    Fett Alfredo

    Loyal Pizza Star customer for years, regardless of the high prices. Ordered lasagna and asked if they could do mushroom Alfredo, which should include the noodles. Didn't order a "sauce." Received runny sauce with mushrooms and no fettuccine noodles. Misunderstandings happen, so called to get it fixed and was told they couldn't do it tonight -- an hour before closing, but they would make it right next time. However, we still needed dinner for tonight. Unfortunately, we will join all the others who switched to Domino's.

    No cheese stick on buffet. I went out of my way to go there. Poor lunch experience. Service was slow.

    Spaghetti was terrible. Sauce tasted store bought, pasta was watery. Why does everything take 20+ minutes to make when it isn't even fresh?

The waitress had to come back and apologize and said they had crab claws if that worked. Guess what?! No crab claws. I mean gezz. At least make sure you have the replacement of the replacement for an item you don't have. Food wise, the bread they give you were rocks. Stale! The calamari was fried to oblivion! The beef ravioli was decent but the Alfredo sauce for the gnocchi was broken. Looked like when you warmed up Alfredo in the microwave. I was so done with the meal and wanted to leave but we talked about a cannoli all day so when I order a cannoli for dessert guess what?! NO CANNOLI! Don't go

I stopped by on a Saturday afternoon since I had been having a hankering for a slice of pizza. I rarely ever crave pizza! My single slice was a nice portion and I enjoyed the supreme pizza overall. I would have preferred just a tad bit more sauce. The service was nice and friendly. The inside dining space has low lights and really felt like what I envision an Italian family's home to feel like. Currently, they aren't selling alcohol. They offer daily specials Mon- Fri. I plan to return soon to try some other menu items.

Cafe Trentuno was recommended on Yelp. At first glance, we were not impressed. It dated decor and there were no customers in sight. But the manager created us and took our order. He was very nice and informative of the menu. They do offer pizza by the slice at any time of the day. A plus if you just need a quick snack. They appear to serve Napoleon style pizza, so it was looking up. We ordered a large olive oil based, cheese with pepperoni and pineapple. I know it sounds weird but it's our favorite. Each pizza is custom made to order so it took a few minutes to be served. But the advantage was it was piping hot straight to the table. Olive oil was slightly sweet and tangy. Cheese was fresh and tasty. Toppings were perfect. Crust was crispy brown on undercarriage with nice crunch. Edges were crispy on outside and fluffy on inside. Manager suggested their balsamic dressing to dip the crust in, so we gave it a try. Highly recommended! It was a great choice! And of course, the Diet Coke was on point! Great customer service! Good pizza! We will definitely be back!

The restaurant was very clean, and they had their health score and food service licence in an area where customers could clearly see them. There was only one server, but she was very nice and even provided extra napkins and plates at no charge. Overall, the food was really good. I tried their New York-style crust, and it was great. I loved how you could fold the pizzas in half; it felt more authentic. The process (ordering to pickup) was seamless and quick. Overall, this is one of the best places I've been able to get carry-out food from.

But, I talk to Alex about it and he gave me a credit for the mistake for a new one under my phone number. He was very polite and very apologetic. I was satisfied with his solution. I rate him 10 + plus stars . Next, I will say that the new hot lemon pepper 8 piece wings are way too small and doesn't have near enough sauce on them. I took pictures of what I received because it looks nothing like the advertisement. I give them a 3.5 out of 5 stars and the taste was okay, but I couldn't really taste the lemon flavor and it wasn't all that hot either. Next the garlic knots I give them a 3.5 as well. They were slightly burnt and a little hard. I should have asked for a credit on them but I didn't. However, I suggest getting the cheese dip for the sauce because then they a 4 stars out of 5. They taste really good with the cheese sauce. Your going to love it.

    This is their advertisement for the new wings. Does it look like anything like the real thing?
