    Chicken parmigiana and pasta

    Best chicken parm and pizza around! Super fresh, perfectly seasoned. Generous portions. Love everything they cook.

    Screw

    Genuinely so concerned right now. I ordered delivery and in my Penn Vodka pie i bit into a literal screw or nail which i have pictured below. I heard my teeth scrap from biting into metal which is what led me to spit it out thank god. I can't even imagine how dangerous it would be swallowing that, and it was embedded into the pizza so it wasn't visible until i had a bite. Not only that but the second pie was half plain half pepperoni and came smeared and mixed, and the mozzarella sticks were cold and tasted like a cheap and store-bought frozen brand. Those two factors would not have been enough for me to write a review, but finding a literal piece of metal in my food is so alarming and I want to warn everyone. I also called to get a refund and nobody would pick up multiple times. Stay safe out there everyone

    Looking to get some pizza or takeout Italian in Hillsborough? Here's your place. I had the chicken parm pizza which was delicious! Super hearty and came with chunks of breaded chicken; they did not skimp out! My boyfriend and his mom both got the fettuccine carbonara. I tried a bite and it was pretty good, very creamy. I'm sure we'll be ordering more in the future!

I spoke with the Ama family's son who was passionate about how they've developed the right flour combination and hydration to optimize this style of pizza. They know flour! I'll need to convince my daughter to head down and try their pizza so maybe we don't have to trek to her favorite Brooklyn pizza place in the future! Their service was great/professional. Their other courses; antipasto, salads and pastas were exceptional too. Plus they had a portable gelato bar everyone raved about. Obviously, I high recommend Ama.

    So, this review will stand out as this place consistently gets great reviews, and if I were…read morereviewing prior to this past Saturday, I would have given a great review as all previous visits were very good. The reason for the about face is I have never been treated with such disrespect by management/ownership in my life! We had a 7:30 reservation, showed up a few minutes early, and checked in. The hostess told us we can wait by the outside bar, and she would come get us. 20 minutes later, she walked over by the area and went back to the desk. I walked over and checked to make sure she wasn't looking for us. She says no, looks inside and says she's still waiting for guests to leave. OK, I go back. It's now 8, my friend walks over and looks in and sees there are 2 open tables and suggests we walk over to the desk. We do and another hostess asks us after about 5 minutes if she can help, we state were waiting for our table, she looked inside and said OK, we have a table for you. So finally seated at around 8:10. We sit, server comes over in a few, tells us about the specials, sees we have our drinks from outside (the original drinks, more on that later) and says she will be back for our order. Bread (4 measly pieces) comes; she eventually comes back after taking an order from the table next to us who was seated after us and takes our order. Before she leaves my wife asks for more bread with our appetizers, to which she responds dismissively w/ attitude "I'll see what I can do".   My wife is mad; we are all angry as it's 8:45 and the only thing we have been served is bread & attitude. I went outside to find the owner (and his son) who had been out there helping the staff. I walk up and start the conversation stating, 1st off we really enjoy this place and have always had a good experience, but I wanted to share what was happening this evening, specifically w/ the server. I didn't yell, I wasn't belligerent, just voiced my/our displeasure. His response was a rambling about their special bread, why it's limited, blah blah blah. Totally missed the point which was how she responded. So, I respond by saying he obviously isn't concerned with the feedback as all he did was defend their bread position and that I was going back inside. I went back in. The owner and his son proceed to follow me in (confrontational much!) and the owner CONTINUES his bread rant. The son then asks me why I dared speak to his "80 yr old father?". Well, he is walking around like the mayor, I knew he was the owner, so I gave him my feedback. The rest is a bit fuzzy, but it's 8:20ish, no food, a confrontation with ownership and a terrible server. The son comes back and challenges me on our reservation time stating it was 7:45. As if that mattered. It WAS 7:30 and I asked him to come outside, and I'll show him the reservation. I go outside, food/wine shows up, there's yelling (not by us) and they ask us TO LEAVE! WTF! I ask what is going on, wife/friends get up and start getting ready to leave, then another 'henchmen' comes out of the back and starts mean mugging me as if he's ready to throw hands and has the nerve to say, "your inebriated". We had one drink the hour we were there, we couldn't get served enough to be drunk! The owner yelling "this is a family place", blah blah blah. They initiated the confrontation, and the only thing I can think of is I may have used an expletive when OUTSIDE with them (away from any other patrons), never yelled and never was belligerent. I'm 63 and never got kicked out of a bar let alone at a restaurant.  So, I doubt anyone reading this will stay away, but if you do go, especially on a weekend, don't expect good service, and DON'T DARE complain or give feedback. You have been warned!

The interior is decorated very nice and it's comfortable! Almost reminds me of a coastal decor and I love the yacht rock they have playing. Upon being seated our servers have always been so nice, usually the owners son. What a great personality he has! Now to the food, it's delicious! Our favorite appetizer is the meatballs, so tender and love the side of ricotta that comes with it. Between appetizers they serve a complimentary mixed greens salad, very good. For entrees the sausage signature dish is out of this world, so flavorful! Chicken francese is delicious, however, in addition to the veggies it comes with I wish there was a starch. The spaghetti carbonara is soooo good, very rich and the pasta is always al dente how I like it. An added bonus is it is a byob. Another perk is on Wednesday and Thursday they have date night which is bogo entrees for couples. Caffe piazza is a treasure and we are so grateful to have found it!

Not only are their pizza and traditional Italian food tasty (their calzones are fluffy and delicious!) but they also offer a comprehensive Latin menu.
