My first visit to Arianna’s and it won’t be my last! Great atmosphere with all of the Christmas lights inside. Very cozy. The pizza’s we ordered were great, presentation and taste.
Nice local spot. I like the crust on the pizza. Lots of cheese . I plan to go back .
Dined in today with my daughter and felt like we got special treatment. It was a late lunch on a Saturday and it wasn’t busy. Waiter/chef was attentive and gave great recommendations. We had a Principessa pizza and some pasta. Magnificent! Not even a bite of crust was wasted! Thank you for not disappointing. I recommend for friendly people that enjoy small restaurants.
Definitely waited too long to visit this restaurant! Food and service were amazing! Salad: far superior to most restaurants - presentation was impressive and ingredients were many and abundant. This salad had 3 different greens, plus tomatoes, black olives (no pits!), peeled and sliced cucumbers, all fresh and at the perfect tempurature, not cold from sitting in the fridge all day. Dressings were also delicious. The rolls! Visually unimpressive but first bite said home made Italian! Certainly not from a package. Then the lasagna came out! Large portion, perfectly cooked, tender pasta and out of this world cheeses. Ordered with marinara, which was sweet and delicate, the perfect complement on the pasta, meat and cheeses (yes, 2. The ricotta was heavenly) 😍
The waitress was friendly and attentive, checking on us often and providing everything we asked without delay. The owner/manager stopped by the table as well, providing us insight as to why the food is so good - Arianna's chef is truly Italian and this is a family run restaurant. Their hearts are in this business. Definitely my new favorite Italian restaurant. Can't wait to go back!
I've been ordering from Arianna's on Lakeside for years, but recently had an experience that moved me to write a review. After a long and rather unpleasant day, my spouse and I agreed that ordering Arianna's for delivery would be the easiest and best choice for dinner since neither of us felt up to cooking. I placed the order online, as I usually do, and after it went through, I realized it was after their delivery hours and my confirmation email was for the following Tuesday afternoon. Before I could reach out to cancel my order, someone from the restaurant called me-- I immediately apologized and suggested they cancel the order, but the employee said it was no problem, that not only would they make the order, they would deliver it to us because it was on their way home. I was so thankful for the kindness and excellent service after a rough day, it meant a lot to me. Happy to continue to support this awesome neighborhood restaurant, and I hope others are encouraged to give it a try!
My 2 year old was treated like a QUEEN. We often order takeout from here or we get it delivered. One of my fav parts of this experience is they know what we order and it takes a lot of the pressure off of the call! Food is ALWAYS cooked to order and it is always FRESH, HOT and DELICIOUS!
On this particular night my husband was in traffic so I had to run in unexpectedly with my toddler to pick up. I was met with bright smiles and so much hospitality! It is truly refreshing in a day in age where people barely speak or make eye contact.
My little one was admiring the dessert case and Mr.Tony was incredibly kind and let her pick a dessert to take home! She chose a decadent piece of chocolate cake.
The kind person up front (who also answers the phone) noticed my hands were full and helped us out to the car with kindness and respect.
The Queen reminded us over and over again while holding and eating her cake, "MINES!" She felt so special.
This little spot has won over our hearts after many many nights of winning over our bellies! Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our family!
We picked a random 4+⭐ restaurant from Google Maps before our visit to see the lights at Lewis Ginter and were very happy with our pick! We ordered a pizza, sub, a salad, and a kids meal, and all were rock solid. We had no waiting for a seat on a Friday night (which sometimes worries me), but the takeout activity was next-level. Most of the tables were occupied by the time we left. We will certainly return to Arianna's!
Great food and service. Hope to go back sometime. Just so you know.. wonderfully accessible for wheelchair to get in and accommodating place to sit, but my friend could not get her wheelchair into the bathroom. Door too narrow.
Absolutely fantastic....best Italian I've had since being in Italy....chicken parm was amazing and tomato sauce with fresh basil was perfect....salads were fresh and balsamic dressing incredible.....pizza was fresh and delicious...will definitely come back!
This place is the real deal!! Fresh, high quality ingredients. Crust made from scratch. You will not regret spending a few extra dollars on this pizza compared to other spots.
We ordered the garlic knots and principessa pizza and picked it up early.
The dough is clearly made fresh in house with a nice taste and delightful texture. High quality toppings included fresh spinach and mushrooms sauteed in olive oil. Sausage is uniquely sliced and delicious without being too heavy.
Real, tasty olive oil on the garlic knots with fresh garlic and lots of oregano.
We've gotten Arianna's twice now and the quality will continue to bring us back. Everything is made of fresh, real food. Too often I order a cheap pizza that tastes like fake preservatives and chemicals, I dont know why I ever do that to myself when Arianna's is right here! As of this review I'm just not gonna waste my time with any other pizza. Arianna's, I will return soon!!
