“I wish we found this place sooner!From the moment we walked in, we could tell it was family owned. We were greeted immediately and given time to check out the menu. The Tango was exactly as described and the sub roll was toasted perfectly. My SO destroyed her Adriano.To top it all off the chocolate mousse cake was incredibly smooth and delicious as well as the Lemoncello cake. No pics of the cake due to how amazing they were!Will absolutely be coming back to try more!“

“Came here with my family recently looking for a quick bite to eat, I don't normally write reviews but I just had to after eating here. The food was amazing and the customer service was exceptional! One of my new favorite spots to eat in the area now, 100% recommend!!“

“I love, love, love this place and they're food. Their prices are reasonable, everything is homemade, and the flavor and authenticity is amazing for Italian food. I am Italian myself, so eating something so close to what my Nana made is delicious. Good job, guys!“

“We had a small party here, 25 people. Food great, service fantastic. Not too fancy, just right for a casual get-together. Good variety on the menu, large portions. We had a great time and would highly recommend for lunch, dinner or a small garnering.“

“Had the absolute pleasure of meeting Antonio, the owner of Bruno's Pizza. Not only was he extremely welcoming and kind, he gave us a great overview of the menu. When we ordered he shared stories with us, and gave us insight into who he was and what Bruno's is about. He even shared stories about his family! He made it feel like home. When we got our food, he wished us well and thanked us for stopping in. We got home and before even taking a bite, the aroma of the food was wonderfully overwhelmingly. We couldn't wait to dig in! Our first bite was filled with deep sighs of agreement, head nods of approval, moans and groans of enjoyment, and then we swapped bites and it was the same experience over again. If you haven't already tried Bruno's, you should. Your taste buds will not regret it.“

“We really like the pizza and salads from Angelino's. The one thing I don't like about this restaurant is that it is not accessible to anyone who cannot walk on steps. This is why I gave the atmosphere only 2 stars. I don't like to frequent businesses which are not accessible to all. So I only order from here very infrequently because of that.Wheelchair accessibility: Not wheelchair friendly. Not accessible unless you can navigate stairs. No ramp. Has steps to enter.“

“Food and service are great! Pizza is great! Atmosphere was a nice place and feel of the place but weekend nights or busy times are pretty loud in here. It was hard to hear anyone that wasn't right next to me. It's not a huge deal but you have to be in the mood for that. If uou want quiet dining on weekend nights I would not expect this to be your choice. I will go during the week instead and love the food.“

“Thus establishment was 15 minutes from closing, it was obvious that the clean up had started, The chairs were up on the table for cleaning, The staff took the chairs down for us to be seated, and took our order and served me and my wife, We were visiting this area from NJ, We didn't know where else to go, but the Pizza Boli crew took care of us, And the food was very good.“

“Reviewing for my husband, a self-proclaimed connoisseur of subs with nearly 55 years experience. His review is, “This is the best Italian Cold-cut I’ve ever had in my life!”The cheesesteaks are also delicious.Quality ingredients make it taste exceptional.“

“My husband and I live in TN and called and spoke with John about an odd request to order some Sour Beef and Dumplings to get to his 104 year old great grandfather, who lives on the eastern shore by Ocean City, where there are no places with good sour beef and dumplings. John was an absolute delight to speak with and he was absolutely happy to help us out. We made arrangements that when one of his family members or employees went out that way for any vacations, they would drop it off to the house for us. Several weeks had gone by, but one day I had received a phone call from John saying that he was going to the beach the following week and would still be happy to prepare the food and drop them off for us. We were so pleased that he remembered and that it was still something that he was willing to do for complete strangers. After that, everything went as planned and not only did he drop them off, but he went inside and showed him how to put it all together. My husband's great grandfather was surprised and so happy, and he loved his food! We will forever appreciate the work this man has done to help our family with this odd request. Thank you so much, John and crew!!“

“Let me tell you about my adventure at Vito's Ristorante in Cockeysville! Picture this: a charming little spot nestled in a cute shopping center off York Road. It's like stumbling upon a gourmet oasis in the desert of hunger!So there I was, joined by two fellow food enthusiasts for lunch. We snagged seats at the bar and were greeted by Orlando, the master of hospitality. His attentive service made us feel like dining royalty – move over, Queen Elizabeth!My rose was colder than my ex’s heart, and the veal dish? It was so thinly breaded, I could've used it as a napkin! And that lemon butter sauce? It was like a hug from Nonna herself, made with enough love to power a small Italian village!And let's not forget about the spaghetti and meatball masterpiece I brought home. Those veal meatballs were like tiny flavor grenades, exploding with deliciousness in every bite. And the homemade pasta? It was like a hug for my taste buds, reminding them that life is too short for bland carbs!In summary, Vito's doesn't just earn five stars – it collects them like Pokémon cards! If you're in the mood for an unforgettable dining experience that's as funny as it is flavorful, Vito's is the place to be. Just remember to bring your appetite and a sense of humor – because at Vito's, laughter is always on the menu!“

