First time eating here with my family and we already look forward to coming back. The food was amazing! I had a very hard time deciding what I wanted to order because many of the meals sounded delicious after reading the descriptions. But I was very happy with what I ordered (Catalina florentine) and can’t wait to try more. The complementary bread and red sauce was delicious. Our dining experience was enjoyable as the staff was friendly and the restaurant was nice and clean. I would say this place is a hidden gem in Portsmouth, OH with excellent Italian food.

This was the first time we had ever been here, but I took my wife Kimberly there for her birthday. It was one of the best experiences we have had eating out. We had the Mexican calzone and cheese sticks and a salad. The food was absolutely amazing, some of the best food and friendly atmosphere in our area. We will definitely be going back there real soon.

It was a pleasant experience. My calzone was cold in the middle, but since I had already planned on taking the majority of it home, I didn't say anything. I would return.

My dad came up to visit me for the day so I convinced him to get a late lunch with me at BC's. I've eaten here once before with my roommate and honestly, it's a really great place. Great food, generous portions, agreeable prices- an adorable restaurant with very friendly and professional wait staff. Also the first time in a long time that I've eaten somewhere that still gives out complimentary bread. The Ravioli Grand-i-oli was super good.

First time trying this place. They give you free bread and dipping sauce at the beginning which was very good I asked for some real butter. They accommodated me very quick. The breadsticks with cheese is also good. We ordered a slice of pizza to try which is actually a pizza cooked in a triangle. The chicken fettuccine alfredo was very good also. Going back next week to try out their standard Pizza 18-in if it's anything like the slice of pizza looking forward to it very much. The cheese and crust reminds me a little bit of Pizza pub. Update: Went back to try their Pizza got an 18-in double pepperoni double cheese thin crust well done and it was awesome. Added the pizza pic.

Try the Feta pizza. They have the best tasting pizza crust that I've ever had. (Even compared to Chicago & NYC)
