“Jordan was our server and she was so friendly, very knowledgeable and accommodating. The food was amazing! You can't go wrong with anything you order. Get the dessert! Don't pass it up. It's divine! The Sangria was so tasty and not overly sweet!“
“This is the place to go if you know you want pasta. They've got pasta dishes from an assortment of different cultures. Each come with a few bread stick and the flavors are bold and balanced. Atmosphere is clean and pretty but nothing exceeds expectations.Parking: Very difficult to park during the holidays and special events but usually not bad.“
“If you have never been before GO. The atmosphere, the customer service, THE FOOD, is all impeccable. I have been twice this month with my husband. The food is fresh to order and they have the best garlic bread ever. Even just going in to sit at the bar is a great experience. 10/10 and definitely one of our favorite places to eat. ♥️“
“This was our first time visiting here but it will not be our last. Wonderful service and food! Staff was very knowledgeable about the food choices ? and quick to respond to every need!Parking: Parking is hard so definitely go for the valet.“
“The staff were extremely accommodating when half of our party was running late to our reservation due to traffic. Everyone was extremely friendly, and the meals came out promptly. The food was delicious. Highly recommend to anyone in the Birmingham area.Vegetarian options: Seven vegetable penne, manicotti, baked ziti, several of the pizza and calzone options“
“Service was absent. Waitress argued with my dad about an appetizer quality. So he refused to order any more food little did they know he was picking up the check. Food was okay. Not 5 star. Took us 4 hours to eat and get out. Waitress had 6 tables with 39 people in upscale restaurant. Been waiting years to go here. Service really was worse than Applebees“
“We enjoyed a lovely meal this evening. The wait was 15 to 20 minutes because we arrived on a Saturday night without reservations, so we sat at the bar for a drink to wait for our table. However, Bill and Julie, the bartenders, were so delightful that we decided to eat at the bar instead. They were attentive but not intrusive and served our food with perfect timing. I'm so impressed and pleased with my lovely experience tonight.“
“This place has the best- most authentic- tiramisu in AL, no exceptions. Went with my folks tonight and had the seafood ravioli for an entree. Not only was the bread crispy and the (seemingly) infused olive oil to dip with perfectly seasoned, but my ravioli sauce... I tried to pinpoint the flavor profile and never could. It was so amazing, but I couldn't put my finger on what made it that way. Hats off to Chef Andrew. He and Scott, our waiter, made that meal a perfect way to celebrate my parents' anniversary. Absolutely no complaints.“
“I could honestly go on about this place forever. The pizza is incredible. The venison is the best. The servers are all friendly and attentive. This is genuinely my favorite restaurant in Birmingham. I am bias though because I'm Italian, but it truly is an incredible place. Such a good bang for the buck.“
“This is my favorite restaurant. Visited last night for our anniversary, but have been many times. Service is always excellent, food is amazing, bartenders are on point. When we arrived there was a short wait for a table. So, we headed out to the patio, and grabbed a couple of cocktails from the outside window, a dirty mel'tini, and a brown butter old fashioned, amazing. And cocktails are even better when served by quite possibly the friendliest bartender around. Plenty of heaters, and tables available, it was a cold night. Nice string lights, a great place for pre-meal conversation. Once seated we started with a dozen raw oysters, 6 Bayou La Batre, 6 Murder Point. They were fresh, cold and delicious. Then we had our usuals, chicken francese, and beef carpaccio, both excellent, as always. Ended dinner with the vanilla creme brûlée. I almost forgot, the bread that comes to your table is so good, has just enough rosemary, it's warm, soft, and delectable. We will be back again, and probably very soon.“
“First responders know good pizza and Iron City is good pie! It’s conveniently located on Birmingham’s Southside with street parking available. Once you step inside you’ll forget you’re in the city in a good way. Atmosphere was up tempo, service was fast and friendly and the food choices were countless! Dine in or carry out…I’ve enjoyed both. Iron City is my first suggestion to visitors who brag about the pizza in their city. “My pizza place is better than yours!” Try Iron City!“
“First time eating here. Was doing work at a business suite in the same building. Walked in on a whim.Was greeted by a nice lady who took the time to give me some background information on the building and its origin, and even gave me a few recommendations on things to try.I ended up ordering two slices of pizza. Tried the original cheese and the meat lovers. Both slices were fantastic. The crust is different from most pizza places but was delicious and both soft and crunchy.I would definitely recommend this place and will be going back to try other things on their menu.“
