Pizza
Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.
Italian Cuisine
The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.

Best meal I have had in a long time! The waitress, Rachael, was the greatest! Smiles, laughter, conversation. We asked her a lot of questions since it was our first time there. We were told the pizza dough and the pastas were made fresh every morning. You don't get that many places anymore, and trust me, you can tell the difference. Unfortunately she did not make it easier for me to choose what to eat, she said it was all good! Our starter was the 'Sweep the floor' Cheese sticks. OMG these are a must! When we first got it, I thought it was a pizza, since everywhere else is those little stick/breaded things. A twist from their original cheese sticks, they add pepperoni, bacon and a blend of Italian and Greek cheeses. It was SOOO good! The marinara on the side was perfect with it! Took about half home. $8.49 For me, I ordered the Eggplant Parmesan. Came out heaping full on one of those boat dishes (the ones with the handles on both ends and about a foot long) with a stick of what looked like fresh made bread on the side, little slit along the top. You have a choice of Spaghetti noodles or penne noodles, I chose the spaghetti. Cooked perfectly, noodles still had a little bite to them like they are supposed to. I added tomatoes to mine which gave it a little more acidic kick. I could not even eat half of it after the cheese sticks. I was painfully full when I left. Drink: Sweet tea. Smooth not bitter, perfectly sweetened. A++ to whoever made it. Brian had the Bacon Cheeseburger Calzone. The thing was huge! Image a medium pizza you get at most places, folded over in half with the fillings inside. It was that big. It also came with the marinara sauce. Again, I don't think even half was eaten we were so full from the cheese sticks. Drink: Sprite (Sprite is Sprite. Not much to comment on here :) ) $8.99 On our way out, we spotted what looked like an ice cream bar near the front door. Turned out to be that Italian cream stuff that I don't think I have ever tried. Rachael let us try the Strawberry which she said was her favorite. Not to sound repetitive but that was SOOO good too! A lot of flavor, just sweet enough, more creamy/fluffy than ice cream. Strawberry, chocolate, caramel, and I can't seem to remember the other flavor :( (Brian just told me it was Mango) Our bill with two people, after tip, was $45. Little much for two people but the food was so yummy I did not care. When I heated up my eggplant later it was no where near as good as fresh, but I still ate it all. The Cheese sticks heated up were still beyond perfect! They don't have delivery at the moment but Rachael says it is in the plans for the very near future. I HOPE they deliver out to my house or I will have to make regular trips into town just for those cheese sticks!

Fresh local ingredients from cage free Louisiana chicken wings to fresh homemade pizza dough. Whats not to love? The pizza is delicious and the calzones are big. Always trying something new when we go and haven't been disappointed yet.

Great salads and pizza.
(3)Amy B.
Calzones are the BEST. Big & stuffed full of flavor- will not disappoint. My fav is "Pesto Marguerite". Great for a fairly quick lunch with my co-worker. Love how you can keep your cup to go (hello sweet tea)! Try the "sweep the floor" cheese sticks (but be prepared for heartburn). Waitstaff can be hit & miss...mostly good overall.
(5)Edna L.
The sweep the floor cheesesticks were really good. My husband enjoyed the chicken alfredo. I had an italian club. I'm not used to it being served warm, so it was a little oily. Overall we had great service and I'd like to go back and try other items.

Went there for lunch with co workers. Never received my meal. I watched everyone else finish theirs. Told the server several times about my meal being absent and the only response was, "The kitchen messed up. It'll be a few minutes". Was still given a check for a meal I didn't receive. The manager appeared completely oblivious and out of her element and was deferring responsibility to other employees. Would give zero stars if it was an option.

Me and my wife brought our children and got the meatball calzone, meatball dinner, spinach and artichoke dip, and some pizza. WOW. This food literally knocked my socks off. There's also a small bat you can order out of, and although they don't usually do white russians he did a double for me anyways (and strong like I like it.) They are going to get rich off of us.
(5)David L.
My friends and I spend too much time there!!!! Lol we love the food and the staff!!! Only wish they stayed open later... We tried almost everything on the menu, VEDDY GOOD!!!!

I came here a while back, twice unfortunately. The worst service I have ever seen. Once the waitress dumped off our food, we never saw her again. This was both times. I had to hunt down someone to get a refill, and yell behind the counter to get someone out so we could pay the bill. The staff is completely absent. Greasy, below average food. I wouldn't go back if it was free.

We ordered the chicken parm and it was really good. The sauce is very rich and tasty and the chicken portion was plenty for a meal (even a bit left over).

Like I said before, I love Rotolos pizza so I had to give them another shot. I think they've finally turned the corner and are hitting their stride. Service was great -- our waiter Ryan was super friendly and around when we needed him; food was back up to par and could tell it had been prepared with care. I'll have to come back at lunch to check speediness when busy, but must say that I'm extremely happy to add this place back to my line up. Will definitely return as my go-to pizza place in Lake Charles.

