Osteria Sola gave our family an experience we will never forget…read more We held my mother's repast there, and from the very beginning, Massimo Sola could not have been more gracious, accommodating, or thoughtful. This was obviously an emotional day for our family, but he and his team created exactly the right atmosphere: elegant and classy, but still warm, comfortable, and family-centered. Our group of 32 guests was able to relax, talk, laugh, remember my mother, and truly enjoy being together. The food was outstanding from start to finish. This is authentic Italian cuisine prepared with real care. Every dish was flavorful, beautifully presented, and memorable. There was not a single mediocre item served. The short ribs and branzino were particular standouts, but honestly, everything was excellent. The service was just as impressive as the food. The staff was warm, attentive, and genuinely hospitable. When we went through all the bread, they went across the street to a local bakery to get more. When we were short on white wine, they helped procure additional bottles. At the end of the meal, Massimo even gave us a complimentary bottle of champagne to take home as a thank you. Those kinds of gestures say a lot about the heart of a restaurant. Every person in our group raved about the experience. Osteria Sola is a hidden gem right in the middle of town, and more people need to discover it. We are deeply grateful to Massimo and his team for helping us honor my mother with such a beautiful meal and such genuine hospitality.

Yes, it's a mall kiosk. Yes, there are tons of other good - arguably better - options all around…read moreit. But don't ignore this tiny stall. I was initially intrigued when I saw the pasta machine in their glassed off prep space. Freshly made pasta is gold in my belly, and I wasn't about to walk by it too quickly, even if it was in a food court. The pasta machine was steadily pumping out fresh noodles that got measured and portioned into large cups, ready to become the next order. It can be turned into either a bolognese or a alfredo dish, but most are here to order, eat, or simply fix their hungry eyes on the preparation of the alfredo. What they do here is boil the fresh pasta and dump it straight into a hollowed out cheesewheel, along with some ladles of fresh alfredo sauce. The smells that come up from this area when that slurpy, cheesy goodness is being tossed around is remarkably savory and irresistable. So, of course, we ordered one. Protein toppings are available for an added charge, and we went with the chicken. This comes finely shredded, which is now the only way I want chicken in my pasta. The shreds got distributed all throughout the pasta, ensuring good portions of meat in most forkfuls. I had a feeling this would be very, very good even before I sat down to try them for the first time. While I was watching my order being prepared, a woman stopped by with her elder mom, having presumably just finished her own first order. "It was excellent," she told the guys behind the counter. "Really authentic." He replied in Italian, and they proceeded to go back and forth in rapid Italian. So if you decide to come, rest assured - your Italian food is being prepared by real Italians.

I haven't written a review in a good amount of years now but this place made me want to. I saw the…read moreonly other review and it sounded exceptional for what it was and I was searching DoorDash I stumbled upon it. Let's start with the pasta, it tasted fresh and delicious, I got a fettuccini Alfredo with chicken and it was loaded with chicken, the chicken was well seasoned and didn't taste like something a lot of restaurants give you out of a bag, even the higher end ones at times. The Alfredo sauce was also good and didn't taste like something out of a jar. Overall this was really good and I would try it again, DoorDash got to me and they took forever between rush hour, mall traffic and being in the mall in general I have to factor those in and only wish it had gotten to me a bit hotter.

Most of the staff was very friendly and welcoming, especially the manager. We arrived about two hours before closing and asked if we could sit at the bar to watch the next soccer match after the hostess told us there were no available tables. What was confusing was that the same tables that were empty when we arrived remained empty the entire time and were still vacant when we left as the restaurant closed. Overall, the food and most of the staff were enjoyable, but the experience at the front of the house could definitely be improved.

I had been wanting to try the Oxtail pizza for a while when I used to pass the Edgewater location…read moreso I traveled to Englewood. I ordered the oxtail pizza and it was delicious!!! The crust is thin with a sesame sprinkled crust and it was so good that I even ate every single bite of it, which is unusual for me. The oxtail was so flavorful and rich with the cheeses (mozzerella, Parmesan and goat cheese), meat, hot honey and spinach. The ladies asked if I wanted cilantro on top, which was the perfect add of even more flavor. They were so sweet and welcoming. Parking in downtown Englewood can be tough but I took the side street behind the row of stores and found the back entrance to Wahizza. I'm not sure if that's allowed but it made the pizza pick up a very quick and convenient experience. I plan on eating in next time bc the inside was so cute and looked very comfortable. I am definitely coming back.

I noticed that Mavi's has installed wall mounted televisions, which scroll menu items, specials, and upcoming events. This was my first time ordering from their brunch menu and it was outstanding. My Western Omelette (ham, onion, mushroom, pepper, egg, potato, arugula, almond slices) was an excellent choice. Every ingredient was fresh, the eggs were fluffy, and it was accompanied by a side salad and two large slices of multigrain bread. The other items were the artistically presented Avocado Salad (Avocado, tomato, onion crisp, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, arugula mixed salad, almond slices with balsamic glaze and sesame dressing) and the Toowoomba Shrimp Donkatsu (crispy, golden-fried cutlet smothered in a rich, creamy, and spicy Cajun Toowoomba sauce with shrimp, onions, and mushrooms, served alongside a half-portion of pasta). This dish is succulent, creamy, pleasantly spicy, and thoroughly enjoyed. I'll never dine at Mavi's without ordering a Kimchi Bulgogi Pizza (tomato sauce, mozzarella, onion, mushroom, bulgogi beef, kimchi, scallion, spicy mayo drizzle). Not only does every ingredient dance in your mouth, but the soft beet infused crust makes this one of the best pizzas I've happily savored.

From the moment we walked in, we were treated like family. The hospitality was genuinely exceptional, and Freddy, Jackie and the rest of the staff went above and beyond to make sure everyone in our group felt welcome and comfortable. They paid extra attention to gluten-free dining given a few of our guests could not eat gluten. Rather than simply pointing out a few menu options, they took the time to understand our needs and were incredibly accommodating. They even modified all the party menu items to be gluten-free just to ensure there was no risk of cross-contamination and that everyone could enjoy the meal safely. The level of service, kindness, and attention to detail was outstanding. You could tell they genuinely wanted us to have a great experience, and they succeeded in every way. Amazing food, incredible service, and a team that truly goes the extra mile. We can't wait to come back and highly recommend this restaurant! Thank you for making this an amazing party!

Martino's is nothing less than a little piece of Italy right here in our own back yard. Family owned and operated for the past 55 years by the Martino family, it's hospitality and delicious array of numerous Italian-American comfort food is hard to surpass. I lost track of how many years we have been making this pilgrimage to this awesome old-school, charming, little corner store/restaurant, but it always something we all look forward to. We have to pay special thanks to Concetta, the matriarch of the Martino family, and daughters Lina and Connie for always going out of their way to host our get together. Martino's Grocery is a BYOB, all you can eat feast; and if you leave hungry, shame on you. I've said it in the past and I'll say it again, being at Martino's is reminiscent of my old time Italian family get togethers back in the 50's and 60's. How can you beat a long afternoon with longtime friends, than with stupid jokes, busting chops, and lots of lively conversation. If you want a taste of Italian-American tradition, make sure you give them a visit. You won't be disappointed. 01/17/2025
