Easy-going spot preparing Italian eats, from whole & by-the-slice pies to sandwiches and pasta.
First time I ordered the chicken Alfredo it was disgusting. It taste like old spoiled milk with like a week old chicken.. maybe because it was late almost closing and I got the last … but it was tasteless and not worth a penny, never again. I decided to give them another shot. This time I spoke to the manager I gave him my complaint which he quickly apologized and assured me this time would be better . Sure enough he was about his word . My food was absolutely fresh n delicious!!! He even gave m

Sweet staff, live dj on Fridays and the food is amazing. Everything is fresh, authentic and quickly served. I had the cemita de milanesa de res with a Jarrito, very delicious!!!! My new regular Mexican spot!! Thank you😊
Not enough fridge or hot-holding equipment to keep food at safe temperatures.
The vibrant, colorful decor creates a fantastic atmosphere. I loved my perfect horchata, the mojitos were delicious, and my son enjoyed his Jarrito. My bistec a la mexicana was excellent, as were my husband’s enchiladas and my son’s birria quesadilla! I would definitely recommend and I will be coming back!

Unfortunately my food experiences have been extremely unpleasant. Today i had gotten an order of gorditas and they were extremely dry i almost choked. It was very bland and very hard. Then another two times i had gotten enchiladas verde de pollo and as they weren’t so bad however there was literally no type of sauce on the enchiladas knowing they come with some decent amount of sauce . Overall in my personal experience i didn’t necessarily like the food.

*****Best Roast Pork and Broccoli ***** Roast Pork......Great Broccoli........Great Sauce......A bit tangy, really good White Rice.....Excellent, the Sauce was a bit thick. My White Rice was not covered in oily sauce. Thank you! Small place, plastic is still up! Too many crazy people walking around. No seating, no tables, no chairs Lady was kind and spoke with a gentle voice.

So I order from here sometimes. Yesterday I had the worst experience with them I was eating and it was a dead fly on my French fries. That’s was sooo disgusting I’ll never eat from there again and getting my money back was annoying because I took a picture of my food and threw it out and they wanted me to bring the food to them to get my money. I ended up getting my money back but I just feel like when it comes to people buying food u should make sure your facility is clean where no bugs should

⭐️⭐️⭐️ 3/5 – Decent Taste, But Some Concerns I ordered the lunch special from Foo Hing on June 10, which included chicken with broccoli, vegetable fried rice, and a drink for $13.74. I called in my order and provided my card info over the phone. After placing the order, I realized I hadn’t specified my drink, so I called back to request a ginger ale. Unfortunately, they charged me an extra $1.25 for that, but when I called again, they said they would issue a refund — I’ll be waiting to see if t

2 pizza, 2 beef patties, 1 soda. $7... thats not bad, Mexican guy is on pizza side is always cool. Always asking how is the family, even if he don't know me like that lol. But it's good small talk. The other guy on the chicken side is rude, tryin to hard, but really rude. But chicken is good too. Only thing bad is no parking, cops be out here giving tickets, and the busses also taken pictures for tickets. Druggies out here always so be careful, lock your car doors. Trust me.

Willis Avenue in the Mott Haven section of the Bronx is a landscape defined by industrial resilience and the constant, rhythmic churn of local life. Here, where the architecture feels heavy and history is written in the asphalt, Villano Pizza operates as a vital center of gravity. For those willing to navigate the trek from Manhattan or the deep reaches of Brooklyn, the reward is a culinary experience that reminds us why we look to the boroughs for the city’s soul. While the sign says pizza, th

My first time here, was starving due to an early doctor appointment but oh my god it was worth it! I got myself the waffle sandwich and it did not disappoint! The bacon was cooked perfectly, the eggs were fluffy, and the waffles were prepared amazingly! I loved the side of fruit and my Carmel frappe. Not to mention the staff was very sweet! 10/10 all across the boards. Will definitely come back to try the rest of the menu someday

Viva just opened a couple months ago and I pass by all the time and been wanting to check it out. The first thing I'll say is you definitely get great quality, fresh food, in good portions. There's another Poblana restaurant that's pretty famous in the Bronx that doesn't give you anywhere near the food Viva does. I got a carnitas torta and it was mostly carnitas and not lettuce! That's always good! The service was great and the food came out surprisingly fast, despite there being a dozen or

Love this little cafe! Brand new in the area, only around 5months old. Kind and attentive staff. Let us stare at the menu for a while and talk and served us immediately! Stopped in quick while running errands in the area. Foodie partner got a coffee while I got a coco açaí bowl (I just can’t resist 😩) Acai bowl was quickly made and fresh. Med being around $8 and large $10. I got a med and enjoyed it! All came out to around 15 Can’t wait to head back for a matcha 😉

I’m a regular here and if Karina is not there the service is really sucky for an African American only cause they think you don’t really understand. I was very specific on how I wanted my food to the man that’s was behind the counter. When I waited almost 20 mins for some fried eggs. They received an order and instead of filling the order with new food I watched the women behind the counter take my food and send it to whoever ordered because it was similar. They over charged me for food I didn’t

The pizza in this shop is not good and there is a boy working in this shop, his name is Redyan, his behavior is very bad and disgusting. I bought a large pizza. When I came home, I saw that he gave me a burnt pizza. So I took the pizza to their shop, he told me that they sell pizza like that.
