This was my first time at Liliana's Italian Kitchen. I had read great reviews and looked forward…read moreto dining there. My wife and I met with some family members for lunch this past Sunday. There were other people there. The hostess and waitress were very hospitable. I ordered the lasagna with a side salad, and my wife ordered the chicken modiga. We heard the portions were big, and that is the truth. My serving of lasagna was about 4 inches square and about 3 inches tall. Multiple layers of pasta and meat and other yummy stuff. I ate about half and took the other half home. My wife's chicken modiga was also huge. She got two breaded chicken breasts and a pile of pasta. She ate about half of one chicken breast and brought the rest home. The chicken breast that she started eating was great. Nice breading. Nice lemony sauce. The next day we reheated our leftovers. We each got some lasagna, and we split the chicken breasts (I got the whole second one and she got the one she started on the night before). The lasagna tasted as good as the first time. This is what I noticed on the chicken breasts. The whole chicken breast tasted like it had a rubbery side to it. I suspect that particular chicken breast had freezer burn on the one side. The other chicken breast was perfect. I had my wife try my chicken breast and she agreed, kind of rubbery. I don't know if this is a one off thing or if this happens often. As I stated this was my first time there. That is why I am taking one star off for my review. Other than that chicken breast, everything was great! I will eat there again. I highly recommend the lasagna.

Really good menu of sandwiches, pizzas and pasta's with great appetizers. Toasted Ravs were three stars and the sauce was five stars. The sandwiches and service exceeded five stars because of the cheerful server and good beer selection too. A definite must-return to spot for dinner.

Two long term friends and I met for dinner & drinks here. We were dressed casually and I felt we…read morewere fine, but most of the diners seemed dressed for a semi formal date. Not having been here before I had called ahead and asked for a table close to the entry as one of our party has an illness and not as mobile as he'd like. I was pleased with the table that they had reserved for us and the hostess didn't mention why we got that table, imo that was classy as I had hoped they wouldn't bring it up. It just looked like we got lucky and got a table a bit larger than needed and near the front without being obvious. We had drinks brought out and I had the amore spritzer suggested by the server. It was larger than expected and fairly strong, great taste. The other two drinks were just standard gin & tonic and a beer. All three dinners were excellent: my lobster ravioli, calamari, and chicken Romano. The house salads were very good, as was the shared slice of cheesecake that ended our dinner. The food & drinks were excellent, the server was great interacting with us and doing some give and take, and it was not overly expensive. In cost this would be a 3 out of 4 or a 3.5 out of 5 if the top number was higher expense for a restaurant. Without a doubt I would go back on a date if I was looking to impress.

The service is prompt and helpful, the portions are generous and it is very inviting and comfortable in the dining area. Everything seemed fresh and prepped on the day it is served and the wonderful tastes of everything we have tried so far is superior to many other restaurants. I am not including any chain store, fast food or literally not-even-Italian places like.. well, I think you know which ones I mean. If you want real food that is real good and you don't want to break the bank, Giuseppe's is the place to go. And don't forget, they cater as well, so if you have an event or a party or any reason to order a large quantity of Italian goodness, pleas do yourself and your guests a favor and order from Giuseppe's Lunch and Catering!

The rich creaminess and unique flavor of the Provel shines since the crust is so thin, which is the beauty of this style of pie so to me, this was excellent.

We went to Roberto's last night, July 9th with friends of ours for a birthday dinner. We had a…read moretotal of four people. We requested a quiet table which the hostess had acknowledged when we got there so she selected a table for us stating that it would be quiet. Only for 15 minutes into the meal, a table of eight were seated right behind us, including a baby. It became very loud and difficult to hear our conversations. Our waiter Steve was obviously new. He was extremely quiet hard to hear and very nervous and unconfident of himself had to look up several things and ask other people questions and got back with us. when we ordered our food and we received it, my friend had asked what was inside of her chicken dish and he did not know And had to go ask, and the answer still was very uncertain and did not look like what it should have according to the menu. The food itself was OK but really honestly nothing to rave about haven't been to the restaurant in years and we were excited about celebrating a special birthday and we were all very disappointed not only in the food, but the atmosphere and the quality of service we received. At this point, I would not recommend it again, unless the owners would like to call me and explain why we experienced what we experienced. My name is Karen and our reservation was for July 9th at 5:30. Hopefully the owners will call us back. The overall experience was very much below our expectations.

Before discussing the food, let's talk about what's most important, and that's our waitress Eve. Our table of four had many questions regarding food as well as wine, and Eve had thoughts and recommendations for everything. It was a pleasant change from other servers when Eve had some recs for things that weren't the most expensive items on the menu (we've all experienced the servers who only recommend the top dollar plates). Eve listened carefully to what we wanted and had appropriate and mindful suggestions. Eve knew all about the wines and helped us pair properly per plate. The rest of the staff that crossed paths with our table were kind and helpful as well. As for the food... the Truffle Agnolotti was as to die for! Omg. Amazing. Full of flavor yet not heavy. It was the star of the table. Lastly, we were impressed with the selection of appropriately priced wines by the glass.

My wife had the Shrimp Scampi. Huge shrimp (at least U10) and huge flavor. Couldn't have had a better experience. Will be going back soon. By the way, our companions noted how packed it was for a week night. It's that way for a reason... great food, excellent drinks, attentive service, and a wonderful atmosphere. You just have to try it.

My hubby added more spice to his tour of Italy but he said it was fine. My salmon was delicious. I love the garlic butter sauce that used to top it off. Their salad is always one of my favorites. The bread sticks, I wish the were left in the oven 3 more minutes and tossed in more garlic butter. For his, Tour of Italy, I wish they had a container with 3 separate sections instead of dumping it all in one. Nothing taste bad and it's a place we would very likely return to.
