“The food was excellent. Service was good. I would give 5 stars, but the women's restroom has a significant ceiling leak. The floor was wet and couldn't find a place to stand where water would not splash on your head. I reported this to a staff member and she acknowledged that management was aware, but it was too difficult to fix. There was no sign and no alternative. I don't know why they wouldn't just close down the women's and make the men's room a "family restroom" one at a time until they decide to fix this. Shows a total lack of concern for their customers.“

“The service is outstanding and the food is delicious with large portions. The calamari is fantastic but you will need 3-4 people to eat it. The first time there I ordered the grouper chef special dinner. My mother ordered the mahi chef special. Both were delicious. The cannolis were fantastic with the extra orange zest in the filling. The second time I ate dinner with my husband for our anniversary and I ordered the salmon dish and my husband ordered a veal dish with a reduction sauce. Both dishes were outstanding. For dessert we ordered the tartufo. I had never heard of it and was intrigued. I did not regret it. So very good and highly recommend this dessert covered in dark chocolate with raspberry, pistachio and dark chocolate gelato.“

“We had one of the sweetest servers in forever. She had only been here for 3 months but she worked so hard to make us feel like we were wanted customers. If I owned a business I would hire her and put her in charge of customer service. The food was good and that is why we went, but 13.99 endless pasta bowl really isn't true because it's 4.99 extra for add anything you are going to add. However, I would go back and pay extra for the chance to have the best service I have had in a very long time. I don't remember her name but if you see a pretty, young lady with long reddish hair and she is slender watch where she walks and ask for her section, you will not be disappointed.“

Idk whether it's spelt "Christy" or "Kristy" in her case, but she is a very sweet waitress and is always brightening my visits. She gives me better customer service than not only anybody who's ever waited on me at Puccini's, but better than anybody who's ever waited on me anywhere I have been out to eat. I totally recommend you go there and support her as someone who can give the same type of service to you.“

“This store, alongside other Sir Pizzas in Lexington, needs a major renovation.
Surely, it brings back memories. However, it is a dark and dingy store.
They have updated the music box, and they have a decent sound system.
Seating, tables, and walls, even the ceiling, all need a major update.
As far as food prices go, I do believe they are equally competitive with others. Maybe even a little under.
Talking with employees the pay is definitely low.
Now, on the good side, the pizza is delicious, and thanks for the trip back to the 70s.“
