Tre Ragazzi’s Italian Cafe

Perfect place to dine with friends and family. The Caprese salad is a must– huge portion-​add chicken as a meal. I prefer the baked ziti or lemon shrimp piccata as an entrée. Service is great. Seating is uncomfortable– if you are a fifth wheel, you will have to sit on a bench that runs along the length of the dining room.

My husband and I recently moved to the gadsden area and tried this restaurant. .well we now go there at least once a week. the food and service is awesome. have not had a bad meal. the baked ziti chicken Alfredo is the bomb…

This place was amazing! Great food and great prices. service was fantastic. I wish I’d known about it earlier.

The food is really pretty good, but the service ranges from bad to average depending on the evening. I hope they’ll stove to continue improving because Gadsden really needs the local restaurants.

First time patron. Food is good, Greek salad is the awesome. I had the spaghetti with meatballs, and a side salad. My hubby had the meatball appetizer with a Greek salad and he enjoyed it down to the last bite. The Greek salad is huge and can be shared. Had I known the Greek salad was big enough for two I wouldn’t have ordered the side salad to cut cost. The experience was good and our server Ian was very nice.

Went there for the second time the other night and it was pretty good. I had the eggplant parmesan and it came with a side of garlic butter pasta. Portion was a good size.

My husband and I went here for date night, first time here didn’t have to wait long, staff was very friendly and the food was awesome! We are excited to go backn

A lot of people don’t realize this about Tre Ragazzi’s, but they know what they’re doing. «Oh but I went to Italy on my sorority trip last summer and the food there was like waaaay better!», you’ll say. Fuck you. This is some of the best Italian food I’ve ever had and trust me, I KNOW Italian food. I went to Italy one summer with my frat bros and it’s totes the same. There is nothing as riveting as getting one of their pizza’s to go, chuggin’ a few 40’s, slippin’ some mickeys in some basic bitch’s drink and riding that train til Sunday morning. If I made enough money selling used cars and didn’t have a worthless family to support I’d eat here everyday and pretend I was a Don of some slick mafia. You’se guys is alright.

E X C E L L E N T food and service. Stopped in on Saturday night as we were attending the races in Talladega on Sunday. Best move we made! Prices are very reasonable when matched with quality of food. We had a great time and our server was wonderful. Every thing about this place is first class minus all the show. Best stuffed mushrooms I ever had even in Italy! Gadsen is also a very nice quite town with a rich history. Looking forward to our next visit which will be soon!

Found this neat little gem in downtown Gadsden while looking for another restaurant. While very busy for lunch, their service was quick. I thought the bread sticks were excellent. I ordered the Chicken Parmesan sandwich, which came with pasta salad. My only wish would be that where would be a small green side salad option instead of pasta salad or fries. The sandwich has more than adequate carbs for one meal. It was good at any rate, just felt like I needed a nap after all the carbs :)

I personally had a bad experience here at Tre Ragazzi’s. It was all fine until my mother found a pretty decent sized hair in her food a couple of minutes into the meal. The waiter took note of this and took my mother’s and father’s plates away due to the fact they lost their appetite. Around five minutes later, the manager came to our table and asked about the complaint. When my mother told her, she replied «We dont have any waiters that have long hair.», which I picked off as a little rude, but that is me. The food at best was okay, not worth the price. All our meals were free, due to this incident, and we left. On his way out, my father was stopped by the cook who prepared the meal. He apologized about the meal. So with that, I am giving this a 2 out of 5 stars, since the food was okay, snappy manager (in my opinion), and polite employees

I eat here quite regularly and really enjoy their salads, pizzas, and calzones.
The salads are a good value ($ 6.95), they are entrée sized and perfect to share as an appetizer. They aren’t stingy with the toppings, especially on the greek salad.
The pizza is also excellent, and a steal of a deal at Lunch ($ 5.50 for a specialty)! There is a wide variety of toppings and sauces to choose from, and many specialty pizzas that are interesting and unique. The calzones are also made with the same thin dough, which is great. I hate it when you can’t enjoy the filling because it seems like all you have is bread — not the case here! The marinara dipping sauce is really wonderful and fresh.
Having said all that, I have tried some of the chicken entrée dishes and felt disappointed each time. They all seemed to lack flavor, punch, or something. Stick with the «tomato sauce type Italian» options and you definitely won’t be disappointed!
The service here is good, it is not exceptional, but it is not bad either. I have noticed a lot of reviewers saying that the service was bad or that people were rude to them, and I would take exception to that. This is not the sort of restaurant where someone comes by and dusts the crumbs off your table after every bite ;) If that’s what you’re looking for you’ll need to drive to Birmingham. The ambiance is the same, it’s not great, but it’s not bad. It could be greatly improved by getting smaller booths — they are huge — so that people could speak more quietly and have a more cozy experience.
It’s a small local restaurant and everything does seem to be made to order, so the food doesn’t come out as fast as it might at a chain restaurant. There also aren’t that many tables, so you may have to wait if you come at a busy time. Overall this is a lovely little place that offers food and flavors you can’t find elsewhere in Gadsden (at a good price) and I am happy it is here.

I have been a regular here since they first opened. This is exactly what Gadsden needed. All of the employees there are always so sweet & the service is great. The manager, herself, is so kind. She constantly has a smile on her face & is always checking on everyone. The portions here are huge, especially for the low price, which is quite nice. I pretty much always get the cheesy bread app, then the fettuccine with sausage, instead of chicken. I will def be back again soon :)

I had the eggplant parmigiana yesterday. Delicious! Just like my favorite in California! Made me feel at home here in Alabama!!!

My husband and I ate there last night 12-​26-​2014 about 8:30−9pm. We both had the baked chicken risotto. I didnt even make it home before I was having my husband pull over and getting sick. I just figured it didn’t set well with my stomach. But then, at 2am my husband is up puking his guts up well. I believe we got food poisoning. I called the manager this morning to let her know what had happened and she basically called me a liar. Told me the food was made fresh that morning and usually food poisoning doesn’t hit you that quick and blah blah that they did everything right and maybe I just had a virus or it was something I had ate earlier in the day. Well, I may considered that if my husband and I didn’t eat and get sick off the SAME thing! She was very rude, dismissive and inconsiderate and made no effort doing right by me. I won’t return and she didn’t seem to care she was losing a customer.

Visited here again, and my companions had the Chicken Marsala and Sausage & Peppers. Rave reviews on both, and that’s saying a lot considering that one of them is super picky about everything she eats. My pizza, as usual, was excellent. Everything these people serve is homemade and freshly prepared upon ordering. Delizioso!

I have eaten here 4 – 5 times and it has been excellent except for occasion in which my food was not cooked properly. However the manager was quick to give me the meal for free due to the issue and I would gladly eat there again. It’s the best Italian Gadsden has to offer.

Best meatballs I have ever had. Pizza is great, best in town. Chicken Piccatta is phenomenal. Great place, great restaurant, great people.
I wrote this review in order to balance the reviews out. Upon reading the other reviews, the low ones did not give this place a fair score.

Had pizza & calzone. Good food! Tiny restaurant. Most had to wait for a table. Couldn’t figure out the booths! They should’ve cut the tables in half & made the seats people sized instead of fit for giants. They were hard wooden benches with an uncomfortable lip on the edge that digs into your legs. It was so stinkin loud in there that I couldn’t even talk to my husband. I could hardly eat my food because I just felt like I had to get out of there from all the noise! This says a lot considering I’m an elementary teacher, and I’m accustomed to craziness! Not a good experience.

Great food, and friendly service. Have had their pizza, pasta and calzone, all were excellent.
My only suggestion, an online menu for take out orders.
