We decided to try the whipped burrata, meatballs, steak skewers, Caesar salad, and a bianco pizza. Everything was amazing! They have so many good choices that it was difficult to decide.

It was so thin on toppings I could see the sauce and the crust through the toppings. When I opened the box, some of it was stuck to the lid and the lid was closed with part of the pizza stuck in it. The owner told me they can't put that much on a what he called a 6 in. The lady on the phone said it was a 7 in. I bought the same kind from Pizza Cottage, and it was packed with toppings I could not see through it. I even took pictures of it to show people the difference. The owner never offered my money back or a replacement, which I wouldn't except a replacement if he did. But it would have been nice if they would have at least acknowledged it. I guess the person making it did a bad job or having a bad day, and they want to say it's my problem. Their owning up to what was obviously a bad pizza for a first-time customer was not very professional.

This is one of our go to "splurge" pizza nights! We love Dirkos ever since they came into Howard…read moreseveral years ago. However before they opened a location in Howard the Dirkos of mt Vernon would meet local residents at the Troyes for their pizza exchange which I found VERY helpful thoughtful. We have always had a great pie or Stromboli. IF on a rare occasion there was a mix up staff has been very helpful with finding a suitable resolution. They also sell their dough making "home made" pizza and Stromboli nights a breeze!

What a train wreck…read more.. I have given very few 2 star ratings in all the reviews I have done over the last 10 years but this was bad. We wanted to try something new in Heath and Thiango's popped up so we tried it. The interior is nicely decorated but it still had some Christmas decorations up in mid February so that should have been a clue that something was a little off. When we got seated and settled in we realized that it was really cold interior restaurant - like 60 degrees cold. The waiter, Shawn, was horrible forgot our drink order - 3 times. He suggested having the seafood so that is what we had. I had the seafood platter which was OK - the salmon was over cooked and they forgot to put the crab in it. When I pointed out the lack of crab they told me they would get me a side of shrimp? Wifie had the salmon platter with linguini covered in rose vodka sauce which the salmon was over cooked but the rose vodka sauce was really good. It took forever to get the food out and the waiter stopped by so infrequently that our drinks spent more time empty than one could imagine. They offered to bring us more bread but they ran out. The bread was good also. This would have been a great place to dine if it was not for the poor service, the overcooked fish, the cold temperature of the resturant, the forgotten crab, the empty drinks, this lack of bread, ...

Our experience was great! Short review summary: Kids eat free on Sunday made the process awesome,…read moreservice was very good, and food was pretty good. Decor was fine despite the remnants of the old brand still there. More info, for those that care: In my type A personality I noticed a lot. Sure there is still decor that needs attention, like Christmas lights still up (must be a choice on purpose), a few paint locations need touched up, and yes, three surfboards still mounted to the ceiling from the old restaurant, but it didn't change the ambiance much. Music was nice (smooth jazz was playing) and most of all, food was pretty good and price was great. The free appetizer bread was really good, my Chicken Marsala was good, and my wife's Chicken Alfredo was really good. The kids spaghetti and Alfredo cheese ravioli were good too. Nothing tasted like Olive Garden, it had a unique local taste (BTW if you didn't know OG pasta is just bagged and boiled- as someone who works in the kitchen, they'll tell you). Overall the food was cooked well, sauce tastes handmade - salad dressing on my side salad definitely did (balsamic) and despite there being some generic things like iceberg lettuce and generic mushrooms, it tasted pretty good. I think what made it the best was our service, which was outstanding. The place was a ghost town, there was one other party there and us. So we should have had great service. The main host/waiter was great though despite the good timing (he welcomed us and responded to anything we needed quickly). Finally, the price was awesome! We got 2 adult meals and 2 kids meals, with kids eat free on Sundays, so our bill was $43 before tip. Overall we hope to go back and try another time. If you haven't been recently, you should definitely go back and try it again!

The decor is absolutely lovely, especially the chandeliers and wall coverings. The tables had white linens and the booths were very comfortable, elegant and not old looking. The hostess who seated us had worked there for 21 years. She was very professional and proud of the restaurant. Our server, Terrence, was very pleasant and efficient and made us feel welcome. I ordered the lamb burger and fries. The burger was moist and delicious, the fries yummy. Everyone at our table enjoyed their lunch. Someone who I assume was the manager, stopped by to see how we were enjoying our meal. We all enjoyed the experience and are looking for reasons to drive back to Mt Vernon to visit the Alcove. What a find!

The waitress was prompt and our order came out perfectly. I started with a cucumber lemonade (with alcohol) drink and it was yummy as all get out. I'd have loved to have one or three more but didn't want the hangover! I ordered the 8" veggie pizza and minused the peppers. I usually don't order veggie simply due to the amount of liquid that ends up sogging up the crust. I suspected today's would be good and it was! I had enough left over to bring home for a snack during movie night. Hubs had the meat lovers and he enjoyed it and a draft beer. We're not local but we'd come back if we were.

The local interwebs suggested that this place might be worth the trip…read more The local interwebs were surprisingly accurate and if anything, understated. We arrived at 4:55 PM recognizing that we didn't have a reservation... I mean, what restaurant is packed right away when it opens? As it turns out this place is packed as soon as the doors open. They seat 40 on the high end according to the owner. We know this because he stopped to check on our experience, TWICE, while managing a full house. The food was superb. The price was fair, and given the quality, maybe even (dare I say?) a great value overall. For a red and white checkered tablecloth Italian dining experience, these guys are RIGHT on the money, RIGHT on the service, RIGHT on the quality. You can spend more but you won't get more. This place is worth every bit of five stars.
