Atmosphere was great, our server Ava was spot on, and the food!! Oh my! Steaks were cooked to perfection. Homemade rolls melted in your mouth. Fresh salad and veggies, and wonderful sides. The chef makes your plate to order, and he is phenomenal. We split the lemon blueberry cheesecake (even though we were stuffed and couldn't finish our entrees.) Wow! We have finally found our local restaurant and I can't wait to go back.”

Margharita Pizza

“Giacomo makes one of the best pizzas in the Roanoke area. Tony Avelino on electric gives them a run for their money. Lol as it owned by the same people. There's a competition between who makes the better pizza. Both are spectacular. New York Pizza has been a staple and Roanoke for, at least 15 years. And I'm still waiting on the new seating area lol. The atmosphere is exactly what a New York Pizzaria should be. Great place with great people. You won't be disappointed.”

“If you love cheesecake, VISIT. THIS. PLACE. Fresh cheesecake, not too dense but not too light, and great flavors. I bought 3 slices to take home and was planning to serve them to guests, but they didn't make it- they got devoured well before our guest arrived. The service was also prompt and friendly. A family member is supposed to stop by today and is traveling from the SML area- I really hope they are bringing cheesecake from SML coffee house with them!”

“We ordered a large Supreme pizza from here. The pizza crust was really tough towards the outer edges and the toppings were at least 3" to 4" in from the start of the crust edge. The toppings were fresh but used sparingly and there was barely enough cheese and not much pizza sauce. The overall taste was alright but the price for what we received was excessive.”

Ramulose Ridge Vineyards

“I visited and explored a flight of their dry reds. The Trevini was a simple wine which is very approachable by the novice. The chambourcin was a very complex wine giving way to notes of an apple and plum pie cooked in a woodfired oven. The cabernet franc yields notes of banana laffy taffy and tuity fruity with a finish of vanilla. The Robusto gives characters of smoked meats with a finish of cherry. It was an overall great experience.”
