Italian Cuisine
The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.

As someone who frequented the Deer Valley location, I was ecstatic when Times Square opened a location across the street from my house! I try to come here at least a couple times a month, because I'm always craving their delicious food. I'm never let down when I dine at this restaurant. Food is outstanding, along with the customer service. Try coming in for breakfast also, because it's terrific!! There is something for everyone to like here. Prices are reasonable, service is friendly, and the food can't be beat. Welcome to the neighborhood, Times Square, you're an excellent culinary addition!

This place rocks. The food is amazing and the customer service is amazing. Our server Greer was on top of the customer experience not only for us but for the entire dinning room. Try the mozzarella stick. Omg amazing. The price is perfect and you get an amazing amount food. Love it.

Hubby and I really like this place. Not only is it in a convenient location for us, but they also have really good food for great prices. Their Margarita pizza is my absolute favorite. It is so flavorful, with tomatoes, basil, olive oil, and mozzarella cheese on a fresh thin crust dough. It is one of the best margaritas I have had in a while. Last time we went, we also ordered a big house salad to share, which I really enjoyed. The portion was big and the salad was fresh and the dressing was delicious. We have also had breakfast there and it has been consistently very good. We have never had bad service there. Everyone is always nice and accommodating. They even let us sit in an area they kind of had closed off for the day. Will definitely be going back.

I have to be honest. I didn't expect much from this place located in a busy strip mall but it was so close to my house I felt I should try it. It has become my new favorite Italian place of all time. I've been here at least 10 times and I've never had a bad meal or bad service. The chef even comes out periodically to see how the food is or ask for feedback. And the prices are very reasonable. I will continue coming back as long as things don't ever change.

I eat dinner here a lot with my toddler son. Slices of pizza are $1.50 so I don't have to flip out when he decides he won't eat it. The staff is amazing. (Very nice in a friendly comfortable way ) I tried the bloody Mary build your own bar this morning and I liked it. Not fancy but decent and close to home. The salad and pasta dishes are priced too high for the quality coming in at around $15 so I stick to the pizza.
(4)Harmoni P.
I've been to the 7th St. Location as well as the deer valley location. The new one is much larger and cleaner, but still has the diner feel. The food is pretty tasty and are very reasonably priced. Although I've tried a few things, my favorite dish has to be the pollo marconi. It has great flavor with a delicious sauce. They also serve breakfast everyday, serving traditional diner eats, like chicken fried steak - I recommend. Overall decent local place to eat when you don't want to go far!
(3)Paula E.
Nothing like a local family owned Italian place! They serve breakfast lunch and dinner here and it's all good! Recent visit with a friend who had never been before was better then ever. Homemade gnocchi very flavorful and garlic bread perfect. Huge portions for leftovers the next day. Since turning on my friend with this local find she has been back once or twice already. Well worth the prices and friendly service.
(5)A B.
Very good and fresh food. Service is efficient and super friendly. The highlight of my lunch was the cheese steak sandwich special with onions, peppers and mushrooms. The bread was toasted to perfection and everything within it tasted super fresh. The french fries were also to die for. In the past, I have had the chicken piccata there which was out of this world. So much for them calling themselves a neighborhood Italian joint, Times Square is truly a gem and I really enjoy their cuisine that has never missed a beat.

Have been to the Deer Valley location quite a few times and heard about this so decided to try breakfast on my Birthday here because DV was very crowded Saturday AM. Friendly greeting and quick seating by the host. Quite a bit larger than the DV location, too. Waitress was very professional and took our order quickly. Good portions and it was very delicious and served hot. Had the K special with bacon, sausage, eggs, hash browns and toast, and all orders were prompt. Wife had the chicken salad which she loved and it fit her no egg diet, too. We'll be back to try dinner here in the near future. My wife even complimented how clean the bathroom was, and she is picky. Ha
(4)ROD E.
I eat at Times Square restaurant every week, at breakfast, right after I work out at the gym next door. The food is fantastic, but most of all is the service I get from the waitress named Teresa is first class. She is friendly, and always gets my food fast and keeps my coffee cup filled. The food is good, but the service from Teresa is the best.
(5)Purple K.
Love this hidden Gem! Grier the bartender us the best! We sat at he bar and tried several things.. The wings, Bruschetta and streamers ... They were all top notch
(5)Nicole P.
I finally tore myself away from the original location long enough to try this one, which opened about a month ago. I couldn't be happier, this location is everything the first location is, and more! It's bigger, newer, just as friendly and every bit as tasty as the original. Everything from my original review applies to this location: yelp.com/biz/times-squar… Thank you, Times Square!!!
(5)Jessica C.
Had the wings very good spicy and crispy. A friend got a sub sandwich very big portions.

