordered rigatoni with vodka sauce but I received spaghetti and was then told they didn't have rigatoni. My husband ordered a steak which was over cooked and had to be sent back. We ordered a bottle of wine and although the server was nice, we had to open the wine ourselves and it wasn't poured out first for a taste. Easy fix in training the staff proper wine service.

Our server, Taylor, was excellent; she balanced being attentive and providing us with space to enjoy our dinner incredibly well. She never let our glasses sit empty and was very kind. The food is balanced and the flavors were perfect. The olive oil and bread may seem unimpressive but this was the most flavorful olive oil I have ever tasted, it and I urge you to try it before reaching for the salt or pepper!

Truly the best dish on the menu, in my opinion. They were pretty busy but we didn't have to wait on a table. The fettuccini noodles are perfect and fresh. The ambiance isn't super romantic if you are looking to impress on a date night. It's more for families I'd say. They do have a room you can have for a large gathering. It's a perfect restaurant for my family and something on the menu for everyone.

This review is for the pizza and bolognese pasta-all great…read more My family shared the lamb pizza and Greek pizza and were so surprised how huge the slices were! Each giant slice was the equivalent of 2-3 slices combined. The flavor on both pizzas was very good and the lamb was not "gamey" or overpowering in flavor. Our little nieces loved the bolognese pasta, and I tried the sauce on it, and it was tasty. We ordered it all to go.

I wouldn't go out of my way to go here again, but for what it is (a two-location only, not really a…read morechain restaurant) it was a-okay. We were there for a late lunch, so we basically had the run of the place. Our server was very sweet, non-intrusive, and--though she did forget about a caesar salad until reminded after entrees were served--overall did a great job. Drinks were refilled promptly, etc. The food? Eh, it was fine. The garlic styx (why do they spell it this way, ARGH) were pizza dough, not actually "bread," and holy CRAP was there a lot of garlic on them. I mean entire cloves coating it. I don't mind garlic so I wasn't mad, but it was a bit much. The side of marinara was adequate in both taste and volume, but tasted jarred. I got the 10-layer eggplant. Now, I love eggplant parm and I see where they were going with this, but it was just SO cheesy. I love cheese and marinara and eggplant and all that jazz, but this singular dish probably contained 2 lbs (no joke) of cheese condensed into a 5"x5" square. I know there was eggplant in there (finely sliced, like on a mandolin thin). I know there was sauce in there (there was some swirled around the dish). However, all I could taste was...cheese. This is the first, and likely will be the last, time I ever complain about too much cheese. Practical notes: I didn't see any super dinginess like other reviews state, but I also didn't go to the bathroom. Your mileage may vary. Parking is a niiiiiiiightmaaaaaaare even when the restaurant isn't busy. Make sure your parallel parking skills are up to date or try and squeeze into one of the lots. Portions are large, so order accordingly. If you order something with cheese and are even remotely sensitive to dairy, bring your Lactaid and triple the dose. NOTE: this is not actual medical advice.

The kind of pizza that makes you pause mid-bite and reconsider your life choices. The pasta? Let's just say if carbs are wrong, I don't want to be right. And the vibe? Pure hometown comfort. You walk in as a customer and leave feeling like you've been unofficially adopted into the family. Fair warning: once you eat here, you'll start comparing every other Italian restaurant to Alfonso's... and they're probably going to lose.

I've been critical of this place in the past. Their bread is good but reminds me of frozen, cheesy, garlic bread with extra cheese. Pizzas are good but I feel can be overvalued. Haven't had the wings in years because they were terrible then. But I found this dish and I love it. Their meatballs seem better than what they used to be. It is very filling. Can't wait to bring my mom. It makes me want to try other things I wrote off in the past

Terranova (in Madison) and Bravo both went to the upper room. Amerigo's, Luigi's, Osteria Luca, Mangia, Mazzara's, Nick's, and SaZa, remain. Oh there's also Nonna's and Zanotta's too... But I've not been to either yet. And then there's Terra. It's next to Newks and CiCi's pizza (which might as well be immortal) and for the life of me o can't remember what was in the space. No matter. Why? Because it's a potential strip mall gem. I just ran across one of these in the Orlando area a few months back. So we pulled up for Father's Day with a last minute reservation because, well, father's day isn't mother's day... But I REFUSED to grill. Nevertheless my little ladies made and ran the play and all I had to be was chauffeur. The staff was welcoming from the jump and didn't seem to notice how thin the crowd was. I didn't mind either, tbh... I like to find sleepers. The menu is... Fairly extensive. Apps come with the American Italian classics like bruschetta, fried calamari and fried mushrooms, and mussels but there's also crudo (yellow fin), clam casino, carpaccio, and polpette tre carni. Crab and avocado toast is what we tried in addition to the calamari and both were good. There's a gazpacho with shrimp ceviche the raised an eyebrow --maybe a little Spanish influence in the kitchen? I'll try it next time. There's a few pizzas as well from the classic margherita to prosciutto to a focosa and a scarpariello...so kids and kin For pastas, again, there's a lot. Their classic Carbonara is really good and I'll come back to see what the gnocchi, the bolognese and the linguine alle vongole The seafood risotto adds slivers of asparagus but it rivals some of the best in town. There's maybe 1 spot that tops it. Maybe. The menu features flounder, cod, and salmon along with some clucks and moos as well. I like the French lentils and rice as well. Again, an unexpected but appreciated Desserts include a homemade tiramisu, cheesecake, cannoli (pretty good) and Gelato. Food: 4.25/5.00 - I'm always coming for seafood pasta or risotto on the first run. T Atmosphere: 3.75/5.00 - It's strip mall chic. But clean. Service: 4.00/5.00 new but solid and friendly. X-factor: 4.25/5.00 access and surprise quality go hard here. Overall: 4.1/5.0 by the numbers but... There's a big surprise and solid factor that bumps this enough for me to round to 5 stars . A second visit will confirm. It's either gonna be a bar run or lunch.

They have BOGO pizzas but I got the $20.99 family meal. 2 large, 2 topping pizzas with a small salad and breadsticks. The salad was great. The breadsticks were alright but the dipping sauce was great. The pizza though. Had so much potential but my undercarriage was too doughy/floppy, not crispy. All my cheese and topping fell off. If they get that crust crispier it would be much better. I gotta try it again for the price. Be aware: you can't get half and half pizzas. They'll charge for the total number of different toppings. My friend's lasagna loomed fabulous and he loved it. My other buddy's sandwich also looked good. The menu has a variety of item Greek and Italian. The prices are outstanding. Plenty of room inside but it was kind of warm. I prefer it cooler when I'm eating. Give it a try!

We were all pleasantly surprised about how good the pizzas were at this price point. A couple things would keep me from bringing house guests here. The pizzas, even though we're dining in, were served in a to-go box. I think that if they invested in some serving pans it would elevate the dining experience. Definitely worth a try.
