“ I'm very picky about my pasta; even in Italy, I sought out only the best places. Recently, I've been craving pasta but didn't want to travel too far to satisfy my craving. Merendino Restaurant is so close to my house, and I was initially skeptical. Let me tell you, this place is amazing and truly authentic. I’m so glad I went. The staff is incredibly friendly, and the customer service is top-notch. I’ve tried three types of pasta so far: the linguine scampi with garlic and olive oil, pasta alla bolognese, and my favorite, linguine with mussels and marinara sauce. The garlic knots are amazing and the pizza oof cant even begin to describe it. Each dish was exceptional. The owner is kind and generous, using fresh basil from his own garden in his pasta and pizza. It doesn’t get better than this. ”
“ My family and I went for dine in the other evening. It's so nicely set up inside and the staff were just amazing. Rachel was the absolute best! All of our food was delicious,honestly the best wrap I've had since we moved here. The prices were also very reasonable and they offer great specials. This will not be our go to place for our family dinner outings :) ”
“ We order their Sicilian which was really good. The ingredients felt fresh and the crust was amazing. We also got the Garlic Knots, they were a little too oily and garlicky (which I don’t mind but if you don’t like a strong garlic taste these are not for you) Their regular pizza is good. Will be trying other item on menu. I also recommend having their physical menu because they have everyday specials. ”
“ Diego did an amazing job delivering my pizza. It arrived nice and warm like it just came out of the oven. Great pizza and great delivery service. ”
“ Tried the wings and garlic knots here and they were really good. I am picky about wings too, that buffalo sauce was awesome and nice size crispy wing soaking it up. I also had Chicken Marsala another time and also really good. Everything nice and fresh and staff very friendly. ”
“ Absolutely amazing pizzas. I don't know how you guys do it but I'm gonna say if you like pizza that isn't thick doesn't fall apart and tastes amazing this is the one place ”
“ The wings here were so good. I had them 2 days in a row. Oh don’t judge me! Mind yo business! 10/10 I may have them again tomorrow with some mozzarella sticks ”
“ This is a great place to sit and have a meal with a friend or family. I've been to Merendino's several times and each time I was treated with a very friendly, warm , welcoming demeanor. The staff and owners are very courteous and ready to please and serve. The food is very delicious I recommend the meatball sub with mozzarella . Their pizza is very good too and tuna wrap is as well. ”