I thought about writing this review for a while now, I rarely write negative reviews, but I honestly cannot refer this place to anyone . Went to Times Square for a friend's birthday celebration, it was on a Sunday at 12:30pm she had a nice turn out of maybe 17 people. Our server was Teresa; she was extremely rude and somewhat combative. I arrived around 12:45 so it was 15 minutes to one, after checking out the menu the only thing I looked forward to having was the cheese steak sandwich with peppers & onions, I told Teresa that I would like that, and she said no you can't, it's not 1pm yet (it was 12:50 at this point) and that I would need to order something now, I told her I don't know what I want , she said ill wait here till you tell me so I can get these orders in. I felt rushed into something I didn't want and didn't understand why she couldn't take orders from the rest of the table and come back around after 1 (by now it was less than 9 minutes away) She then proceeded to tell me that it wouldn't even be possible to order it at 1pm because they (the cooks) need to clean the grills and everything so there would be no cross contamination. Said something having to cook the peppers and onions and that wouldn't be done until after 1. I was not happy. I told her I was not ready to order yet. I really hate having a craving for something to find out you can't but scanned the menu and ordered the Mediterranean salad, mixed greens, artichoke hearts, tomatoes, pepperoncini, olives, roasted red peppers, cucumbers, red onions & feta cheese. Sounds good right? Nope, it wasn't, everything was soggy wet, I didn't need to put any dressing on it, the artichoke hearts & roasted red peppers tasted as if they came out of the can/jar wasn't even rinsed or dried off, the feta was soggy, the entire salad was just miserable. After rude service and horrible food I just wanted to get the heck out of dodge, I asked for my check, I had the cash out ready for when she brought it to me, I gave it right back to her, she then placed in on the table, walked away for about 10 minutes came back handed everyone else there checks, ran all of the credit cards gave them back there checks, they signed their cards in left, I was the 1st to request and to pay but had to wait for 15 other people's credit cards to come through before she even went to get change for me. I didn't complain to the manager because it was my friend's birthday, but I will never set foot back in that place, just soo rude. Save your time and money and find somewhere else to eat.
(1)Meagan G.
Awesome!!! Everything is amazing!!! Best pizza and wings!! Pasta!!! Drinks!!! We eat here once a week!
(5)Alex P.
So this place is awesome. The food here is great. I get the Philly each time I go here and have never been disappointed. The star rating would be a 5 but the price (over 8 bucks for a sandwich) got it 4 stars. Don't get me wrong the food is awesome even for the price. The service is also friendly and nice. The staff greets you quickly and your food arrives on fast and hot.

Was looking for a good place to meet my family halfway from Glendale and decided to try out Times Square due to low prices and good sounding stuff on the menu! I feel pretty neutral about this place. I wouldn't really want to go back, but i wouldn't refuse to come back. It was pretty empty when we went, probably because it was a Monday morning! Was not really a fan of the decor, it reminded me of old people . But that isn't really important! The service was not bad either. I ordered a Spanish omelette with rye toast and home fries. They gave me hash browns instead with my omelette, I told the waitress and it took quite a bit for the home fries to come out, by the time they were ready I was pretty much done. Also I ended up liking the hash browns better, but it was good she corrected that. The omelette was just ok. Didn't like that they had the cheese on top of the omelette, cheese belongs inside an omelette haha. Home fries were meh, hash browns were the best part by far. My sister also let me have a few bites of her pancakes which were pretty good. Also was not too pricey and the portions were good which was an advantage. Just was not a memorable restaurant. Food was ok, not amazing. Look was kind of drab. Service was pretty good. Overall ok, not great not awful.
(3)Johan E.
The good part was the food and the rest was pretty bad. I had a calzone. Good stuff! Perfect price. Wife had some kind of pasta seafood dish. Waiter was great. Here is where it all falls apart. The ambiance is that of a cafeteria. Crappy chairs. Lighting was distracting and the worst part was that they were showing cartoons on one of the tv. Let me repeat this for you. Friday night. 9pm. They were showing cartoons on one of the tv's! I was literally watching Garfield and Scooby Do! Not only that but we're listening to crappy teeny bop music. I bet Taylor Swift has not even been to Italy. How about a little Franky blue eyes while I sip my IPA and enjoy my calzone while watching ESPN!?!? Beer selection was very good as well was the wine selection. In closing, I hope the fix the ambiance to make it a little more intimate and "Italian" feeling.

