What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Filippi's Pizza Grotto is lauded for its incredibly generous portions and extremely affordable prices, making it a fantastic value. Diners rave about the authentic taste of Italian classics like beef ravioli and meatballs, though some find the food decent at best and not exceptional. While the casual vibe and friendly service are often praised, a few reviewers note less-than-friendly staff and some dishes not meeting expectations.
"Fantastic Italian place at a great price. Lots of cheese on the pizzas, plenty of sauce on the lasagna. The focaccia bread is soft with tons of flavor, you don't really need to add the provided butter. Give them a shot if you're curious at all, the service was also very friendly!"

"Service was good.
Portions were AMAZING.
Price was extremely cheap!
However, food was decent at best. The Lasagna was multiple pasta on top of each other with a pile of tomato on top, the pizza was also a pile of ingredients on the pizza, which felt lacklustre. Sandwich was something I could make at Walmart’s!
Overall, the service from the staff made the experience better and I was paying really cheap prices so not too bad!"
Javier Tan
"Alright, pizza lovers and pasta fiends, listen up! I just had an absolute feast at Filippi's Pizza Grotto that's left me in a state of pure, unadulterated food bliss.
We went for the combination plates and let me tell you, it was the best decision we made all week. Getting to dig into generous portions of lasagna and meat ravioli, and my wife getting lasagna and spaghetti all on one plate was like hitting the Italian food jackpot. Each one was perfectly cooked and bursting with that classic, comforting flavor you crave.
But the real showstopper? The meatball. Oh my goodness, the meatball! Forget everything you thought you knew about meatballs. This wasn't just big; it was bigger than a softball! I'm talking about a glorious, perfectly seasoned sphere of meaty perfection that could probably have its own zip code. It was a true masterpiece and the highlight of an already incredible meal.
We absolutely loved every single bite and left with happy hearts and very full bellies. We'll definitely be returning to Filippi's. If you're looking for fantastic Italian comfort food, generous portions, and a meatball that will blow your mind, this is the place!"
