Folliero’s Italian Food and Pizza: Reviews & Ratings
Good food. Nothing fancy just good old food and it tiramisu is pretty good as well. I will definitely go back.
Food: 3.5 - 4 stars Service: 5 stars Ambiance: 4 stars Personally, all of the pastas were a bit too bland for me and had to put lots of parmesan cheese. Tasted much better with lots of parmesan cheese. This was my first visit, and I can for sure say their prices (for the portion) are very friendly. Pastas are all under $10 and main courses are under $13. The cheapest dinner we had in last few years!
Old school since 1968. We have a few hit and misses here. The spaghetti with marinara sauce is too watery but the taste was good. The regular meat marinara sauce was a lot thicker. The small pizza with mushroom was New York style with a thin crust and was very good and the dough was perfect. It's not the best food but for the low prices they offer it's worth five stars.
Came here after the USC game today with my in laws who grew up in the area. This place is a gem. I got a side of meatballs and a small pizza. The meatballs were absolute fire! The sauce is bomb and the meat is flavorful. The pizza was also very good! It can get a little packed but the decor and the vibe inside is immaculate. If you find yourself in the area definitely try it out. My mother in law asked me to post that the eggplant parm is her go to haha
Luv this joint! Food is always made fresh to order and on point! Pizza beats any others nearby
Small little Italian restaurant with a very struggling AC system. We went there a few weeks ago when we had that horrible heat wave in hopes of enjoying a bite and some AC. Let's just say it was cooler outside. Now the place is clean, service good and prices were fair. Ny bf ordered a pizza and spaghetti and I opted for what I thought was caprese on toasted warm bread. It was warm, but a very interesting item and extremely flavor lacking. Definitely not ordering that again. So the place is quaint, but not my favorite. Either way, good service.. just stay away on hit days!
