    $50 tiny piece of fish with a tiny amount of potatoes. Horrible presentation.
    Bryce J.

    My friend loves this place, so we go every year for his birthday. To be fair, the drinks are good and they have great service. However every single year we come, we all end up hating our meals. Not to mention even though it's his birthday, they didn't bring him dessert. This extremely tiny piece of fish I ordered was $50!!!! Even the presentation was bad. To top it off, it tasted undercooked and fishy, and I later suffered from food poisoning. We ordered bread for the table ($4) and it's a few pieces of a thinly sliced baguette. The portions here are insanely disappointing for the price, and for a $50 piece of fish, bread should be included. Do yourself a favor and go to Placedos instead.

    We had an awesome dinner for our daughter's 22nd birthday! If you're looking for genuine Italian cuisine enjoyed in an authentic atmosphere this is an excellent venue! The service was totally on par too! Good times! Bravissimo!

    I've been going to Ambrosia for decades. I love the food (and the care they take around my allergies), the service, the ambiance and the wine list. The owner is a sommelier and their wines reflect his excellent taste. We go there for meetings and celebrations. It's one of Eugene's best.

    We arrived and were seated promptly, our server was over pretty quickly. We received free bread, cold butter, and oil and vinegar. The butter was hard to spread as it was fresh from a fridge in little wrapped pieces. We ordered a charcuterie which was very good, we loved the selection and the amount for the price. The food was pretty good except my husband asked for his lamb a bit more rare and it was not rare whatsoever, the risotto that it came with was very good. I ordered the goat cheese ravioli and it was perfect! We were seated in a cute, cozy, intimate feeling area. All around the service and food were very good. The only complaint is the overcooked lamb,but that could have easily been a one time mistake. We will definitely be back.

    This restaurant is beautiful inside, and the food is great, but really the highlight is the wonderful servers! The servers remember me when I come in, although I have only been a few times, and are just amazing people. I cannot recommend enough.

    The service was friendly and attentive, but the food was disappointing. Two of us ordered a pizza that was so salty it was inedible. When we mentioned this, there was no apology or acknowledgment, which was surprising. Good service can't make up for food that misses the mark and staff unwilling to address it.

    The inside of this restaurant is huge. Bar area is really cute. Our server was very friendly. The menu has a great variety of pizza, pasta, appetizers, calzones, and more. Food does take a minute to come so maybe get some appetizers! The meal was filling but not the best Italian I have tried.

Both my self and my wife have spent extensive time in Italy and know Italian quarantine very well. So we were quite interested in trying this location based on many of the reviews a the menu. This is my verdict. I ordered the LASAGNA DELLA CASA, and the Tiramisu for the desert. First the lasagna, I read the Yelp reviews on this establishment prior to ordering. For the most part the reviews were good. I read two reviews that claimed that the sauce is canned. After tasting the sauce I can guarantee that those who are claiming that the sauce is canned clearly have a pallet that is fit for judging can dog or cat food. When it comes to real cuisine they have no clue of what they are talking about. I can guarantee the sauce is hand made. Even with it being take out I can tell you that. The lasagna was very good. The sauce was outstanding, the pasta was perfectly cooked and the Italian sausage is amazing. It has a perfectly balanced flavor with a wonderful flavor of fennel, not over powering yet its presences was very enjoyable. Overall for take out I was impressed. I will definitely be returning to this location to try this dish again in a dine in experience. Now for the Tiramisu. I have eaten this dessert in Italy at some very high end restaurants. As far as the Tiramisu at Beppe & Gianni's, it is on par with the best that I have eaten in some of the best Italian restaurants in and throughout Italy. And absolute symphony of wonderfulness. Let me remind you this was a take out order, that being said I am looking forward to returning to this location for the sit down experience. When I do that, I will take photographs of the cuisine and post them. It is not fair to an establishment to take pictures of takeout. When I went into the Restaurant to pick it up, I saw the plating and it was outstanding. The takeout box just doesn't do it justice. I highly recommend this location.

