I've always wanted to try this place ever since it opened, but since my family and I rarely experience a new restaurant unless we're all present, my wanting to try this restaurant was on hold until we were all together. This was rather difficult at times because as a frequent visitor to Santa Fe Station, I would always smell and see the food whenever I passed by the restaurant. Also, whenever I decided to play some of the machines in the casino, it never fails, someone would always pass by with food from Stallone's which made me eager to try it even more. However, the day finally arrived on 25 Mar 2024; we were all present and ready to try this restaurant.
Since we ate here on a Monday evening, the restaurant wasn't busy at all which is always great, especially when you're starving. The décor in this restaurant is nice and it helps that it's right next to the sports area since the majority of the view from the restaurant are the giant screens to watch whatever game/race is televised. There were a respectable amount of tables/seats in this restaurant and even if the place is full, there's so many places you could sit and eat your food in Santa Fe Station.
We ordered the #45 Lobster Ravioli, #7 Stallone's Chopped Salad, #24 Calzone with Prosciutto, Pineapple, and Red Onions (basically The 9th Island Pizza, but in a Calzone form); #28 Queens Super Hero Sandwich with Lettuce and Tomatoes, special slice of pie (Pepperoni Pizza), and #5 Deez Knots. For the most part, everything was good...especially the Queens Super Hero Sandwich and Deez Knots; however, I can't say the same about the Lobster Ravioli and the Chopped Salad. The Lobster Ravioli wasn't awful by any means but I can honestly say that my family and I have had better at other Italian restaurants in this city. As for the salad, I was a little bummed that the mixed greens didn't look or taste as fresh as expected. We still ate about 50-60% of it because the flavors from the other ingredients were still magnificent.
The employees on shift were great - I was amazed and appreciative on how fast the food preparers operated. The price-to-quantity/quality ratio was reasonable and I highly respect this business for supporting the active men and women of the Armed Forces, to include its Veterans...thank you for that! 🇺🇸 If you're in the area or just in the mood to try a new Italian restaurant, I recommend this place to you. I'm sure I'll be back in the near future because there were other menu items I...
Read moreThe wait is finally over and the second location of a truly authentic New York style pizzeria has opened their doors inside the Santa Fe Station casino. You will not find anything frozen in this kitchen, everything is made fresh from scratch. From appetizers to sandwiches, from pizzas to salads and even desserts are made from scratch, wow !!! A must try!!! If you are missing New York food, this is definitely the place to go to. We have ordered their “ Garlic knots “ - very fresh and flavorful. Then we had: A “ Mega Meat pizza “ - highly recommended for all meat lovers. A “ Loaded Bianca “ and a “ Calzone Pizza 🍕 “ - a must try for cheese lovers! So cheesy and crispy crust just go perfectly together. We also had one of their delicious sandwiches- “ A Brooklyn sandwich “ - freshly sliced deli meats on a fresh daily baked bread 🥖. And for the dessert we had “ Cannolis “ - freshly made waffles filled with delicious cream and pecans / A must have, can’t recommend it enough , tasty 😋!!! Yummy!!! The portions are pretty big and they are so filling that you can’t eat it all at once. We can honestly say this was some of the best Italian food we have had in this city! Definitely better than the most popular “fancy “ places. The service was exceptional as well. Everyone was extremely inviting , happy and attentive . We have met the owner and he was super friendly, genuine and welcoming . Thank you so much for the wonderful dinning experience. It was such a pleasure meeting you and your staff. We highly recommend this a new family style Italian restaurant where you can feel like you are a family member, eat delicious Italian food and have...
Read moreWe have been eagerly anticipated the opening of this restaurant for several months. We brought our entire family to try different food options. Our order consisted of a large cheese and half pepperoni pizza, along with the Brooklyn sandwich and eggplant slider.
The pizza did have a noticeable amount of grease, it did not detract from its overall deliciousness. We thoroughly enjoyed every bite and found ourselves savoring the flavors from all the dishes we ordered. It is safe to say that we will be returning to this establishment in the near future to explore the other options available.
In conclusion, our visit to this establishment was well worth the wait. The quality of the food, despite the slight greasiness of the pizza, was outstanding. We eagerly anticipate our next visit to further indulge in the diverse menu offerings.
Update: We decided to come back a few days after our initial visit and tried a different pizza and it was still amazing and didn’t have as much of grease as the first time. This is our new favorite spot to come when we visit to watch a movie at...
