We made a reservation for Famoso for a date night on New Year's Eve, as we did not know how many people would be there on a night like that. We were kindly greeted at the door, and quickly realized the reservation was not necessary (there were 6 people in the restaurant). The server was friendly and prompt, and made suggestions according to our taste. We ordered appetizers and entrées based off his recommendations, and drink orders as well. A few minutes after making our drink orders, I went to the bar to change one of the appetizers, and saw a waitress grab her debit machine, a random pen, a piece of paper from her pocket, and her phone to send a text. This is important, because immediately after grabbing these items, without washing her hands, she grabbed 2 straws, by the tips, placed them in the glasses of our drinks, stirred them, and walked away. She might as well have rubbed the straws on the ground before placing them in the drinks. I was disgusted and asked our waiter to replace them, to which I received a confused look and a "why?". After explaining, he reluctantly replaced them. We ordered the prosciutto wrapped mozza balls and half ceasar salad for appetizers. The 3 mozza balls were absolutely drowned in tomato sauce, and was an adventure trying to fish them out. They were small, and very, very salty. The ceasar was also doused in dressing, making the lettuce soggy in short time. We ordered the Siciliana meat lover's pizza, with added arugula. The pizza was great and cooked well from the crust to 2/3 towards the center, but the middle 1/3 was really soggy and undercooked. I believe it was due to all the ingredients being haphazardly placed in the middle, with few ingredients being spread to the outer edges. It was underwhelming to say the least. Overall, the best part of the dining experience was notnthe food, but the waiter. The food left a lot to be desired, was overpriced, over dressed, and over salted. We will unfortunately not be coming back.

The food is just not great. The kids love it because they can play with pizza dough but the actual quality of the food is below average

I'm general I like Famoso. This experience wasn't as great and mostly due to the food. Decided to not go with a pizza this time and had a wise guy sandwich and soup. Both tasted fine but the soup was warm and the it was a cold sandwich which admittedly I thought it would have been heated (which would have made it way better). For the price is I was a little disappointed. For reference, the Bambino Italian sandwich from ripe tomato is infinitely better and less money. Service staff were perfect so absolutely no complaints there. Stick to pizza

We hadn’t been to Famoso for a while and the first thing we noticed in the Westhills location was that the space looked really beat up. The benches were completely worn out/tears in the vinyl. I could see the staff running around cleaning tables to get the next people seated but the things sitting on the table like condiments and meal specials looked sticky and very used. I enjoyed the food but wouldn’t go back because of the feel of the place.

Smelly. Untidy and “sticky”. No light at the bathroom entry. Food was very average and arrived very late due to take out orders priority.
