Rai Wang We ordered a Chef’s Favorite Roll, a Carbonara Pasta with rigatoni and grilled chicken in regular size, and a kid’s meal Chicken Fingers. The portion sizes were impressive and very generous for the price. The Chef’s Favorite Roll was big, flavorful, and had a little kick of spice that made it extra delicious. The Carbonara Pasta was rich and creamy and well-seasoned. Even the Chicken Fingers were freshly made, hot, crispy, and full of flavor. Overall, Piada Italian Street Food served a tasty meal with great portions and quality ingredients. It was a satisfying choice for both adults and kids.

Alexa H The food is really good. Served fast and timely. We got fried calamari for appetizer, main dishes : pork and meatballs. Dessert bread pudín and coffee. They have ample selection of wines to pair your meal with. The waitress was friendly and polite. It was lil pricy but worth it.

Andrea Gerlach What a great morning. We beat the crowd to have a nice breakfast and even better company. The staff were lovely, kind and thoughtful. The concept is wonderful. I would certainly go back.

Katharine M. Had an excellent lunch at Chop Shop today! We ordered the Cobb and Mustang Sally salads and both were fantastic. The portions were large and a great deal for the price. Our server, Bailey, was attentive and friendly. The patio was perfect for this mild day and would be nice to be on for one of the Hub 121 concerts since it backs to the side of the stage. We will absolutely be back!

Bree Tinto Came here for our engagement anniversary dinner and it was delicious! We will definitely be back. The gnocci is a must order and the restaurant was stunning.

Josh Brown Absolutely wonderful dining experience. Multiple managers (Tyler & Eddie?) came by to check on our table with very pleasant conversation. Love coming to this place to make you feel like family and the food is Top-Notch!

sweet mommab Food was delicious. We Had pineapple fried rice with chicken. In a stirfry veggie bowl I didnt see the water chestnuts so I asked for some extra and they brought me a huge bowl. They were delicious. They were like match sticks of water chestnuts, and they were delicious. We also tried the Crispy, veggie rolls, and Dad loved those and I did edamame, which was absolutely delicious. Very friendly staff!

Lish First time here. Blown away by the options and sizes. Got the small salad bowl but it was huge and two people could easily share. Toppings were fresh and plentiful. Staff were quick, attentive and friendly. By far my favorite thing was the Croissant! So fresh, airy and flavorful. Also try the lemonades - the peach was ah-mazing Plenty of seating and tables were clean.

Adam Beuchert This was my first Cubano sandwich experience and it was delightful. The service was wonderful, they checked up on us multiple times and brought us some sauces. The sandwich was just amazing, the pork was so tender, house made pickles were fresh, and the ham/swiss was a match made in heaven. The crisp bun just completed it all. The plantain chips were crisp and salty with a slight sweetness. The yucca fries were great as well, the yucca was tender and the toppings added some great flavors. I don’t know the exact sauce name but get a side of the red sauce and dip the cubano in it… GAME CHANGER! Would definitely visit again!

Tingting Yang Its really delicious. The boss and employees are super warm and generous. I like barbecue and chili. Today, I tried to mix chicken and beef together. They have their own characteristics. This is definitely the most amazing barbecue I have ever eaten in the area. Its so suitable for parties. I cant wait to introduce it to more of my friends

Maxi Poe No disappointment, it is what you would expect from a sports bar. The food is really good and taste fresh. Amazing French fries. The vibe is very relaxed. Great place to be with family and friends. Hayleigh was very quick in serving here guest.

Jeremy Pittman Tried this place out after hitting a few drives and I was pleasantly surprised. Drinks were made well, beer was cold, and food was fantastic. Kinny was my waitress and she never missed a beat. Bonus points for being absolutely hilarious.

April Strobel We had an incredible experience at Venezia Trattoria. The calamari appetizer was perfectly cooked—tender, flavorful, and paired with a marinara sauce that was absolutely delicious. The lobster ravioli was packed with real lobster and had such a rich, wonderful taste. The fettuccine was also outstanding, with a generous portion that didn’t sacrifice quality for quantity. For dessert, the vanilla crème brûlée was hands-down the best I’ve ever had—smooth, creamy, and perfectly caramelized on top. Service was impeccable from start to finish. Everyone we interacted with was warm, attentive, and genuinely made our meal feel special. This is definitely going to be one our favorites.

Nadya Masterova We came around 7:30am on a week day. Tables were empty, so we sat inside. There was no line, but people were coming in one after another, some of them were taking couple of this huge boxes. So yes, better come early! Croissants are absolutely delicious! And prices are fair. But better get whatever you will eat today and maybe tomorrow, after few days it will taste like any other old croissant.
