“If you have a super picky eater in the family it can make trying new places difficult. But we ordered from The Spaghetti Shack for the first time for a school fundraiser and everyone in the family absolutely loved it and had multiple servings. The sauce was amazing! The meatballs were phenomenal! And the service was super friendly and fast. If you want something that you know everyone will enjoy, this is the place for you!“

“My friend is in town and she has celiac so we were trying to find a good place for her to have variety. We found a recommendation for this place on a gluten-free page. To say the food was amazing is an understatement. I was shocked at how gluten friendly they are, even to the point of having a dedicated oven for the gluten-free pizza us. My friend was overwhelmed with all the amazing options, and absolutely loved that she could pick whatever she wanted. We had the focaccia bread, the bacon, mac & cheese, and the fungi Florentine pizza. Dessert we tried the apple crisp and the tiramisu, both are which are gluten-free. The food was incredible. We will definitely be back.“

“Been to Society about 5 times now and have never been disappointed. Amazing food (The Diablo beef tips and the Evo salad (Kale) is incredible. I never thought I'd say that about kale, but you have to try it to understand. Excellent service and Uber friendly staff too. Highly recommend!“

“My husband and I always order the Chicago Pizza, and it's consistently delicious and cooked to perfection every time we visit. Tonight, we branched out and tried the artichoke dip, which was fantastic as well. We shared dinner with family, and they thoroughly enjoyed everything too. The service was excellent—friendly and attentive—and the food arrived quickly, piping hot and fresh. While the acoustics can make the space a bit noisy, it's a minor trade-off for such a great dining experience. We highly recommend Spinato's and will definitely be back!“

“Such a classic, fun place for Chicago-style pizza. We’ve been coming here for almost three decades!“

“It’s Olive Garden, done just as intended. Good food at fair but increasingly expensive prices. Interior that hasn’t changed in years. Friendly, attentive staff. This isn’t high end Italian food, but it’s also not priced as such. Go for a decent family meal.“

“We love this restaurant and can always expect a great experience each time. The food was incredible and so was the service. The new owner is super friendly, kept the same awesome food and the piano player last night made it a perfect night to share with friends.“

“Spaghetti and meatballs were on point. The garlic bread complimented it just right. The meatball sandwich made for the perfect lunch the next day.“

“Everything is intentional. Great wine, every selected item carefully placed on the bruschetta. Every olive 🫒 selected carefully. Yum.“

“Best shrimp scampi bar none“

“This spot totally hits the mark when you're craving comfort food. My favorite dish is the mac & cheese. Game… Changer... The cavatappi noodles are the perfect match for that rich, creamy cheese sauce. Like, it’s the kind of dish you think about later and wish you had leftovers lol. It’s a simple thing but I love that they serve complimentary rolls with the pasta because I can eat all the sauce up!
Their pizzas? Always fresh, always fire. I’m vegetarian so I stick to the basics but besides the plain cheese I do also like the White Pizza too. Okay now our fave thing to get before we leave are their cookies. They’re soft, gooey, and just magic, not your average cookie. Trust me, get one (or two).
The staff is super friendly and actually knows the menu and will give great suggestions. Plus, seating inside or out depending on your vibe (and the weather, obvi). Now the only negative we have encountered so far is parking. It can be a bit of a hassle during peak times, because you have to pay and walk a bit but honestly, it’s worth the mini hunt if you can’t get parking up close. Overall, a solid spot and highly recommend to our friends & fam! Sauce Pizza & Wine is the vibe. 🍷🍕🧀🍪“

“Their spicy butcher is great! Thank you!“

“I wish we had found this place sooner. Delicious food. We can’t wait to go back.“

“6 rating out of a possible 5… outfuckinstanding !“

“Great food, fast service, friendly staff and clean. Always recommend Barros.“

“Great Margherita pizza slice. Crust was thin and incredibly chewy. The flavor of the sauce and Mozzarella were great. Caesar salad was good just a bit too many croutons personally. I was stuck in the restaurant during a dust storm for 2 hours with power off so they gave me an extra slice.“

“Tara was amazing AND BEAUTIFUL❤️😊❤️😊❤️😊❤️😊❤️😊❤️😊❤️“

I’m glad to have come the day he was here to make sure my order was correct. All staff is great! This place is very clean and also very good atmosphere!!!“
