This italian/pizza restaurant is one of Columbia's best kept secrets. I would recommend it to all. The service, food and portions are all excellent. It amazes me how so few no about this establishment. Their prices are Fantastic. You get a lot for your buck here and the quality, well lets just say my mouth is watering for more right now while I am writing this. If you have the opportunity GO GO GO.

I have been lunching at Tony's for as long as I have worked downtown which is about 25 years, the salads are always crisp and fresh the sandwichs are delicious and healthy. The baked spaghetti and lasagne are to die for. The service there is excellent so I am in and out quickly during my lunch break. I have not eaten breakfast there yet but I hear from co workers that is is great too.

I want to know what "tiny" means. I agree, they should have been proactive and told their potential customer they need 24 hour notice. However, having worked in the restaurant business, I know a lot of customers assume things should be a certain way and don't ask enough questions. I know I've called and asked how much it would cost to cater a meal at a restaurant and decided against using that restaruant. Did this reviewer mention the day before when they were asking prices that they were actually planning on ordering food? Probably a good idea if you want to have food for 14 people. Most people don't realize what it takes to prepare the right amount of food for a day without wasting food and also ensuring food is fresh. Also, most people don't take into consideration what it takes to actually make a living in a restaurant. Sure, the cost for the ingredients to make those lasagnas wasn't nearly $70; but, rent, employee wages, insurance, health care, etc. are quite exspensive, as I'm sure we all know.
