Great food, service pretty good. The brick oven pizza called. the lasagna is very delicious. So far, this is the best place for a personal pizza and they even provide a station of fresh cut garlic, hot pepper flakes and shaved Parmesan cheese that you can help yourself. The ambiance is pleasing for families and friends. The seating area is just right and if you place an order to go, it comes up very quickly. They also served gelato there, which is very nice. I definitely will be going again. read more

We came for a birthday dinner on a Saturday night. Our waitress was pleasant and attentive. The restaurant had a nice atmosphere, I'm glad the background music wasn't too loud so that we could still hear each other. The kitchen got all of our dishes out quickly, probably one of the quickest services I've ever had. I had the duck breast over polenta. It was nicely cooked with crispy skin. The polenta was silky yummy. My husband had the lobster ravioli in vodka sauce which he said was ok, nothing special. Others had the four cheese pasta, linguini fra diavlo with shrimp, filet di manzo, pepperoni flatbread, and something else I can't remember. Everyone said their entree was a-ok. The biggest hit at the table was the creamy leek soup, even my little boys lapped it up. I wouldn't rush back here but I wouldn't mind coming back if my family wants to return. read more

Rude manager who would rather harass patrons that welcome them. It may have been racially motivated. Would not recommend. The ambiance was nice, prices fair, and waitress was excellent. The food was meh, would not go back. read more

We had a wonderful dinner on a busy Friday night. Their computer system was down from a power outage but they had various ways to pay. Our waitress was wonderful and cocktails were fun for the holiday season. The food was good but nothing stood out as outstanding. We had a birthday in the group and they served a little cannoli that was sweet. read more

Got a last minute reservation for a large group at Fusco's for dinner. The restaurant is small but has a great vibe. There is a small bar and an adjacent pizza restaurant although we did not eat there. We had a table for 10, all of which were on separate checks. Our server Ava didn't miss a beat. She was friendly and accommodating and kept the drinks flowing. The menu is authentic Italian and the flavors are delectable. The bruschetta appetizer was amazing and a good portion. I had the goat cheese ravioli with pancetta special which was rich and delicious. The entire table raved about their entrees. The kitchen even did a special meal for one of the ladies with severe dietary restrictions. Save room for desert as the ricotta cheesecake is not to be missed. Will definitely be going back!! read more

The first time I ate at Fusco's was the day that Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson both passed away. I remember that T ordered mussels, and I had seared ahi. We were so impressed that more than a decade later we still rank Fusco's amongst one of our favorite local restaurants. Technically, my review is 4.75 stars .... but since I like the owner (a no-nonsense, hands-on former Brooklynite) I rounded up. Most entrees are served with either a Caesar or Mista (field green) salad. Everyone at my table ordered something different. The general consensus: delicious! ** Sausage and Peppers -- a wonderful choice. Served with a soft hoagie roll, I tore off pieces and topped the bread with the goodies on my plate. After the fact, I realized my dish was supposed to come with marinara sauce. It didn't. But I probably wouldn't have used it anyway. ** Gamberi Fra Diavolo -- Ellen asked that her shrimp and pasta be cooked mild vs spicy (thus the fra diavlo!) No problem! ** Zuppa di Pesce -- Another winner with shrimp, mussels, clams, calamari and tomato broth served over spaghetti ** Short ribs -- one of the evening's specials. A perfect choice for our friend who leans towards basic American fare. For dessert my husband and I shared cannoli, three minis per order. Based on a Yelper's comment that the shells are partially filled, I asked our server to make sure they didn't skimp on the ricotta. Perfecto! As good as what I get in NYC. Our friends shared a chocolate souffle. Plated with a scoop of ice cream it was a pretty presentation and according to Ellen, tasted as good as it looked. Fusco's has a dedicated following. Reservations, particularly for Friday or Saturday evening, are strongly suggested. If there is no street parking, feel relatively confident you won't be towed in the lot across the street, when the medical facility and neighboring pharmacy are closed. One last comment: during the height of the pandemic the restaurant wasn't open for lunch. If they're back to their former hours and you like decadent bad-for-you Italian cold cuts -- yes please! -- consider the Mulberry Street sandwich. No restaurant I've been to duplicates its deliciousness. read more