4.5: Consistency is King in the restaurant world so in that vein, the King is alive and well at this new Times Square. I've been a frequent customer at the original Times Square on Deer Valley road for the last seven years. Although in all honesty, I usually get the same thing. Oh, I've tried the pasta (terrific), the pizza (excellent), Happy Hour (awesome value), breakfast (amazing) but my favorite is and probably always will be the Italian Super Sub (or Hot Italian, if you will-not that I am). This is one of the BEST sandwiches in town, stuffed with high quality meats and veggies and it's exactly like the version on Deer Valley. Not only is the food the same high quality, but the restaurant has the exact same vibe and fixtures as Deer Valley. It's awesome to see a local restaurant have enough success at one location and be able to have a second one that is about twice the size-plenty of room for everyone so don't be shy. Great central North Valley location at 7th Street next to Goodwill (used to be an Osco Drug back in the day). If you haven't been to either of the Times Squares (or as the PetSmart peeps called it, The Truck Stop), you really owe it to yourself to try it. Fantastic Italian food.
(4)Monique K.
We had driven by this place a couple times and decided to give it a try. We were seated immediately. Our waitress was very pleasant, knowledgeable, and attentive. The cheesy garlic bread appetizer was awesome! So far our experience was great and I was very excited for our entrees! Then, the entrees came out... The sauces were tasty, but the food underneath was very bland. I had the Pollo Marconi. The breading on the chicken had no seasoning and tasted like nothing until I added salt. My son had the Beef Ravioli. The sauce and cheese were excellent, but the beef inside had absolutely no flavor. My husband had the linguini with white clam sauce, and said it was good after he added a bit of salt. Overall, it wasn't terrible, but I don't feel like it was worth the price ($61 before tip).
(3)Brittany F.
I was initially excited when I first heard this location was opening. I loved the original location and have never had any issues there. We have been to the Union Hills location twice. I have been less than pleased with the experiences. The staff is not attentive, they run out of ingredients (spinach) and the food is sub par. The waiter "forgot" to put one of our orders in altogether. By the time the last dish came, everyone else was done. I would not go back to this location.
(1)Kt K.
My favorite place for Phillies, pizza and seafood. The ambiance is fabulous and the service is always outstanding. This place is my favorite.
(5)Jen T.
Holy. Pasta. This place has amazing food. Both of the dishes we ordered were amazing, and didn't break the bank. What a great find!
(5)Scott M.
The food is pretty good. The service was great. Location was clean and well lit. You have an open view of the kitchen. The salads are pretty large, so you should share with others. The tip jar at the hostess desk is tacky. Tips should be shared with the host.
(4)Lauren M.
This restaurant has become a favorite of our family's, partly because the food is delicious and affordable, and partly because the staff there are so friendly and helpful. Just last night they helped calm my crying toddler, answered questions for my 5 year old patiently, and recommended a house made gnocchi for me that was amazing. My husband tried the pasta Giovanni on our first visit, and now he will never order anything else! Thanks for being a great neighborhood restaurant!
(5)Maile C.
We just bought a house in Moon Valley and was very excited to try Times Square especially to have them as the life long diner. Very disappointed. The service was very slow due to a couple parties. This was the excuse the Manager gave as part of her defense when I asked for some sort of compensation after waiting for lengthy time for our food. The Manager could not afford an apology or some sort of discount, worse yet she argued "the food was warm wasn't it?". My reply was simple, I'm sorry your business cannot afford customer service so we just won't come back here again. To make matters worse she walked away nodding her head NO. When we were still hospitable by paying our bill and paying the tip to the waiter whom was apologetic and walked with integrity she was standing across the restaurant STILL nodding her head NO. Yelp, do you have a video tape upload option? If so, her reaction was astonishing. Experience never compensates for bad customer service, she may know what she's doing on the job but she forgets who she's doing it for, the customer.
(1)Addie S.
Tonight I visited this restaurant for the first time. My parents and sis like it. I think it was ok. I had the chicken Parmesan hero with Alfredo sauce instead of marinara. It was ok. Nothing great really. Nothing bad either. There isn't anything that stands out about this place except that the waitress forgot all of our drinks. Yep 9 people. She was very apologetic and did not charge us for them when they did finally get to us. I would probably go back. It looked pretty new and was definitely clean.
(3)MissChelle S.
I had heard just great reviews from friends so I had to try it out. Unfortunately, my experience wasn't what I was expecting. I ordered the Calzone and it came out ICE COLD in the middle... so of course I sent it back. The second one I got was just as cold as the first, even though I was reassured that it was cooked. So I eventually had to order something else... Everyone at my table was completely finished and table cleared before I got my food. I'm usually not too picky about food but because they didn't even offer to comp what I had to wait 45 minutes for...I'll never go back.
(1)Lisa S.
Love this place, the staff is friendly and the food is delicious. The manicotti had lots of spinach, which I love ! The pasta Giovanni is my husbands favorite !
(5)Michelle A.
I'm so glad this opened in our neighborhood! It's in the Goodwill shopping center at 7th St. & Union Hills. We would have completely missed it had we not realized the new "open" neon sign. It's very big inside..very deceiving from the outside. Nice choices on the menu too..it's not just a pizza place..pasta, breakfast, and plenty of seating. Nice interior with a lot of seating.
(5)Jovanka S.
