    I know I am definitely coming back for tiramisu again. Pastas were amazing too , we added grilled shrimps to them which tasted better than fried shrimps. The service was quick and we loved the family style vibe there. Amazing hospitality and straight up traditional pastas!

    Christmas Eve a total bust. A revised menu consisting of only a few items compared to the menu you would expect. They ran out of potatoes!!! At 7 pm. Only had ziti . Never again. Seems something is amiss. Cutting corners? New owners? Don't bother going during holidays. Or at least make sure you know what menu you're getting.

    Fried calamari, delicious!

    I went to Cafe Tivoli for a 50th birthday party and was pleasantly surprised. Usually the food suffers greatly at events where many people have to get served but every dish I was served was good. They started off with a charcuterie plate, pretty normal and average; not great not bad. Then a simple salad afterwards. Penne vodka came after that and it was very good. Clearly they know how to make this classic a dish, delicious sauce and well cooked pasta (they could have easily overcooked the penne when making it in big quantities). I ordered the shrimp scampi out of a few choices we were offered. Although I thought shrimp scampi came over linguine, they served it on its own with potatoes and string beans on the side. Despite this, it was cooked very well and the garlic sauce on the shrimp was very good. After that they finished off serving everyone ice cream goblets, simple but who can complain about ice cream! Overall a great experience. I will definitely give care Tivoli a try again!

The place has been nicely updated and kept fresh with tasteful renovations without loosing its local pizzeria restaurant touch. Service was delivered with a smile and it was good to hear about the original owners Mr and Mrs Franco. My son and daughter had to have a NY pizza in NY - but stated this was better and without the hefty cost and the crazy wait My personal favorites from the past are the cheese pizza and the mussels, and the sausage and pepper heroes This time only was able to eat the pizza since we had already had dinner, honestly it tasted great . Unsure when I'll be back but will definitely make a stop. For reference had gone to school in NYC for 9 years and had plenty of Rays or other NY pizza and Franco's was always my goto. And currently living in Az -- I have enjoyed pizzeria bianco but know what it is like to miss some good old fashioned pizza Thank you Mr and Mrs Franco for the memories

Typically not a big "restaurant at a hotel food guy" but the experience and food here we're both pretty good. There's a nice choice of seating if you prefer a bar experience or a sit down restaurant experience. We chose to sit down restaurant experience. Our waiter was very friendly and quite attentive. After mulling over the menu we were set for dinner. My colleague had the fillet mignon, medium rare with mushroom and Bolognese sauce. I got the rigatoni with eggplant. The dinner starts out with two rolls and butter. Be sure to ask for a choice of rolls as it appears, there are three or four different options to choose from. They were OK, not warm, a bit on the stale side. My colleague enjoyed the steak saying it was tender and filling. It was juicy and had a lot of flavor to it. The overall feedback was positive. My rigatoni was Al Dante, perfect! The red sauce was just right. Not too sweet nor too tangy. There was a fair amount of eggplant and balls of mozzarella cheese. I added Parmesan cheese sprinkled on the top. Every bit of my meal was eaten. Not all meals include a salad. The filet did include a salad. I had to get a side salad. The salads were a bit small and lacking variety but overall OK. Overall this restaurant is a good choice.

The wife had ravioli, and I had the seafood linguini. Mussels, clams, shrimp, calamari tossed with perfectly cooked pasta, in a light tomato sauce. Perfect!! No need for dessert, we had doubletree chic chip cookies in our room! Service was friendly, timely, average. The next morning we are in the same room for breakfast. Totally opposite....terrible buffet...service non existent....nice waiter, never around. It's a buffet, had to ask for silverware, had to ask for coffee, had to ask for check....
