This restaurant is by far overrated. The ambiance is very dark when you go in with piano music…read moreplaying. The host were rude and didn't have a warm welcome upon arrival. We were seated in the back room for a birthday dinner celebration. The room was extremely dark and we couldn't turn on the other lights because it was connected to the most dustiest ceiling fans that had at least 1/4 of an inch thick of dust. The woman who was coming in and out of the room to pour water in the water glasses had an attitude like she didn't want to be there. I asked her a question about the menu and she very dryly told me "you can't order that unless you are on the other side" then walked away. That's when I was inquiring about the bistro menu. At that point I knew I wasn't going to be able to eat anything there due to their lack of plant based items or even easily adjustable items so I just ate the bruschetta. However when we placed the order for the bruschetta it never came out. So once we asked about it, it was then comped and brought out. Our waiter was very irritated and annoyed it seemed with the large party he had to tend to but his assistant which was a younger more personable guy was way more pleasant to be around. The cost point for the food was beyond the taste and size of the portions. When I asked about kid options, the waiter told me he could have the chef make a kids steak or chicken tenders and fries. It was my mistake for not asking for the price since I assumed it was a kids portion. Granted the tiniest steak did come out I still had to pay over $24 which I would have purchased the regular adult size if that was the case. So some clarity on the menu options for the kids would have been greatly appreciated. I can go on and on about this place but ultimately I would recommend not to go here unless you don't care about customer service or price points. Upon leaving the family event, and getting home I then realized my debit card was never returned to me by our gracious waiter. So once we returned to retrieve the card another day we were greeted with the rudest and most annoyed individuals at the host station. Needless to say we will never ever return.

Listen, I'm from Brooklyn -- so when I say this pizza was the real deal, fuhgeddaboudit…read more After leaving the gym, feelin' like Rocky after round 12, my stomach was singin' opera. The kids start chanting like a tiny mob: "Pizza! Pizza!" So we do what any good parent does -- we listen to the boss(es) and start cruisin' for a slice. We roll up to this joint. From the outside? Meh. Looked like the kinda place where you'd maybe get a decent soda and some dusty snacks. But the moment we walked in? BAM. We're greeted by someone with a personality so warm and bubbly, I thought I walked into a bottle of Pellegrino. We order a 12" pizza pie. I was skeptical. I mean, c'mon, I'm from Brooklyn. I've got marinara running through my veins. But lemme tell ya -- the first bite? Fuggedaboutit. I blacked out. I came to somewhere on Rutland Road, standing outside Tony's with a greasy paper plate in hand, angels singing Sinatra in the background. This pizza? This pizza slapped so hard it left a tomato-y handprint on my soul. The sauce? Rich like a Staten Island dentist. Bright, tangy, kissed by garlic, with a little sass like it just got off the L train. The cheese? Oh mamma mia. Gooey, melty, with that beautiful browned bubble thing goin' on -- like it went to tanning school. And the cheese-to-dough ratio? Perfect. Not too cheesy, not too doughy -- like a well-balanced New Yorker: tough on the outside, soft on the inside. And the dough -- chewy, crisp, kissed by the oven gods. You could smell the love from the parking lot. It had that intoxicating aroma that makes you float Looney Tunes-style off your feet, led by your nose. Even my kids -- who treat crust like a bad Tinder date -- devoured every last bite. I had to check under the table to see if they stashed any slices. Spoiler: they didn't. So yeah -- this Winter Haven spot? It's a gem. Who knew you could find a slice of Brooklyn flavor this far from a subway rat? We'll be back, no question. Until then, I'll be dreaming about that pizza like it owes me money.

My server Kaleb was really great and informative, although a really busy day for a Wednesday he was on point. On to the food -- I ordered the mozzarella sticks as an appetizer to start which were crispy, well seasoned & definitely HOT (cheese PULLLL) lol Next the classic trio because I wanted to try their chicken parm and their Alfredo. Both were really good, I would say the Alfredo lacked a little bit of sauce but that's just personal preference. My meal came with a side, I chose the chicken soup.. it was GOOD but very heavy seasoning which made it somewhat spicy, so I did not finish it. ( Kaleb did try to offer me something else which I appreciated however I passed on the offer.) I tried the Caesar salad and that was good and fresh. Almost forgot to mention the warm bread for the table was sooooo good! Lol ( I know you're thinking it's just bread?) but it was freshly baked, and the olive oil with seasoning was a perfect touch. Not pictured* since it was my first time they gave me a complimentary free dessert. I chose the strawberry cheesecake, which was fluffy, creamy and tasted really good. Not too sweet. I would definitely return back.

The waitress we had was very kind and welcoming and bubbly with conversation. My family were all very pleased with their food, which consisted of bbq wings, lemon pepper boneless wings, a Reuben sandwich and fries and chicken fingers and fries. The only negative I have to say is I ordered a Greek salad without feta and the amount of dressing and oil was beyond an acceptable amount that I wasn't able to eat it all or even half. By the time I ate through the top layer of lettuce the entire bowl was wilted and drowning in oil. So my advice would be stay away from the salad and just enjoy the heartier options.

This Restaurant, has friendly staff, a humble and kind soft spoken Owner. When I started reviewing on other platforms I was dedicated to One Italian Restaurant that I worked in until eventually moving here to Florida. The staff is very attentive and helpful. Today I ate the Chicken Francese, they give you the option of Garlic Knots or Garlic Bread, I chose the Garlic Bread but I think either way I would have been happy with my decision. I was very satisfied with the Chicken, it was well seasoned and moist which can sometimes be an issue in other establishments but it wasn't today, not here. It was amazing. The pasta with the lemony white wine sauce was to die for. I came in at 11, right at opening, the restaurant was quickly filled with many customers and I can definitely see why.