The food is always excellent, as is the service. I'm a sucker for their basic red sauce, but specials and other items never disappoint. Come ready to eat so much of the fresh bread. read more

Nice little Italian place, we sat out on the patio when she was quite comfortable with the ceiling fans and heaters in the winter time. Service was extremely pleasant. We had the butternut squash ravioli and A Pepperoni flatbread very good. The only thing a bit confusing it is next-door to a pizza place with the same name so if you were looking for the round pizzas this is not your place. It would be nice if they would offer a few of those pizzas at the restaurant. In downtown Acworth which is a cute upcoming area. read more

This is an excellent dish. Duck is very tender, perfectly done. I gave 4/5 stars because one of the servers accidentally stepped on my foot and did not apologize, and the manager saw this and gave me a dirty look. I felt extremely awkward for the rest of my meal as I saw them looking at me afterwards. Otherwise, excellent food read more

Best Italian ever! We love it!Cheese and Pear Ravioli, Marinara is the best!Lobster Ravioli

Enjoyed dinner in downtown Acworth with a group of 10. We had attended the Acworth Beer and Wine Festival with several friends so this quaint Italian restaurant was packed with diners for our early 5:00 pm reservation. This restaurant is located in a storefront with free street parking along with parking spaces in a small lot across the street from the business. They had to break up our group into a 6 top table and a 4-person booth; we were disappointed but it worked out great for us because we sat with two great friends that we have known all our lives but had not seen in a few years. We were seated quickly and our server arrived at the table immediately to take our drink orders. My wife and her girlfriend had Moscow Mules which they both enjoyed. Our server was very friendly and attentive throughout our dinner. My better half ordered the duck which is one of her favorite dishes. I ordered the veal Marsala with house-made pasta. My Veal dish was EXCELLENT! My wife liked the duck but she loved my Veal Marsala. The other couple ordered a pizza and a seafood pasta dish. All meals were served with choice of soup or salad and fresh bread with Olive Oil and Parmesan cheese for dipping. The Mushroom Bisque was excellent. Definitely a great option for Italian dining in downtown Acworth. read more

This restaurant did not disappoint! The food was delicious. We ordered the Margherita flatbread, Calamari Fritti, risotto, and the tiramisu! Every dish was worth ordering again. My risotto had prawns with roasted, crispy lemongrass and fresh herbs. I wanted to share, but it w was too mouthwatering to entertain the idea of sharing. Seriously though, this was a great place to eat. The service was excellent, too. I highly recommend this restaurant if you love a great, romantic atmosphere, attentive service, and delicious Italian food. read more

We came here for dinner on a Sunday night without a reservation and it was not a problem. Before we start, there is a pizza place next door with the same name that is affiliated that has its own review page. This is for the restaurant, which does not serve pizza, but has flatbreads that are rectangular in shape and come from next door. In addition to the Salami flatbread, I started with the Calamari and it was a large portion with not too much breading. It was not a heavy dish and was a great starter. The flatbread was large as well and cut into 4 slices. There was a good amount of meat and the crust was crunchy. I also tried some of the wedding soup and that was good as well. The manager came by and told my kids that if they finished their meal, they would get free gelato. This highly motivated them and their gelato was comped. So fun and a great place for a family dinner! read more

Now that our daughter lives in north GA and we are in south Atlanta, get togethers are tough. But for a combined birthday celebration we settled on this gem. There were 7 of us and I reserved a table, which was a good idea. With 3 adults, 3 finicky teenagers and a VERY talkative 5 year old, our server Kayla had her hands full. But she never lost patience, never broke character. She memorized our orders, and despite many, many changes to the "official" menu, she got it all right. Catering to 3 vegetarians and one gluten-free diet, we ordered pastas, pizzas, salads and more. My Italian husband's Shrimp Diavolo was the best he's ever eaten, and I loved the special, which was Beggars Purse Pasta stuffed with cheese and pears! My 19 yo grandson took several bites and was sorry he hadn't ordered it. A less-sophisticated 15 yo didn't care for his pasta so they graciously changed it for him, and the 5 yo also gave her pasta to another sibling and then asked for a child's pizza. The gluten-free spaghetti tonight was spaghetti SQUASH, perfectly done, healthful and delicious. We all managed dessert, and everyone got something different: tiramisu, cheesecake, gelato, cannoli and chocolate souffle! Definitely our most-expensive meal out with all this crew, but also worth it. Next birthday we're bringing them one at a time! read more

