What a find!! We were in the area for the weekend and looked up a few dinner places before settling…read moreon this one-- I was in the mood for Italian. It's not on a main road so definitely qualifies as hidden gem. The parking lot was packed, so there was a little bit of a wait, but not bad. We waited about 10 minutes and the people who came in after were told 20 minutes-- reasonable. Our waitress was nice and came to the table often. They have cocktails, wine, beer, and mocktails. We got the meatball appetizer-- incredible. For dinner, I had possibly one of the top fettuccine alfredos of my life. Pasta dishes come in "small" or "large"-- small was a perfectly fine dinner size for me, especially with the appetizer, but I wouldn't have minded taking large leftovers home!!! My husband had chicken parm which he thought was excellent. It was two cutlets over pasta. We will definitely be back next time we're in town. The perfect little spot for a date or a cozy dinner with family.

This wasn't my first time at 45, I've had a graduation party there before. However, it did remind me I have to go back more often. The restaurant itself is nice. Plenty of parking and lots of room inside of the building. They have many rooms for functions set up as well. Our waitress was Nikki, and she's fantastic. Great personality, bubbly, and helpful. I was very happy to have her! This night I ordered the chicken Loretta but had it over pasta. This was probably one of the best dishes I've had in a while. The pasta was cooked expertly, chicken was nice and crisp, and the ricotta mixture was the perfect amount of creamy. I would highly recommend Restaurant 45 to anyone who wants a great meal!

Restaurant 45 ended up being a solid local find. We passed by and decided to give it a shot, and…read moreoverall it delivered a good experience. The interior is inviting with a large dining room, and the hostess was welcoming right away. Service stood out--attentive, consistent, and professional throughout the meal. The menu is extensive, almost to a fault, but it works in your favor if you're indecisive. They were out of one of the surf and turf specials, but with so many options it wasn't an issue. Drinks were well done--the spring sangria was a highlight and worth ordering again. We started with bread and truffle-style fries. The fries were overcooked and a bit too hard, but still flavorful and a generous portion. For mains, the short rib was pretty good and well-prepared. The chicken and broccoli leaned a little heavy on the garlic but was still enjoyable. Steak tips looked solid, and the fish and chips were another strong dish. Prices were a bit on the higher side, but for the amount of food and variety, it felt reasonable overall. In the end, not a bad spot at all for a suburban restaurant. A few minor misses, but plenty of positives. Definitely a place worth coming back to.

Immediate red flag to allergy sensitivity! The waitress freely admitted to be "frazzled" which is fine as it was busy but this could have killed us!

The bacon on the strawberry bruschetta is as so hard, it almost chipped my vaneers but was pretty good! The steak tips were divine and cooked perfectly! And the Rigatoni Matthew was amazing. Our server was very understanding about our mom with dementia which was also much appreciated. We understand how busy it was in the day of our visit and are grateful that she was so accommodating Overall good experience despite the nut allergy scare and crispy bacon. Thank you again and we will come back to try again!

They offer a wide variety of drinks, prepared meals, and desserts, and the menu itself is extensive with plenty of options. I ordered three different sandwiches to try. The chicken parm was solid, though it could have used a bit more sauce. The triple decker was definitely a standout--really flavorful and well put together. Unfortunately, the Italian sandwich didn't meet expectations. Despite being the most expensive option, it had very little meat, lacked flavor, and the bread was dry. It just felt like it was missing something and wasn't worth the price. On a positive note, the Sicilian pizza was absolutely amazing--perfectly doughy and packed with flavor. I'd definitely come back, but would skip the Italian next time.

We tried a slice of pizza in the Sicilian version which had amazing taste with just the right amount of sauce. I ordered the number 80 and added pickles. I got the small size which was just enough for someone who does not eat a ton. The proportion on the sandwich was perfect and the jalapeño mayo was amazingly delicious. Parking was easy right in front of the restaurant. There was a variety of pre-cooked meals, as well as desserts, chips and a wide variety of drinks available. The menu is quite extensive with 80 sandwiches alone. Never mind the pizzas, pasta dishes and appetizers available. I highly suggest looking over the menu prior to your arrival at the restaurant or it could probably be overwhelming. I will definitely go back to try other menu items.

The sweet, smoky flavor, mustardy goodness isn't something I've found done as well anywhere else. And the fish itself was cooked perfectly. They paired the fish with the heartiness of the harvest grain side dish you see pictured. It was a huge serving, and I ate the whole thing because it was amaaaazing. My waitress was lovely and efficient, and I also didn't feel rushed. What made it a four star experience rather than 5 stars for me was the ambiance. The music was horrible--like 1980's big hair band type music. It was such a bizarre contrast to the rest of the upscale ambiance, which looked & felt more like a steakhouse. To my chagrin, it wasn't just one "off" song either...the awful selections kept coming throughout the meal. The music gave it more of a dive bar vibe, and it was so completely offputting that I left sooner than I otherwise would have. It honestly gives me pause when I think about coming again. And that's a real shame because I'd like to bring others here to share the amazing eats. I may try it again on another day. But if the music is the same, I'll be walking right back out the door.

The portions are good and the prices are reasonable compared to other places in the area. They still give a salad or soup with many of the dinners, and serve nice Italian bread with butter and olive oil. If your try this place and like what you got, chances are very good you will like it the next time because they are consistent. The only thing that occasionally varied is the steak tips. I chalk this up to being hard to determine in the kitchen, because until you cut into the steak, you may not know if it contains a lot of fat and nerve. All the waitresses are awesome. For example, on our recent visit there was a man with 4 small kids by himself. One of the children, who was very young, was really loud. The guy was trying to do what he could to keep the noise under control. I watched what was going on, and the waitress for the table (Dee who is absolutely awesome), another waitress, and even the woman who greet you and assigns a table all were going over and being nice and trying to help the guy out. That is really awesome and something I have never seen anywhere. To The Rome owners, management, and staff: Please keep doing things right. You guys shine above so many other so called great restaurants in the area.

There is indoor table seating near the counter. Order at the Amato's counter, pay at the Nouria register at the other end and hand back the paid receipt to Amato's staff. I ordered the Pasta & Meatballs ($8.99 plus tax) and a large "Amato's Original Real Italian" Sandwich ($5.99 plus tax) which was made to order and ready in under 10 minutes. I was also informed that the staff originally added breaded chicken instead of meatballs for the pasta, but they also gave me both chicken and meatballs for no additional charge. I enjoyed my food for my tailgate dinner before a nearby concert. The pasta was served hot and baked in a round aluminum container with soft ziti pasta, a soft breaded chicken tender, 2 firm meatballs (cut in halved), a good thick red sauce, topped with lots of mozzarella cheese. The "Amato's Real Italian" Sandwich lots of Italian dressing, ham, cheese, pickles, peppers, tomatoes, black olives, salt & pepper in a soft open face sub roll, which was very tasty and messy from the dressing. Amato's is still a pretty good place to stop for food, quick and reasonably priced.
