Went to a last minute dinner at Olive Garden. We did not have to wait long, and our server Mariah was wonderful. She was very entertaining and our food was delivered hot and on time. The restaurant was busy at the time and I was impressed that she remembered the details about what we did not want because of my allergies. There are people who I know cannot eat at Olive Garden because the food allergy is more severe than mine so I am happy I can still eat a few well planned meals there. Will be back another night.

This was my first visit. Food was average. I had the special - steak Marsala. Not impressed. The Caesar salad was shredded lettuce. It said â with anchoviesâ. The anchovies were apparently ground up into the dressing. The desserts we had were NOT homemade. We were disappointed. We were hoping the desserts matched the ambience of the Italian feel. Very pricey dessert for something you can pull out of the grocers freezer. Our waitress, Rebecca, was absolutely fabulous. Personable and efficient. She was continually checking on our large group. The restaurant is attractive and Iâll give them another chance. Iâll avoid dessert though unless the menu changes and it says âhomemadeâ.

My fiance and I had a very nice dinner here and loved everything from the drinks to the appetizers to the entrees. We were extremely pleased when we left. We weren't miserably full but definitely satisfied. I had the shrimp pugliese, and my fiance had the red/white. Both were delicious! Our service was excellent as well. We hope to return!

My personal favorite here is their Rigatoni Carbonara. It is very good. They arguably have the best homemade breadsticks in town. They are located in the north park shopping center directly behind G. D. Ritzyâs. Friendly servers and reasonably priced as well. Great for dine in or to go. I can highly recommend eating here.

We thoroughly enjoyed this spot on several visits to Evansville. The menu is solidly Italian-style comfort, and the dishes are well prepared. In fact, delicious!The prices are reasonable, and the service is consistently friendly and prompt. Itâs well ,worth a few minutes detour from downtown.

First time at Turoniâs ! Friendly staff and true pizza pub atmosphere. We enjoyed the House specialty pizza which is thin crust with pepperoni, mushrooms, black olives, Italian sausage, green peppers, tomatoes and pepperonis. Enjoyed a good session ale also. If in Evansville this place is definitely worth trying.

Having ate at another location decided to try this one. My server was very nice. I ordered the pepperoni rolls as I was not very hungry. They were good as usual. I ordered a cookie to go and it was just ok in flavor but fell apart to easily.

We were looking for a intimate setting with good food. Found it here! The food was great and the staff incredibly friendly. This is an older place but that added to the charm. Highly recommend the crab cakes. That came as an appetizer, but could have easily been a meal. The sauce was great! We chose lasagna and the shrimp and scallops as our entrees. So good! The menu is sort of limited but if you are in the mood for Italian food then you should have no trouble finding something.

Casual Italian restaurant offering an extensive selection of house-made and imported pastas, soups and salads, pizza, seafood, steaks and desserts. Large portions of affordably priced menu selections are prepared with the freshest ingredients available.

I know this is a chain restaurant, but honestly, it hits the right notes on so many levels. Wait staff are attentive without being intrusive. They offer suggestions and pairings for wine. Eat here every year for daughter's birthday and have never been disappointed--just wish there was one closer to the St. Louis area.

We enjoyed the staff and the restaurant has a good feel. But for the price we expected more. The food was okay but needed seasoning. The crust was cracker type but not a lot of flavor. The tomato sauce was okay but needed more seasoning. Not upset and would go back but papa John's has just as good pizza with a lower cost