Fusco's Via Roma - The beautiful and delightful Kayla, server extraordinaire! - Italian Near Me - Acworth, Georgia

I have been to Fusco's numerous times in the past 15 years or more. Quality, dependable food and service. For this visit we went after my son's high school graduation. Sadly I did not take any pictures. I guess I was enjoying the moment and that probably in the grand scheme of life is more important. It was a warm day, and my mother and I both had the sangria. It was quite refreshing and very tasty. We shared an order of calamari which were very good. Sauce was excellent. We were all having a hard time deciding where to order until we heard that there was a lasagna special. Our waitress made mention that every time they had lasagna on the menu that it sold out. So, we were boring and 3 of the 4 of us got lasagna. My son for the white four cheese sauce on fettuccini and added an Italian sausage. Each meal came with a salad. My mom really enjoyed the house dressing on her salad. I had a Caesar, which was also quite good. Now to the good stuff......that lasagna. Lots of layers and meat. Some ricotta but not at all too much. Did I say lots of layers......so many yummy layers. We all mmmmed our way to dessert. I had tiramisu and my kids split the chocolate soufflé. No one was hungry or disappointed when the meal ended. Great service. Attentive staff. Another great meal at Fuscos! read more

Food was just average. Not great. Server was good and attentive. Two girls at hostess stand rude

Service, food, ambiance all great. Love this restaurant. I had a group of six we all loved our dishes. Entrees come with a nice salad. Crusty bread is provided. Just delicious. A little pricey but worth it. A must try. read more

Amazing menu-every dish is fresh, perfectly prepared, & delicious, love the positive & attentive wait staff, & the atmosphere is quaint & fun whether for two or a group! My mom & I eat at Fusco's once a month as it reminds us of my Dad's Italian family cooking... and this Friday night 6pm we wanted to have a large birthday party; & I called and the owners were willing to take 14-16 of us even though the website only has a max of 12. Thank You All So much for a phenomenal meal & making it an extra special experience for our large group! We will be back soon Ali read more

Ate here early on July 26. A friend and I met up to grab dinner and chat. One of my co-workers suggested the restaurant and said it was good. I love good Italian food, so I figured we'd give it a try! They have some indoor and outdoor seating. It was pouring rain and very humid, so we sat inside, but passed a table with a couple drinking chocolate or espresso martinis that looked really good. The place is mainly decorated with dark wood, so it's homey feeling. We took our time perusing the menu and ordering. Our waitress checked in with us frequently, but did not make it seem like she was rushing us. We tried the seasonal sangria, which I really enjoyed, especially at $5/glass! My friend got the lemon martini which had a great balance of sour and sweet. We decided on arancini and got 2 large ones in an amazing tomato sauce. It was good, but I would have liked it to be hot instead of just warm. I like my food burning my mouth. I ordered the penne in the vodka sauce, which had crispy pancetta and peas, while my girl friend went with the fettuccine Alfredo and added chicken. She was very impressed with the tenderness of the chicken and took half her meal home since she got a large portion. My sauce was probably one of the better ones I've had and I ate the whole thing! We finished off the meal sharing the chocolate cake with ice cream. The only criticism I could have for this place is the pasta isn't fresh. Other than that, the food is really good and they have gluten free options. read more

First time here. Hour wise their only open at nights. But everything is authentic and fresh. Will come back! Nice atmosphere and good waitress! read more

Allie, my server, said she was going to box up our two pasta dishes. Only to discover this morning that we had bread in all of our to go boxes... I'm very disappointed as this restaurant is very expensive and I was looking forward to eating my leftovers. I doubt I'll be back. This feels racially motivated. read more

Really great experience for a party of 7 -- reservations were quick and simple, food was absolutely delicious (give that cucumber basil martini a try!!), and we could not ask for better setting for dinner and amazing service (huge shout out to Zoe for her hustle and great attention to the entire affair, really providing a great evening for dual celebration for our daughter's graduation and son's birthday!). Thank you for a great evening :) read more

