Flavorless grease shingles is my description of their pizza. Garlic knots look wonderful, but have never had them served hot….always hard and stale tasting and even the warm brush of garlic butter can’t save them. I know they are popular, but I don’t get what all the fuss is about.

The best Italian we’ve had down here is Francesco’s.
Roberto is Giovani's younger brother, and he owns Roberto's.
