Our serve Taylor was AMAZING! She was very attentive, polite, and personable. We loved her! Moving on to the food. We ordered the "Daily Bread" as a starter and let me tell you...best table bread I've ever had ever. We also got the ricotta honey spread and it was delicious!! For our entrees we all got pasta. Chicken fettuccine, cacio e pepe, and cream tomato vodka. All meals were 10/10 good. Everything was so amazing and fresh. We were here celebrating a friends birthday and Taylor surprised her with a delicious slice of cake. I believe it was a lemon blueberry vanilla cake. It was soooo good. Overall, I highly enjoyed my experience and would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for some good Italian. Especially the pasta.

We sat out on the gorgeous patio that has beautiful flowers hanging above and lovely lighting. I had a special request for the chef and I will say they went above and beyond to make it happen and take care of us. I'm so thankful! I ordered the Queen Stella Margherita which comes on this tasty tonda crust, it's crispy and flaky. Wow I don't typically eat the outer crust but this bread is so good! It has tomato, house-made mozzarella, and really yummy basil. To drink I had a Seasonal Spritz which I believe had apricots and amaretto, this is a nice fresh drink with great flavor. My son opted for the the Maria pizza with tomato, mozzarella, meatballs,Italian sausage, soppressata, Ezzo and pepperoni. Most importantly he got what his heart desired a Hawaiian pizza, his favorite! I love the service at Jay Luigi so much, Joey and the team really wanted us to have a great experience and we most certainly did.

Stopped in tonight by myself, after not having been there for several months. Decided to dine-in and enjoy the food fresh and hot. I was quickly reminded why I don't come more often: $32 for one person. That didn't even include tip. That was a simple order of the Vodka pasta (NO meat), a side of bread, and a can of Coke. THIRTY. TWO. DOLLARS. I honestly wouldn't mind it so much if I could at least get two meals out of it. I frequent Olivia (downtown) every 1-2 weeks, and am able to get two full meals out of an order of pasta and garlic bread. And that's a fancy restaurant. While this place is cute and has good service, it's essentially fast-food pasta. Having said that.... The restaurant itself is very clean and bright. You order at the front, are given a buzzer, and go find a table. They have both indoor and outdoor seating options. Indoor is fairly small, but they make it work! It's not meant to sit and talk for hours. Once your food is ready they deliver it to your table, along with a glass bottle of tap water for the table. It can get kind of noisy depending on business. I've always had great service - they're always on top of things and walking around in case you need something. Since I was dining alone tonight I opted to sit at the counter, which I love the concept of!! The food itself is delicious. The vodka pasta is really good (spicy)! Their daily bread is fabulous, nice and thick and soft - perfectly dippable, which is great since it comes with EVOO with herbs. A couple times when ordering carryout the pasta seemed a bit dry, so I made sure to ask for extra sauce. It was perfect that way! The pasta itself you can tell is fresh; perfect amount of chewiness and texture. Next time I'll probably try the vodka pasta with the breaded chicken - watching them cook, it looks delicious!! I was told it's probably the most frequently ordered item on the menu. All in all, I highly recommend giving them a try. Just be prepared to pay a high price. I'm going with an overall 3-stars based on price for the portion size. If that changes in the future I'll happily edit my review. One final note: parking can be a bitch here, and at least one of the neighboring lots has tow-warnings so heads up!

MAKE A RESERVATION....You will need it…read more Piccola is a very small place. A few tables. And you need the reservation to get in as people do go all the time. The chef is the owner and even takes the order. The assistant cleans, and serves and handles the rest. Like stepping into an Italian family kitchen to see what is on the table for the night. And with the special menu of the evening, it is like you are stepping into the kitchen. With a reservation for 6 we were lucky to have the table. It is a BYOB so bring what you might want to go with the meals. A red wine is a good idea. As for the specials, it was varied. There are many options to have that are not on the menu. Even that is small. The chef does tell you what was the specials. He answers the questions and does describe what he is thinking. For 6 of us this gave us good options. Several were ordered, and some traditional was selected. We started with appetizers. Tomatoes and mozzarella was always a way to start. Classic. Mixed with a green salad and some extra cheese it is a good way to go. Garlic bread was a complement. We also had the rice balls stuffed with a small meatball combo. This is typical in certain regions of Italy, and each are different. It had a special sauce to top it and more bread. The sauce was good enough as a dipping sauce for the bread without the rice ball. As we ate the apps we drank the wines. Truly typical for an Italian meal. When the entrees came out it was time to shift things around. These entrees were a good size and freshly cooked. You can see the chef in the kitchen cooking each meal. This is a home kitchen. We had a few specials. One was the duck on the couscous. With the frech sauce and herbs it was amazing. It is not how you expect to have duck. It was definitely not Chinese. This was a fresh duck cooked and aged so that the flavor was ideal. The portion was large and the aroma amazing. Also had to have a very traditional pasta carbonara - pasta mixed in a garlic cream sauce with onions and pieces of bacon. A bit of peper and grated cheese helps. It is an old simple idea what what is always made in a family. There was also pasta bolognese, and even a pasta with sliced rib steak in a mushroom cream sauce. Very different. Once the meal was finished had to have espresso and dessert. The espresso was made the old way in a pot I still have on a the shelf and use. As for the dessert, we did have a lemon cake and a cake made with pistachio that was ground and had flavor that was not expected as a cream in a cake. It was exceptional. As the waitress mentioned, these cakes come from a bakery in Italy and are delivered. The taste and sweetness are typical of Italy and not of the US. Very Italian. The food is great. It is fresh, tasty, has a flavor and style that is unique to the chef. He can make a great meal that you will enjoy. It is typical but with a twist. The portions are a good size. The price is perfect. Bring your own wine and step inside. It is like being in someone;s kitchen. And make that reservation!

