I typically order ahead because if you order there, you will be waiting for about 10-20 mins but it's so worth it.

It is in the heart of EGR though so you can walk around for a bit while you wait for your pizza to be done.

Loved the place, reminds me of the old pizzeria in the Chicago hamlets. Family run I assume, I see the teenagers working hard behind their dad I think. All courteous, and service oriented. You can also dine in, again small but quaint. The thing that disturbs me is the previous reviews about not much toppings. Are you kidding me? Take a look at the pictures here. Pizzas were full of toppings! especially mushroom which is unusual, generally the caps and broken stems leftovers are used. Here, the mushrooms are intact, cap and stem, only higher end restaurants do this. So, you detractors... Send proof like I do. Here's the pics of what you get piping hot.

We've gotten plenty of takeout from Quarantino's over the years, but only recently stopped by to dine in. We were greeted right away and got to choose a nice booth by the window. The menu is concise and features their delicious Detroit style pizza. I was starving so we ended up ordering quite a bit to have leftovers - the kale Caesar salad, one of the weekly feature pizzas, and the Quarantino's deluxe. The salad is one of my favorites - it's made with curly kale and topped with crunchy kettle potato chips. It's always good and makes for great leftovers because it's so hearty. Our pizzas came out shortly after our salad was finished and they were delicious. Their crust is perfection - fluffy but chewy and crispy in the right places. I personally love their red sauce the most because it's savory, and not overly sweet. The toppings on the deluxe were plentiful and high quality. The special pizza rotates weekly(ish) and this one had 'nduja, ramp aioli, and shredded potato. Plus lots of cheese. Their specials are always inventive and sound so tasty. Our server was super fun and awesome to chat with. I really liked him, he brought such a big smile to my face. I am so glad we finally got to have the dine in experience at Quarantino's and we'll be back for their mid-week pizza, pasta, salad deal!

The place was packed full of people (a sign of a great restaurant) and while I sat and waited over fifteen minutes past my pickup time, I watched people come in, be told it will be a few minutes and then their receipt/order gets pulled and then taken to the back, like mine was. Almost as if they don't bother making the pizza until you show up? Anyway, we picked up our pizza and bread and headed out. I was surprised at the small box that contained both the pizza AND the bread; I got into the car and opened it and laughed. The pizza was small, the bread was small. I was surprised at how little food there was. Oh well! Lesson learned. We took it back to our hotel and fed the kids. The pizza looked delicious, but was just ok. The cheese bread looked amazing - and then I bit into it. Dill. Why is there dill on the cheese bread? Overall, it was an experience. Nothing terrible, nothing great. Note: finding parking for carry out is a challenge.

It's thin crust here. By the slice was about $2.50ish, but it's not a large NYC type slice, it's likely half that size. I tried 2 different slices, one had serrano green sauce on it with chicken, another had pepperoni and other meats. Overall the pizzas were okay. A bit on the dry side, flavor was okay, I was expecting more of a robust flavor profile but it was still okay - that's why we ended up at 3-stars. Nothing outta this world here but the pizzas overall (IMO) look more appetizing than they really are. They are not the best pizza in GR by any means, but I really do like the thin crust - - so you don't feel weighted down with extra bread. And I would entertain going back to get a whole pizza on their menu and give them another shot and see how that goes.

The concept was a pleasant surprise, it has more of a sports bar atmosphere than a traditional Italian restaurant, but they still offer a solid selection of pastas, pizzas, subs, and other comfort food favorites. They also have a full bar, making it a great place to catch a game. We started with the pepperoni rolls, and they were easily the highlight of the meal. The garlic butter and Parmesan on top made them absolutely irresistible, definitely a 10/10 appetizer. For my entrée, I ordered the fettuccine Alfredo with grilled chicken. The chicken was well-seasoned and had a nice crispy exterior that added some texture to the dish. The Alfredo itself was good, but fairly standard and nothing particularly memorable. The garlic bread was also solid and complemented the meal well. While this isn't the best Italian food I've ever had, it was satisfying, reasonably enjoyable, and exactly what I was looking for that evening. I'd happily come back, especially for the lively sports bar atmosphere and those pepperoni rolls.

Uccello's is a really big sports bar with a vocal following, many of whom have been eating here…read moresince middle school sporting events. This is their comfort food. I was curious to try Uccello's fare after all the chatter. The staff are enthusiastic, from greeting to service to checkout, knowledgeable about their menu, mindful of checking in during the meal, and friendly. The Meatball sub & U-fries combo was a hearty portion but I found the flavor and seasoning weirdly subdued, especially considering they have a vested interest in selling beverages. I would have thought it to be more tomato-forward and salty. My trip ended before I could do a return visit, but I'll be back in a few months and grab something else from the menu. There's definitely potential here.

The space is cozy and pretty large, with what looked to be a private area with a birthday party going on towards the back. Our server was really friendly and patient as we explored the menu, which features Sicilian items like pizza, pasta, and several starters. We wanted to try some appetizers so we ordered the cozze di mare (mussels) with white sauce, rotoli (eggplant rolls filled with Prosciutto di Parma, house-made tomato sauce and provolone cheese, baked then topped with basil), and a Caesar salad. The mussels and eggplant dish came out first and were delicious. I personally loved the eggplant rotoli the most - the eggplant was tender, the sauce was savory, and it was stuffed with cheese and prosciutto... yum! I would get this as a meal with a side of garlic bread for dipping. The mussels were nicely cooked and the sauce was subtle. The salad was crisp and fresh and I liked the different toppings (fresh tomatoes and sun dried tomatoes). The Caesar salad only comes in the large size, but it was good to share with the group. For dinner we shared a couple of pizzas - the bocce and a margherita. The freshly grated cheese over top was perfection - don't skip this! I loved all the toppings on the bocce (basically a version of a supreme pizza) but the pepperoni was my favorite with how crispy it got. The crust was missing a bit of flavor for me, but it was cooked well and not soggy. We were too stuffed for dessert but I'd come back for their cannoli or rotating cheesecake flavors! I want to try their pasta next also.
