I was very pleased with Valerio's. After several Italian places fell flat since visiting, Valerio's was a win. It's a warm, family place with hearty food and great service. I can't wait to go back and try a calzone or pizza.

Stopped here for lunch on Wednesday afternoon. I started with the tortilla soup and it was very…read moreaverage. There wasn't a lot of chicken or anything else in it - it was mostly a semi-thick broth surrounded by lots of tortilla chips. My husband ordered the Reuben and was so so disappointed. The corned beef was tender, but he was appalled when he removed the bread to find a layer of corned beef folded in half to cover half of the sandwich. There wasn't much corned beef at all. Cole slaw also tasted like bland cabbage. :(( Not sure we would return.

In response to Milen D's recent review of Firestones(which I witnessed)…read more I honestly can't decide what's more embarrassing: your experience at the restaurant or the fact that you thought this review was worth posting. You apparently walked in expecting the entire establishment to revolve around your very specific demands, got disappointed, called someone a "clown," accused them of lying, and then produced this barely decipherable masterpiece of nonsense. The staff didn't fail you--you failed to understand where you were, what they offered, and apparently how restaurants work. And judging by the grammar and coherence of this review, I'm not sure you were in any condition to be evaluating anyone else's performance. Being unhappy with a meal is one thing. Throwing a tantrum because a restaurant didn't conform to whatever bizarre expectations you had in your head is another. Do everyone a favor next time: stay home, lower your expectations, and let the adults enjoy their dinner without having to witness another episode of The World's Most Confused Customer. The restaurant got one bad review. You got permanently immortalized as the person who wrote it. I'd say one of those is considerably harder to recover from.

Firestone's Kitchen…read more This was the BEST pizza I've had in Erie as a traveller looking to settle here. I've tried 3 others, mostly very flat on crust or flavor (all independent places). Firestone's pizza has an excellent char, solid sauce and flavorful toppings. The restaurant also has a beer/wine store, and a eye pleasing meat counter/butcher. I have no complaints - friendly service, fair priced pizza for excellent quality, and the liquor section has some charm to the decor. ***From the road, look for Gordon's (even though Firestone Kitchen is the eatery). Gordon's is more prominent from the road.

If I only have 24hr in Erie, I'm making this my one stop for the best thing on the menu- The Oakwood Deluxe Sandwich with crispy fries and a side of chicken gravy. This is one of the best sandwiches I've ever eaten and have been searching for something similar in Pittsburgh for 10 years and nothing even comes close. The owners are very sweet and welcoming to everyone. The staff treats everyone like family and gives you that small town dinners vibe in the best way. You can choose to sit on the restaurant side (left) or the bar side (right)- both are great, but I prefer the bar side! If you've never been, make sure you plan to make this a stop!

Good choices from eggs, omelette, pancakes and waffles. I chose the chorizo hash. I am told that was homemade where the corned beef hash is not. The chorizo had a nice heat. The potatoes and eggs were good too. Someone ordered banana pancakes, the chorizo Benedict, the frittata, and the sausage and gravy. All enjoyed their bfast. The sausage gravy was huge. Special nod to the home fries. They are good! Prices not too bad. About average if not a bit cheaper than most places. I'd go back. Everyone had a good Bfast and we enjoyed ourselves.

We did tell them we wanted food. Finally got up to give someone our order. Then waited again forever. Mind you at this point it's no longer busy. Find out they burned our food, apologized.

I was very disappointed. Won't be going back anytime soon. No other options in that area other than Stella which wasn't open yet.