I have been dying for a Tiramisu! From anywhere, really... After our some what disappointing dinner, we jumped to this nice and cozy little place next to the one we were before and we were surprised. Good atmosphere for a Saturday night, clean and neat, great welcome and just overall "good vibe" place. But like I said earlier, we were here because I needed Tiramisu! We just looked through their dinner menu and ordered 2 glasses of wine, I did the Merlot for $7 a glass and it was decent, my husband had the Super Tuscan blend, $8 a glass. The dessert was delish (or I was just wanting it too much) and the wines were nice. The bartender was friendly and talkative. We'll be coming back soon, for sure!
(4)Sherry C.
Service is a little slow however, the staff is friendly and helpful. The food portions are large and very tasty. Two cocktails, an appetizer and two entrees - cost $50.00. They have a bar with TV's so you can watch sports. (Football is almost here.... YAY!) I also went back for breakfast a couple weeks later. Service was slow however, breakfast was delish and affordable. Note: you may want to double check your bill - we were charged for an item we never ordered or received. Overall in my opinion, it's good Italian food and nice addition to the North Phoenix area.
(4)TOMMY O.
We went in on a week day night around 7 or so , walked directly to the bar , a young female bartender was working there and she was relatively pleasant to me , but not so much to my girlfriend Michelle , Michelle ordered a Shandy and after some clarification she received one , I ordered a Coord light which were on special for 2.00 , all good , we ordered some calamari as an appetizer , it showed up , mediocre ,,, we then ordered another drink , myself another Coors Light , Michelle then opted to have a Bud Light , and proceeded to order dinner , she chose the Veal , I opted for a salad , a couple of minutes passed and the waitress returned to tell Michelle they had no Veal ,,, which was the sole reason we went there , the waitress apologized and said that they had other options but no Veal , she then said to just cancel everything and we would take the check , the bartender said she would not charge us for the Bud Light and grabbed the almost full glass and poured it down the sink . I was somewhat taken back , and Michelle was stunned ,,, why offer to buy a drink to just take it away ??? Ultimately ,,, "One and Done for me with this place ....
(1)Sarah L.
Tried this place because of previous reviews, and let me just say, this was by far one of the best places I have ever been. I had the tortellini d Angelo, my god it was amazing! The server, Damion, was the sweetest and made the place ten times better. It's nice to see people who love doing their job! Definitely coming back!
(5)Carlton M.
Chicken Caeser is delicious. Didn't get past it on the menu when the other three with me all ordered the same thing. Home made croutons. Right amount of dressing. Cozy atmosphere classy enough to be a great date spot! Ample bar area for a restaurant and spacious dinning room. Server Suzy is great will be back and will try something else!
(5)Kathleen M.
To be honest I have never eaten here and never will. I live behind this establishment and they're the most inconsiderate "neighbor " one could ever ask for. So much noise so late at night....power washing, revving motorcycles, employee parties. Still continues even after nicely approaching owner/manager. Now resort to calling police.
(1)Priscilla C.
My boyfriend and i have been going to this place for a while now and they have such amazing service! The food is amazing and the bartenders are AWESOME! Lisa, Susan and Sarisse have such awesome personality and make the enviornment so much more fun! I would definitely recommend this place to my family and friends for sure.
(5)Joseph T.
Great service from our waitress Lisa R. Nice portions. I LOVED the Pasta Giovanni. The sauce was flavorful, and the sausage nice and tender. Very clean with simple decor, which created a very relaxing and comfortable dining environment. A return trip is definitely forthcoming.
(4)Dan B.
Very good food and the service was great. We had crab cakes for an appetizer and they were good. I've had better...in Maryland. For dinner I had the veal picatta. It was very good and they were generous with the capers. I will return here for sure.
(4)Jamie S.
Food is amazing! However, our service tonight was terrible! We had Damian and he was not friendly, never refilled our drinks, kept walking by us but didn't stop to see if we were doing alright, etc. Just acted like he wasn't interested in providing good service. The manager even walked by SEVERAL times, looked at our table with empty drinks and dirty dishes and kept walking. The last time we ate here our waitress Grace was awesome! Stellar service and care for the customer! For the price of the food and drinks here, you would expect better service!
(3)Meagan H.
Always great! My husband and I used to go to the location off Deer Valley, but this location seems to be less busy. Food is always amazing, as is the service. Even on a busy Valentine's day, the wait staff was amazing, attentive and could make light of a hectic situation. Their bruschetta is amazing, as is the gnocchi and chicken parm! Love that the kitchen is open, makes it a little more casual but still date-night worthy!
(5)Benjamin S.
Both locations are great but I absolutely love the new one (Union Hills). I don't think I've had a bad thing on the menu and the service is always spectacular. The 1/2 price wine bottles on Tuesday night is definitely something to take advantage of. I don't write many reviews on Yelp.. only do it if I really like or really hate a place. I couldn't resist writing about how great Times Square is!! Check it out! Highly recommend the Pasta Giovani!!
(5)Jennifer L.
We've eaten here several times, both for breakfast and dinner. Took the entire family from out of town here for dinner last night. Everyone raved about the food! 3 people had the arrabiata pasta and said it was phenomenal. Cheese steak sandwiches were good and full of meat. Bolognese sauce is good also. Dessert is a must! The creme brulee is big enough for two people and is absolutely phenomenal. The bread pudding was surprisingly delicious as well but would be even better if it wasn't loaded with raisins. Bottom line, you can't go wrong at Times Square - they are family owned and make delicious food!
(5)Kelly B.
I'd call this a mini Bucca di Beppo. You know so when you sit down and are given pre-wrapped silverware. They served us our salads after a 20 minute wait, then showed up before we even took our first bite with our entrees. I look at them and said "ah no, I hope those aren't ours". They then put them up under heat lamps and then came back trying to reserve them to us 10 minutes later. I questioned them if they had been sitting under the heat lamp and was told no. It's not good to lie to your customers when they are sitting right in front of the open kitchen. Don't recommend at all.
