We started doing this when the pandemic was winding down as a way to get out with friends since we could not previously and also support our local restaurants. Each month we pick a different place or one we might not have been to in a while. We had never tried Petra, I had driven by it many times in the past and was curious as to how it was inside. Since I got to pick this month, I picked Cafe Petra and am glad I did! My wife and I were the first to arrive and when we told them we would be eating with 7 others from our club they quickly pulled some tables together. Our young server was very good, she took drink orders and delivered them to the right customers very quickly. After a bit of socializing we placed our orders and it wasn't very long and food was coming to our table. I had the Chicken Shawarma and Gyro Combo plate and it was a huge serving that also started with a nice salad. Others in our group had gyro sandwiches, salads and even baclava. My wife loved the French fries that are so crisp. The restaurant is clean and nicely decorated with Mediterranean decor, there is a big screen at one end with scenes from Greece and other parts of the region. As I said, service was very good and the servings were large enough that several of our group took home to-go boxes. We will go back in the future.

We ordered the Messa that consists of chicken, gyro, kibbi and dolma. There are different sizes... for 1, 2 or 3 persons. The chicken was very tasty with the right level of spice. Gyro was good as well. Kibbi (fried dough with ground beef inside) was delicious esp when dipped with Tzatziki. Yum! Dolmas was good too. For the price, there was a decent amount of food. Had to pack some home as we were stuffed. Staff is friendly and offered some suggestions. They have other things in the menu like seafood that we look forward to try next time.

Let me start by saying there is PLENTY of parking as it in a shopping plaza at the end. So when I arrived I came a sat at the bar and was greeted by the bartender. There was a waitress and she stated I should order a Frozen Pineapple Margarita. It was sweet so probably wouldn't order it again. What I thought was good was there was a lot of wait staff around and the menu was HUGE. It appears what every day they have a food special around $11-12. There was a good amount of people in the spot as the ambiance looks like a typical sports bar. Currently it's hot but there is a patio outside that I plan to take advantage of later in the fall. I sat at the bar and order a six piece battered wing which was around $8-9. The flavors were barbecue and lemon pepper. I enjoyed the barbecue flavor as the sauce had a little kick but was good. Now I didn't like the lemon pepper. I think they fried the wing dings and sprinkled ALOT of lemon pepper. It was so salty I couldn't even eat it. I tried dusting it off but it was too much. Wouldn't recommend. Overall all I would be back maybe to get more of a bar experience as I think this spot has potential to be at least a 4 or 5. If you're in the area I'd definitely stop in.

Here's a polished version of your Yelp critique: --- **Italiano has been a family tradition and our go-to spot for family dinners for years.** My dad's favorite dish is the **Diablo**, but instead of the angel hair pasta it comes with, he prefers to get it with linguine or fettuccine, and it's always perfect. The **bread** is a must-have, and you can even order it plain without the garlic butter if you prefer. One of my personal favorites is the **salad with tomato dressing**, which I'm convinced is made from their incredible pasta sauce - it's so rich and flavorful. The **chicken piccata** is another standout for me, and when I'm feeling under the weather, I always order the **wedding soup** - it's comforting and delicious. For dessert, the **carrot cake** is an absolute must-try. The owner is always friendly and greets all the customers with warmth as soon as we walk in, which makes the experience even more special. This place is truly a **humble neighborhood staple**, and I wish them nothing but blessings for the future. They are making such a difference in the community, and we absolutely love it here. read more

Usually for family gatherings I do all the cooking but since it's my birthday she didn't want me to have to do anything but enjoy the party with our kids and grandkid in their swimming pool. I figured pizza would make a good late lunch for the group since everyone loves pizza. Only thing is, I don't like the pizza from most of the major chains. I had heard about Brooklyn Pizza and figured it would be a good bed but we felt we should do an official pizza taste test first, so today we went over for lunch. We were greeted warmly by the folks at the counter, I ordered a 12" pizza with sauteed mushrooms and Italian sausage. My wife got a 12" with just the veggies she likes - onions, bell pepper, mushrooms and black olives. She also ordered a cannoli to go to try later. We got some drinks, a soda and an iced tea and took a seat. The restaurant is clean and nicely decorated with a few TVs but they weren't playing loud which we appreciated. After about 20 minutes our pizzas came out. They were super hot having just come out of the oven so we had to wait a bit to try them. Overall we were quite pleased. My wife said she thought the sauce was what made them more like a NY pizza, I figured it was a combination of the sauce and the thin crust. Thin crust is what we like, the only part that was thick was the edge which made it easy to hold. In the end, we sampled both pizzas and got a box to take the rest home; we basically ate a half each of the 12" pizzas! And we think their 12" is more like 13" so a generous size. We decided this will be where we order our pizzas for our party. When we got home, my wife tasted the cannoli and said it was also very good!
