    House bread sticks
    ErinaShaye H.

    Great food and family friendly atmosphere! Hubby rates food 6.5/7 out of 10. Our kiddos enjoyed the pizza and my spaghetti and meatballs! They don't skip out in the cheese here which was awesome! The pizza was delicious, house bread sticks were a delight and my spaghetti was mostly gone by the end of our stay (would've been devoured if we had not been so full!)The main dining room was clean and pretty with floral decorations. Bathrooms were nice and clean, and a huge plus is there was a changing room n the women's bathroom!! (May not seem like a big deal to some but it is to this mama!) service was quick, welcoming and friendly! Our waitress even boxed our leftover pizza for us! We will be coming back again!

    Pepperoni and Mushroom pizza

    Friendly service and excellent food.I ordered a 14" Mushroom and Pepperoni pizza and it was out of this world! Dough and sauces are made in house and it comes through in the taste. Buttery crust and the pizza sauce is fresh and flavorful. I sat at the bar where everyone from the staff to the patrons were very welcoming. This is my new go to Italian restaurant when I'm in town.

    Spaghetti and meatballs and breadsticks with cheese

    When out of town we look for busy parking lots... usually means good food.. and it was. Adorable place, Bailey our waitress was amazing even though she had her hands full taking care of the whole place. If we ever venture back to Luling... we will stop again.

    Odered takeout and had to wait 15 minutes past the pick up time. "THE Gladiator" was a complete mess. The bottom was very soggy, which is a first.

    Cheesesteak Pizza
    Charles T.

    Okay so if you're used to NYC or NJ pizza, this isn't it. Get that out of the way first and foremost. Now that you've done that...this place is really good. On this trip we got the loaded cheese sticks, cheesesteak pizza, and the taste of Italy pizza The cheese sticks were good. Basically like a smaller pizza unsauced topped with cheese, bacon, and jalapeno with sauce on the side. It was a nice combo and they were crispy. The cheesesteak pizza was very good. Huge pie and even though the dough is not like the city at all, I still really enjoy it. It's not like the difference between NYC pizza to Chicago or anything that drastic...it's just different. A ton of cheesesteak meat and other toppings. The Tasty of Italy also had really good flavor. There were A LOT of sun dried tomatoes on this one. I know many people who would be thrilled about that, I took probably half of them off. Still a very good pie. We have been back since, i'll write an update soon. Got some different things that time around.

    Pepperoni Roll
    Lucas G.

    I've never eaten indoors because we always pass as we're on our way elsewhere. My brother often orders pizzas and these pepperoni roll things. They're pretty good! I don't recall the pizza much but the pepperoni roll (pictured) I enjoyed! $17 for 2 of them. I would like to stop by and dine in one day to see what it's like. They tell us 25 minute wait for our to go order but was there in less than 15 minutes and picked our order up right away.

    Eggplant Medallion
    Chandler D.

    Alright guys, this is the pizza I have been dreaming about ever since... and no I am never this dramatic about pizza haha it was just that good! This is from Mariano's pizza in Luling and it certainly is worth the stop if you are around. This is the Florenza pizza with alfredo sauce, spinach, artichoke hearts, and feta with added shrimp! And boy was it filling! The crust was, in my opinion, perfectly cooked and loaded with topping and garlicky buttery shrimp Enough about the pizza I also got a dirty martini which was very strong! According to the people at the bar, all their drinks are strong lol. The eggplant medallion was a great appetizer but the eggplant were tough. Ohh and all this was $26!! Yea it was a great meal. Will be back!

    Right off hwy 90 is this jewel of a restaurant! On our visit there was plenty of parking, no wait getting a table and we were able to order within minutes of being seated. We started with the Meatball Bake & Stuffed Mushroom Appetizers. Both were delivered to the table piping hot and were delicious and savory in every way! For entrees we shared the Chicken Parmesan Calzone and a Shrimp Florentine Wrap. Both were also brought to us smoking hot from the oven! The wrap was actually two wraps which made it perfect for sharing and the Calzone was huge.. All the food here was surprisingly authored Italian with large portions that left us satisfied. I highly recommend Mariano's Italian Eatery! Oh forgot to mention, they have two big picnic tables for outside seating!