(1)Liz F.
We love this place. We probably eat here at least twice a month. Great food, great staff, and great ( cheap) beer! What else can you ask for? I also love the fact that it is a small family owned restaurant. I love supporting local business owners. I would highly recommend!
(5)Cory A.
Time Square offers consistently good food and service at both locations. The Union Hills location is more open and offers a better seating, but could have benefitted from a better location. I have eaten at the Union Hills location three times and have twice been disturbed by screaming children. I frequently eat at the Deer Valley location which is busier and still loud but has more polite clientele. Bring earplugs and enjoy the good food!
(3)Mitch P.
I'm going to preface this entire review by saying it was Mother's Day and we were a large party. Especially because it was Mother's Day, and there were reservations, the restaurant was extremely poorly staffed. They even admitted they were understaffed which makes absolutely no sense because if you have the reservations you know how many waiters & serviced staff you need. But even if we had good service the food is mediocre. The bacon is OK, the eggs are eggs, the chicken parm was rubber chicken with the red sauce and cheese. There was nothing overly special about this food. It was not home cooked or had a flair of special ingredients or really any passion at all. Again it was very busy and I understand that the kitchen was probably overwhelmed not just by us but by the entire day. So maybe some food got heat lamps for a while and they want to bring out the entire table at once. But when you have 16 people at the table bringing all the food out at once doesn't work. And when some of that is just cold and gross and we have to send food back anyway then bringing it out all at once is moot. It is entirely possible that you might go to this neighborhood Italian restaurant and enjoy yourself. If you have medium standards for what Italian food should be , then you probably will like the food. They have breakfast lunch and dinner, and it resembles more of an Italian 'Diner', pulling that term from the East Coast. Most serious Italian restaurants do not offer french toast for breakfast on their menu. So you might see this as a one-stop-shop for many different varieties of food during the day. But the reality is it is not a coveted Italian restaurant.
(2)Cheryl C.
I love this place. I am here every Monday morning for a networking meeting and the service is amazing and great food!
(5)Sheri P.
Our new favorite breakfast place! Great breakfast for a great price. They have excellent coffee! Eaten there many times now and have always had excellent service. The dining area is very large so you never have to wait long for a table. Very clean kitchen, dining area. Bathrooms were very clean as well!
(5)Garrett M.
I love this place! Their sauces are ridiculously good, the seafood seems extremely fresh. I only have two things I would say: 1) their canolis aren't as good as other Italian restaurants; the filling almost seems chalky 2) their kids' menu has a good selection, but the red/marinara sauce they use for the kids' dishes seems considerably lower quality than that used in other dishes. Otherwise, I HIGHLY recommend this place.
(4)Brandon T.
Very, very disappointed in our server last time I was there. In fact, in all of my years dining, I'm not sure I have ever had such a disrespectful server. Not once did he ask how our meal was; he never checked in with us and it took him 15 minutes to take our order after we had been seated---almost as long to get the check to leave. He also never apologized either, for anything. For this reason, I may not return for awhile. However, the food, as always was outstanding.
(3)Kristen L.
Sat at the bar on a Thursday evening after work during happy hour and it wasn't busy at all. Maybe due to it's location or the fact that it's still really new in the shopping center. It's very nicely decorated and spacious once you walk in, sort of unexpected because of the shopping center itself. Service was prompt and friendly! I ordered a glass of Jellybean red wine blend to go with my Balsamic Chicken with sauteed spinach. I had a hard time choosing between the Balsamic and Joe's special, which looked to be very similar on the menu. The Balsamic was great, seasoned a lil strong, but still really good. It came with two chicken breasts, a lot for me, so I took the second to go. I'll definitely come here again to try Joe's special among other things like the bruschetta and pizza!
(4)Thomas F.
I'm so glad we found this place! Think the kind of food you'd take your spouse out to for an anniversary, but with Olive Garden prices. The atmosphere will leave you wanting to hang out and get dessert, but you won't have room left after all that pasta. Our service was excellent, with a staff that takes pride in the restaurant. This place deserves your Sunday best, but you won't be out of place in jeans and a T-shirt. Obviously we'll be going back, maybe this week!
(4)Caleb V.
This is a must go place! I have been a regular at the Deer Valley location, and this lactation is just as good. Same great food, and same great people! This location has Moscow mules also! Excellent drink! I have never had a bad item from the menu! I typically get the fettuccine primavera or pollo marconi...been hooked on those ones for a while! Soooooo delicious! The lasagna is great, pasta emiliano, pasta giovanni, rigatoni alla laura...and so many more. You cannot go wrong. Great pizza, and you can order by the slice! Their breakfast is equally as good! Their French toast is my favorite! Save room for their breaded pudding...It is the absolute best! Times square is a must try. Both locations are great! Union Hills is a larger location, but still small and friendly! Come in and try it out! I guarantee you will not be disappointed!
(5)Melissa P.
We ordered the Spinach Linguini (take out)... this dish was nothing but linguini and a few pieces of spinach and maybe 3 small pieces of chicken. I'm appalled the cost ($13.95) of this dish considering it was only pasta. The only reason this review gets two stars is because the flavor was decent. This is our second time getting ripped off by Times Square! We were willing to give them a second try but regret it. WE WILL NOT BE BACK!

