"The last time I went to Osteria, I had a plate of squid ink pasta, covered in clams, in a sauce made with sea urchin, topped with braised octopus. What I’m saying is, yeah, they’ve got seafood. Next time I’m in, I’m going for the whole branzino, which is a delightfully moist and flavorful bass."

"Hideaway Pizza’s skyrocketing popularity led to an expansion into 15 branches since opening its doors in Stillwater, OK in 1957.

Established in 1957, this restaurant takes pride in having happy employees as it attracts happy customers, so expect great service!"

"This wonderful pizza place is across the street from the trolley stop in automobile alley. It is also a short walk from the memorial."
