This Italian eatery is family owned, the Rollo's Don, Tiffany and Randy provide a vast arrange of food. The restaurant also have a lunch specialty for $4.00, it is a ½ Italian Combo with a pop for eat in only between 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM. To start off you can order the garlic bread with cheese for $2.75 or garlic bread for $1.50 either choice is good, warm and buttery with the perfect amount of garlic. If you want something a little more hardier order the Nachos with cheese or the Nacho Supreme. The Supreme has taco meat, onions, Cheddar and Mozzarella cheese, taco sauce, black olives, tomatoes and sour cream.

Pizza, Pizza, Pizza...try the pizzas. All pizzas crust are made from whole wheat. The crust itself is perfectly made. It has a hint of honey and the flavor is so fresh. The sizes ranges are 8", 12", 16", and Colossal 29". Price range from $3.95 to $52.00 depending on the size and the number of items. There are also Mancino's Specialty Pizzas. Mancino's Pride includes pepperoni, mushrooms, green peppers, onions, ham, sausage and black olives. Ham and Pineapple pizza is one of the pizzas we tried. It has the right amount of ham and pineapple that one flavor doesn't overwhelm the other and of course the crust complements all the spices on the sauce. The Vegetarian includes mushrooms, onions, green peppers, olives and fresh tomatoes. The Taco Pizza toppings are taco sauce, pizza sauce, taco meat, onions, black olives, cheddar cheese, lettuce and tomatoes. In addition taco sauce and sour cream are on the side. The BBQ Chicken was the great. The barbeque sauce was just spicy enough to keep your taste buds interested and the only thing I would add is just a little more chicken but the pizza was very flavorful. The final specialty pizza is the Chicken Alfredo. The sauce is just like the sauce on the alfredo spaghetti, very well seasoned and the cheese doesn't take away from the sauce. Again the best part of all the pizzas was the crust.

They also serve Spaghetti, Ravioli, Chicken Parmesan, Veal Parmesan, Lasagna and Fettuccini Alfredo. All dinners include salad and garlic bread. These plates are big portions and you may have to take a doggie bag home. Then you have the Grinders (Subs) all grinders are served hot unless requested. All these Grinders were filled with a lot of ingredients. They serve and Italian Combo which has ham, salami, sausage, mushrooms, onions, green peppers, cheese, tomatoes, lettuce and mayo. Nice and toasty . Also on the menu is Roast Beef, Stromboli, Turkey, Chicken Parmesan, Tuna, Steak, pizza, Meatball sub, Taco sub, Barbeque, BLT, and Philly. Calzones, Soup and Salads are also on the menu.

The restaurant is a kid friendly restaurant and has a kids menu. Little Chet loved the pizza and I know you will not go wrong by ordering any of these dishes.

The rating: Out of "Must Bite"(Excellent), "Bite this"(must try), "Take a bite"(hit or miss), "little bites"(go at your own risk), and "This Bites!"(sucks)...we give Lucrezia an overall rating of Bite This.