“From the atmosphere to the food portion sizes this place is what you call Italian!! When you enter you are greeted and sat promptly. My waitress Eve was wonderful!! For appetizers my party of 4 chose:Mozzarella stick and Bruschetta. Main courses:pizza.Prosciutto& Arugula, Pepperoni. Spinach Salmon salad and Angel Hair time Square dinner. Dessert:Tiramistu, Limoncello Madcardone Cake & Cheesecake. All portion size fabulous and delicious. Will definitely return.“

“The food here is absolutely incredible! It's not just good, it's mind-blowingly amazing! The quality is top-notch and let me tell you, the portions are no joke - they're huge! You definitely won't leave here feeling hungry. But the best part is the warm and welcoming atmosphere that surrounds you as soon as you step foot inside. Trust me, you're in for a treat when you dine here!“

“Our visit to Basta Pasta was admittedly one of pure joy! With a Family friendly atmosphere, we felt welcome and right at home. Their portions are more than plenty for one sitting, which is a welcome surprise. The management is superb. The staff you can tell enjoy their customers. It was truly a delightful experience, we will definitely be coming back.“

“I've been here a handful of times and I feel confident about writing a review. It's only based on pizza and fries. I've had the veggie pizza, cheese pizza, and fries. The cheese pie is consistently good. I will say if you get 3-4 slices of pizza that will run you about $12-$16 bucks and for that price you might as well order a whole pizza. The veggie slice I had was ok. It had diced tomatoes, broccoli, and spinach. It wasn't bad but I don't think I will get it again. I could've done without the diced tomatoes and spinach. It was a little on the bland side for me and I think onions and mushrooms would've given it a better taste and texture. Overall good food and customer service!“

“Im from NY. Llterally THE BEST NY STYLE PIZZA IN MD.Sauce is delicious, dough is rediculolsly good.This is the place you think of when we say "grab a slice".Hewds up, the word is out on this place they are STACKED on Fridays so call ahead!“

“I come here after enough for the workers to vaguely remember me and I've got to say..this place is one of, if not the best, places to get carryout in Towson. The wings and pizza are great every time and the other foods I've had have been pretty decent as well.You know exactly the type of carry out food this is, and Michaelangelo's is probably the best at it.“

“Dwayne is the best server! Attentive down to earth and just all around great customer service example! If there’s an employee of the month recognition he deserves it; maybe the year! He is the reason we will patron Bertuccis in the future.“

“This was our 1st time here. We drove 40 min from PA. The service was perfect. Our waitress was very personable and funny. The food was out of this world. My friend and I had the crab cake which went to the top of our list as a favorite. My husband had lasagna, which was a huge portion, and he had to take some home. And my friends husband had the chicken that was topped with crab imperial and was also delicious. We can not wait to go back and sad we didn't go here sooner. “

“All of the half subs are a very good size. They are even shareable with fries. My favorite song is the shrimp cheese steak. Deliveries are relatively fast. Take out is pretty fast also. They have good combination deals. My go to carryout.Parking: Shopping center parking. Very accessible to the public. Wheelchair accessible. Well lit.“

“I ordered from here a month ago on a Saturday and it was great but tonight it was too greasy and not cut plus one pizza was too soft underneath.Thank you for crediting us with two new pizzas we went and ate in restaurant this time and it was much better the manager was very accommodating.Vegetarian options: I was excited to see Roma tomatoes as a topping but they are sliced and not diced“

“I first had their pizza at a church. When I asked where they got their pizza from they told me this location.This is the place to go for a pizza. I picked up my own and let me tell you this pizza is really really good (phenomenal)-not like the typical commercial pizza you see in the area. I read that their sauce is home made and yes, that also makes the difference. Get a fresh pizza from here-you will not be disappointed and you will keep coming back. You don’t want to go anywhere else for a pizza-just come here because there’s nothing else better in the area. Just wish they had basil topping, no one seems to carry that anymore. Parking in front is a bit difficult if there are more people waiting on orders“

“Verrry good sexy good and all the employees that come to drop my food off treat me so good one time gave a guy 20 bucks and it was snowing and left thought he was gonna give me my change back.Very nice employees all of them have been looksmaxxing they even mog me when I open my door to get my food very “

“We've been patronizing this location since 1999. The past few years, both service and food quality have gone way up! Our orders are fairly complicated, and they've always nailed it.Dietary restrictions: Cauliflower and gluten free pizza“

“When they cook their pizza properly meaning it isn't soggy in the middle & crust is crisp....they are right up there in the top 5 for the Baltimore area! Its a "no-brainer." This is one slice out of the box on a very large plate. Enjoy it.“

“We arrived this morning right at opening. My picky son loved his kid meal- it came with applesauce and fries. My husband loved his pepperoni pizza. My older son loved his lasagna. My favorite pat of the meal was our waitress. She was kind, quick, and observant. She was the best. We will be back for all of the above reasons.“

“I have been to Basílico many times and I never had a bad experience it doesn’t matter what I get a sub pasta or pizza well let me tell you something today I had the best pasta of my life I honestly thought that my mom was in their kitchen cooking I highly recommend this place great “

“We had our wedding rehearsal dinner here last weekend and had a wonderful experience. The staff was very friendly and accommodating, the private room worked out perfectly, and communication the entire time and during the booking process was very easy. I highly recommend for rehearsal dinners or other private dinner events!“
