Euro burger
Jackson H.

Best calzone and burger place I've ever been to. I stumbled upon this spot on a whim while heading to the local Wells Fargo. As I pulled in, I noticed the Mountain Dew umbrellas--a classic sign of a great hole-in-the-wall joint. We spoke with Nora (the owner), and she instantly felt like family--just like talking to my grandmother. Everything is made from scratch, and wow, it's fantastic. I started with two slices of pizza, which were great, but then I tried the calzone and the Euro burger... holy cow! If you're looking for a well-priced meal and want to support a local business with a rich history, this place is a must. Make sure to say hi to Nora at the front! (Get Philly calzone if it's your first time)

I love this cute family owned spot. The restaurant is small but the food is amazing. A day later and I'm still thinking about the pizza. I love a good thin crust. The service was great too. Keep in mind they don't take dine in 1hour before closing.

Mama Mia!

Very nice! Of course they serve a good pizza pie! Yes you can get a pizza pie anywhere but you will get authentic New York style pie here. I worth the drive and even the music will put you a New York State of mind. So i spreading the News that Primavera Pizza is the hidden gem of Italian cuisine. That's right I said it and am enjoying my little taste of Italy. God Bless all my fellow foodies.

This is one of the best restaurants I've been. Everything…read morewas good. I got there without a reservation and originally told me it'd take 90 minutes but found me a table in 30. The appetizer fresh mozzarella was incredible. The pasta was out of this world. The drinks... I had a non alcoholic one but added a shot of rum.. incredible Service was outstanding. Really an amazing place in every way. Would take my partner, wife, parents and everyone here.

I've been to Little Mama's at the SP location a few times, but didn't know there was a sister…read morelocation at Providence Road, so I made a reservation via Open Table (with specific request for a booth). We arrived early for our RSVP @ 5:30 pm...and there were many tables and booths open (possibly up to 5 booths open, in fact!). Well, this girl behind the hostess stand didn't even bother to read the reservations details, and set us off to these high-top tables. I told the hostess that we requested a booth. She then took us back up front to that girl behind the stand...who then seemingly purposefully put us in their back porch area (?!?) with these big, rowdy groups and many children...right by the doorway, and not a booth either (but a half booth)! It was possibly the worst seating in the entire restaurant. After this second time, I went back up front again, and told the 2 hostesses that I saw many booths in the restaurant, and I didn't understand the difficulty-resistance!! Frankly, I was livid. Truly, that girl was just clueless, to say the least! Again, I can't believe that despite plenty of full booths available, she sent us out to their porch area, with this half-booth seating, RIGHT By THE DOORWAY. (I actually mentioned NOT by the doorway in my reservations details!) I truly thought she was deliberately sending us out there in retaliation. BTW, this girl didn't even give us any eye contact...and no proper greetings when we entered the restaurant either. We stood looking at her for a good minute before she even acknowledged us. Her incredibly rude hostessing nearly made us walk out. Absolutely terrible hostess service...the WORST! Once we were finally seated in a booth, we managed to calm down, and things started to take a positive turn. For one, our waitress (forgot her name) was great...cheerful and attentive all throughout. Also, I have to commend the house Manager, who must have noticed the re-seating. He stopped by to check on us and get all the details. I also noticed that this Manager was really on top of things...as he hustled around the restaurant the entire time we were there. I don't think he sat down even once! So it seemed the only incompetent staff member there was their Hostess (not the one that walked us to the table, but the one behind the stand)...definitely not the wait staff, or the Manager. I actually studied their menu beforehand...and loved what they had to offer. As we began to order, we also realized that they gave us the option to choose the type of pasta and the sauce as well. Kudos to that! We decided to share everything, and ordered: Mama's Crabcake, Combo Parmesian (Eggplant plus Chicken Parm, plus Pasta of choice...with a sauce of choice!), and this amazing special of the night, Short Rib Pasta. We ended our meal with their Gelato...and they threw in the Cannoli (as peace offering, I guess?). Well, truly we thought all the dishes, including the desserts, were delish. We even enjoyed their complimentary bread...so good! Portions were huge too...so we managed to doggy bag some leftovers. I also tried their Manhattan Martini...and it was stellar. Very strong...exactly what I needed! Despite the worst possible intro to this restaurant, we ended up thoroughly enjoying the meal...and as mentioned, the rest of the staff made up for the incompetence of one. For that, I'll only deduct a star. It's a shame...because I would have easily dropped 5 stars for the foods and the service by our waitress and the Manager. Maybe next time?

Went there for the first time for some lunch with the family and let me tell y'all food and service…read morewas great we ordered some fried calamari ,the cheesy garlic beard for appetizers 10/10 for sure everything was cooking perfectly. That Cesar salad dressing was sooo good and the pizzaaaa oh yea lost definitely going back again and out waiter was kind as well and very attentive

Portofinos n the Arboretum (delivered)…read more Can I just say how much I love this place! I ordered veal piccata with linguine and a chicken franchise with fettuccine. Really great portion with the chicken, very tender and flavorful. The breading was excellent not too heavy beautifully seasoned. The veal is slightly firmer, great flavor, cooked good - wish it was a little bigger portion, but I understand veal cost more than chicken. Got salads and tried House and Caesar - very good My only suggestion -- I love pasta and fettuccine is my FAVORITE! I would suggest linguine for BOTH because it's smaller in size (slightly) so holds the flavors/sauce much better. You can get any pasta - but my personal opinion - should've gone with cappelini for both it would've held the sauce even better. Excellent flavors - I love lemon and capers! The pasta was cooked PERFECTLY! If anything? I wish the chicken francaise had more sauce because I know when I finish it tomorrow, it's gonna soak up even more and taste so good! Lastly? They give you the bread. Oh my God, you could put a chunk of butter on there or dip it in olive oil with Parmesan or you just eat it plain - so good!!!!