“I have been eating here for over thirty years and having the all you can eat lasagna that is phenomenal on Thursdays or the Richman sub that has olive salad on it that just makes the sandwich if you like olives, it is great! I do enjoy eating here on the patio. They have had an older patio but just renovated the patio and it has a roof and it’s larger. It makes a very nice spot to eat lunch and enjoy the afternoon.“
“What an amazing experience. Flat bread was absolutely phenomenal. The pizza was just like how I’ve had in Italy with authentic ingredients. Tiramisu was good as well! Absolutely love this place. Server was extremely busy so I get it if there are some complaints of slow service, but we had a great time here.“
“Went in to grab a quick lunch and chose the Italian sub. Everything on it was fresh and the meat used was of good quality as well. It's nice to be able to get a sub and actually taste the individual ingredients instead of the usual bland mess thrown at us by most chains.“
“We chose to sit outside for lunch at Grand Ticino and really enjoyed the atmosphere! James took excellent care of us and made sure we were happy with the entire experience. We had cocktails, appetizers and entrees and everything was fantastic! Our only problem was we were too full for dessert! I highly recommend! #205adventures“
“I work for a highly respected law firm in Birmingham and we had the BEST catering experience from Bongiorno's last night. Tiz was incredible and owner, Ozzie, even came to help create a perfect evening. Quality food, quality service, and the best feeling of supporting a family-owned restaurant!“
“We have gone to Freddy’s many times and always had an amazing experience! The service is always amazing, the wine plentiful, and the food delicious and consistent. We had a party for my husband’s birthday this past weekend and were so impressed by the execution of service. If you want to be truly taken care of, come to Freddy’s!“
“The food was okay. My husband had the short rib and ordered a side of veggies for a complete plate. I had the salmon recommended by our server. It was not the correct temperature but I ate it anyway since the food took a bit to come out. The drinks are good. The atmosphere is like a hybrid local bar and small restaurant. The are TVs at the bar and the bar is equipped for most orders. Overall, I'd day give it a try. The night we went was busy. Getting a reservation wasn't difficult and the server was kind despite being busy.“
“Wow very happy customers here. We we are visiting for baseball tournament and wanted some good pizza and we got it. Thanks Bryd for the great service and delicious food. We lived the Garlic Knots and the Italian Special was perfect. Thanks again and wish we had your place in Freeport Fl.“
“Best Pizza Ever!! This is the best place in Birmingham. No doubt whatsoever. You can have Russelli's in any mood and you'll drastically approve. I at first had them while at a night out and thought it was just my intoxicated taste buds thinking it was great- but it was as amazing even sober. This place seriously is too good for this world and I'll forever love this place.“
“Found this place in a whim when I was looking at the menu at Chez Lulu. Decided to try it out - pleasantly surprised and wondering why I had never heard of it. Goat-cheese stuffed artichoke hearts are creamy and rich, calamari is perfectly cooked and not rubbery and the spicy sauce with pepperoni was excellent. Entrees were amazing - couscous is light and flavorful, vegetables are roasted and the sauces…wow. Get the pasta! Desserts shine and are all made in-house. Recommend the trifle! Only thing “okay” was the drinks, honestly. Not well balanced and some of their specialty martinis just don’t work well, in my opinion. Overall, highly recommended and I’ll definitely return.“
“Been coming to this place on our trips to Bham for years. Amazing pizza and pastas! We recently tried their cheesecake and it was creamy & delicious. They stay crowded and you can expect a short wait to get your food, however it’s very worth it. Front desk lady was cracking me up on our last trip. They really try hard to give you a great experience.“
“Was absolutely amazing. One of the nicest people and hardest workers that I've met. Congrats to you Marcos for hiring this guy and keeping this guy. I'll tell you what he's an amazing dude and I'm going to go out of my way to come to this location just to get a pizza here just because of that guy. When you have good employees and you have people that work hard and that you depend on, you need to make sure that you take care of them and Marcos is doing that. Because of this guy I will be a repeat customer over and over and over.. thank you Marcos for hiring this guy, he was the guy in there tonight at 9:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. is around the time frame that I was there. So whatever guy was in there by himself tonight, that guy is worth a million bucks and I do whatever it took to keep him. Thank you for hiring him, he's the reason why I will be a repeat customer“
“So, getting ready to open up an antique booth on Crestwood in Birmingham so went looking for a great restaurant. Well, we found it! The Filling Station is a def winner, with burgers to die for, great wings, amazing pizza and Stromboli and calzones along with a variety af starters and entrees! Brandi, our bartender did a great job with a bar full of customers. My burger was cooked just right and the peppers were grilled and made the sandwich amazing. My wife raved about the wings also! With seating inside and a covered outside seating area, multiple tv's to watch the games and with servers well trained I would highly recommend trying the Filling Station out! Well done!“
