“Pamela R. is a blessing. She recommends and describes specials, makes us feel at home, is so positive and upbeat. We really enjoyed the lasagna, fettuccine, and spaghetti and meatballs, and fresh salad. Thank you for a fun night out!!“

“My boyfriend and I ate here this evening (Valentine’s Day 2026), we hadn’t ate at Olive Garden in years, it sounded good. I am glad we did, we had a fantastic experience. There was a wait, which was to be expected, it’s not only a weekend evening, but a holiday. Once we were seated, everything was PERFECT. Our waitress was phenomenal, I wish I paid attention to her name, but I didn’t, she was an average height, thin, long-haired blonde with a red ribbon in her hair. She was on it, she got everything we asked for and right when we asked for it, checked on us the perfect amount of times (enough but not bothersome), made our “cokes with an insane amount of grenadine” perfectly. We really couldn’t have asked for a better waitress, as busy as she was, I don’t know how she did it, but it’s sure appreciated! Our food was super good, I got chicken scampi and he got chicken and cheese tortellini, out fast, hot, and delicious! Thank you so much for the wonderful experience! ♥️“

“Christine made the most incredible Italian Millefoglie dessert for 180 guests at my daughter’s wedding. It was a beautiful attraction set on on its own table at the reception. Guests raved about its freshness and taste. I highly recommend Stacco House if you are searching for something unique as well as delicious. Christine created a masterpiece with her attention to detail, and her professionalism was extraordinary.“

“I’m never disappointed with the food or service!! Top notch place!!“

“everything I've had is good, I ordered the wrong thing by mistake tonight and didnt want to wait for a remake. tastiest mistake I've made in a long time the power bowl is really great.“

“We love Pizzology! Good food and drink. The staff are friendly and keep you updated on your meal. Pizzology is our neighborhood go-to.“

“Came here after the Indy 500 after we realized the sports bars were packed because of the Pacers game. We love our Jets at home and really just wanted to eat some warm good food after being out all day long.
THIS PLACE WAS BUSY. Wait time said 25 minutes and it was just about right on. The guy at the counter asked everyone who came in what they were waiting on, checked it, and gave an update. The line was working quickly and you could just tell everyone in there was ON IT. Bake, toppings, and accuracy were just as good as we get at home. A nice finish to a long exhausting day. Good management and good staff are refreshing to see - keep up the good work guys :-)“

“Delicious food, from the salad to the spaghetti. Shared a Tiramisu and it was the best we ever had! Friendly staff and great service.“

“I enjoy dining at this family friendly restaurant in The Village of West Clay. The calzones are my favorites. My go-to order is the Queen of Hearts calzone and garlic bread. The servers are friendly and helpful.
Ordering online to pick up is easy as well.“
