My scallops and the sauce were overly salted, and the polenta was overcooked to the point that I could not chew it. Our waiter could not answer basic questions about the menu, including descriptions about the dessert coffees. He was very sloppy when he packed up our leftovers, and dumped them in the boxes upside down. My tiramisu was in pieces instead of in a rectangle.

Food was delicious, we started with calamari and burrata, veal chicken and salmon entrees were great. We ended with ricotta cheese cake. Will definitely be going back. Thanks for a great night!

From many choices of Pizza and a variety of toppings to a wide selection of home style " Grandma's Sunday Dinner " of pasta,fish and steak, it is all there at Crispina's. Top notch neighborhood restaurant never disappoints. Reservations a must and a party room is available . Enjoy Sunday dinner every night of the week.

Highly disappointing. The shrimp in my gnocchi dish were absolutely rancid and stank of ammonia, totally destroying my meal. Of course I returned it and another member of our party of five also returned his meal (a mixed seafood dish). It put a real damper on our Sunday lunch. I had to almost stand on my head to get the waiter's attention and a lady at the next table alerted him I was trying to talk to him. Not the best way to run a restaurant. ?

Arrived on a Friday night without reservations at 5:00 p.m. they were able to fit us in. Atmosphere was great, service was spot on, and the food was very good. Made for a great evening with a good friend. Definitely will come back, and recommend it.

They accommodated our request for outside seating for 6 (plus one dog). Service (thank you, Antonio!) was great. They took extra care to have the heaters on for us. Food was, as always, excellent.

We have been enjoying this place since they opened. The food is great and consistent. The people are friendly and attentive. Lee, Linda and Anthony do a great job! We always enjoy it. Joe and Jo

Dinner last night with a party of 7. We were seated promptly and our server was helpful, attentive and friendly. The evening was a nice pace, and we never felt rushed. Our orders included 3 of the pizzas and 4 of the pasta dishes all were excellent. Calamari was exceptional! First visit for most of our party, and before we left everyone was talking about a return visit.
Made reservations and were promptly sittedGood warm place with Italian vibeFood was excellent..buratta/ lasagna/pappardelleService failed for not giving us any bread when other tables had bread baskets was not offered and my wife even mentioned it to waitress. We opted not to ask again and enjoyed. Just on principle it was wrong. We had olive oil lol

Maybe this was an off day, but our service was EXTREMELY slow. Appetizer came before we even ordered a bottle of wine. They were out of our wine selection so we had to choose something else, which resulted in further delay. We ended up having to snag another server to get the wine ordered. We had to ask for bread, which was not at all hot, and we had to grab a plate from another table to pour olive oil into. We asked yet another server for black pepper and for hot bread, but she obviously forgot as she walked past us twice without mentioning it again. We finally got the bread, and it was literally barely warm. We ate in the outside area, and the door kept banging open and shut with the wind, which was extremely distracting to everyone out there. We attempted to secure it shut, to no avail. All in all, this was not the best experience. The lasagna was good, but the Calamarata Pasta had mostly noodles, very little seafood.

What a wonderful evening with great food and wine, a wonderful attentive waiter and a great birthday celebration! The Caesar salad was delicious as usual. Veal with capers and artichokes in sauce over pasta is always a favorite. Don't forget dessert - both the tiramisu and vanilla gelato drizzled with fig balsamic were delectable.

OMG! It's worth the drive from Alpharetta. Best gnocchi since I ate at Cafe Europa in Ft Lauderdale! Wife had ravioli it was awesome, friends had calzone (you will have enough for 2 additional meals) and spaghetti (incredible). We have to get back there soon!

We had a great dinner at Crispina! The Ravioli Sienna and Caesar salads were delicious. The restaurant atmosphere was bustling with diners going to the theatre after dinner - it reminded us of New York in a wonderful way. Service was excellent. Highly recommend!
