Stopped in on a brief cruise stop to Victoria on a whim as we hadn’t had Italian on this trip and saw they also had chicken tenders which kids were requesting. Everything was great.

“ Stopped by Famoso with the family back in September after a day in the city, just before heading to the ferry. The staff was incredibly friendly, and our server—a sweet young lady who had just started—did a great job. We ordered three different pizzas along with other items, and everything was delicious. Even the Caesar salad stood out! My uncle snuck off to ‘use the bathroom’ and paid the bill before I had a chance—staff just smiled and said I was too late! Really welcoming and lovely people. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in the city for the great food and service. ”

She kept us well accommodated for and was polite and friendly the whole time! Now the star was the food! Incredible fresh pizza and ingredients transformed into a Tuscan vacation! We will be coming back for years to come ”