“Tried out Vecchia for lunch today. Located in the Moss Rock area of Hoover it was a little out of the way for us, but was recommended by a friend.At first glance, from the outside, I thought that this might be a nice place. Upon entrance I was shuttled down a narrow hallway lined with drinks and wines to a cashiers desk. We placed our order and served ourselves bottled drinks, from a cooler behind us.The prices for a 10 oz pie were $18 so I was hoping for a great find in wood fired pizza for our area.We then went around the corner to a very table cluttered dining area. After noticing that if you asked for water that it was “self serve” from a high school style water fountain in plastic cups. No wait staff roomed the area, only the cashier and the two cooks.When the pizza arrived it was fresh out of the wood fired oven. Nice char in spots but the bottom was still a little under cooked. I ordered the classic pepperoni but had to search to find said toppings. Scarce and unevenly distributed.Then came the bite; the tip of my slice was soggy and limp. No crunch. The bone was nice and crisp with good flavor. The red tomato sauce was bland at best, no spices, I ended up adding salt to my slice to help the flavor. Cheese was thin but nice flavor and pull.I looked for Parmesan, but had to go to the water fountain to find the powdered cheese shaker. (No fresh Parmesan available)Nothing was on the tables but a beer bucket with plastic utensils and off brand napkins.For what was told to me was a true Italian pizzeria I was disappointed. Pizza wasn’t bad but could have been so much better with somespices and flavor. And charging these prices I would expect some wait staff and fountain drinks. (Ditch the high school water fountain).Establishment was clean and staff was nice. Food was OK, maybe even good had it been a lower price point. But Vecchie has some loyal followers and it was busy for that time of day, so others must enjoy it.Overall 3.5 stars!“
“Stopped at Pazzo Pizza Truck and grabbed this huge slice of pizza. There is honestly not much to complain about here I just kinda with the sausage crumbles had more flavor maybe better quality not sure if they make those in house or store bought already made but man was this pizza soooooo freaking good and hot! The cheese was perfect with a nice sweet flavor just how I like it, pepperoni was huge and delicious could really taste that smoky pork flavor, the cheese was so well cheesy with a light mild flavor and just amazing, and guys that crust it was a perfect golden brown it was a perfect New York foldable slice and that's what I did I folded that bad boy and destroyed it! Please go check them out and if you can't find their truck then go to their brick and mortar at Pazzo Big Slice! They get a 9.5/10 from me great pizza!“
“Olive Garden at hoover, My friends and I had a reservation 2 weeks back when we reached there the person told there is no reservation under our name however after showing the message they told to wait so that they will arrange the table for us. In this situation there was a lady at the reception desk who was so rude and we felt discriminating and disrespectful the way she treated us as we are also customers to the restaurants and we weren’t any free loaders there the attitude in her face showed it all when the restaurant is hiring people at front desk they should have minimal knowledge how the person should greet and treat the customers. Due to such kind of people we do not feel like going the restaurant“
“I had a calzone. It was delicious. I got it to go, but they didn't give me enough marinara sauce. The sauce is excellent by the way! As others have said here, the service is a bit slow, but the restaurant was full because the food is simply delicious! This is a local hang out and they have been in business for a while!! They had a decent selection of beers. (Not just Budweiser). Also, I saw different wines at the bar. There are three rooms for seating, and one room has padded seating on the wall. It was very clean! The best thing was, it was not too loud to have a conversation, and even hear people three chairs down! This was on a Wednesday 7pm. I would say good vibes here for sure.“
“I have heard positive experiences about Pizzeria GM from multiple people and decided to try it. Once I got there, the atmosphere was great, friendly, and very welcoming. We went during a pretty busy time during the day but the staff was able to get us a table quickly. Everyone who was working at the restaurant was attentive and could answer any questions we had with no hesitation. The menu has many different options that people can choose from whether it be appetizers or main course dishes. Once the food arrived, we were so glad we decided to come here. The pizza was great, it was shared between some friends and me, and we all had nothing but positive things to say. It also is a very family-friendly restaurant. Overall, I would go here again because the staff was so friendly, the atmosphere was great, and the food was delicious!“
