Disappointing experience with seating and service
My experience at this restaurant was disappointing. After waiting for 15 minutes for a table, I was informed that the only available seating was outside. Despite requesting an inside table, it was not possible. Ironically, parties of seven and four who arrived after me were seated inside. The outside table was cold and very noisy due to traffic, so we decided to leave.

A Delicious Feast Like in the Movies
My experience at this restaurant felt like stepping into a movie scene, filled with joy and abundance – something increasingly rare these days. The restaurant excels in delivering both quality and generous portions, creating a truly delicious feast. I hadn't eaten food this good in years and had begun to think such quality no longer existed. However, it does, and it's right here.

Great Food, Service, and Vision
My experience at this restaurant was great. I enjoyed their great pizza, salads, and beer. The service was also great, and the two brothers who run the place have a great vision. It's a great place for families with great pizza and orange soda pop for the kids.

Great Food, Disappointing Service and Value
The food tasted excellent, but I was very disappointed in the serving size for the salmon. It was the smallest piece of salmon I’ve ever seen served in a restaurant, 3 ounces at most. They are also under-staffed, and we had to wait 40 minutes for our food. Not cool. Lastly, the experience eating inside is very different from eating outside where you are expected to order from a window, set your own table, and get your own beverages—yet the menu prices are exactly the same as the full-service tables indoors. Really? 5 stars for the food, but everything else about the place was 2 stars at best.

Delicious Food, Great Service & Atmosphere!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I highly recommend the steak with onion sauce and asparagus. The red sauce was also delicious! The chicken parmesan was excellent. However, the Alfredo sauce was bland, and the Greek salad had too much pepper. Overall, the service and atmosphere were great, both receiving a perfect 5/5. I would go back regularly if I lived here!

Amazing Food and Great Location
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The location was great, and the food was absolutely amazing. I particularly enjoyed the red sauce lasagna/linguine al pesto combo, which was incredibly delicious. The service and atmosphere also received perfect scores.

Disappointed by Service Change
I'm unsure if the fact that Trump influences not speaking Spanish to avoid looking bad is correct. I visited this place some years ago and found the service from the Argentinian staff proudly speaking Spanish to be great. Now, it seems like a crime to speak to them in Spanish. Very bad, honestly, to deny your Latin roots.

Fabulous Italian Food & Perfect Service
My experience at this restaurant was simply fabulous. It's a great place to meet friends and enjoy excellent Italian food. The menu is extensive, and having eaten here more than a dozen times, I can report that everything is well prepared, generously portioned, and delicious. The service is perfect, friendly, and attentive. Highly recommended!

Excellent Pizza, Disappointing Salad
I had lunch at Piazza Pellegrini and decided to go for pizza – and it was truly outstanding. Both pizzas were the perfect size, generously and high-quality topped, with a crust that was pleasantly crispy, aromatic, and seasoned just right. I can wholeheartedly recommend the restaurant for pizza – the quality and taste are spot on here. However, the Caesar salad was less convincing. From the first bite, I felt something wasn't quite right: it tasted strange, wasn't very fresh, and wasn't what I expected from a classic Caesar salad. About 1. 5 hours after eating, I also experienced stomach problems. Whether this was actually related to the salad, I can't say for sure – it's just a suspicion. Interestingly, the other three people in our group who didn't eat the salad had no problems at all. Bottom line: A visit is definitely worth it for the pizza alone; it was truly top-notch. For the Caesar salad, however, I would choose something else next time. Therefore, 4 stars – a clear recommendation for pizza, deduction for the disappointing salad.

Incredible Food and Spot-On Service!
My experience at this restaurant was incredible! The hospitality was spot on, and most importantly, the food was amazing. I especially enjoyed the margherita pizza and the pasta carbonara. Bellissimo! Bravo! A presto! 🤘🫡🙏
