    pizza, pasta, garlic bread and fries

    One of my local favorites with proportional dishes at an amazing cost! Fast and friendly service! I recommend the Fettuccini Alfredo pasta with broccoli, Oven roasted Italian cheese steak sub, fried mushrooms and of course the pizza! They usually run great deals on their pizza's, just ask! Great place for a casual meeting. Go check them out!

    Raphael 's is awesome! Good pizza, very good Gyros, great Tzatziki sauce. Friendly and quick service.

    Went to Raphael's last night and dined in. We ordered a large pepperoni pizza, it's what we usually get when we go to Raphael's. The pizza served here reminds me of "Greek-style" pizza that we use to consume back in CT. Somewhat doughy, a bit greasy, but very tasty. I'm sure some people wouldn't like this type of pizza, but we feel it's the best in Fayetteville (which isn't a great endorsement, the pizza competition is very limited, and not very good at all). We have ordered off the menu in the past -- chicken parmigiana to be exact. It was frozen chicken fingers with tomato sauce and cheese plopped on top. Awful. My suggestion is to stick with the pizza. Also, this place never seems busy, even on a Friday or Saturday night. Think they do more delivery service then dining in. So eating in the restaurant is a pleasant experience, nice & quiet, just the way I like it.

    Mediocre food. More like Italian 'style' rather than actual Italian. Over all tasty. Buffet quality Italian. Was really expecting more but such is life...

    Personal pan pizza w/ pepperoni.

    Excellent pizza but the cannelloni is by far the best! Call ahead for pick up and you won't be disappointed!

    This place was great when I first moved here back in 2021. I recommend they do a total renovation and lower their prices do better.

    We buy food from Raphael's about once a week. Never been disappointed. Hot wings (extra crispy) are excellent.

    First and foremost, I want to like Stevarino's I do want to spend money in my chosen hometown, but…read moreit's often difficult. We waited to give Stevarino's a second opportunity. Because the last one did not go well either. Even accounting for the slower life we are pursuing in our retirement community of choice, we don't have one hour and four minutes to wait on a pizza. Or 54 minutes to wait on a simple spaghetti and meatballs. Or seven minutes standing at the front desk with no one coming by to see you at the "please wait to be seated" podium. I'm older now, I don't have that kind of time to waste. The food was "OK". The spaghetti and meatballs (substituted sausage, maybe this required a trip to Italy") was lukewarm. It tasted OK. My pizza was basically loose and drippy in the center. Not from cheese, from being poorly cooked. Again, there was nothing special about the taste. Lastly, I had to send the first pizza serving tray back to be cleaned. I don't know if it's too little staff, too little caring, too little organization, too little training. It all adds up to a memorable experience for the wrong reasons. It is a very nice place when it comes to decor and such. Even a nice big lighted Christmas display for folks to use as a photo backdrop. Hopefully the ownership will take this review to heart and not blame it on "being too busy" (that sure wasn't the case" or "fussy clientele". It sure wasn't that either.

    If restaurants had a last call, we apparently slid into Mama Mila's at the right moment…read more We arrived just before Mama Mila herself had to cut off the line because they had such a rush they almost sold out!!! I understand why....we managed to score one of the best meals we've had in Columbia. The pasta was absolutely incredible....fresh, flavorful, and the kind of food that makes you stop talking for a minute because everyone is too busy eating. Thinking we'd show some restraint, we ordered dessert to go. That plan lasted about as long as our leftovers. The peanut butter pie was spectacular, and the carrot cake may have ruined all future carrot cakes. The food was fantastic, but what really stood out was the atmosphere. At one point Mama Mila stood on a chair and announced instructions tot the whole restaurant and expressed her love and that every patron was "family". You can tell this place is loved by the community, and seeing Mama Mila personally managing the crowd only added to the charm. Pro tip: Get there early. We barely made the cutoff and almost missed out on a meal we'll be talking about for a long time. Five stars. We'd gladly race the clock again.

    Visiting Tennessee for the second time, my cousin insisted I try this Italian restaurant. Having…read moreeaten authentic Italian food in Southern Italy, I was a little skeptical at first even though the Yelp photos looked amazing. I came in hoping to like it, but I ended up loving it. I'm usually not a big fan of American Italian food because I can often taste that metallic flavor that sometimes comes from canned tomato sauce. The Nunzio, however, was absolutely incredible. The sauce was rich, fresh, and packed with flavor! honestly perfection! One of my favorite parts of the experience was getting to chat with the owner, Mila. She was so kind and welcoming, and you can immediately tell she's one of those genuinely good people who puts her heart into what she does. Great food, great atmosphere, and wonderful people. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Tennessee!
