The portion of chicken park in the creamy vodka sauce was huge. The chicken stack had a plentiful amount of prosciutto and was crispy without being dry.

Such a Disappointing Experience at this establishment. It…read moreall started with the negative energy from the hostess as soon as we arrived with our two young kids, a one year-old and five year-old. I understand that not every place is child-friendly, but this is a pizza place! We are excited to introduce our kids to a variety of cuisines from a young age, and we thought pizza would be a good choice. They aren't chicken fingers and fries kinda kids . The food was decent; I wouldn't go as far as to say it was the best pizza I've ever had. However, the meal was overshadowed by the hostess's attitude. Throughout our visit, she kept glaring at us every time one of the kids made even the slightest noise. It felt incredibly unwelcoming. To make matters worse, they do not provide high chairs. When we mentioned that we'd still like to stay despite that, since our one-year-old can sit in a regular chair, it felt like a battle just to get one. It was clear that the hostess was eager for us to leave. Our meal felt rushed, as if we were being timed on how quickly we could eat. Her continual glares were uncomfortable, especially since we were seated right next to the hostess stand. It's unfortunate how much a bad hostess can negatively impact a dining experience. I genuinely hope the management realizes this and considers better training for their staff. Overall, this experience made it clear to me that I won't be returning. They really need to work on creating a welcoming environment for families. Especially because of the town they are located in.

It was a snap to get here from the Meadowbrook Parkway and they have a very convenient parking lot right on the side of the building. We came into a very comfortable venue, took our seats and was joined by our waiter immediately after sitting down. Loved the fact that there was really nice music in the background. I am so tired of hearing loud techno while trying to enjoy my meal. We started with some delicious toasted bread (I should have known better) and ordered shortly thereafter, (We had already reviewed menu at home.) Our dinner consisted of: Appetizers: - Mussels in a garlic / white wine sauce - Mozzarella caprese Main Entreès - Shrimp Scampi with linguine - Chicken Cutlet Parm with linguine - Chocolate Cake - Italian Cheesecake Everything was wonderful. My wife loved the caprese while I thought the mussels were amongst the best I ever had. (Best were in Bruges, Belgium) The Chicken Parm was thin, crispy on the outside with tender meat and the Shrimp was fresh and tasty. All this was followed by wonderful desserts with hot coffee. There were enough items on the menu to make me want to come back. On another note... I was a little surprised to see another Yelp review from a fellow Elite member which was not so favorable. Not sure how you can go from one extreme to the other but sorry to read that the experience was not as good as mine. KUDOs to the Team at Molto Bene.

On top of all that, we've never felt such a strong Christmas spirit like we did in this place--the atmosphere was warm, festive, and truly special.

Our waiter was helpful and experienced, and the kitchen was fairly prompt. There was also some quirky ambience, for example, a motorcycle hanging on the wall. All things considered, a very good choice for traditional southern Italian cuisine at a family oriented neighborhood pizza/restaurant.
