Sorrento's has been an Anchorage staple for 52 years, but apparently they only started serving…read morelunch a few months ago -- and I'm really glad I wandered in. I was looking for a quiet place to eat good food, have a beer, and zone out for a minute. Sorrento's at lunch is the spot.I happened to be the only dine-in customer, so I basically got first-class service, which I have a feeling happens no matter how busy they are. The place is clean and a little dated, but in the absolute best, nostalgic way. It feels like an old-school neighborhood restaurant that has earned the right not to reinvent itself every five years. No trendy gimmicks, no loud music, no rush -- just a comfortable place to take a load off in the middle of a busy day and actually enjoy lunch. And the food fit the place perfectly: simple, quick and flavorful. Not a lot of frills, but that's the thing about consistent, old-school eateries -- they don't need them. I had the lamb gyro with a fresh salad, and it was exactly what I wanted. Fresh, satisfying and just plain good. This was my first time at Sorrento's, which seems almost ridiculous considering how long they've been part of Anchorage. Now that I've discovered lunch, I guess the next order of business is coming back hungry and tackling a big pasta dinner. Great food, great service, cold beer, zero pretension. Perfect. Try it for lunch!

While we were in Anchorage, Sorrentos came up as a suggestion for an Italian restaurant to go to…read moreand the ratings were extremely good (4-5) so being a seasoned yelper, writing many reviews, I wanted to give Sorrentos a try. The restaurant has a nice set up with tables a booth's. We were a party of 4and our server was Marylou. Marylou s great handling our table making suggestions and with her timing of our food. We ordered fried calamari appetizer which was good. It wasn't a large dish and there were no Calamari "rings" on our plate, only strips which was a little surprising, but we enjoyed them. We also each got a nice salad before our dinners. I ordered the Ceaser salad which was delicious. I asked Marylou for a small (3) amount of anchovies to put on the salad. She came with a dish with I guess a can full of them. Not her fault, she stated that she had to make it a side order do that was hire it was done. No problem, I love anchovies and since they were there, I was not going to let them go to waste!!! lol! Dinner then was broght to the table, here is where the review is lowered to 3 stars. My wife and friends ordered this chicken dish (sorry don't recall the name, I think it was Marsala) and it was delicious and a nice serving. My friend also got the chicken parm which he enjoyed. However, my order was nothing like I was expecting. When I go to an Italian restaurant, I usually order Veal Parmigiana. This is my go to favorite. When my veal arrived, it looked totally not what I was expecting. The menu says veal scallopini lightly breaded and fried. Scallopini is a thing cut of meat. What I got was 2 ground veal patties (like hamburger) covered in sauce and topped with cheese. I started to eat it and immediately safe that this was not veal cutlet (scallopini) and ground veal. For the price I was paying, I was not going to accept this so I sent the dish back. Marylou was so nice about it and took care of me without a problem. She was kind of surprised about the dish as well. She gave me reasons why it was served the way it was but I will not share them here. If the menu says Scallopini (cutlet) then that is what should be served. Don't change it up on the customer hoping to pass it off as a Veal Parmigiana dish. Maybe being from NY I have a different expectation about this but I don't think that is the case here. I ordered the lasagna instead which was ok. Again, our service was great and the food was good as well except for my dish and this is why I am giving them 3 stars, which I rarely give.

I'll start with the ambience, because this place just screams It's namesake of a little Italian…read morerestaurant. Also strong presence of Greek influence. I came here to eat with a big party, and that doesn't always result in the best experience, but this one was very good. The server and service staff were very attentive and friendly. I think the owners even came over at one point to check on the table, which I really appreciate. I had the spanakopita appetizer which was served nice and hot and very flavorful. Also, the chicken marsala had great flavor, I could've basically licked my plate. I think I did mop up the rest of the sauce on my plate when the bread came in the middle of my meal. Honestly, this would be a five star review, but at the end of the day I left here hungry. I had three fairly small pieces of chicken and maybe a dozen rigatoni pasta on my plate. This is the first time I've ever left a Greek/Italian restaurant hungry. What I did get to eat was absolutely fantastic though.