Food is okay, but service is horrible to colored people. Literally every time I have came they gave me horrible service. Last time, I ordered a Philly Cheesetake (which was a bad decision. It wasn't good) and I asked the lady how big the sandwich was. She told me "it's a sandwich". So ofcourse I tell her "yes I realize it's a sandwich. We already got past that. I'm asking for the size". And the lady wouldn't give me a straight answer. And when I see her in other tables, she was giving all the white families great service.

Ate here on Sunday, service was good and our waitress was attentive. The food was really great. Liked the location as well. It was a nice setting, not too loud. We will definitely be back!

I was born and raised in an Italian neighborhood and we have been to Italy so I think I am qualified to review Italian food. Let's begin by saying pizza is classified as Italian. We had the Combination pizza and it was nothing like I had before. I would bet they use their sauce on their pasta. The crust was very under baked to where it was paste in the middle and very thick. Very little cheese with none in the center. The ingredients were good except the mushrooms were over baked to a crunchy consistency. My Italian ancestors are rolling in their graves. No resemblance of Italian. An appetizer, 2 soft drinks and a imitation pizza for $33.00. NO!!! Oh. The 2 stars are for the service. Friendly...
(2)Brad B.
Great service, very good food and there's usually a $2 draft special. It's priced a little on the high side for what it is though.
(3)Jared C.
Food was ok. Nothing to make you want to go back. The meatball app was good but would be better served with some kind of bread. The Calzone was decent at best. Nothing memorable. I may go back one day but not any time soon.
(2)Alan Y.
Awesome calzones and pizzas. The Spinach and Artichoke Dip is great too. Nothing really to complain about. I enjoy the Sweep The Floor Calzones and Appetizers. Definitely stop by and enjoy the food.
(4)Tara K.
Chalmette cheesesticks!! The main reason I always go back!!Sweep the floor anything is good .. Never really impressed with the pastas( not much flavor).Food is always fresh and service great.
(4)Tania D.
Passing through Lake Charles and happened upon Rotolo's. Very friendly staff and smelled great upon entering. My husband and I went off the recommendation of our server and got the Deluxe Combination pizza and Cesar salad. It was very tasty and everything was fresh. Would definitely recommend.

Like I explained in my previous review it is hit and miss with this restaurant and yesterday was a hit. My date and I started with Bread sticks and marinara sauce. Personally I wish they had been more garlicky but I also eat raw garlic like most people do salt and pepper. We then saw cheese sticks on the menu and HAD to try them. We ordered the sweep the floor cheese sticks. WARNING! It looks like a thin crust pizza! My date and I were confused when we first got it. It is so good though! The bacon is NOT bacon bits from a bag! You can taste that it's real bacon. It smells like cheddar cheese and bacon fries. And was so good we almost didn't get a picture of it! Lol in fact it was so good we recommended it to the table next to us. Then I had a Greek salad it's really great with the balsamic vinegar dressing. However, when I hear Greek salad I think synonymous with greens, tomatoes, red onions, cucumber, carrots, kalamata olives and feta cheese. However out of all of these only lettuce tomato olives and feta was present. That was disappointing. My date ordered a sandwich, I believe the Italian meat. He liked it a lot. I didn't taste it so I won't review it. I ordered the garden Alfredo. I was looking for a pasta with a variety of vegetables and it was sadly the only option that was not a salad that had more than a couple veggies in the dish. So the run down was penne pasta with Alfredo sauce topped with spinach, mushrooms, red onions, and tomatoes. When eating it I got a nice mouth of veggies to balance out the heaviness of the pasta and Alfredo. My problem with my dish was that the Alfredo was far too watered down. If I had to guess, I would say that the Alfredo was at least 75% water because it dripped off my pasta like water would; so when eating my pasta that's all I tasted, pasta. Either the pasta wasn't strained well or the sauce was over watered because it was soupy. Our ticket came out to $50 after tipping the waitress 10%. Hoping to leave on a good note, I ordered the caramel and raspberry gelato. My date ordered the caramel and cookies and cream. It was delicious! Just the way gelato should taste! The waitress was very energetic and friendly and easy to talk to. She was quick and full of suggestions that didn't disappoint! Our visit was definitely an improvement from my last but there is still room for more improvement when it comes to the food. I'll certainly be back for the sweep the floor cheese sticks and gelato!

Best Pizza in Town!!! Wide selection of topping and sizes to fit anyone's desires. Quick and friendly service make the meal that much more enjoyable. Perfect place for family night or going to grab a beer on tap to watch a game.

I spent a month in Lake Charles and ate here a number of times. I loved their Spaghetti and meatball dinner. The service was always good and the atmosphere - nice family type Italian eating. It is a clean and comfortable place to bring your family.
(4)Mark C.
"Sweep the Floor" cheese sticks are awesome and very reasonably priced. The service is always prompt and friendly. They also have gelato for dessert and it's awesome.