A whole new menu but didn't include any of william's classics. No duck salad, no clam linguini or spicy seafood pasta or any other williams items on the menu.

Sadly I dont think we'll be back until william come back.

Ever since going to Armature, DalMoros has always been a staple for my family. One of the cool things about DalMoros is the fairly simple menu and selection path. You pick your pasta and the sauce to go with. This is always desired compared to a super extensive and overwhelming menu. The pasta is always a hit with the little ones. The most recent combination was the penne and cacio e pepe - just the perfect base flavor compared to the tangy and sometimes spicier options. When it comes to freshness, freshly made pasta at the site appears to be one of the pillars of the DalMoros business model. You can't go wrong with this as it is cooked to al dente perfection. As others mentioned, there usually isn't a line - and if there is, the staff is able to manage it fairly well such that you can place your order and pick your made-to-order meal within a relatively good time. Would definitely recommend DalMoros if you're ever feeling up for Italian, or just want something hassle free for the kids.

Yes, there is tons of food made in the US too but it's a good variety. You won't find everything that you find at a standard grocery store here. Off the top of my head I couldn't find Greek yogurt, cottage cheese or nut butter, but what you do find is spectacular. We got pasta and pasta sauce imported from Italy, frozen ravioli from New York, coffee beans from Italy, bread from local bakeries, and my husband loved the coke from Mexico with real sugar. We also grabbed cannolis from their deli. They have a substantial wine and butcher area. Also a a good selection of ready made foods. This place is hidden, but the parking lot is big. I will definitely continue to come here to shop!

Just OK is my takeaway. It was under construction in the…read moremiddle of the store so I could not get some items. I wanted Calabrian chiles, but they were apparently behind the plastic construction area. At the deli, I asked for a half pound prosciutto. They cut over 1lb due to lack of English. OK. I took it anyway so it was not wasted (the domestic was no bueno). It was old and dried out. There was no one at the meat counter, so I had to ask the deli guy to help me. The chicken breasts that were on sale were gatgantuan. I have never seen chicken breasts so large. The wings smelled bad when I got home to package to freeze. I had to toss 10 lbs. The reason I went was for the chicken sale. I am not risking food poisoning. The prices on most grocery items were actually higher than Publix. For specialty Italian items, the selection was just good. I did find guanciale and pancetta. Honestly, I would rather go to Mazzaro's or Moschella's. Their service is much better, and they have much more specialty items, plus they are cleaner and don't sell old nasty food.

I made the mistake of going to Mazzaro's on a Saturday afternoon. I didn't realize they closed at…read more2:30 p.m., and that is 100% my fault. I arrived around 2:20 p.m. and was let in by a worker at the front door, who told me they were closing shortly and suggested I head to the deli first if that was what I wanted. Once I walked in, however, a cashier yelled to me that they were closed. I was a little confused because I had just been let in by a worker who knew I was coming inside. From there, the experience felt a bit chaotic. There were quite a few people in the store, and I felt like the workers were very displeased by my presence. I honestly felt like I was a bother. I completely understand that I arrived close to closing, so I tried to be respectful of their time and rushed through the store to grab a few items. I had driven an hour to get there, so I wanted to at least make the most of the trip. When I went to check out, I initially got in one line, and the cashier was finishing up with the customer already there and directed me to another line, so I followed her instructions. I had a basket with my items and wasn't sure if I was supposed to empty it myself. There wasn't an obvious place to leave the empty basket, and the cashier never indicated that she would take it from me. I apologized and explained that it was my first time there. She told me that next time I should come during the week so I could browse more. As I was leaving, I noticed so many people trying to enter the store and being turned away because it was now past closing. That made me think Mazzaro's may want to reconsider its Saturday hours. They are clearly a very popular and well-known store, yet being open from only 9:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Saturdays and being closed on Sundays makes it difficult for people who work typical Monday-Friday, full-time hours to visit. I take responsibility for not checking the hours before making the drive, and I understand that the employees were probably ready to go home. However, I still think there is a difference between enforcing closing time and making a customer feel unwelcome. Unfortunately, I did not feel warmly greeted or welcomed during my visit, and it put a damper on the entire experience.
