"I had a wonderful experience with the empanadas, which were incredibly delicious and offered a wide variety. For takeout during lunch, the prices are quite reasonable, ranging from $1 to $10 per person. I would rate the food a solid 5 for its outstanding quality, while the service was a bit lacking, getting a 3. The atmosphere is inviting and scores a 5 as well. I highly recommend trying their Beef and Cheese Empanadas. As for parking, there's ample space available, and it’s free in the parking lot."

"2.5 rounded up because I 'm feeling generous. We had a 545 reservation, we were five minutes late so we checked in at 550, we also apologized for being a bit late, we were then told to sit and wait, that 's fine. About 7 couples/groups came in after us and were immediately taken to a table since they knew the owner. My boyfriend and I got our 545 table at 625. AFTER, multiple other couples who came in after us got seated. So not a great start at all. The food wasn 't great. It really wasn 't. Our waiter was fantastic and very attentive but food was severely lacking. The arancini were flavorless and the marina sauce tasted very sugary. Similar to Applebees or chilis. The main course was alright. I had the cavatappi escarole with chicken. I should have had it without the chicken as it was a little dry and again not as flavorful as the broth itself. Which I must say was delicious. Overall it was a disappointing Valentine 's Day dinner. We were overlooked, multiple times, the food wasn 't great, and on a personal note it was just way too loud for me. My pros were our amazing waiter, my glass of Riesling, and the bread. You can 't not love bread. I don 't see myself going back to ragazzi on my own. After last night, it 's left a pretty sour taste in my mouth. All I can say is make sure you have a reservation, and make sure you know the owners because even with your reservation you 'll be waiting 20 plus minutes."

"This local restaurant is a hidden gem with delicious food and welcoming staff. The portion sizes are generous and the cozy decor creates a comfortable atmosphere. One small critique is that they no longer offer fountain sodas, which is unusual for a pizzeria. Evita provides excellent service and makes you feel right at home. I highly recommend trying the Chicken Alla Vodka Parmigiana. Overall, a fantastic dining experience with an average price of $10–20 per person for dinner. Food and service both receive a 5-star rating, while the atmosphere is a 4."

"I have eaten at Joe’s forever being I live around the block. My little guy loves the plain pizza, my hubby enjoy grandmas slices, my dad likes their pepperoni and myself and my older son like the salad pizza. Well, not anymore. Something has changed and I called to talk to them about it. I was so curious as to why my salad pizza tasted like regular pizza with the cheese pulled off. You could not even taste the salad and it was completely gross with dressing on it. When I called, I was not calling to complain, just simply ask what’s changed and can I reorder it to be made differently? OMG what a mistake!!!! I was met with a macho rude aggressive dude. Suuuuuper Angry that I called. After telling me I must have never had a salad slice from them, he offered my money back. I just wanted to see if they can make it the old way again. I gave up because I wasn’t calling to fight!!!! Well that just sucks because I will never order from them again and have instructed my kids the same. Onto Carlos Pizza and La Famosa. Jerk!!!!

"Upon our first visit, we admittedly had no idea what to expect. The restaurant's interior was simple and clean, nothing extravagant. However, the food was outstanding. We kicked things off with fresh and crispy wings, lightly battered and served with sauce on the side - some of the best wings we've ever had. The beef nachos that followed were equally impressive, with homemade crunchy tortilla chips topped with just the right amount of jalapeños, beans, sour cream, and cheese. For our main dishes, we tried soft taco with chicken, burritos, and fajitas, all of which were delicious. The grilled steak with shrimp stood out, with the steak being slightly overcooked but still flavorful, and the shrimp grilled to perfection. Overall, we had a fantastic dining experience and will definitely be returning soon. We highly recommend this restaurant, as the prices are reasonable and you can enjoy beer or freshly made juices along with your meal."
