Pizzo's Pasta & Gourmet Foods — Restaurant in Town of Delhi

A Disappointing Experience at a Promising Venue

From the moment we entered the dining area, the experience was underwhelming. The atmosphere was devoid of any music or ambiance, and instead evoked the sterile feel of a hospital waiting room. Unfortunately, cleanliness was an immediate concern: trash was visible under the tables in the back corner, additional trash sat openly on the outdoor tables, and we were dismayed to find flies in both mine and my husband’s water glasses. Our salad plates arrived with visible crumbs and crust, raising further questions about basic hygiene standards.

The menus themselves contained noticeable typographical errors—small details, but ones that reflect the overall lack of attention to the dining experience and even would of resulted in an additional charge if my guest wasn’t a toddler who “gets free pasta always” he stated.

To be fair, the individual who appeared to be the owner or manager was welcoming upon entry. However, our server seemed unfamiliar with the menu and unable to provide meaningful recommendations or insight into the dishes.

Our meal, which totaled $106, included one small plate of shrimp, chicken parmesan, and chicken marsala. The portions were modest, and due to our initial experience with flies, I opted for a canned seltzer water as a precaution. While we attempted to enjoy the food, the discomfort of the environment eventually led us to cut the meal short and leave early.

As for the food itself: while most dishes were forgettable, the Alfredo sauce stood out as the one redeeming element—it tasted authentically prepared and offered a brief glimpse of what could have been a much better overall experience.

Given the high price point and the many issues we encountered, I unfortunately would not return. This establishment has potential, but it needs significant improvements in cleanliness, staff training, and ambiance to live up to its “gourmet Italian and...

Oh my goodness! I happened into Pizzo’s by chance and had an unexpected soul nourishing experience! I started with a fantastic Chicken Picatta! Fresh pasta, I mean he cut the dough that he had made right in front of me! Tons of capers, delicious sauce, just great. The plate was completely clean after I finished! Sopped it all up with his garlic bread. So good, that I had to ask for a 1/2 plate of shrimp scampi. Fresh Fat shrimp! Succulent! Perfectly cooked! What a delicious indulgence! And if you think the food sounds good, you need to meet the people behind it. What a talented, kind, humble, gracious and lovable family. I cannot recommend more. I mean, this takes cooking from scratch and fresh ingredients to a whole new level! I am taking my wife here and then my parents and then I’ll drag whoever I can to eat there ! I need many, many excuses to return! Thank you for a memorable experience....

Not sure why this place gets good reviews. I’ve only had their sandwiches so maybe their pastas and stuff like that is good? $20 chicken sandwich was bland, dry and SMALL—hell, there was only mozz on half of the tiny sandwich. Lived in NYC half my life so i know what a $20+ sandwich at an Italian shop is supposed to be like and this ain’t it—sorry folks, don’t trust the high reviews. They need to get their shit together to live up to the good reviews the keep,...
