What a varied menu and delicious food!! My husband and I are from out of state and visit family in the area monthly; we always enjoy dinner here each time we visit. The servers are very friendly and the food is outstanding.I would highly recommend Il Forno.

Food has always been good, but their loyalty program, destroyed my loyalty to them. First off, prior to joining the loyalty program, I had been to Anthony's in and around Florida approx 10 times. Including their original location in Ft. Lauderdale. I have taken all of my friends and family to Anthony's, and then I was offered to join the program. When you join the program, you will start to receive way too frequent annoying marketing messages, so I turned off these messages through our log in page. It turns out, when you do this, you also turn off all of the recognition messages as well. So I didn't get my birthday desert, I didn't get the free pizza on national pizza day and more. So this is hugely disappointing to know that because they decide to send emails constantly, their loyal customer don't get to receive the benefits of the program. I ordered takeout one night and was told that I had a $25 coupon available that expired in June. My father loves this place, so I decided to use the coupon in a couple weeks so I could return with him. When I returned I was told there was no coupon available. I told the manager that I was told my coupon expired in June, and I have yet to redeem any coupons through the program. Such a scam!!!! The manager took my phone number and said he would look into it, and call me back when he found out. That was 2 months ago and I haven't heard from anyone. It's obvious that they don't give a rats *ss about their customers. As a matter of fact, most of the time, I have had to call back to have them add my recent purchases to my loyalty account, because they keep forgetting to add the purchase to my profile. After hearing nothing from the manager, I logged onto my profile myself, to discover the coupon expired "2 DAYS PRIOR TO MY VISIT". Are you freakin kidding me! What a joke, so after around 20 visits total, I finally earn a small recognition of a $25 coupon, and it expired 2 days before I try to redeem it. Anthony's is a fairly expensive restaurant, but I'm going to find somewhere else, where they actually appreciate me as a customer. Bye Anthony!

Have eaten in many pizza places in many cities over the years (including NYC), and the pizza here is wonderful. Fresh ingredients and lots of them on the pizza. Many choices too. Pizza cooked in high temperature wood fired oven. Very friendly staff. Delicious thin crust. Am not sure, but prices seem higher than average, for example hot sub at $9 to 10, and large pizza with multiple toppings at $16 to 21, but it is worth it based on the quality of the food.

Found Devens Pizza through a friend and ordered subs to be delivered. The reviews that said alot of food at decent prices were NOT kidding. Subs are enormous. Enjoyed them very much. Next another sub..again HUGE and consistent, very good and also a Pizza with Pepperoni, green pepper and onion. Food delivered hot, veggies were crisp. I am not a big fan of the local chain type Pizza places but this was a pleasant surprise. Definately a cut above the others. Will be ordering from Devens often!

We were able to enjoy our dinner at an outdoor table on a lovely evening! It was our first time in the area and an acquaintance had recommended having a meal here. The menu had enough variety for us. None of us had pasta but the paninis and salads were great! You order and pay for your meal at the counter and a staff person brings your food to your table. Ice water and utensils are self-serve. Unique and delicious!

I had a very nice dinner at Luciaâs on a Tuesday evening.The wine list is extensive, but there are affordable wines by the glass- the Chianti was well-suited for my entree.The arugula salad was well-balanced with pine nuts, mozzarella, and onions. A little heavy on the dressing for my taste, but it was a nice dressing.The arancini were lovely: crispy outsides masking a gooey, cheesy inside with rice that was just the right side of al dente. Definitely a dish sizes for two.The braised beef and mushroom ragu was excellent. The beef was braised and soft, the sauce set off the earthy flavors of the mushrooms...lovely. The pasta was a little over-cooked; I like al dente pasta so that might be worth requesting.My server was very attentive, and the next time Iâm in Ayer Iâll probably return.
