“Visited this week for a business dinner. There were a lot of us in a back room, so your results may vary from mine. Overall, I really enjoyed the evening, the location and the staff.The place outside looked like a strip mall but inside looked like a real deal steakhouse. From the bar back, things looked refined & relaxed. Enjoyed the stay. Since we were a large-ish group, I was there a while and was never uncomfortable.The staff were efficient, good, and light-humored in a grumpy way. It wasn't like they were seriously angry, just as if being put off was part of the schtick. Light-heartedly put off would be the summary. As if everything was a bother and an inconvenience, but maybe not really. After a couple drinks, didn't even notice any more.I started with a Negroni and wanted to hug the bartender. I don't often go with them, I usually like something fruity. But in a steak restaurant with a lot of business friends, I had to act macho and didn't regret it. Negroni's often are made poorly and like scallops, when not done well --- Oof! These were prefect.For an appetizer, salad I decided to go with the lobster bisque. I thought it was a great choice. It was very tasty, a lot of it and a TON of actual protein in it. Lots of nice, delicate chunks of real lobster meat. Well done there.Since I was in a seafood mood in a steak restaurant, I went with the Surf & Turf. I'm a rube, so I ordered the steak portion in medium. For a steak restaurant I was sorely surprised with the meat. I would just give it an OK. I was looking for outstanding, but that just didn't do it. A bit overcooked (even for a medium!) and I almost had the aftertaste of a piece of liver. Not as tasty as I would have wanted. On reflection, I should have gotten some sort of saucy side to cover it. I hate to recommend adding it (I was taught BBQ sauce hides poor brisket), but it is what it is. However, the lobster was really good. It wasn't a large thing. An over sized prawn. But it was tasty and filleted out for you so it was even easier to eat. The asparagus and mashed potatoes with it were par for the course.As a business meal - recommended and would do it again. On my own dime with a date, I would have been far more brutal in the review.“

“Maybe I am biased because I have been getting pizza here since a child ..... But I have lived in several states. And I can promise you there is no pizza that even comes close to what you will find here at Romito's Pizza West in Independence ...Unfortunately, this applies to every other Romitos pizza that you will find that is not Romitos Pizza West in Independence ...So please don't be fooled by the name on the sign because in this case it's all about the location ...It's all about the people ...It's all about the hometown atmosphere ...It's all about exceptional service ...Of course it's all about the food!“

“This is my favorite go to for lunch. They sell pizza by the slice so my husband and I go every Monday. The staff is beyond friendly and customer service is top notch. I mentioned to them I had their white pizza one day and they remembered that 2 weeks later and now make it every Monday. You don’t get service like that many other places. The pizza being delicious is just an added bonus. If I could give more stars I would.“

“We were in town for a tournament and looking to feed a crowd of 60 on a Saturday night after the game. Being unfamiliar with the area, we looked for places nearby hotel. Called in the afternoon and asked if we could pick up pizza around 9:30 (soonest we could get there) and the wonderful staff said "Sure! We can stay even though we close at 9." AMAZING! Another place I called first turned me down flat. The staff person's friendliness, accommodating nature and passion for the pizza was outstanding. Angies Pizza really did make our team party a hit and we really couldn't be more grateful. Just outstanding, hometown type service and yummy food. We are so grateful.“

“We came here for a work dinner while shooting a film nearby and it was magnificent. All of us are pretty well-versed foodies and within 10 minutes we were oohing and aahing over the cacio e pepe that they make using farfale. Then the owner showed up with a literal mixing bowl of a fresh garlic and tomato pasta just to treat his patrons, we didn’t expect it and the guilty smile with which he spooned it onto each of our plates “just to try” was half the atmosphere of the restaurant bundled up in an act of hospitality. No kidding, it was 2x better than pasta I’ve had in much finer establishments, or even in the big tourist haunts in New York’s little Italy. Service with Marissa was incredible, and everyone was beyond friendly. What a delight!“
