Crazy Tomato

My wife and I went here for our Valentine's date. Its a cute neighborhood Italian restaurant that…read moreserves food that's much better than you have a right to expect in a suburban mall. The house Manhatten was delicious with subtle adjustments to the traditional recipe. The Arancina Tradizionale is a fried ball of tasty saffron rice, stuffed with Bolognese and peas. Its a great appetizer with lots of subtle flavors. As an entree I had the Cacio E Pepe, the famous pasta prepared in a wheel of pecorino cheese and covered in fresh ground black pepper. The pasta was perfectly al dente, the cheese was creamy and mild, and the pepper nicely balanced the richness with a mild spice. I ordered shrimp on the side and it was well seasoned and nicely charred. My wife had the geilled salmon and loved it. We didn't really have room for dessert, but since everything else was so good, we couldn't resist trying the Tiramisu and Strawberry panna cotta. We couldn't have been happier with our choice. Be prepared for European style service and you will leave satisfied.

The menu I think had a good variety of entrees to choose from, and we both ended really liking the dishes we ordered. I ordered the pasta bolognese, and it was great. The pasta was cooked right and the sauce not super over powering. We will definitely be back to try other dishes. My only complaint was that seating is a little cramped, and everyone including the restaurant staff had to maneuver around chairs, etc. but other than that we really enjoyed our visit.

The linguine with white clam sauce has a lot of clams and little neck clam shells (legit!) and very saucy. I wish I saved some garlic knot to dip in the sauce. I added red chili flake and a sprinkle of Parmesan. Oo it's quite delicious. We didn't have any room left for dessert!

Pasta was very simple, not much sauce or flavor. This might be more classic, but i ended up just eating the chicken. The lamb pasta was interesting -- I could taste cinnamon or cardamom or cloves or some spices in the lamb that reminded me of Indian spices. It was different but didn't hit the craving for a classic meat sauce. Salmon was delicious but it was seriously such a skimpy serving of potatoes and veggies for the dish. Not a $27 value, in my opinion, but hey, everything is insanely expensive right now. The tiramisu was the star of the show -- so moist and fresh!! Next time i come here, i will prioritize drinks, apps and dessert. Those were really my favorite part of this meal. Maybe i just haven't found my favorite dish.

After that, the experience was pretty disappointing. The restaurant was not busy during our Wednesday dinner. There was a group of 6 servers standing in a pod chatting during most of our dinner. Our server had the personality of a brick wall. I overheard other servers describing dishes to guests, telling them the daily specials and making them feel welcome. Our server did not, which is sad because I was about to pay $30 per plate, plus $14 per cocktail for my husband and I. The Atlantic Salmon I ordered was very large, but too salty. The lemon sauce was not good. The consistency was very thin and tasted tart, poorly seasoned. The veggies (broccoli and carrots) were an afterthought. That made me sadder than my overcooked salmon...because I LOVE broccoli. Small peices of broccoli and carrot sticks were served hiding under the salmon on my plate, probably too ashamed to show themselves. My husband said it looked like they used the frozen veggies that go in stir fry. We paid the large bill and as our server started walking away he said "Yall have a great night"...like in passing, no eye contact, no commitment in it. I can get that exiting phrase at any chain food in the city. What a shame!

This is simply a fantastic neighborhood Italian restaurant with consistently excellent food, a fun bar, and a great atmosphere. We especially enjoy sitting on the outdoor patio when the weather is nice. Every meal starts with complimentary bread, which is always a nice touch. We shared an order of calamari as an appetizer. It was good and exactly what you'd expect from a classic Italian restaurant. On our most recent visit, we ordered the Chicken Alla Panna, featuring mushrooms and shallots in a rich brandy cream sauce, the Eggplant Parmigiana served with pasta, a New York-style pizza, and the sea bass special. Every dish was excellent. The sauces are flavorful, the ingredients taste fresh, and it's clear the kitchen takes pride in what they serve. The bar is equally impressive, offering an excellent selection of beer, wine and cocktails to complement the meal. One thing to know before you order is that the portions are large. We had plenty of leftovers to enjoy for lunch the next day, which is always a bonus. If you're looking for a dependable neighborhood Italian restaurant with outstanding food, generous portions, and friendly service, Spazo is an easy recommendation.

I've lived near Crazy Tomato for years now and never even knew it existed. My family and I were looking for a diner and stopped by a little shopping complex, there we found Crazy Tomato. Apparently it's Take-out and Delivery only so that was disappointing. Tony (the owner) urged us to give them a try, and that day we did. Let me tell you, BEST DECISION EVER. Tony walked me through ideas and different deals we can get, he was trying to save me the most money with the best food. We ordered a Few specialties and cheesy breads. Me and him talked for a good 30 minutes on current events, somehow with phones ringing non-stop he made me very comfortable. Crazy Tomato is a Family run business with only a few non-family members. They tend to handle things old-fashioned and that's my favorite part. I'm not a fan of the whole "The customer is always right" statement. Our order took a bit longer than usual since they were extremely busy but it was worth it. Since then we've been ordering Crazy Tomato at a constant rate and we don't think we will be stopping anytime soon! Tony is a TRUE Original when it come's to pizz! read more

OK heres a list of ones you need to try -Mediterranean -Meat Crazy -South of the border -Buffalo Chicken -Chicken Bacon Ranch BTW you can order one pizza with a specialty pizza on each half, good for trying stuff out!

My friend and I stopped in for lunch a few days ago. We loved the calzones. It was stuffed with good amount of veggies, meat and cheese. I liked how the marinara sauce was on the side instead of inside the calzone. it was delicious. My boyfriend loved the combo calzone, and I loved the florentine. Everything was so good and taste. We had a great experience from the customer service to the quality of the food. Overall the place was really good, I was kind of skeptical because the food came out pretty fast and good. read more

The last straw is what I will start with. Two days ago I called in an order for a party we were throwing a day in advance. I ordered 6 large pizzas to be delivered at 3:45 pm the next day and PAID IN ADVANCE including tip over the phone. Day of the part pizzas were no where in sight. I called and spoke with a girl who answered who was quick to say it was likely the Fairview location and they had not made any pizzas for us. Quick to write me off, could've cared less. I explained we paid in advance, etc etc. It clearly meant nothing to her. Zero acknowledgement, zero apology. Our party went without food needless to say. Never a manager on site, never a call back from the "owner". Multiple other times where a mistake was made on their end, no big deal right? Well it shouldn't be... a simple gesture on their end to remake a pizza the way it was ordered is all it would've taken. But everything here gets blown out of proportion with workers bursting into tears over simple matters of a pizza coming out differently than it was ordered. Spare yourself the drama. Order Pizza Hut or anywhere else. After years of pushing through this drama and poor customer service because we do like their pizza when it's made properly. I've officially given up. The owner doesn't even care. And I have no idea if we were even issued a refund for the 6 pizzas we never received.
