“No frills. High quality, tasty Italian food and low prices. The food is darn good. I ordered the capellini with the Neopolitan tomato sauce. A simple but delicious sauce and dish. One of the best anywhere. The sausage is top notch. Very tasty and perfectly complimented by the fennel. This place has no liquor license so bring your own bottle of wine if that is your thing. I have been coming here since it opened and will continue to do so. You cannot beat the quality of the food for the price. The place could get a little cramped and a little loud.“

“I'm not sure what that Mike guy is on about, this place is by far one of the best local joints around Lexington. For the price you pay, you get way more than your money's worth. The pizza is phenomenal, alongside being able to try other pizzas at the bar. The pasta is what you expect at a buffet, and the service was decent enough. My only suggestion is to ensure that you put on your menus what is exactly included in your buffet. Meaning, let your customers know what pizzas and desserts they can order! This is my second time here, and it will not be my last.“

“Expect a bit of a wait, even on a weekday.The inside is absolutely gorgeous. Obviously, we HAD to order the breadstick, right? Whatever you imagine it to be... it's even more delicious. The bread is even softer and more warm, the butter is perfection, and when you drop a little of the parm in there? Amazing.We did get a pizza and a pasta, but I indulged so hard in the bread that I didn't even eat the pasta until we got home.The side salad was yummy, and the ranch dressing was all the good parts of a house ranch. The pasta traveled well. So well, we were able to put it in a lunchbox with ice and take it home to California with us.The staff were all so polite and apologetic for the wait. Other staff stopped by our table and conversed with us (we were close to the beverage refill area) and were super kind.We will definitely be returning on our next trip.“

“A fast food Italian restaurant with drive thru and all. I thought we were going to a true restaurant. They had plenty of parking. Pulled in to park and saw a drive thru, thought that was weird but ok. Walked in and we had to order at the counter. Think Long John Silvers style ordering. We sat with our tabletop number and waiting on the food. There was plenty of seating (only 3 other tables were used). The service was iffy at this point. Left us standing around waiting to order. When ordering the lady was very impatient and did more talking than listening. We've never been here before we had questions. There is a self service kiosk to order if you know what your doing and don't want to wait. The food came out the guy had to go back after forgetting the breadsticks (that come with the meals). My wife and daughter got the spaghetti and I got a sub. Honestly, it tasted better than I expected. Amazing, no....but not fast food quality. For the price the quality is pretty good. Service, although below average, still better than a typical fast food locations service.Kid-friendliness: Typical fast food style eating. Very kid friendly!“

I’ve been to this location numerous times and the manager is ALWAYS working hard, friendly, and accommodating. You can tell he cares a lot about his store and takes pride in it, which can be rare in the restaurant industry. I genuinely don’t think I’ve been here without seeing him before- he is always cleaning the lobby, taking orders, or keeping things tidy in general. He’s quick to offer anything extra like boxes to go and checks in throughout your visit. He’s always very kind to guests, especially seniors. Just wanted to pop on to say these things don’t go unnoticed & to keep it up! (:“

“I love Grimaldi's. It's coal fired pizza and you can certainly taste the flavor. My husband and I recently went for his birthday. Fun fact they have an excellent birthday offer and give you a large cheese pizza for free during the month of your birthday. Best part is if cheese isn't your thing or you'd like to upgrade they let you apply the value to any pizza you'd like! We decided to get a pizza called the Don. It has pepperoni, basil and homemade meatballs on it. It is sooo good and better yet we had leftovers to take home for another meal. The only reason I'm not giving Grimaldi's a 5 star is due to service. It can be a bit slow. Our server was great but she had her hands full with serving half the restaurant. If you plan to time in just budget your time for a longer meal. Outside of that it's a nice experience. Check it out if you need a pizza fix!“
