These items were put on a scale for weight, we didn't know but it's ok the grill draws everyone in. Added rice and took it home and demolished half with plenty of leftovers. The carne asada was so good, heck everything was good. We will definitely go back. Mad at ourselves for the times we kept driving by so now we have a new spot. No pictures this time.

As I walked in, I was mesmerized by the decorations of Little Italy. There's a light blue and white vintage micro pick up truck parked in the front, to the left are display of variety of gelato, pastries, cakes; in the center is ordering station and to the right are self serve beverages and dining area throughout the building. Their menu has so many features from panini, sandwiches, pizzas, wraps, salads, soups and appetizers. Once you place your order, it's self seating and you will be given a number and the food will be walked to you or you can pick it up. I ordered 3 items: 1) Arancini 2) Eggplant and Tomato Panini 3) Bruschetta Pizza. The panini has eggplant, roasted tomatoes, fresh mozzarella and basil pesto sauce. I thought I ordered a panini but the fresh mozzarella wasn't even melted. The skin of the eggplant was very chewy, a little tough. and the whole sandwich had great flavor. The panini also came with one side which you have variety of selections but I chose their mac n cheese. I'm surprised that they use cavatappi instead of the proper pasta. The pasta didnt really coat or absorb the flavors but ran away. My eyebrows lifted when the meat, peas and potatoes arancini arrive to the table because I wasn't expecting for them to be bigger than normal. I wouldn't say they are appetizer size but more like entree style because it can feed up to two people with generous portions that lies on top of marinara sauce. It was delicious but very heavy. They offer 15 varieties of pizzas and I order their bruschetta pizza which was topped with fresh tomatoes, garlic, basil, olive oil, Parmesan cheese and drizzle with balsamic glaze. The pizza was amazing but the under carriage was too soft and not crispy for me. Before i left, I had to get some gelato: coconut and their peanut butter chocolate which both of them were simply amazing. I also purchased their limoncello cake and peach raspberry strudel. I was excited about the limoncello cake, one of my favorites but unfortunately it fell flat for me. I didn't taste any lemon flavors and the cake itself was very dense. On the other hand, the strudel was delicious. The restaurant was clean, comfortable, light music and offer outside seating. I had immaculate service from Joshua, Chyna, Kayla and other staff members, they had great team work, friendly, attentive and very knowledgeable. I would make another visit to try other items on their menu.

When I was able to make a visit, this small restaurant has limited seatings but manageable. You walk up to the counter, order your food selection and they will bring it out to you. You can dine in or take out. If you don't mind a little wait since everything is made fresh. I ordered 7 items: 1) Lengua taco 2) Chicken taco 3) Cubana sandwich 4) 1/4 Chicken 5) Plantains 6) Cactus salad 7) Cucumber drink. The 1/4 chicken was tender, juicy and well seasoned. The two sides ordered was plantains and cactus salad. The plantains were perfectly fried. The cactus salad was unique and surprisingly amazing. It is definitely a OMG level good. Everything on that platter was delicious. The two tacos were very tasty but what made it different was their freshly homemade corn tortillas. Between the lengua (tongue) and chicken, I prefer the lengua because unlike most lengua I've tasted in taco form, these were much tender, juicy and cut bigger than most. The flavors got more concentrated as I took more bites. When the cubana sandwich arrive to the table, I was totally surprised of how ginormous it was. According to the photo it look nothing like it but turn out to be a torta. This torta can feed 4 people if cut into quarters but unfortunately this item fell flat for me. It just had so much components and they were all bland. It had breaded beef, breaded chicken, fried egg and four other ingredients. It just made the whole sandwich very dry. They had three unique drinks: cucumber with lime, horchata and hibiscus. I selected the cucumber with lime, it was very refreshing and soothing. They also had other variety of drinks in the refrigerator. The restaurant was clean, cozy and filled with some decor. They also had a small table in the dining area with all the essential items such as napkins, plastic utensils, hot sauces and to go containers for your convenience. I had impeccable service from my server/ cashier Alexandra. She was friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. I will definitely make another visit to try other items on their menu.

This was second visit, and was every bit as good as the first. See my original for more details…read more Had the chicken and rib tacos again. This time tried their cucumber lime drink. Very good and refreshing. Tacos again were excellent. Can really tastes the charcoaled chicken. I do not buy chicken tacos anywhere else. These are that good. Again, these are big, well filled tacos... one is enough for the average appetite. This time I didn't order any sides, just didn't need one, and the total was under $14 including tax. I think this is pretty good value, especially considering they will refill your drink. I got the horchata with my refill, it was great too. Everyone here was very nice and appreciative. This place is doing everything right. I hope the community gives them a chance. They deserve to thrive.

But if you want solid, no-nonsense pizza at a price that doesn't make your wallet cry--Padrino's II is your jam. I can feed my whole family for under $35, tip included. Try pulling that off at a chain and see what kind of sadness shows up in a greasy box. This is a true mom-and-pop operation: no corporate gimmicks, just reliable, above-average pizza made by folks who've clearly done this a thousand times before. Delivery? Always 45-60 minutes. Never faster, never slower. Hoping for a 30-minute miracle? You must be new here. The dine-in vibe? Let's call it seasoned. Clean freaks might raise an eyebrow, but the hometown feel and genuinely kind staff make up for the scuffed floors and décor straight out of a 1993 pizza calendar. Bottom line: better than most chain joints, cheaper than therapy, and reliably comforting. Padrino's II is a Stafford classic for a reason.
