I hate to start off with this line but... "This may be one of my shortest reviews." I came here as…read morea speaker with a local Kiwanis division (a group of clubs.) Not my first time here but there was just so much going on around me that it was difficult to focus on the food portion of the visit. Street parking was fairly easy here and just a short walk back to the restaurant. In the middle of this vibrant restaurant with people speaking, laughing and really enjoying themselves, I get to give a speech. The funny part here was that when I got up to speak, someone having dinner gets up and says: "I know you." Appetizers came out family style. Calamari, salad, and pasta. All very good and very fresh. The serving staff did a great job supporting this large crowd. I also appreciate that what needed to be hot, was hot and what needed to be cool was just that. My main meal consisted of Chicken Francaise which was excellent. Thin tatsy-fresh pieces of chicken with a very tasty francaise sauce. PLenty of food here... No one goes home hungry. Happy to come here, very happy to eat hear and enjoy myself in a very fun family restaurant. The team did an amazing job here and needs to be recognized for all their hard work.

Best restaurant I know of. Not just the best Italian restaurant. Let me start out by saying, my…read moreonly criticism of the place is that the food is so damned good here that I tend to over-order and over-eat. Every time I'm there, I go in with the thought "THIS time I'm going to control myself". And then I do it again...., It's the only place remaining that I can't control my eating! The food is delicious, no matter what I order: meat, fish, appetizers. I could swear the air tastes better... Full menu, it's all great. Prices? Ya know, I used to say: a little expensive. But it seems that their prices have stayed the same while others have gone up, so I no longer regard Livornos as "an expensive restaurant". The last bill (yesterday) undercut my estimate by about 25%! Anyway, getting more than my money's worth at any price. You get free stuff too. They give you that pizza bread along with the regular bread. Some group vegetables at main course time. And in addition to any desserts you order, a LARGE tray of delicious fruit, no additional charge. I wish I knew where they get that fruit from because I can't find fruit in my shopping that matches it in taste. Oh yeah, also free Italian cookies. The service? As polite and efficient as I've ever seen. The owners (I think they're the owners) come around at intervals to make sure everything is okay. I've never had anything to complain about. My fingers are getting tired so I'll stop here. You've been warned.

While we waited for our table, we chatted with Tommy who worked behind the pizza counter; he was super friendly and helpful in providing us with parking information in the area Once our table was ready and we were seated, our super nice waitress Grace took our order. We both ordered eggplant Parmesan with spaghetti and thoroughly enjoyed our meals. The eggplant was sliced, super thin, perfectly battered and complimented with delicious sauce and mozzarella cheese. It was the perfect balance of flavors and a generous portion. We both took home enough food for another meal tomorrow. This was definitely our first time to the restaurant, but will not be our last. We look forward to coming back again.

We started with some hot bread. There was two different kinds, one was flat and garlicy and other was just a plain loaf. Both were incredibly delicious. The salad was next, they brought us out some extra onions, it was all very fresh. Dinner, everybody's food looked really. There was a couple of chicken parmesans, a couple of chicken cacciatores and a stuffed chicken breast. I was the one with the stuffed chicken breast. It was different from what I normally would have gotten. I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. The penne was good too, but the think the thing I was the most happy about was the red pepper. It worked I didn't have to fight with it or remove the lid to get some and it was really hot. For dessert we ordered Tartufo I couldn't eat it, but it really good.

We had read a lot of positive reviews about Selita's on Yelp and had also seen quite a few…read moreadvertisements and specials for the restaurant on Facebook, so we decided to finally give it a try. Unfortunately, Selita's failed with the first impression. We walked past a very small bar and into the dining room, which had a musty smell. The green walls, red leather tufted seats, and mirrors on the walls gave the place a very dated, old-fashioned feel. Since it was our first time there, we decided to play it safe and just order a couple of appetizers. We had the grilled octopus and the eggplant Parmigiana. The eggplant Parmigiana was tasty, but we would not consider it an authentic Italian dish. The grilled octopus, on the other hand, was a completely different story. It was incredibly tough and chewy - honestly, it was like eating a garden hose. It really seemed as though it had been cooked ahead of time and then reheated. When we left, my wife looked at me and said, "We're never coming back here again." Unfortunately, I had to agree. That's really a shame because we genuinely wanted to like Selita's. It's close to home, and we were hoping to find a new local favorite. Unfortunately, that was not the case. I suppose that's the chance you take when trying a new restaurant. Sometimes you find a gem, and sometimes you don't. Unfortunately, Selita's was a "swing and a miss" for us.

All he could do was shrug his shoulders. I love pizza and always looking for new restaurants. I guess I have to now take this one off the list.