My husband and I have decided to try and eat our way through the whole menu!! Every dish is DELISH!! We've had several different servers, and they are all so friendly, and go out of their way to make you feel like you're their only customer. Shout out to Drew and Lisa....service with a smile and a funny comment. You need to try this place, I swear you won't be disappointed.

Tried them for breakfast. Prices were good, Food was "ok", but service was terrible. We were seated by the hostess and waited and waited and waited for someone to acknowledge our presence. Finally, just as we were standing up to leave, a server came over to take our drink order. (Not the place was NOT crowded or busy.) She made some excuse about the not seeing us, though seated right at the end of the main walk way. Our orders were taken and the food arrived. Again, it was "ok" - eggs cooked correctly, hash browns tasted good. Then we "tried" to pay our bill. Our server took my card and left. Again we waited and waited and waited for her return. Finally, I started to look around and to find her. I watched her take an extended order at another table, bus another table, then go into the kitchen and chat with a coworker. When I finally got up and started to head her direction she returned with my card. Maybe it was a bad day for them, but first impressions are everything.

Eh, nothing spectacular. A little over priced. Tasted ok but made my stomach hurt really bad after eating. No thanks on ever going there again.
(3)Martina W.
Food is amazing, especially for the price. Atmosphere leaves a little to be desired, especially for a new restaurant. But the service rocks. Looking for a great family restaurant in the north valley? This is it!

