“We stopped in for dinner after a less than stellar meal at another restaurant. First, the menu is incredible and executed to perfection, with care and discipline. Second, Marvin is a professional-class server; he treats every table as if it were his only one. Third, the front desk manager went out of her way to make us feel welcome on our celebration evening. If you've read Guidara's 'Unreasonable Hospitality' and wondered where to find it in Memphis, it's here.“
“where do I start? ?the service is chefs kiss ?- I’ve always had amazing servers who try to make our experience special.✨I could write a love song aboutthe wedge salad. I get it every time.✨I dream about the thunderbird pizza. (also, all the pizzas can come gluten free! big win) It’s slightly spicy and sweet.✨I wish I could swim in the espresso martini.. I think it's the best one in Memphis. they have a revolving drink menu and I've never tried one I didn't like.my only complaint is it's a little loud in the center of the room so it's hard to hear if you're sitting at a large table.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free“
“I usually order the pizzas. Love their pizzas! Decided to try something different today. I had the calzone, not a fan! I'll stick with their pizza. If you love cheese you'll love the calzone. It's FILLED with cheese. Could have had a few more toppings to balance it out but all of the topping are extra.“
“Ciao Bella has to be 1 of my favorite restaurants in Memphis! Every dish I've had has been absolutely delicious! I try to save food to take home every time, but it never makes it! The service is amazing and I love how they designed the new restaurant! It's elegant but still very much inviting. I like to think of Ciao bella as my little well-known secret that I don't like sharing.“
“I had a group of 14 that wanted a nice dining experience before we went to a concert that started at 7:00. The chef/owner, Morti, called me back immediately when I left a message on the reservation line and said that the best way to meet our time schedule was for everybody to go online and make their menus selection for me to text to him which I did. When we arrived, the table was beautifully set for 14 and our waitress was waiting for us to take our drink orders. Our food arrived within 10 minutes and everything was absolutely wonderful! I can personally vouch for the veal piccata which five of us had and it was excellent! She gave us separate checks as we requested and, after a wonderful meal and nice conversation, we had plenty of time to go to our next event. This is truly a secret gym in East Memphis in Brookhaven Circle with a wonderful atmosphere with nice music in the background, but not so loud that you can't have a good conversation. I highly recommend Marciano's for a special night out!“
“Amerigo is a great Italian restaurant for families. My one complaint is the tip is automatically added to the total bill on top of the tax which makes it even higher than standard 20%. I always tip well relative to the service, but it’s irritating to be given no choice.I understand it’s standard for large parties, but our most recent dinner was 3 adults & 2 little kiddos. Not cool.“
“We absolutely love this place! My husband proposed to me here, so it has a very special place in our hearts ?. The food is amazing! I've had the Chicken Marco Polo many times and it never disappoints. Great drink options and the service is always top notch whether you sit in the dining room or at the bar!“
“The Walker Avenue location hosted our church basketball team’s pizza party and did a PHENOMENAL job. The staff was very accommodating of our large group and provided us with everything we needed. The food was delicious and we will definitely look to them for future group events!“
“Loved it all!!! Tiffany our server was excellent. She really got to know us and was super friendly. The food outstanding. Definitely one of the better places I have eaten ever!Dont confuse this place with Frank Grisanti’sWhich we tried it was HORRIBLE!“
“Absolutely stellar pizza spot! From the mouthwatering aroma that greets you at the door to the perfect blend of cheese and sauce on every slice, this place is a true gem. The friendly staff adds a delightful touch to the overall experience. A must-try for any pizza enthusiast!“
“Food was hot and delicious. Service was great! Although it was a busy weekend, we didn’t wait long for a table and food arrived quickly!!Parking: Needs a bigger lot we had to drive through a couple of times and wait for someone to come out.“
“One of our favorite local places to visit. From pasta to steaks, large variety. You are treated like family and it is the epitome of how a restaurant should be. Alex always cooks a great meal and specials are to die for. Big John would be very “
“Ordered a muffuletta they didn’t have the meats ? so ordered the Italian hoagie and tomato basil soup. Both were very good. Bought some take out meals but haven’t tried yet will update post when I do. Very interesting place with lots of good looking take out meals. I’ll definitely be back I still want to try the muffuletta! Hopefully they’ll be prepared when I do.I did think the ordering process was awkward. There’s a check out counter but you go over to another area and look over a tall stand through a narrow space to place your order then go to the checkout counter to pay.“
