I could taste the alcohol and it was yummy. I trued the cielo pasta. It is a seafood combination over a bed of pasta with red sauce. It was delicious. It had clams, shrimp, calamari. Everything was cooked perfectly and it was served super hot. I fell in love. This is my new favorite meal. I had been getting the old bay shrimp for years but yum. I have a new favorite. Great service and reasonably priced food while supporting a non-chain restaurant.

Maybe it was an off day or maybe I just put too much trust in Wake Forest reviews again…read more My friend and I went during lunch. We were greeted warmly and our waiter was outstanding. He was hard working, always gave refills, and was kind. He was definitely the highlight of our visit. The ambiance is that of an old-school pizza parlor from the 90s, but it didn't feel nostalgic, it felt boring. Unfortunately, the food was just okay. I ordered the Milton's Special pizza and it was fine. Nothing to rave about but nothing to want to come back to, either. My friend ordered a pizza as well. It's nice that they have GF options. She wasn't too impressed with her choice, either. It tasted like it could have come from the freezer at the grocery store, it was very generic in flavor. The service was really the best part of our entire meal. 10/10 service, 4/10 food

First time visit as I wanted to try a new pizza place in Wake Forest. I'm glad I did. Paco's is…read morein the same place that used to be Little Caesar's pizza. I placed an online order for a Margherita pizza with sausage and a cheese pizza, both 18 inches. The website was easy to order from, no issues there. They even accepted Google Pay which was a nice bonus. Prices were also inline with similar pizzas in the Wake Forest area from non-major chain restaurants. The wait time on a Friday evening was about 30 minutes (same as mentioned when ordering) which is inline with other local pizza shops during that time of day. When I picked up the pizza, a lady greeted me with a hello and a nice smile, can't overlook that nowadays! My wife and I had the Margherita pizza and my son had the cheese. The Margherita was very good. I figured I'd like it, but was a bit surprised how much I'd like it. Thin crust. If you like olive oil and garlic, like I do, you'll appreciate it on this pizza. I think they enhance everything else on the pizza. They are pronounced, but not overpowering. The pizza was not greasy, with the ingredients (fresh spinach, onion, tomatoes) very fresh tasting. The crust was ok, not special, not bad at all, but the toppings definitely made up for it. I think some additional flavoring from yeast would have helped the crust. My wife also really liked the flavor of the pizza. We'll definitely put this on repeat in a future order. My son thought the cheese pizza was good, similar to other pizza restaurants in the area that are not large chain types. Overall, I'm glad I took a chance and now have yet another option for pizza in Wake Forest. I'll be back!

It's a family-owned and operated spot, with all the standards on the menu. Everything is served piping hot, in generous portions. Service is great - you feel like family. Food is always on-point. Pasta cooked just right - never mushy. Sauces sweet and balanced. Crust is crispy. Cheese is fresh and perfect melted. Is this a gourmet, white-tablecloth fru-fru Italian fusion restaurant? No. But it is a solid neighborhood spot deliciously serving traditional favorites in a friendly atmosphere.

This place is one of the absolute best places in the state to get authentic Italian food and their yelp rating makes no sense. People are so quick to leave bad reviews, but will leave a restaurant satisfied and won't leave a good review. This is one of those spots where you'll visit and you'll never forget it. Their pizzas are flawless. Their pastas are incredible. Everything we've ever had is downright amazing. The staff and the service is incredible. It's locally owned by a small family and they're always there busting their butts off to make amazing food for this community. This spot is a must try! Highly recommended!

We ordered take out and the Parmesan Alfredo tasted almost spoiled. It smelled like rotten milk and the cheese looked curdled. The pizza was below average in taste, but we couldn't pinpoint if it was the cheese or crust. I'm so disappointed as this was my absolute favorite Wakefield restaurant and now have no reason to visit. I hope they reconsider the changes they made over the last year and bring back higher quality ingredients!

My find for 2025. I had passed up this little gem for years because their own website says they…read moreare only open 4-8 p.m. daily and has only a limited menu published. In fact, they are open for lunch daily, and have an extensive menu of salads, sandwiches, and pasta that is not online. I found this out when I walked in there one day, thinking I would try a piece of pizza. Instead, I ordered the chicken Parm. I expected absolutely nothing. But it was the best chicken Parm I've had in years. Much better than Olive Garden or many of the local Italian restaurants. Puts Bella Italia to shame. All ingredients are fresh. The pasta was cooked just for me. The sauce had just the right amount of melted mozzarella topping. Truly top-notch meal. I received three garlic knots with my meal, just perfect for dipping in the leftover sauce. And all for 13 bucks. I have also had several of the salads which are very fresh and generous and size. Just two dollars to add grilled chicken to the Greek salad. I look forward to working through the rest of the menu. This place is truly a gem. If the owner would update his website and do some advertising, he would do extremely well. I never would have expected this quality food in such a hole in the wall place. For right now, it is my secret.

We ended up right back where we started, next-door to Blackbird Books and Café, at an Italian restaurant on Blake Street. When we walked in, we were greeted happily and seated right away. Our server was the highlight of our day. I believe his name was Sal. Throughout the meal, he entertained us with jokes, did magic tricks, and taught us the proper order of eating a meal and drinking an espresso. This is a life lessons to remember always. We ordered: - Complimentary half dozen warm garlic knots wrapped in foil brought to the table - The White Pie - Sauceless Pizza with Olive Oll & Garlic base. Topped with Mozzarella, Parmesan, Tomatoes & Onions. My daughter said this was one of the best pizzas she's tried. It was so yummy with delicious minced garlic and perfect crust - Pollo alla Griglia x2 - Grilled Chicken breast served over a Spring mix, with Tomatoes, Onions & Kalamata Olives. Dressed with Balsamic Vinegar & Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Really hit the spot and good if you're looking for protein and veggies to fill you up. - Manicotti - Homemade pasta tubes filled with Italian herbs & Ricotta cheese. Served in a fresh Marinara sauce. Topped with melted Mozzarella cheese. My daughter ordered this and said it was really good. I tried some and it was. A heavy dish so I wanted something lighter on this warm, humid day. - Espresso x2 - we were only " allowed to order " an espresso after our meal because this is the proper order. A life lesson on dining from our waiter. I only order my coffee after a meal now. Italians know best. Thank you! Charming patio seating with a great view, or table and booth seating inside. Men's and women's restrooms for customers.