The local Italian restaurant has a full bar and nice menu. Afternoon happy hour is only good in the bar area so if you are interested in the happy hour specials sit at or in the bar area. I tried the veal parm and it was over cooked. The food is very average compared to similar restaurants that serve the same type of food.

Woohoo! As good as it gets.

This place lost two new customers due to a lack of accommodations for very simple culinary exchanges. I mean c'mon! you are an Italian restaurant. Adding a protein to an existing dish and switching out a few ingredients cannot be that hard for your simple minded kitchen. I worked in many styles of service with many different types of food and never had an issue like this. Way to lose out on a customer before they even in your door. Off to Joey's Bistro it is

I wouldn't classify this place as an Italian restaurant. It is more like an east-coast eatery. They serve cheese steak and beer and oily garlic bread and chicken wings. Stuff like that. My polla al limone was different from how I've had it prepared at actual Italian joints. The lemon flavor was almost imperceptible, and the sauce more creamy than normal. Also too much garlic. They probably don't realize that they are supposed to bread the chicken, and then saute the mushrooms in the same pan with the breaded chicken. That's how this dish ends up with a "creamy" sauce. The breading sort of comes out into the oil, while the mushrooms let out moisture, and it turns out great when prepared in this manner. There is not supposed to be any actual cream in it, but Times Square just pours in the cream. I dunno, I'm just not a fan of really heavy food or sports-bar-type food. It would be OK if they would market themselves as an east-coast eatery, rather than an Italian restaurant. Other than that, the prices are normal and the service is good.

Absolutely delicious italian food , excellent staff , perfect for breakfast , lunch , and dinner . Been going here for 5 years , at least 3-5 times a week , and they just opened a location on 7th st and Union hills . Great happy hour menu too . Enjoy !

They get four stars from me. Ate there a couple of weeks ago and enjoyed the meal. My wife odered a dinner and I had a small salad and ordered a side meatballs and sausages. Also ordered a side of garlic bread Despite the service complaints on Yelp our server was great! My only issues were that bread should be complimentary and wine prices. Why can't a resturaunt have a basic wine selection at a reasonable price. I would certainly go out to eat alot more, especially Italian, if I didn't have to pay an arm and a leg for a couple of glasses of wine. I can get basic 1.5 L bottle of wine for well under ten bucks....that would be good enough for most people. Save the better stuff for those who will pay the price but a reasonably priced wine will get me coming back to eat.

All 3 courses were delicious! Staff was friendly. Atmosphere is a little confusing... Italian/sports bar and grill?

I brought my sister and her boyfriend here for their first time.. I had been to the deer valley location with my parents so I thought we would give this location a try. Well, our experience was not very good. Our server Damion seemed friendly enough when we first sat down.. But apparently we were mistaken. We received our food from a food runner, and he hastily set our food down and ran off... While we sat there for a few minutes with no silverware.. Damion never even came over to see if we even received the right food, let alone see that we didn't even have silverware. We had to flag him down and ask for silverware. He came back and set it down, but again never even checked up on us.. Or asked how our food was. At the end of the meal we weren't asked if we wanted dessert or if we needed anything else. We weren't asked if we beefed boxes. These are just basic duties of a server..... Anyways.. The food was good I would probably be back just hope for better service next time

I dined here after my boyfriend had previously brought home a pizza from this same place. We got some garlic bread, which was alright. And ordered the same pizza we had gotten before. As we started eating, I noticed that there was A BUG in the ranch I was dipping my pizza in. I took the bug out and put it on my plate. I showed the server and she went to tell her manager. A few minutes later she came back and told me that their ranch was kept in the fridge, already portioned. Essentially telling me that there was nothing they could do about the BUG that was in ranch because clearly it wasn't THEIR fault that the bug was in my food. The manager did not come and apologize, nor did she offer any kind of explanation. I never even met the manager. They didn't even offer to comp the meal. Needless to say, I did not continue eating after that.

We ordered a to go order and my wife wanted horse radish with her order. She got horse radish in the past when she ate in the restaurant. However, when she showed up to get her to go order, they told her they couldn't give her horse radish because they didn't have a button for it. The manager said they must have went out of their way to give her horse radish when she dined in. I guess they don't go out of their way for to go orders. The manager said the general manager would call us because horse radish is for bloody mary's only. To top it off, the order was wrong. Terrible way to test customers. I'm giving it one star because there is no option for -3 stars.