Not outdated it's dialed. No gimmicks, no nonsense just consistency that hits every single time. Now let me get this straight the calzones here? Hands down, some of the best I've ever had. Packed right, cooked right, everything balanced the way it should be. This isn't some rushed, thrown-together side item this is the kind of dish that makes you stop mid-bite and go, "Yeah... this is why this place is still around." I'll be honest, I read a few reviews beforehand and thought, "Did something change?" Nope. Walked in and it was exactly what I hoped for. Same classic feel, same solid food, same dependable experience. That's the beauty of Mozzi's it doesn't chase trends, it outlasts them. Value? Strong. Ambiance? Classic, comfortable, no-frills in the best way. Service? Locked in. Friendly, efficient, and they know what they're doing. This is the kind of place families grow up on. Team dinners, birthdays, random weeknights that turn into memories it's all baked into the walls. You don't stay in business this long without doing something very right. So let me make this real simple: If you're looking for an Italian restaurant in Eugene this is the place. Don't overthink it. Just go.

We'll come back to the carrot cake in a minute. We were in for a culinary delight and hopefully so will you. We ordered an antipasto appetizer that had a variety of tasty morsels with a loving presentation-heart carafes held both olives, mozzarella spheres. Next served was a warm artisan loaf that was accompanied by a garlic, olive oil, and roasted red pepper infused dipping sauce. Yum! We shared a goat cheese, ginger coated spinach beet salad, both healthy and delicious. Our entrees were timed perfectly as our server took such excellent care of us, paired with the charming ambience and local art-our date night was transported beyond the confines of a Dari mart parking lot. The scallops were plated similar to a five star restaurant and with the flavors to match. The namesake dish had a unique mild, spicy Italian sauce twist that had us wishing for another loaf to sop it up; a spoon sufficed. Back to the carrot cake-made in house by the owner-a double decker delight with a macron frosting-best carrot cake I've ever had and let me remind you how we chose this restaurant. I've been around the block with multiple carrot cakes. To add to our seemingly never ending meal, we would have preferred they lock us in and eat for a living there, we ordered the dark chocolate mousse. Our camera did not stand a chance in capturing the dessert in all its splendor...we included a photo of the empty results. Finally, for the excellent service, amazing food, warm ambience and creative cooking...we thought when the bill came that we'd be living on spaghetti a sauce for the next month. However, we stared dumbfounded at the bill-surely the sever forgot to input something...she did apologize that she forgot to add the two $10 desserts. I've included a picture of the bill, Nowadays, that total gets me some drinks and a couple appetizers. I will be driving the nearly three hours to dine again, even if I forced to get takeout. This place is special! And would worthy of your special events too. Mangia!

Not sure if she was good and busy or inexperienced and not so busy. I got the cioppino expecting a seafood soup. They brought me stuff as if it were a crab boil. And there was crab. It reminds me of those places where they put sliders on bloody marries. It's a lot. I leave it to you if that's a good or bad thing. But if you get it prepare to eat with your hands.

I won't bore you with details on crust (thinnish with a nice chew) or toppings (interesting varieties and well and evenly dispersed, nothing clumped in one area) and the friendly staff, etc. Nope, I would not have been there numerous times over the last handful of years and recommend it to most everyone I know. So why just the three-star rating? Lemme tell you about a pet peeve of mine: automatic gratuities. Tips added on to the total without any indication to the patron. Don't get me wrong-- I completely understand for larger parties, like six or more. I've spent months/years as a waiter so I understand the frustration of working hard to please a table only to get a 10% tip. As a now-former waiter, I try to tip generously. What I don't understand or expect is an automatic gratuity for small group, especially when I am a solo diner. Just me. Party of one. With minimal indication on the bill as to the added tip. After my last time at H-N-I-P I got the check, added on my own tip and paid. Then I pondered on the total. It seems funky -- why is it more than just the pizza and salad I ate... there's no tax in Oregon... Whuh? I look more closely at the bill and see that they already added on a tip...? I guess they just got a nearly 50% tip from me. Which might be the last tip because it's seriously irritating. In time I'll probably have a pizza craving that only they can fill, and go back. I'll look more closely at the menu to see if and where the automatic gratuity is mentioned. Enjoy the pizza. Beware the automatic gratuity.