Our server was patient, and very pleasant, bearing in mind that one of our party was a crotchety old man. Prior to ordering, he and i arrived first, and were perusing the menu, and he was relating the items he liked, and what he planned to order. He told me he liked both Shrimp Scampi and Shrimp Sinatra. Our other 2 attendees arrived and we ordered - i got Italian Chicken, which came with Soup or Salad, and Garlic Bread. Crotchety Old Man ordered Shrimp Scampi, I'll leave out the other 2 in the party, because I'm the reviewer, and i can only give feedback on what i ate, and my experience. I got the lemon chicken soup, i did like that, it was quite a thick soup, and the citrus flavour was noticeable, but not overpowering. I did get some chunks of chicken in the soup The entrees came out relatively quickly, and IMMEDIATELY there's an issue. Crotchety Old Man announces that he ordered Shrimp Sinatra, and he does not want "that" and he was actually quite rude about it (Hence the name I've given him) the 3 of us and the server told him he had ordered Shrimp Scampi, and he was getting ruder, "Take it away, i don't care what you do with it" and the highly patient server, said she'd have a Shrimp Sinatra made for him. Honestly, I'd have walked off, hence why I'm not a server I did not wait for his entree to be served, as it was WAY past my personal dinnertime, and I'd already been hangry when i got there. Ok, so there was a huge amount of food. Mine was served on fettucine noodles, in a white wine and lemon sauce, with what appeared to be 2 chicken breasts, butterflied. Some parts of the chicken were very tender and juicy, others seemed to be quite tough. The noodles were ok, the sauce was not that creamy, and somewhat lacking. Just ok. The garlic bread - i am not a fan. I like my garlic bread to be made from scratch with real butter, and real garlic, and in my opinion this was not that. I make good garlic bread at home. And it like it made with a french baguette, aka small round slices, with liberal tiny pieces of freshly diced garlic. I rarely use garlic powder or onion powder at home. I prefer real garlic, real onion. I will say that quality beats quantity every time. Serving me a huge pile of food won't impress me. I will not take this home in a box. It's just not worth the calories. Just give me 1 butterflied chicken breast, juicy, tender, well seasoned, over an adequate portion of beautifully cooked noodles, in a perfectly creamy white wine sauce, topped with browned, finely grated Parmigiano Reggiano and my eyes will roll in my head with delight.

Guido's Pizza is delicious! I especially like the Greek Pizza and Foods and recommend them highly…read more They offer Pizzas from traditional Margaretta (red, green and white pizza) to Pepperoni. Vegetarian, Guido's Special, Greek Style Combo, Chef's Mistake, Meatlover, Italian Classics like Lasagna, Spaghetti (4 styles), as well as Greek Pizza and Greek Salad. All 12" pizzas are available in Gluten free Cauliflower Crust if desired. Walking into this restaraunt is relaxing. There are choices of seating - booths or tables which are great when you have a wheelchair guest or a baby in a high seat. Groups feel welcome - the staff handle them professionally. Children are welcome. It's close on the way to or from the Anchorage International Airport!

food: great! customer service: TERRIBLE! because of this,…read morei'd give it a 0.5/5 stars! "My family and I went to Guido's today 04/7/26 at around 1:00pm. Upon arrival, we were told to wait 20 minutes for a table. However, after waiting for over 20 minutes, we were completely ignored by the staff, even though the restaurant was nearly empty. It was clear that the staff was prioritizing white customers over us, which made us feel extremely unwelcome and disrespected. As Polynesian people, we felt discriminated against. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone who values fair treatment and respect." - my sister's review. this happened to us today and this is not the first, second, OR third time this has happened! i started going to guido's in 2021 because a friend took me there. i have loved their food since so i brought in family, friends, etc. we would usually come in a big group or as a family. like every big group, we laugh, we are loud, it is a loud place in general. although loud, we are always respectful and tip well! we've rented guido's for my mom's 65th birthday party a year ago and the price they told us up front ($300) was different than what we ended up paying for. we brought our own food in, set up, cleaned everything after top to bottom, and they ended up charging us over $1k over "soft drinks". when we tried to address this with the owner, he did not return any of our calls. when we went in person to really just talk and itemize the bill, his employees would say he's not there, but we would see him walking around in the back. time after time, even with the terrible service, we would return in hopes to give them another chance. time after time, we get ignored or given passive aggressive service! they would whisper things to each other and just passes us by. we do not see this same treatment towards any white customers who are present at the time we are. also, there has been only ONE waitress who has always been kind to us and continues to be: a BLACK WOMAN. shout out to her! it's unfortunate that it has come to this because 1) i loved their food, 2) i do not like to put any businesses on blast EVER. i am understanding and want to see businesses thrive, especially longtime businesses. however, this continues to happen and this needs to be SAID.

