    Primavera Chicken and Vegetables.
    Karen A.

    Nice location and large dining room. It has many noodle entrees to choose from great for a group dining. My entree Primavera Chicken and Vegetables was not made as stated on the menu it was supposed to be made with white wine balsamic vinegar. It was dark and looked and tasted like an Asian dish. I spoke to the server and she came back and told me the chef said it was made correctly. Before I left I spoke to someone in the staging area and said this wasn't made correctly and I think they clearly put aged Balsamic vinegar in a dish calling for White wine Balsamic. She just said OK no apologies or can I make something else for you? Pretty disappointed won't be going here again.

    Gluten free rice noodles with the primavera sauce + shrimp (mine) Spicy Cajun pasta + chicken (his)

    I was so surprised at this place!! I've seen them in a lot of cities but never thought to stop in due to my gluten and dairy allergies!! Y'all -- they have everything on the menu labeled with what can and cannot be made gluten free or vegan!! I got the primavera with gluten free rice noodles and it was FIRE!! Some of the yummiest sauce I've ever had! No dairy (they did bring me cheese in a side container despite having my order marked as a dairy allergy -- but it was on the side) Husband got the normal spicy cajun pasta w chicken and said he wanted to lick the plate!! Staff was nice and very quick!! The seating is pretty spread out and the music is bumpin! We will SO be back!!

    I am at the Yelp elite event. Everything I had was good. My favorite is the fettuccini Alfredo. The homemade ranch dressing was the bomb. Chicken Parmesan was really good as well. The salads were really good. The staff was excellent and the place is really nice inside, there is outside patio dining. The atmosphere is made nice by the music that is played. Listening to I'm every woman right now. Earlier they played a medley to Tina Turner.

    Mushroom ravioli

    I really love the food here and the atmosphere is good too! The chili maze soup is one of my favorites and the mushroom ravioli is always a good hit. They always take out or add stuff I want in my orders which is really nice.

    Kid's Alfredo with extra sauce.
    Krista M.

    The Kid's Alfredo was really good. We paid for the extra Alfredo, so that might have put it over the top and gave us a great dipping sauce for the Breadsticks that we ordered on the side. One of my kids is on a Creamy Tomato Soup kick. This one was very expensive and was heavy on the garlic. I'm going to try to salvage it with heavy cream tomorrow. That's not what you want to do with a $13 bowl of soup that you had delivered. The Triple Chocolate Cake looks great. It's being saved for tomorrow, so I can't comment on the taste.

    Mozzarella Cheese Bread
    Jada C.

    The quality of the food is not as good as I would have liked but it's still tasty enough to somewhat enjoy. The first thing I noticed when I walked in was how spacious the restaurant is. There weren't a lot of people inside and we didn't have to wait in line but we went on a Tuesday at 5pm. I like that once you order up front they have an open kitchen so you can watch them make your food. Service was very friendly. Lots of parking available around the restaurant and there's outdoor seating. Pricing is reasonable for portion size. The amount my husband got in his Chicken Parmesan was much heavier than my lobster ravioli. Probably wouldn't go back.

    Stuffed shells
    Whattajewell C.

    The food was tasty!! I got stuffed shells and my friend got Alfredo. It was good and piping hot too!! It was a bit pricey.

    Lobster Ravioli Specialty with Breadstick
    Jalynn M.

    First time going and really I wasn't impressed; but the meal was somewhat manageable I ordered the lobster ravioli with bread stick, it had too much cheese and not enough ravioli for $16. The ravioli was a bit tough could not taste the lobster a lot but the sauce was flavorful, at the least would definitely go back but for something else.

    Seriously, how sweet can you all be?

    Wait, Nothing But Noodles did a small gesture that made all of the difference for me tonight. I have not been feeling well, nor eating, but I randomly had a taste for my Spicy Cajun Pasta so I decided to order it even if I couldn't eat it once it got to me. I placed an order online for my little sister and myself and put a note in to make my food with love because I'm sick and this is all I want :(. My sister went to pick it up and spoke of how speedy, great and nice the staff was and how they gave her well wishes (thinking she was me). She dropped my order off to me and to my surprise there was a desert inside with a note saying, "We hope you feel better soon. With love from The Nothing But Noodles family." This has been an extremely rough few days medically (not covid related thank God) and I feel like I just received a huge hug from the Nothing But Noodles team. Something so small just put the biggest smile on my face and made my entire night. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your kindness did not go unnoticed. I thoroughly appreciate all of you! Btw, I ate a couple of bites of my pasta and it tastes amazing!

