From the moment you step into this place you are taken back to the joys of real and homemade Italian food. The owners and wait staff are very friendly and always willing to go the second mile when helping their customers. Everything is made fresh and from scratch including their amazing pesto sauce. One of my favorites is the balsamic reduction that is put over the Caprese Sliders. Their sweet tea is unlike any tea I have tried and their desserts rival any around. If you are looking for locally owned, made from scratch food look no further! This is the place!

Nothing tasted homemade here. If you like chain style Italian restaurants you may like this casual pasta/pizza joint. The food tasted like it was all pre-made Sysco. The bread tasted like frozen pillsbury crescent rolls? Not a fan. The sauce tasted like it came out of a container. We had clam and linguine pasta - way overcooked with way too much fake lemon juice. We also had a sausage sandwich- the bread was fine for 5 minutes then tasted rubbery (what I suspect happens when a pre-made bread is heated/microwaved?). Our son had the pasta and meatballs. These meatballs are a far cry from homemade- they are definitely Sysco or similar food distribution company- they tasted like half a dozen other nasty buffet style or hospital meatballs. Again, pasta overcooked. Service was very nice and friendly. Would not go back because this is not the quality of food our family enjoys. However, if you like Macaroni Grill or Olive Garden- you may enjoy this restaurant with your family. Young kids are welcome.

Forget Olive Garden, this is Italian with a capital "I." Located in a space that has a great history of good eating (Hoffbrau, Armadillo Willies, Geralds), Adrian has a tradition to follow, and after our first visit, he is on his way. On our 2nd try, the weekend of the balloon race, we were able to get in early without a wait. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and the food was hot and tasty. By the time we finihed there was a line waiting to be seated. The food was hot and well seasoned. The calamari crisp with warm sauce, the pizza was huge, and thin NY style...we took about 2/3 home, the calzone was stuffed and large...took half home. The only questionable dish was the eggplant rollatini, it was a bit over cooked, but it was still hot, rich and cheesy...I ate all of it, once it cooled some. Bottom line, with downtown in a revitalization period, parking is lacking so be prepared to walk. Going at peak time , be prepared to wait and when ordering (especially on your first trip) be prepared to take some home. Yes, we will be back.

We went to Rotolo's when they first opened and weren't really impressed, but decided to give it a go since we've marked off Bubba's (they received a C rating from the health dept.) for pizza. It was smaller than we remembered, but the staff was nice. We ordered an appetizer of garlic balls (12 pieces of dough cooked in a garlic/parm/olive oil ) which were served with marinara sauce, very good and a Greek Salad, not really Greek, but O.K. They ordered a couple of pizzas (small and a large) which were way too much for two so I ate some while waiting for my Eggplant Parm. The pizza was both saucy and cheesey in a good way, but a bit scant on toppings (at 1.99 per extra, we count count the onion pieces and there were about 3 or 4 onion ring layers cut into quarters, about 12 to 15 pieces). I ordered the Eggplant Parmesan, which was late to the table (had to ask twice after pizza was served and told it was coming out "right now"). It was good, but at $12, I'd appreciate more in the boat than 2 slices of eggplant and a pile of spaghetti. But, that's OK, you learn to navigate the menu by trial and error. One thing I did notice. As a no drinker (on the evening) the entree price apparently included the tea and soft drinks since they were not listed on the tab. The bottom line, will we go back? Yes, we won't wait as long to return, but it won't be our "must go to place" on the weekend.
