10. Gina Maria's Pizza
Reviewed By nancyb890
The website would not let me complete an order online. I called the store and they didn't know why but they took my order over the phone anyways. This place was recommended by a co-worker and the pizza was very good. Nice location, conveniently located in a strip mall on County roads 6 and 101 in Plymouth. Friendly employees as well. Nice pizza option over the other locals.

A group of us went on a Tuesday evening. The daily special was 1/2 off a bottle of wine. I had the seasonal ravioli that was cheese and pea stuffed ravioli with a portabello mushroom cream sauce that was delicious. Others had the spaghetti and meatballs that were enough for 2 people. The pizzas also looked very good and I was told were very good. The meal came with fresh warm bread and oil and balsamic vinegar drizzle for dipping.The mixed drinks were a bit on the high side for pricing but overall a great dinner.

Location is about the only thing positive to say about Spasso. The food is mediocre at best and the service is absolutely horrendous. This is the second time with different waiters (both guys) that just give absolutely terrible service. They act like they donât want to be there and it shows. I had the lasagna which was ok. My wife did have a pasta dish which she liked but it is hard to overcome the terrible service. At the end of the meal the waiter dropped my credit card in my glass of water and said âI am not going to get thatâ. Didnât bother to say sorry. Did he think I wanted to drink it after I had to fish it out? He should have gotten it out and asked if I wanted a new glass of water but his obvious laziness shows and that would be way too much for him to handle. The food just isnât good enough to justify tolerating such terrible service.We are very sorry that we dropped the ball on your evening. We are constantly striving to improve and hope to make our guests enjoy their complete experience. So we are thankful for the feedback and we will look further into your review. We will definitely be talking about this situation and training staff on how to improve. Please feel free to email our manager, Amanda at [email protected] and we'll do our best to make it up to you!

What a restaurant! I've never seen anything like it - so fun. We had good service, the food was excellent and abundant! Although you pay for that abundance... It was very pricey for two people. They suggest that you can enjoy the left-overs, but for tourists that doesn't work out so great. The quality of the food justified the price, but we were paying for an extra potion we didn't need. I understand the whole family theme and why they make you order that way, but it did make it awkward for a dinner for two. But if you're a larger group, this place would be an excellent choice. Get the pope table!One note - probably the best marinara sauce I've had (or at least among the best). Which to me is a great sign- if they care about sauce that much, it bears well for other dishes as well.Thank you, patrickd747, for the terrific review!

We stopped in on a Saturday for dinner and they have happy hour until 6pm, so we opted to sit in the bar and enjoy some cheap eats and drinks to start. The tuna crisps looked devine and the steak tacos (2) were amazing. Both are sort of single serve apps. We shared some edamame. My husband ordered the miso glazed salmon for a meal - WOW! At first I was a little offput by the $34 price tag, but it did not disappoint. In fact, Iâd pay for the recipe, as it was probably the best salmon Iâve ever had. It came on a bed of stir fried grains and was FABULOUS- highly recommend!

I moved away 2 years ago so now back visiting I had to have dinner here. I always get the same pizza - the mimi. It is fresh mozzarella, grape tomatoes and basil. I also like the salad with blue cheese. But it was cold today,so pizza. The service is fast, polite and pleasant. The food is amazing.

Had a great experience getting a lunch. The menu items were explained by the staff and even salad samples were offered. We had the salad sampler, which was delicious and the hot Italian was very good as well. Again, the staff was very courteous. The woman server (unfortunately, I didn't get her name) gave us a free dessert for our date. Definitely would eat here again!