It's a fairly new place, so I think the staff on the phone doing to-go orders are still getting in the swing of things. (I usually just do take-out there) they're always putting me on hold to ask questions about their own menu... but I LOVE the food. The Pasta a-la-vodka is my favorite. But today I ordered the Chicken parm sandwich... AMAZING. The bread is crispy and delicious! I go to dine in at their 24th ave and DV location and the service is AMAZING along with the food. The food is VERY consistent at both Times Squares!

It took me a long time to eat here after hearing about it for years. It is so way out of the way for me. On the way home from a day trip up north I decided to stop by. Well, the restaurant was being renovated so they sent me to their newer location on 7th Street and Union Hills instead. ( even more out of my way) The service was amazing. Renee and staff were wonderful. However, with that said I did not think the food was all that great or matched the hype. I wonder if Pizza by the Slice is not the way to go here. My crust was burnt and hard to eat although the toppings were good. I did not like the Garlic Cheese bread very much and the sauce was bland. The Cannoli did not taste like Cannoli. Apparently, they make it different here. All in all I would not go back since it is very far away for me. My guess is their pasta dishes might be good since the place is so popular with a long wait every night.

A regular at the 1st location and they nailed it!! So happy as quality, service and ambience are darn to exact. So much larger a big plus!! Rock on Times Square, Rock On!!

We have only had breakfast to comment on. The Bloody Mary bar was great. The pancakes fluffy and the waitress was great.

I was there a couple of months ago but Am just getting around to writing this review. This place was not too bad but not great the food tasted okay the waitress was nice. I ordered spaghetti with veal. I don't know although it tasted okay something was missing I just can't place it. Kind of on the bland side. The only complaint I have is my friend and I ordered salads but they only gave us like two minutes to eat it before they came out with the main dish. Not good timing. Oh and we were there around seven or eight at night. It was so loud we couldn't hear each other we had to shout I think the acoustics are really bad. I would give it another shot though
(3)Don S.
Wonderful local Italian eatery. Good variety menu. We've tried several entrees and they are all great. One of our favorites is the pastrami and swiss sandwich. Best quality pastrami and an outstanding french roll! All the servers are quite pleasant and efficient. In short , we love this place.
(5)Todd E.
Times Square is a wonderful addition to this area. I can't say enough about the quality and flavors on the menu. The selection is excellent too. The only change I would make is to put the satellite radio on something newer. Pop from the 60s and early 70s might be retro, but for people of my generation it gets old quickly.
(4)Brenden B.
Plenty of choices to choose from. Stop by and try something. The calzone must have been really good because my dad ate it so fast I didn't even get a chance to try a bite. My linguini was amazing.
(4)Renee M.
Half price bottle of wine Tuesday! Absolutely wonderful service and dinner. Great location and friendly staff. Just as good as Times Square Deer Valley! Glad I came in!
(5)Hazel N.
Excellent calamari appetizer! Everything we had was wonderful. Our server Michael took care of us very well. The chef/owner Moreno came out to speak to us after the meal and it was very nice. The entrees were all enjoyed, but you should save room for tiramisu and canaloni.
(5)Gerald M.
Best Italian I've had in a LONG time. Veal Carciofini was fabulous. Chef Moreno has done a great job. Spinato's, eat your heart out!!
(5)Daniel L.
Very unhappy..... wanted a pizza quarter pepperoni and rest veggie... The told me they were unable to do it and that it's there policy. ... really.... policy to tell a guest NO..... are they incapable of doing it? Is it to hard to just put pepperoni on just like 2 pieces worth? Been running restaurants for 18yrs and never heard of telling a custom no when your capable of doing it....wow been going for years hear and there to the Deer Valley location but maybe never again...
(1)Diana S.
Overpriced for quantity & quality of food. Sandwich comes with nothing -- if you want fries, extra charge. I ordered ravioli & requested alfredo sauce rather than marinara sauce (additional charge?!). It also came with nothing except a piece of burnt garlic bread that I could not even eat. Most places serve a side salad with a pasta entrée. Service was slow. Overall not the worst, but not worth going back to.
(1)Anton E.
Great food, reasonable value. Certainly will take this over the pre-packaged Italian food at the big corporate guys. Staff is friendly and owners are onsite working all the time. New location is very nice at 7th St & Union Hills, lots more availability for lunch seating vs. the original location.
(5)Lisa G.
Fried mozzarella is delicious. Great red sauce. Ok Alfredo, only tried it once but it was runny, not my preference. Gotta try it
(5)Aurora A.
New location, same fabulous menu, friendly staff, awesome location. Go there, you won't be disappointed!!!