“If I didn't know better, I'd swear our dinners were all home cooked.. This restaurant is in a league well above Olive Garden... And I like OG a LOT! BUT... be prepared to pay well above OG prices. But you get what you pay for. In my near 60 years of life, this ties for 1st in CONUS for my favorite Italian restaurant. If you want better, you'll have to go to Italy.Kid-friendliness: I have no idea how kid friendly this place is, but this is NOT the place to bring wild screaming kids or crying babies. Doing so will totally DESTROY the blissful ambiance of this upscale restaurant.“
“Great customer service... When I call in my order I'm always greeted with a nice voice on the other end very friendly and when I arrive for my order it's always on points. I wouldn't go anywhere else for my salad plus the customer service is excellent. Briana is the best.“
“It’s been a while since I’ve had pizza so I was looking for something for dinner and I googled something about foods in the area where I was an saw Dana’s Pizza so I thought this would be a good change. So we stopped by and I glad that we did, Very Very good pizza and the people who worked there were also very nice well worth the stop and when I’m back in the area and have pizza on my mind I will be stopping by Dana’s Pizza“
“I ordered online to pick up, I live over 30 minutes away but it's definitely worth it. Ordered 3 large pizzas, all 3 the pizza maker(s) did a great job generously applying the various toppings. Also in orders 2 orders of wings, one honey bbq and 1 mild. The honey bbq was fine, nothing really to write home about but not was a nice thick sauce, not runny or anything. Now the mild, that was a really well done Buffalo sauce. I walked in, gave my name, the cashier got my food (I had paid on the website) and I was right back out the door and headed back on the road for the 30+ minute drive home. Everyone was quite happy with this dinner and I will definitely visit this location again!! As far as inside seating it looks like there's just a few tables so it's not really designed to be an est in place more of a take away.“
“I always order take-out so I can't comment on atmosphere. I enjoy the food. The portion sizes are more than adequate and the prices are very reasonable. $18-$24 for food of this quality compared to fast food places around $12... no contest. OG is my fast food replacement. ?“

“Listen Memphis and tourists! This authentic Italian restaurant has everything on the menu. The food is incredible from the stuff shells to the white pizza to the stromboli. The garlic knot bread is delicious! Excellent service, food, quality and quantity. Highly recommended for Italian foodies. You don’t want to miss The Boss!“
“Ordered online for my lunch break, co-worker ordered too. Got there at the scheduled time and there was a sign on the register that said short staffed, please be patient. Had to wait about 10 minutes. There was one employee, taking orders, handing out orders and making pizza. He was doing an awesome job, and when I made it back to work everything was correct. GREAT JOB!“
“Just one of the many pizza spots in our town, but they're awesome. Great pizza, super wings, and salad. Owner is there every time I go and he's involved. Impressive joint.Dietary restrictions: They have a cauliflower crust, which I wasn't aware of until after my last order, so I'll try that next time. The waitresses said she loves the cauliflower crust.“
“Pete & Sam’s is a Memphis classic for southern Italian-American cooking. Hear me out; they have easily one of the best cheeseburgers and Gorgonzola wedge salads in the city. I know people aren’t coming here for the burger, but it’s worth a try! It’s charbroiled, well seasoned, with tender beef. The employees are awesome and although the restaurant is usually slammed they’ll get you in in no time.“
“Didn't have but a small piece of pizza at this birthday party. However, I enjoyed the atmosphere and the service was excellent. Wish I could remember her name. But, you folks know who I'm speaking of. Give the girl a raise! Thanks folks. Blessings ?“
“Was excited to try new BBQ & they didn't disappoint! Sauce is a little sweet, but good. Nachos were excellent (cheese is really good!) & the pork sandwich was great! No fatty bits in the meat & their cole slaw, while very unique went well on the sandwich! Beans were excellent & wedge fries were hot! Sweet tea was also amazing!Shout out to our server Terranisha for keeping the sweet tea coming! She was very pleasant as well!We will definitely be back!“
“First time dining in and we were pleasantly surprised! Great menu and food options. Love the different pizza crust-style options (Chicago, Detroit etc.) Great craft beer menu. Also loved all the TVs - great place to catch a game! This place is definitely on our east Memphis radar now!“
“Haven’t been to an Olive Garden in a while. Visiting family back home in Cordova and wanted a nice sit down meal. Other places had a long wait as it was Sunday. No wait at Olive Garden. Food did not disappoint. The server was above average and she had the most amazing nails! Wish I had gotten her name. She was very pretty and had nails that reminded me of hello kitty with 3D type things attached. I loved them. She was the best and had the most patience with us and best personality!“
“Delicious pizza and great service, even on a cold,icy, winter night! Deluxe pizza, white pizza, and sausage pizza were all great, with some of the best crust I've had in a while. Cheese bread was what you expect, nice and cheesy! The staff were great to deal with ordering in person, friendly and accommodating. Definitely going to come back!“
“Awesome food, awesome staff, awesome atmosphere! Can’t ask for anything better. It was quality local food with a Charles Vanelli flair!Go on Saturday! 1/2 brisket sandwich is the best!It’s not McDonalds premade food. If you want great fresh local food, go to Vanellis!“