Everything we ordered was absolutely incredible: 5 Stars - Crab Dip 5 Stars - Stuffed Artichoke 5 Stars - Artichoke Spinach Dip 5 Stars- Spaghetti & Meatballs - These meatballs are HUGE (1 lb each!) and taste just like Nonna's homemade Sicilian meatballs. Ted never orders meatballs at restaurants, but these were AMAZING. 5 Stars - Shrimp & Crab Ravioli - Next level delicious. 5 Stars - Chicken Parmesan - Perfect with angel hair pasta and homemade red sauce. 5 Stars - Lasagna - Rich, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. And the cannolis... WOW. Fresh, homemade, and the BEST we've ever had. Our waiter was friendly, knowledgeable, and on point all night. Service was top notch from start to finish. The atmosphere has a cool speakeasy vibe, and they even have a beautiful upstairs space for weddings, parties, and events. 5 We've eaten a lot of the menu here and have NEVER had a bad meal.

We had a large party and were sat in the back room which happened to be infested with flies topped off with flouresent lighting and no music. The flies were so bad that the container of red peper flakes had about 50 flies swarming inside to point where my 2yr old pointed it out and said "Ewwww bugs!!" We told the waiter of the problem and he said they knew about it and spray once a week but essentially it is what it is. No visit from the manager or anything to make the situation right. I was probably one of the only people who truly enjoyed my meal. Everyone else mentioned the food quality or taste not being the same... or they had flies in their food. The new bathrooms only have 1 stall which is quite a downgrade from the last location. Our server was very nice overall though. Wont be back.

The burrata comes out: dreadful, awful, call the Vatican levels of bad. The pesto was the culprit, I know store bought vs house made pesto and this store bought stuff needs to be banished from the establishment. Tasted soapy and overpowered any flavor from the burrata. Then the entrees: the Italian flatbread was pretty good, after I panicked making sure pesto wasn't on it (it wasn't) I really enjoyed the charcuterie characters of this. Then my date tried her chicken parm and said "you have to try this". I take a bite expecting horror; I'm proven wildly wrong. That chicken Parmesan is the greatest in the city limits. I may not hear from the date again, but Sophie's heard from me again. I got their chicken parm once again less than a week later and they proved that lightning can strike twice. So let's unpack Sophie's. And Italian/seafood joint - their specialty? THEY KNOW HOW TO FRY. Their red gravy is pretty solid too. I think they should sway one way or the other, focus on what they are experts at, and make a massive name for themselves perfecting these dishes they are already great at. And please, throw out the pesto. Sophie's SQUEAKS by into 4 star with a 7.95/10. TAKE WHAT YALL ARE GOOD AT AND IMPROVE. I've been back already, I'll be back again. Cheers!

Even at 6:00 on a Thursday evening it was nice to see quite a few tables occupied but it wasn't packed thankfully. The bar seats were mostly occupied with what looked like regulars so that's always a good sign too. We were seated at a table near the bar and so the bartender was also our waitress. She was also waiting on other tables in the area and for that reason I think she was a bit overextended. She was attentive but always rushing and really no personal service to speak of. We never did get bread plates and didn't have an opportunity to ask for any unfortunately. The breadsticks were brought out first, way before the meal, and weren't anything special. We each ate half of one and no more. My dinner came with a salad so that came out first. Tasty and fresh, and just an everyday side salad. Our meals arrived and at first glance, there just wasn't anything special about them. I'm not sure what I was expecting really, except with the price point I thought there would be a nicer presentation. The eggplant parmesan was cooked nicely but we were never offered any cheese and for lack of a better description, it was like something I would throw together at home, not a restaurant meal. My friend's food did not look appetizing on the plate, again, like a home cooked meal and not restaurant quality. The potato had been in the warming oven for a while it seemed, not fluffy any longer and the salmon was way overcooked and dry. I won't be giving this spot another go. Some folks here seem to like it but it's just not the quality I look for when dining out.