This is Sparta pizza!…read more Steve has always been friendly when I come in or get delivery. I've always enjoyed going to this place since they first opened. I was lucky enough to work nearby and they were nice enough to provide some pizzas for the staff. It started with pizza and moved on to chicken wings with fries and other sandwich's! Honestly, I really like that you get french fries with chicken wings. It makes you feel like you're getting a lot more and I do appreciate that. Every time I've gone in the place has been clean and well kept it always has great smells and aromas! Definitely worth checking out a great pizza place on southside

This place is an absolute gem!…read more We came here today and everything was phenomenal. The gyro was perfect, the potatoes and salad were delicious, and the custard dessert was out of this world. The service here is outstanding. It feels like getting lunch or dinner from your own Greek Papou. They are incredibly generous and welcoming, which makes the whole experience so special. To the people complaining about the prices: anyone who's been in Alaska knows that sourcing and buying quality food here is expensive for both restaurants and customers. The prices here are VERY fair for the quality and portion sizes you get. Yes, the restaurant is obviously small and tucked away in a little aged strip mall, but that is part of its charm. If you want authentic, incredible Greek food made with love, come here. Tip: If seating is tight, just get it to-go! We will absolutely be back.

Some of the best travel experiences happen completely by accident, and Antonio's was exactly that…read morefor us. We had actually set out to visit a nearby Manila bakery we found on Yelp. As we were driving by, we noticed Antonio's and decided to stop in. From the outside--and even when we first walked in--the place was completely unassuming. To be candid, it looked a little worn around the edges. If you're someone who judges a restaurant by its appearance, you might keep driving. That would be a mistake. What followed was one of the culinary highlights of our entire trip to Alaska. We ordered a couple of items, but the owner insisted we try several additional dishes. As vegetarians, we're often limited when exploring new cuisines, but not here. Every plate that arrived was fresh, flavorful, and made with obvious care. The experience was a revelation. It made me realize that I've probably never had authentic Greek food before. The Greek dishes I've had from chain restaurants, food courts, and grocery store offerings don't even belong in the same conversation. The ingredients tasted fresher, the flavors were more vibrant, and every bite felt like it came from a family recipe rather than a corporate kitchen. What elevated the meal even further was the owner himself. He spent time talking with us, sharing how he ended up in Alaska and telling stories about his journey. It felt less like dining at a restaurant and more like being welcomed into someone's home. I've traveled extensively and eaten at restaurants across the country, and I can confidently say Anchorage is fortunate to have a place like this. Antonio's isn't just a restaurant--it's the kind of hidden gem that deserves national attention. Frankly, it belongs on a travel or food television show. If you're in Anchorage, do yourself a favor: ignore appearances, walk through the door, and trust the food.

I did not mean to hit the check in for here at this hour, I only wanted to do a quick review since…read moreI promised I would. Please excuse the check in. Anyway, I have been coming here for a couple of years mainly because Jen loves these things and I could go either way with them. I have found that the ingredients are fresh and they are prepared for you on the spot rather than pre made. Tito's sauce is really good and I think they should bottle it and sell it but that's another story...they started selling burgers for 5.25 with fries and they honestly do not suck, and although not the biggest burgers around they're still a pretty good buy for the money. The reviews are touch and go for here, so if you geek like a fresh gyro or a decent burger stop by...you make the call.