    Shanghai Noodles were very impressive (spicy/sweet with the peppers and pineapple)

If you know me, you know that if there's burrata on the menu, I'm ordering it. Bettola's is one of the most unique I've ever had. It's almost soupy, and it's scrumptious. The wine list is good, and they serve good cocktails. My friends all raved about the espresso martini. This is a great place for date night or to dine with friends and family. They have an option for everybody. Service is great, no frills. I find parking to be very easy in this area. Like Hot and Hot, you do have to walk through a different hallway to get to a bathroom, a little strange but fine. I love the option of outdoor seating, but the inside is a fantastic atmosphere, too.

Music was light and atmosphere was inviting. Staff was polite and attentive. We tried, the suggested, Mentone AL tomato salad to start.

For dinner we chose the pepperoni and filetto pizzas. They serve a classic Neapolitan style wood fired pizza. Pizza was a good personal size. Crisp crust with nice leopard spotting. Chewy inside with good gluten development. Middle was a little soggy, but typical for Neapolitan style. Toppings were fresh and flavorful. Chocolate Budino was light and fluffy with a hint of salt. The roasted hazelnuts gave it a nice crunch. The house made whipped creme was firm and smooth. Excellent meal! No complaints. Highly recommend.

We ordered the house wine, Caesar salad, spaghetti and meatballs, and the Garganelli with asparagus (plus added shrimp). Since it was such a beautiful day, we sat out on the patio, which I didn't even realize they had! The service was stellar, the food was delicious, and we left completely full. They also offer complimentary valet, which is always a nice bonus with downtown traffic and parking. We had a wonderful experience and will definitely be back!

    I've heard so many great things about Bottega--from the food to the top-tier customer service--so…read morewhen my friend was in town for a lawyers convention and suggested dinner, this was one of the first places I recommended. We were deciding between here and Lapeer, and she ultimately chose Bottega because of its reputation. We had reservations for 8:30 PM and weren't seated until around 8:40, which wasn't a huge issue. However, once seated, the service quickly became disappointing. Our waiter took our drink order, dropped off the drinks, and immediately walked away without asking if we wanted to order anything else. He eventually came back and asked us for our appetizers. While waiting, we noticed the table next to us receiving significantly more attentive service--frequent check-ins, questions about their food, and overall engagement--while our table was largely ignored. When our appetizer arrived, it was dropped off without any follow-up. It's like he had the zoomies. He never came back to ask how everything was, which is something I'm not used to. At 9:29 PM, I stopped the waiter to ask if they were about to close (closing time was 9:30). That's when I realized we were never even asked if we wanted to order entrees. His response was that he thought we were "enjoying our food and we could still order if we wanted to ," but from the energy, we chose to go someplace else. To be clear, the food was excellent--I'd give it a 9/10. Unfortunately, the service was a 3/10. I considered whether timing played a role, but since the table next to us received attentive service during the same time frame, it was hard to overlook the contrast. I'm not sure if it was because we were black and the only minority there, but the difference in treatment stood out. I live not too far and truly wanted this to be a go-to spot, but the experience didn't reflect the "one of the best restaurants with the best customer service in Birmingham" reputation I've heard so much about. I might consider returning to the café side to see if the experience is different, but as of now, I left feeling underwhelmed. I'm sharing this in hopes that it helps improve consistency in service, because the decor was beautiful and the food itself is worth it. We had the Parmesan soufflé which was delicious and very comforting, so were the oysters.

    This place is my type of vibe!…read more Trattoria ZaZa has been on my list of places to stop at for several years. Parking often deters me but after attending the Italian Festival earlier that day, we had a craving for pizza. I ordered the combo that includes 2 slices of the day with salad. Since I wasn't overly hungry, I offered him one of my slices and he added another slice to the order. We paid and were given a number to place on our selected table. Jazzy music played in the background while we waited on our order to be brought to the table. The natural lighting, while beautiful, made it a little warm in the building. One of the waitresses propped the door open that leads to the restrooms (which are in the hallway near the elevators) in order for cooler air to make its way in. That wasn't a deal breaker, but do be aware of that on warmer days. Our food came out after a short wait. I kept my 3 cheese slice, and gave him the pepperoni one. The cheeses were very rich and the salad, while simple without the frills, was perfectly sized and drizzled with a balsamic vinaigrette that was just the right amount. While I enjoyed my meal very much and the ambiance, he wasn't overly impressed with his. He didn't want the fresh herbs on his slices and knocked all of them off, lol. He's a simple guy with simple taste. This is definitely a place I will be revisiting with one of my girlfriends and not him next time as he didn't appreciate what ZaZA had to offer. Everyone we encountered was helpful and courteous. Our food, including drinks, was around $28, which was not bad for a cute, eclectic spot downtown. If you haven't been, make sure to try them out soon. Just don't wait as long as I did to visit!
