We ordered the shrimp and crab dish along with Mama's Ravioli with vodka sauce -- both were delicious, cooked well, and full of flavor. The vodka sauce on the ravioli was awesome! We also enjoyed the unlimited lemonade. Ended the meal on a high note with the strawberry cake, which was the perfect sweet finish. Our server Addiy was fantastic -- attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience even better. Will definitely be back! ---

Upon entering, you walk into a full service, but small, market specializing in Italian grocery items. The ambiance was homey, perfect for a small neighborhood specialty grocery. They also have a deli counter, meat counter, hot food bar, and Italian dessert section, to name a few. They also have pizza kits to take home to make your own and pasta and other food items prepared and ready to go in the refrigerated section. The pizza counter is located in the rear of the store. They also sold other items such as sandwiches. We were greeted by a pleasant young man and ordered our Italian sausage and pepperoni pizza. Scittino's has seating to enjoy your pizza in store or outside. Our order was ready in no time. We opted to take ours to go. The pizza was fresh with a great yeasty crust. The toppings were good and ample, the tomatoes sauce fresh with just enough cheese to pull it all together. The pizza was really good. All in all, another pizza spot to add to our growing list in the area.

I can see why some people don't like the dough and why some don't care. Something about the dough is too cheap now. I was too full to try to order a Stromboli. The salad and small salad with pizza slice combo is a great option. I also like the smoothie options and how you can add spinach to them too. There used to be one of these near me and I am sad it didn't survive because they were one of my faves and held their own. Maybe I'll stop by for a Stromboli once next time around.

The Indian spices were so subtle, so much so that if they were in the sauce, they didn't really stand out. I've had Indian-style pizza from other spots, such as Bella India in Beltsville that delivered a much bolder, more authentic flavor. I had high hopes and wanted to love this place, but it didn't quite meet my expectations, and I don't see myself returning.

It literally looked like frozen pizza, maybe worse. My family would go here often. The last time we went was January 2025 and it was delicious. we just went today (December 2025) and complete 360 in the food and quality, just horrible. I'm not sure if management changed or their previous chef left, but something is not adding up. Never going back. Also, look at my pictures and compare it to what is on their menu. It was like a "what I thought I ordered vs. what I got situation."

The service was fast and polite. The pizzas looked delicious. The newyork style pizza was an 7/10. The tenders were okay, the bbq sauce was bomb. It would be nice to use to better quality of tenders. The tenders didn't have much chicken taste to them. I can't say enough how lovely the staff was. They did not play around. They checked back on us often to see if we needed anything else. I'm coming back for sure!

I ordered a Cheesesteak, Cheese Fish, Honey BBQ Wings, and potatoes wedges. The wedges were piping hot when they arrived. The wings were so hot that the sauce basically disintegrated by the time I ate them. I would order them again with sauce on the side. The Cheesesteak & Cheesefish both had a lot of flavor and veggies but not a lot of meat. If they stuffed the subs I would have given them a 4 or 5. I would order from again if I'm in a pinch.

"My daughter, S A M," Shaw signs back, "playing guitar," as he makes hand motions. "Being able to hear that." "You don't need to. Every spring, I go to the Boston Pops." "Why?" Frank asks disconsolately. "To watch...the feeling...the musicians...to see their joy. It's enough. To see that, to share it." Watching Ava recapture physically not just the performance in her retelling but the appreciation from both musicians and concert-goers alike, Frank starts to rediscover hope, even as he and Ava try to stay alive from the killers hunting them. The appetizers, entrees, and desserts from Eataliano Market & Deli, located at 5325 Phelps Luck Drive in Columbia, Maryland, prompt similarly unexpected overflows of culinary memories and joy. Upon our first visit of what we hope will be many, my wife and I placed the following takeout order: 1 order of Baked Meatballs 2 orders of Garlic Bread 1 ten-inch Empire Pie (I requested no ricotta or extra virgin olive oil) 1 order of Rigatoni Meatballs alla Vodka 1 order of Spaghetti with Homemade Meat Sauce 1 slice of Limoncello Mascarpone Cake 1 slice of Pistachio Cheesecake The garlic bread and pistachio cheesecake alone conjured spectacular reminisces. The pizza is the best we've had in Maryland, although my wife regretted my choice of no ricotta; and we would gladly reorder our pasta dishes if we didn't have many more entrees that we want to try.

HIDDEN GEM!!!! I…read morestumbled across this place while visiting Columbia, MD. I was craving a good cheesesteak, so I did what any responsible foodie would do--I consulted Google. This place kept popping up, so I figured the internet couldn't be wrong... at least not this time. The restaurant is tucked away in what feels like a residential area, making it a true hidden gem. The parking situation, however, deserves its own reality show. Spaces are limited, and getting in and out of the parking lot felt like I was participating in an advanced driving course. The establishment offers nice seating, but don't expect a formal dining experience. You place your order at the counter and then find your own seat. When we arrived, the place was packed with people ordering and eating. That's usually a good sign, and at that point I knew we had either found the jackpot or everyone in Columbia had the exact same cheesesteak craving. Because of the crowd, ordering took a little while. The dining area was also in need of some attention--we ended up cleaning our own table before sitting down. The food took longer than expected to arrive, but as soon as I took the first bite, all was forgiven. We ordered two cheesesteaks and a personal pepperoni pizza. The cheesesteaks were absolutely loaded with perfectly grilled meat, topped with grilled onions and peppers, all served on a warm, soft hoagie roll. Every bite was packed with flavor and required at least a few extra napkins. The personal pepperoni pizza was also excellent. I'd describe it as a traditional thin-crust pizza with the perfect balance of sauce, cheese, and pepperoni. No ingredient was trying to steal the spotlight--it was a well-rehearsed pizza ensemble. As I said from the beginning, this place is a hidden gem. The food alone is worth the trip. The only reason I gave it 4 out of 5 stars instead of 5 is because of the challenging parking situation and the dining area's cleanliness and service. Fix those two issues, and this place might just become my new definition of a cheesesteak pilgrimage destination
