"I made reservations for a party of 14. We were seated in the private room with 2 other small parties, different server. Our table was setup for 12 people. It took a while for the server to take our drink order. She had other tables in a different section to serve. It took 1 1/2 hour before we got our food. My grandkids were hungry. Two of the personalized pizzas were under cooked and at that point my Grandsons were so hungry that they ate what they could so the rest was garbage. The eggplant Parmigiana had over kill of sauce and the sauce was very sweet. My Chicken picata was salty. Trying to get our server to come refill our drinks was a challenge. When I called to make reservations I asked if I can bring a birthday cake as we were celebrating my Mom's 84th birthday. I was going to cut the cake myself but our server insisted on doing so. I brought my own paper plates and plastic fork so we wouldn't need to use the restaurant. We told our server that the 2 pizzas were undercooked. We get our bill and there was a $10.00 cake cutting fee and only 1 pizza discounted half price. This was supposed to be a positive experience as my Mom was diagnosed with stage 4 glioblastoma and we wanted the family to be together to have a positive experience. $507.65 after and extremely disappointing with the entire experience. Italia will never get my business again. My recommendation to them is to have someone assist the server with large parties..when companies skimp on staff, they lose business."

"First time eating here. The restaurant is beautiful has outdoor dining. You feel like you're in Italy. The food is beyond what one could imagine. Pasta is fresh, portions are substantial, and if you had room for desert, be prepared to have your mind blown. The meals come with soup or salad. I had the pasta fagiol. It wasn't a little cup but rather a bowl of happiness. One of the best I've ever had. The prices are so reasonable for what you get that it's a wonder how they do it. We will, without a doubt, be back. Outstanding!"

"This charming English pub is beautifully decorated and features 10 competition-style dartboards. The venue has three distinct areas: an outdoor covered terrace with its own bar, a main dining area with a bar, and a spacious dart room. We ordered fish and chips and opted to upgrade to cod for a small additional charge. The fish was a lovely, firm white variety that was incredibly moist and perfectly battered. Our waitress was attentive, ensuring our drinks were always refilled and that we were enjoying our meals. I opted for Smithwick’s—a large Irish red ale that’s hard to come by, but I find it to be exceptionally smooth and enjoyable."

"Since Pioneers Pizza is far from our house, we haven't bought from them often. But today we had an errand in that direction, so we took advantage to swing by for a pie to go, for dinner. We had tried places closer to home, but to no avail one place in particular seemed to limit the toppings to one speck of each topping on the pie! (I exaggerate...but not by much! Pioneers, on the other hand, distributed plenty of each topping all around the pie. To me, especially compared to the other place I mentioned, this made Pioneers a notably good value. Everything was fresh and tasty, thoroughly enjoyable. The only drawback is the difficulty parking there during busy times, but we found a spot the second time through. Worth a little inconvenience!"

"We had been eager to dine at this restaurant for some time, and we finally had the opportunity due to a change in our plans. We made a reservation for 7 PM, but unfortunately, we weren't seated until 7:15. The staff at the front desk mentioned they were waiting for tables to become available, and they didn’t seem particularly cheerful. Once we settled in, we ordered the Brussels sprouts appetizer, which was tasty but lacked firmness. However, the jambalaya and short ribs were impressive and cooked perfectly. Our server, Toya, was friendly and attentive without being overly intrusive. We plan to return midweek when it's less busy."
