    I can't say enough ... food was fantastic and the owners and staff obviously care a lot about their patrons. It's nice to have pizza like I had back in my Brooklyn days! See you all there!

    Had dinner there tonight. Food was really A+. Wait staff just need to be trained a little better. Timing was a little slow, but well worth it.

    It's nice to have a place with food that good so close. I would definitely recommend it!

    First visit tonight - food was good, service was okay, had to wait almost 10 minutes before first waitstaff visit. We will certainly go back again as it was a quality meal but IMHO I do not see why most people who posted here are RAVING over the food.

    Give me Maggiano's anytime.

    I also enjoyed this restaurant. Sal, the owner, was been a bit overwhelmed with the response. He planned to open quietly to give his employees a few weeks to learn their jobs before announcing his "grand opening". He didn't expect such a big turnout so soon. He joked that one family mentioned they lived across the street and had been in the restaurant three times in the first week. He inquired "Don't they put kitchens in those houses?"
    Nice place that truly cares about customer service and being involved in the community.

    Went last night for the first time and it was yummy! Quite busy for a Wednesday night and service was good. Ordered the kid's pizza for our daughter and it came out in the shape of a fish. The waiter said different chefs make different shapes for the kids. She thought that was pretty neat. The chicken marsala was very good and so was the Pizza Rustica. We'll definitely go back!

    Have had good luck until this past Sunday when we did take out. My daughter's pizza came out a different shape from a fish -- which is find except it looked like someone had dropped it on the floor. It did not even look attractive and was mostly crust. There was some sauce and cheese sortof splashed in the middle. We took it back. For the owner's part, they refunded our money but it took like 15 minutes (while I was waiting in the car with a child that was starving and the other pizza's were getting cold).

    Maggiano's == MMMMM

    San Vito is good, but I think I like Domani a bit better... they are up next to the old Giant... and they have 50% off coupons... I like their unique pasta dishes.

    I was very pleased with San Vito. I had the traditional spaghetti and meatballs and my guest had the fettucini alfredo. Both were superb and the sauces reminded me of ones I had in Italy. My only critique is while the wait staff were very congenial and cheerful, the waitress brought out the dessert tray for us to look at while we were not yet halfway through with our meals! This was at lunchtime. However, overall, it was excellent and I look forward to future dining experiences there.

    Saturday night, take out. A pizza and a calzone - service was perfect and they were busy. Very pleased with the food and the sauce was excellent.

    It's sauce, not gravy.

    We finally tried San Vito tonight! Had a bit of a slow start - sat at the table for 10 min before the server arrived. He hadn't been told he had a customer. Anyway, he asked how long we'd been waiting, and when he found out he was very apologetic. He even talked to the manager on duty who came over to our table, and offered us free beverages and dessert. The meal was excellent, and the dessert to die for. The manager recommended that we try the dessert calzone which is not on the dessert tray. It looks like a regular calzone, but is filled with Nutella, bananas and chocolate, and served on a dinner plate, with more chocolate syrup drizzled over it, and whipped cream around the edge. All in all, they made what could have been an unpleasant visit, very pleasant. We'll definitely go back - and I'm not even an Italian food eater.

    Two more reasons I like this restaurant:
    1) The whole place is NON SMOKING.
    2) Starting in January they plan to serve breakfast.

    Went, waited, ate, watched 2 BMW's park in the fire lane for more than 30 minutes while they waited for their carry-out. I guess they not only own the road, but the fire lanes as well. I'll go back sometime. Reminded me of the time I took a bullet in Italy. The waiting was painful but eventually everything was fine.
