The only reason they didn't get 5 stars is that they were out of a couple of things (didn't affect our menu decisions).

The Sons of Italy is similar to a VFW or American Legion. It's a very non-descript banquet hall with a kitchen in the back and a bar. It also looked like it had a downstairs but I didn't go down there. The staff couldn't have been friendlier an the food was absolutely top notch and served family style. There were three courses: pasta with pork, salad with oil and vinegar dressing and green beans cooked with garlic, potatoes with rosemary, and chicken Marsala. Dessert was provided by the hosting party. The hall comfortably sat about 80 people and there was a lot more room to be had!

I know it was only take-out but what an amazing experience!…read more The online ordering through the restaurant website was really easy and it gave me a coupon for $5 off a purchase of $30. I was shocked at the 45 minute wait time for some chicken wings but, I saw how busy they were when I go there. I loved the atmosphere when I walked in. It was busy at the bar and restaurant but no one was waiting for a seat. That's a great sign. Immediately, I was asked if I had an order. I told the gentleman I could wait but he went back and put a rush on the wings. Within 10 minutes I had the wings, and an apology for how long it took. Although, it was well before my 45 minute pick up time. The parking lot is a bit cramped but there's not much room to expand. Besides, they have been there since I was a kid. The wings were so good. They came with blue cheese, celery, and carrots. Overall, this place is well above 5 stars. I can't wait to dine in and visit the bar side. Great service and I hope they stay open for another 40+ years.

Party On Dude Pizza Topped with fresh mozzarella, pepperoni, pepperoncini, Greek oregano, and basil. It had a nice spicy + tangy kick that made it really flavorful. The crust was a little burnt in some spots, giving it a charcoal bitterness that actually blended into the overall flavor. Stracciatella Mozzarella Comes with house-made mozzarella, prosciutto, tomatoes, toasted bread, and olive oil. Caesar Salad Big portion with house-made Caesar dressing and lots of Parmesan. Super flavorful at first, but honestly a bit too heavy after a while. Overall: great food, but expect it to be VERY busy. No reservations, fast-paced service, and the staff were clearly rushing the whole time.

We were seated right away by the friendly staff, and our drink orders were quickly fulfilled. The Italian menu is extensive and from our choices, delicious.

The atmosphere is cozy, wait staff friendly, and the prices resonable. I recommend Bud's for a meal or a stop at their well stocked bar for a drink.
