    Steak with mashed potatoes and a brown gravy that absolutely made the steak pop!
    Chris W.

    Enjoyed a business dinner here. Upscale but not overly fancy. Food was on point! I enjoyed their OLD FASHIONED cocktail. I had asked for a smoked old fashioned, which they thought they could do, but apparently no longer had their smoker accessible. I ordered a STEAK with side of mashed potatoes and sauteed onions. I had a brown gravy to pour on steak whichade the dish phenominal, exploding in umami flavors. We were a large party and service was great.

    Really can't complain. This place was great especially for being in Rockford. Steak quality was great and cooked perfectly. Mash potatoes were fresh. Asparagus was slightly over cooked but very good. The drinks were absolutely amazing. Great service. Will definitely come back! Good vibes...

    Butter and bread for the table

    The ambiance was nice and laidback relax feel. Our server was super nice and even gave great tips on what to order as a first time customer. Cant go wrong with the shrimp Dijon appetizer sooooo fire!! We loved it! Couldn't get enough. The pizza was delicious but not really crispy it's like a floppy middle and doughy vibe. So if you want crispy only the crust was. My tortellini was super yummy. I personally didn't like the chicken at all! It just made me feel like it was packaged bite size chicken pieces, gross tbh. Regardless of the chicken the food overall was yummy hence the 4 star. Always room for improvement. The bacon wrapped shrimp was pretty tasty the shrimps were like jumbo and the bacon was nicely cooked giving the shrimp a yummy bacon flavor. I do think it's a staple here in Rockford so a must try for neighbors and travelers.

    Read a couple reviews of this place so thought I'd give it a try. The place was like a gift from the god's. The food was incredible as was the service, and the atmosphere was the frosting on the cake. I enjoyed some of the best beef short ribs I ever put in my mouth, and the wife said her Salmon was cooked to perfection. A little loud but the quality of the food more than made up for the noise

    Mango refresher

    In town for business and someone local suggested this place for dinner. We decided to check it out. We were seated immediately upon entering, even though they were busy. The hostess was extremely nice and visited with us for a bit and made menu suggestions once she found out we weren't from the area and were first time customers. We had two waitresses, one in training. Both were great! They arrived to the table quickly for drink orders. We tried the mango refresher and the GreenFire margarita. Both were delicious. They brought out warm bread and butter for us while we sipped our drinks. For our main entree, we each created our own wood fire pizza. Mine had pepperoni, red peppers, and purple onion. The pizzas came out smoking hot and very quick, and were absolutely delicious! We would definitely dine here again when in the area.

    Bacon chicken alfredo with cavatappi pasta

    GreenFire offers something on the menu for everyone. We ordered the house salads, pasta and a gluten free pizza. Kenzie our server is friendly and attentive. She checked back in on us occasionally to see if we needed anything for our meals. We sat off in the dining area by the bar which was nice and you could have a conversation without other tables hearing your conversation. Safe room for dessert or take one home!!

    Tiramisu

    First time visit for us. Wasn't sure what to expect. The atmosphere is nice and it's a large place. For sure make reservations on a Saturday evening if going after 6:30. We order the chicken tortellini Alfredo , the pasta bolognese and the bacon wrapped shrimp for an app. It was all outstanding. I don't usually eat red pasta other than my own, but this Bolognese was fantastic. The chicken tortellini Alfredo had such a good flavor and the portions on both of these were huge. They could've been shared between two people. We also got a basket of fresh baked, sliced bread with homemade butter. the shrimp bacon wrapped sitting on a mango sauce was grilled to perfection, my only suggestion with the shrimp for the Price,for two people make it six shrimp . fives an odd number and for dessert I did their homemade baked tiramisu, and my husband did their chocolate cake which again were very good. Our server Maria was attentive but not annoying and the food came very quickly would recommend this place 10 out of 10.

    Salmon!

    Gullotta's is a little walk in/take out pizza joint(cash only). I've driven past it a million…read moretimes. We tried it a few weeks ago for the first time and my husband and son swear that this is the best pizza in town!! We went back again last night and had the same results! First time I had the Italian beef and it was flavorful and juicy but the bread... it was crusty and flaky on the outside and fluffy yet dense on the inside. The absolute perfect bread for a juicy sandwich. We also had the lasagna(which I believe is only available on the weekends) and it was fantastic as well. His Grandma's sauce is splendid('Mamma Gulotta's' sold at Woodman's). To top it all off, Nick Gulotta; the owner, chef, order taker, carry out worker(he does it all himself!!!), is just about the nicest person I have ever met. I know some very kind/caring people, but Nick takes the cake. I just can't believe how long it's taken us to try it but am so glad we finally did! Thank you, Nick!! We will keep on coming back as long as you're willing to make us pizza!!

Standing there was a silhouette of a man. We were wondering if they were open since we did not call ahead, but the hours stated open until Ten. To our surprise, the front door was locked, but then the gentleman of Zah Heaven opens the door and said how may I help you. Even though he started to call it quits after an unbelievably long day and evening at work, he open the door, turned on the lights, took our order and is making our pizza! This alone is a FIVE-STAR review!
