“Great service and great pizza. I worked at breadeaux in high school about 20 years ago and I'm happy to report the pizza is still as good as it ever was. If you are in the Altoona or Bondurant area give them a try and show them some love.“
“After 3 years living in Ankeny we finally tried Nonna’s last night and wow the food is spectacular and the staff above and beyond wonderful! We’ll definitely be more frequent visitors and now regret waiting so long to try them! Thank you so much for the great food wonderful drinks! We’ll see you soon!“
“I originally had a short and sweet review here and just could not leave that. Here is how I really felt instead. In the area almost exactly a year, have taking in all the restaurants and this is my first review. Portofino’s- Seated immediately, great atmosphere. Free/fresh garlic bread, honestly I could have eaten just that and brought 4 more home! Fresh, hot, still steaming to our table food! Chicken and Shrimp Milanese-with so much to bring home easily one more meal. Kids baked zeti with meatballs, easily 2 portions for a younger kid, maybe another half portion came home for my 7 year old. Cannoli-AMAZING. Finally 2 fountain drinks. All for only $40.02 Everything was excellent! Some of the best food we have had! ”The world’s best cannoli and meatballs” from a 7 year old little girl. Personal observations and highlights for me if you made it this far! (I have many family members in the restaurant business even owning high end restaurants in Denver). Although they were assigned specific tables, I have never been to a restaurant where every server acknowledges every table and adresses a need as they walk by. Servers seating new guest, filling drinks of other tables, clearing other tables, the list goes on and on! All working together, I did not see many tasks being completed alone. I didn’t not get a drink from the bar but I noticed the bar tender did not just fill the order and let it sit for the server. He personally took the drinks to the table if he noticed the server was busy(also I assume there may have been servers under 21 honestly). The service I witnessed tonight really showed a family, locally owned business with great leadership. Clearly employees who are well cared for and love their job. Loved that it was packed but I did not hear the table to either side of me very much. My daughter and I had a conversation and played a game while waiting for food just fine. Enjoyed that there were babies to elderly all seated in the same area around the restaurant. Let’s be honest most places seat all the families together away from couples, ect. This did not appear to be the case here. Big groups to a single person all treated with the same excellent service. Definitely family friendly or a place for a nice date night! We will be back A LOT! Pizza is next! That was the plan for tonight but that quickly changed when we looked at the menu. Looking forward to the many years this family restaurant will be feeding my family and many others! A true dining experience!“
“We were here with a large group of family. Since we had made a reservation, they had our table set up and waiting for us. The waitress was very busy with our large group in addition to the other tables around us but still managed to be very attentive. Our food was delivered quickly and was delicious. You can tell that it is all made in house. The owner came around and talked to all of us to make sure we were happy with the service and the food. We could see why it is such a popular restaurant.“
“We were here on a Friday night with a group of 8. We had a reservation and we were seated immediately. The owner stopped by and said hello before our waiter even got there. The service was great the whole evening, our waiter knew exactly when to come back and when to let us be and just enjoy the dinner.The food was great, it was a 4 course fixed price menu. Everything was delicious and the portions were just right.The brick walls add to the already great atmosphere. The restaurant was great and we will definitely be back in the future!“
“The lobby was clean and the guy who took our order was super friendly.He looked like he was busting his butt running the front and the lobby.The food was awesome and the mozzarella balls are probably a new weakness for me.Kid-friendliness: I loved their coloring table to have kids color and decorate the lobby. Very cute idea and it kept my daughter busy while she wasn't eating.“
“It was my fiancé’s birthday and she wanted a good Italian restaurant, and I knew just the place to take her.Her mother loved the lasagna, she loved her chicken parm, and I loved my chicken carbonara. Everything had awesome flavor and good portion sizes as we all had leftovers to take home.Julie provided us excellent and friendly service! We will definitely be back for the excellent food and Julie’s excellent service.“
“1st visit here last night. Will not be our last! Great food, great drinks, good portions, reasonable price, great atmosphere! Our group had 4 entrees: Salmon, Pasta Primavera, Chicken Amigio, and Ravioli in a custom Alfredo sauce. We also sampled the sugar cookie martini's.“
“I went through the drive through today on my way home. The young man that took my order was very pleasant and courteous. I ordered the Garlic shrimp stuffed shells, side salad and a side order of bread sticks. OH MY GOSH!!! Everything was delicious, fresh and hot! I will definitely be returning ?“
“Staff was great and friendly!! Service was excellent. Will return again. Very clean restaurant and bathroom's. Food was fantastic!!! Thank you to manger and staff!!!Parking: I'm handicapped and found plenty parking !!!! Thank you.“
“While on a recent trip to Des Moines I found myself getting a serious case of the munchies and only an ooey, gooey pizza would work. I ran across Scornovacca's on Uber Eats so did what anybody else would do and went to Yelp to check out the reviews. I was a little disappointed that it only had 3.5 stars so I decided to read the reviews. For the most part people were thrilled with their pizza. It was the complainers who brought down what should be a much higher rating!! I can only imagine how good this pizza would have been in the restaurant because it was amazing at my hotel. We got one with all the meats and had some fresh mozzarella added for good measure. Delicious!!!“
“Ordered the "Everything Potato" off the SECRET MENU. Was the best potato I have ever had, compliments to the head chef ;)You should ask for it with the phrase, "Can I have the everything potato just like King Julian like it."Parking: Parking lot is a 10/10. I shoveled it everyday before I clocked in just to make sure I didn't get paid for it :)“
“Everything wasn't too bad but just off in their own way. Such as food wasn't too bad, could be better. Service was good for the most part, waitress came around too often..?Parking: Handicap parking is right in front of the restaurant.“
“We were so happy to hear Rosati’s had re-opened after months of waiting, and our usual ‘18” Rosati’s Monster’ Pizza we used to get is still fantastically made correctly!We do take a few toppings off and added extra cheese, double dough (in comments) and hot giardiniera. We ordered at 12:22PM and while it stated a half hour for pick up on the online order, we walked in around 1:13PM and it was just being boxed up, which was no issue. Quality of ingredients were fantastic. We appreciate a pizza more ‘well done’ baked over normal, which this was.Many thanks to the cook in the kitchen today who made this, it was everything we were hoping for today! Hands down, we will be back.“
“Still the King and Molly(our server) The Queen-Stopped in on a Wednesday night in April with my GF. Even though Bobby is no longer around the place is still keeping pace with his frenetic energy and consistency. That is the key right? Consistently excellent each time.Had the chicken spedini(amoggio style) and it is still amazing and the value is excellent in my opinion. Side of pasta. Nice little salad. Chicken spedini and 23.00. GF had the same and we asked for her pasta to be Penne Regine style and Molly gladly was able to get that done for us.It’s just a Des Moines staple to me and so glad it is living up to it legacy. Well done crew! RJC.“
“My friend & I needed a place to catch up and enjoy good food! Chris was an outstanding server and we had a most delightful 2 hours! He went above & beyond to make our time special. The food never disappoints!Parking: Plenty of parking near the entrance.“