Wasn't planning to write this review, as I wanted to give the manager an opportunity to make it right. But here we are. I really wish I could provide a zero star review. My husband and I are not new to the area, but decided todo dinner here on a Tuesday night. Walked in to find $5 wine specials, so I decided to order a glass. The glass came to the table dirty, with white powder all around the rim and in the wine. I immediately sent the glass back, asking for a new pour and glass. I watched as the waitress went to the bartender, both proceeded to laugh, roll their eyes and pour the SAME wine into another glass. Waitress brings it back over, white substance still floating in the wine. I send it back again. Same laughing and rolling eyes, but now both looking at me. Guess that $2 buck chuck is worth too much to their bottom line to not throw it out for a fresh glass. Shame on both of them. Ten minutes later the waitress brings me a glass "on the house" as an "apology". I order another. So my total for wine should have been $5. We get our tab, and I was charged TWICE for $11 a glass. So not only did they charge me for the "apology glass" but they charged me normal price for two glasses. $22 total. I decided not to address it, as I was tired of being the topic of conversation at the bar. My husband STILL left a 22% tip. Fast forward, I email the manager the next day to share my experience. He seems apologetic and offers to send us a gift card to try again. 3 weeks went by, and we got no gift card. I let the manager know, and still have not gotten one. They had plenty of time to try to rectify the situation and make it better, and they chose not to. Reality is, there's a lot better Italian restaurants in the area, by the looks of that Tuesday night emptiness and service, other customers have figured it out too. The waitresses that served our table was a young blonde. The bartender was a brunette with tattoos. They were clearly friends. Life advice for the waitress and bartender -- Character is defined as what you do when no one is watching. When you work in the resturant industry, people are always watching. Shame on you both. Do better. read more

We are frequent patrons for many years and this last visit was very disappointing. My meal was served about 30-40 minutes late due to an issue with the computer system. Most restaurants would have offered to pay for the dish due to the very late delivery. However, this manager (Wednesday night) decided to be condescending while lecturing me and then not accountable for the late meal. Her rudeness ruined my evening. read more

Good food at Fusco's, we brought our own wine which was happily uncorked for a few. Good service, friendly and professional staff.

Fuski via Roma has delicious food, personable, and prompt servers an Italian ambience and fair prices. What more could you ask for?

Soooo goood! Our family of 5 loved every item we ordered. We will be back!! If you're in Woodstock, this is a kid friendly, causal restaurant with a nice wine menu. read more

We've been here so many times now that I've lost count. They always do an amazing job. Everything I've had on the menu has been delicious. You can't go wrong! The things I don't like: the ladies at the front always make it such a big deal if you don't have a reservation. They look at you like you're stupid even when there are only two tables seated. Every so often they miss a little on the specials. I had a veal special that was spectacular, but needed more sauce to complete it. So the rest was just ok. My gripes are minimal and my praises are high. This place is fantastic and deserves your attention. read more

Usually am always fan of Fusco's, but after my last dining experience, I don't think I'll be returning. The server, Allie, asked if she could box up the remainder of our food, but after getting home, she had only sent us with boxes of bread. Really disappointing seeing as the food isn't cheap and neither was the tip that was left. read more

The male bartender was very loud and clearly drunk. We were sitting across the restaurant and could hear every word of his conversation. The manager was drinking at the bar as well. Our server Haleigh was clearly overwhelmed, despite only having a few tables (we came around 8 and the restaurant was emptying out). It took over 30 minutes for my husband and I to order, and we finished our appetizer before he got his drink. The pasta was okay, but not nearly good enough to make up for the crappy service. Keep in mind, if you're fed up with bad service and decide to get the tiramisu to go, you will get mostly whipped cream and be charged a $1 to go fee. read more

I am Italian and Fusco Pizza cooks great pizzas (we ordered Margherita) and Sicilian Arancini. The Pizza had fresh basil and perfectly cooked on top and bottom. The arancini were outstanding. They also offer healthy salads like spinach eggs ham salads. Wish they could expand ad a Franchise in North Georgia. read more
