“ We had a wonderful family dinner at Grand Ticino in Birmingham. The food was delicious and service was friendly and fast. We will for sure be going back! ”
“ Outstanding place! Delicious food and great service. Came strictly because of the reviews and I hesitated to go because it was farther down 280 than I wanted to go but I am glad we didn’t turn around. I would agree that this is a hidden gem and I am glad to give them a 5 star especially on how they treated the table next to us. We had no issues with our order but the table next to us did and they did everything to make it right and went way above and beyond in a way I’ve never seen. Their food was under cooked and they were going to leave and they pulled out the true customer service card that no one uses anymore and offered to make them something else on the house. The other table stayed longer than we did enjoy the delicious second meal and became extremely satisfied. I was impressed all around with our meal and then to watch them correct a mess up like this was truly remarkable. This restaurant has it all. Great food and the ancient tried and true customer service still remains here. Definitely a rare breed in the industry and I would highly recommend this place without a doubt. ”
“ First time to dine here. We arrived a little before 6 on a Friday night. Glad we did because business picked up at 6 for sure. The service was excellent and the food was very good. Happy hour is until 6 for those of you that like to take advantage of the early bird specials. We had the mozzarella sticks and chicken parm, and shrimp and grits. All very good. Of you haven't tried this place, it's worth a try for sure. ”
“ Fantastic! Amazing! Phenomenal! My husband and I have made this our go-to spot for celebrations and treats. We always feel like family when we walk in. Edwina is the BEST at everything she does. Yall go see her and try the shrimp and grits! Yum!! ”
“ I love this restaurant. It’s so freaking delicious like y’all better get something from this restaurant. I know it’s probably coming off so aggressive, but I don’t care. This is good. Spend your money cause it’s gonna be worth it at the end. My experience was so good that I went around telling everyone about it and they went there and they said it was fantastic so I will hundred percent recommend eating this again and I 100% recommend this to 1 million people if I could, I will try. ”
“ This is one of our favorites. Very conveniently located to Chelsea and Hoover and Inverness and Vestavia, it’s an affordable Italian restaurant with high-quality food. The service is really good, everything on the menu is great, the place is beautiful, it’s just loud. I understand that it’s hard to dampen the noise at a restaurant, especially a popular restaurant, but it’s just something that takes away from perfection at this particular spot. We will continue to come here and continue to praise the food and service, and even prices, the volume level just had to be addressed.our party had pizza and eggplant casserole, and Caesar salad and bread pudding, All of which were fantastic. Our server did a great job keeping up with our drinks and making sure we had everything we needed. Great experience! ”
“ Small place with a neat shop. It got very hard to hear because it was completely full. Caprese appetizer was awesome. Tomatoes were incredibly fresh. Cheese sticks were good. Basil aoli dipping sauce with cheese sticks was a twist. Chicken burrata was really good. Chicken Parmigiana was good. Pizza was huge and was good. Desserts were fantastic. Peach cobbler was one of the best I've had. Chocolate rush was a chocolate lover's dream. The salted caramel ice cream on top was incredible. Whiskey cheesecake was incredible as well. ”
“ We had a party of six for lunch. We arrived and were promptly seated. The facility is nicely furnished, bathrooms are clean and service is friendly. We had the mozzarella sticks as our appetizer and it was prepared perfectly and served with basil aioli. Bar and kitchen service was quick and everything came out as we had ordered. The pizza was covered with quality ingredients and tasted great. The star of the lunch was the short rib cannelloni. Wow this has some serious good flavor and textures. I'll definitely be going back to get some of that. For reference one of the servers told us Wednesday is half price bottles of wine. We will definitely be going back! Urban Cowgill December 2022 ”
