“ I arranged a lunch in Anniston because i had folks coming from Birmingham and Atlanta. My initial lunch spot did not open for unknown reasons, so we searched for an alternative. Effina's was excellent! They have a big menu with lots of wonderful choices! Everybody was more than satisfied with the taste and amount of food. I loved my calzone! The service was also excellent! We were a reunion type group and we asked the waitress to take our photograph. She cheerfully did and took several terrific pictures! Everybody had a fun time. Excellent. Next time this will be our first and only choice! ”
“ So so so good! They start you off with delicious bread and a garlic/oil mixture to dip the bread in. The bread tastes homemade. Every dish we ordered was (and always is) delicious. We will definitely be back. We ordered: voodoo pasta, lasagna and spaghetti. Server was super nice and attentive. Also, small detail, but the sweet tea was perfect! We loved everything. ”

“ The food and service were great! Rose made the best dirty martini she was very attentive and outgoing. The food was delicious, we started with the fried mozzarella and a side of cesar salad. For entrees we got 2 chefs specials, the New Orleans Snapper and the Scallop Scampi and were impressed with both! Would highly recommend. My favorite was the fried mozzarella! ”
“ Don't let the eclectic appearance detur you, the food is fantastic. The selection is excellent. And the service was awesome. I had the chicken roting, it was delicious. ”
“ My mom and I are visiting Anniston and we are so glad we checked this place out. Our server Cindy was amazing. She was very kind, helpful and you can tell she really cares about her customers. We looooved the garlic and olive oil with the bread that was brought for a starter. If you like garlic it's magical. Both of our meals were delicious. I got the mushroom ravioli with Alfredo sauce and my mom loved her pasta. We both had a delicious glass of wine. We definitely recommend this place. ”
“ Excellent food all Around! Very reasonable prices for food and drinks. Cheese bread and calamari appetizers were on point. I like the classy tables. I had the veal Parmesan and it was good. Maybe not excellent. But good. My buddy got the lasagna and it was good also. ”
