Italian Express: Reviews & Ratings
WOW. I'm shocked this place isn't busy! The food is incredible the pizza is thin and delicious cheese. The pasta was a perfect al dente and the meatballs have got to made in house. So good! Was skeptical at first because it was empty but this is an incredible example of don't judge a book by its cover. This place smacks. So kind as well! Tbh, I like the fact that we had the place all to our selves! Good music too haha Thank you Italian Express, we'll be coming back!
Open til 3am. My fave pizza is garlic chicken!!! Then there are the garlic cheese rolls. Yuuummm!!! Pasta so good. They have a surprisingly good and plenty selection!!!
I have ordered here before but never this dish. The chick parm pink sauce spaghetti. Didn't care for the chicken, it tasted like a big chicken nugget, not bad, but just wasn't what I was thinking to get, but let's get to the good part - the LOADED and WET pink sauce spaghetti. I'll be back for it. Very yummy. Very creamy. Very heavy and hot upon delivery. A great one on the menu for me, def a fav.
THEY ARE FINALLY OPEN INSIDE!!!! Ever since covid they have had their inside seating closed and after a long 4 year wait the inside is finally open for the holiday and on indefinitely. This is my favorite Italian spot ever and the inside seating is so cool with the windows seating coming out close to the sidewalk at a point with the perfect view of your street parked ride. Always open late, pandemic, riot, catastrophe, rain or shine, they will always be here to serve home made Italian dishes late into the night and into the wee hours of the morning.
My absolute favorite vodka pasta in town. The vodka sauce is thick and creamy, huge portions that allow me to have 3-4 meals out of one! I add the grilled chicken which is super tender and flavorful. Service is fast.
The next best thing to heaven! Open all the time, everyone there is extremely friendly, food is cooked fresh, always delicious no matter what I order (my favs are all meat pizza and my kid loves chicken fettuccine but we love everything??)
Ok this place is by my job so I have only Postmates orders never been inside but this lasagna and chicken and shrimp fettuccine is to die for The lasagna is very meaty. The sauce is very meaty. It's very good lasagna. The chicken fettuccine and shrimp added is so good and the meat portions are huge. A good value is $30 but it's good. It's worth it. I'd recommend it anyone.
I decided on this place for a date night. We did take out, I'm not sure if they do dine in from the looks of it. I got a chicken parmigiana in spaghetti and garlic bread. I'm not going to lie, the garlic bread was a little thin and possible a little over baked for my liking. The pasta was massive! An entree to feed 2 and still have left overs. Very accessible parking around the area and there's a couple other restaurants near it if you're looking for safety and a new date night place. Not sure I'd be back here but glad to know this is an option for something quick, reliable, and delicious. For that it's 4/5 stars. The garlic bread is what's keeping me teeter this between a 3 or 4.
