    Chicken Marsala ( lunch )
    Ken K.

    This place has been around a long time but this was my first time eating her. We decided to try it for lunch. It was a late lunch and not too busy. Service was outstanding. Had a decent vibe and a nice bar area too, although not many at the bar at lunch. The food was very good. I had chicken Marsala and loved it. As my side that came with it I chose spaghetti and meat sauce. This was a huge side and I brought half of it home for later... and it was great The other meal we got was the lasagna , also very very good and a big portion ( not sure if the lunch portion is the same as dinner or smaller but also took half of that home for later. I'd def come back, especially because it's very close by... I wouldn't necessarily drive a long way to eat here , but only because there are several good Italian options. But you're in the area, this is a good choice. They also look like they make a lot of pizza, and I'll try that at some point

    Despite its strip-mall location, the ambiance is lovely! Both service and food were exceptional, and portions were large. The lasagna exceeded the expectations of my lasagna connoisseur husband (if there is such a thing, he merits it), and the tiramisu was *chef's kiss.*

    We ordered the 16 oz ribeye medium rare and it was delivered to us cooked more medium, however it was absolutely delicious, perfectly charred and seasoned. We also ordered the lasagna which was a great portion size and very cheesy! It tasted great. We had a party of 22 but only 1 server, which made the drink service take quite a long time to get your next drink once you ordered it. Gratuity was included. Ambience was lacking as it was very hot in the area we were seated in. Many people in our party mentioned how hot it was. Also, the table we were sat at had heavy table cloths and short chairs so sitting felt very uncomfortable because the table was higher than I would like when sitting so low down. I did enjoy this location more than Lakeland because Lakeland is too busy and loud. We had a great time!

    Love Italian food so we decided to have dinner at VC. As usual, the staff was friendly and the service was great. The bar area was packed (live music)) so we sat in the dining area. We had the giant mozzarella sticks and I had the Veal with mushroom risotto. The veal was pure perfection but the risotto was just okay. The risotto was missing something along with salt.

    Truly a 5-star restaurant, so why the 4-star rating? A group of 7 of us visited for an amazing meal. Service was amazing, even though they were short that night. Food was prepared well, and came out hot and tasty. We asked for one of the entrees to be split for 2, and they happily did so. The split plates were exactly what we were looking for (see the pic). The 4-star rating is because they basically took 2 tables and pushed them together to form a rectangle against a wall. So, 2 of our group were pushed against the wall, 2 had the table split exactly between them and 1 was on the end. They also did the same thing to another group right next to us. So, the 2 guests on the end from each party were back-to-back. That kept the server from delivering plates and drinks to everyone at the table. We had to pass things back and forth to the server. We know things are tough with short-staffing, but the restaurant made the situation worse by cramming extra seats onto tables and spaces that could not reasonably support the extra people. So, will we come back? Definitely yes, but will likely not do so again with a party larger than 4. The food was truly amazing!

    I had an absolutely awesome meal at Amerigo! First visit at this location. I made a reservation and…read morewaited only about five minutes before being seated. The Italian bread with herbs was delicious, and every appetizer we tried -- from the cheese fritters to the calamari -- was excellent. I chose the smoked chicken ravioli for my entrée, and it was truly delectable. We finished dinner with key lime pie for dessert, and it was mmm good. Overall, the meal was fabulous. My only complaint was the air-conditioning, which felt brutally cold at times. Thankfully it wasn't on continuously, but I couldn't help wondering -- why is the AC blasting on a cold January night? Our server was excellent as well. A+!

Our waiter, Jason, was very attentive throughout the evening and made sure we had everything we needed. We started with drinks, and I ordered the blueberry tequila sour -- twice! They were very good. I ended the night with a French 75, which was also delicious. For appetizers, our table ordered a wide variety including cheese fritters, calamari, crab cakes, artichoke dip, and mussels. Most of the appetizers were enjoyable, especially the crab cakes, which were my personal favorite. The only disappointment was the calamari, which lacked flavor, had a rubbery texture, and even the marinara sauce was bland. After filling up on appetizers, I skipped an entrée and ordered another round of crab cakes instead. While they were excellent, they were served over a bed of pinto beans mixed with salad, which felt like an odd pairing. There are definitely better side options that could complement the dish. Overall, the food was about a 7/10, service was a solid 9/10 (though drinks took a little longer than expected), and the ambiance was pleasantly low-lit without feeling overly formal. It's a family-friendly spot with a welcoming atmosphere, and I'd definitely consider returning for future special occasions.

The food was just OK. The catered food seemed to be a little bland compared to their regular dishes. The atmosphere/decorations were a bit dated. This was my first time at the Appling location. I've been to the East Parkway location many times and one thing that keeps me going back is the customer service and friendliness of the staff. I will have to try this location again without a private event/catered food.

We ordered the large BBQ pizza and a medium cheese, and boy were we horribly disappointed and embarrassed. The meat on the BBQ was old, and extremely dry with a nasty sauce of some kind on top, and the crust was soggy and not even cooked. The cheese wasn't any better. Again, the crust was raw and soggy with an extreme amount of grease on top. We soaked up the grease with paper towels hoping it would help, but nope it didn't. Between the three adults we couldn't eat more than three slices total. The remainder went in the trash. You'd expect better from a place that's been around as long as Coletta's has, but with food like this I'd think they're in jeopardy of surviving.
