    Desserts!

    We have returned to Pamendis Italian Grill twice in the past couple of months to check it out again. We found everything to be improved - the restaurant is neat, clean and well decorated, the service staff are friendly and efficient, and the food back to being what we liked most about Pamendis! The basket of baked warm, crusty bread with seasoned olive oil is delicious. There is butter available, but why use butter when seasoned olive oil tastes so much better? We have ordered several past favorites and found them all excellent in flavor and portion size - Baked Spaghetti, Baked Pamendi's, and Tortellini Gabrielle. Our server kept our drink glass filled and checked on us several times, including bring another basket of bread. The manager also chatted with us, and appears to have turned the restaurant around. If you were once a Pamendis fan and stopped eating there, please give them another try. You will be happy to have our neighborhood Italian restaurant to enjoy again!

    First time visiting this restaurant. I was craving Chicken Parmesan.

    First time visiting this restaurant. I was craving Chicken Parmesan and this was very good! The marinara was a little sweet but good. Large portion, enough for another meal!! The warm bread with herb butter was delicious!!!

    We met a group of friends for dinner at Pamendis on a weeknight. It was my first time here. Our server Ella was personable, kind and handled our big table with a smile and excellent service. Several of my friends around our table of 9 have been here before and recommended it to us. We all enjoyed our meal and will definitely come again. Some of the highlights were the Lasagna, Manicotti with meat sauce, Tortellini Gabrielle with Blackened Chicken- (mine), Chicken Parmesan and Chicken Carbonara. Someone at our table actually ordered a hamburger! I am pretty biased about Italian food, so I would suggest that you order the Vodka Sauce, Alfredo or the meat sauce which had a really nice flavor instead of the Marinara. But that's just me. Each entree came with your choice of soup or a salad. We were all so full we needed to pack half our meal up and bring it home! We did order a Turtle cheesecake and a Traditional cheesecake with strawberry sauce to end with something sweet. Thank you for a delicious meal and great time with friends. And thank you to Ella, for serving us so well. If you live in the area, this is a great weeknight option for sure!

    It's hard to find a great restaurant these days. Huge hit or miss. Who wants that? This place is amazing! I walked in and my belly gave me a high five. The atmosphere was incredible. The staff went above and beyond. The food? I wish I had two stomachs so I could eat more.

    The only food from the order that we received.

Inside, everything felt elevated without being pretentious. The atmosphere was beautiful, the service was warm and attentive, and the food absolutely delivered. Every bite was flavorful, and the cocktails were just as impressive. What made the experience even better was discovering the spa next door after brunch. We took a peek, and now we're already planning our next visit--a relaxing spa day followed by another amazing dinner. It's always exciting to find a place that feels like a little getaway without leaving home.

We left already planning our next visit, and I can't wait to experience it all over again!

The lamb chops had an amazing grilled flavor, and the chef removed all the fat so you could truly enjoy the lamb; the mint sauce added an extra touch of excellence.  We also ordered the Tutto Carne flatbread (which didn't make it into our to-go bag (sad face)); it was so light and delicious.  We added the spicy oil to kick it up a notch, and boy, it really heightened our taste buds.  We ordered 2 entrees, the Rigatoni Salsiccia and the Tagliatelle Bolognese, which both taste as if someone's Nonna was in the kitchen- so, so good.  Tony, the general manager, greeted us right away and became my best friend; he made us feel welcome.  When it was time for dessert, he offered us Tarimazu, which was so light and delicious we couldn't believe it was dessert; we paired it with a limoncello and an espresso, both absolutely yummy.  We can't wait to return to Luciano and try the other menu items.  If you are ever on the cuff and not sure which restaurant to try for quality food and drinks, please add Luciano to your list; you will not be disappointed.

A nice, concise menu. We gave it a good perusal and started with a couple appetizers. Their Fried Chicken Potstickers and the Baked Feta with pita bread. The potstickers were very good, a nice sear and a flavorful filling. The Baked feta was exceptionally good. Done old school, wrapped in foil with a little evoo and sliced tomato then baked until the feta was almost melting. So delicious and flavorful. It was a great appetizer and it reminded me of my days in Italy decades ago. I saw it on the nightly specials board walking in and went for their Ahi Tuna evenings special. It was beautifully prepared, seared to near perfect and just a delicious wondeful meal. Tender, succulent Ahi sliced.

Reservations at 8, right on time. Walked in seated right away by the hostess. The standard server will be with you shortly here are your menus. Our waitress Summer had the timing down. Just as we figured out what we wanted from the drink menu she arrived. An old fashioned is our go to so two Seasonal Old Fashioned to start. We also ordered the baked Feta for appetizer. The interior is warm and open. Tables and chairs have plenty of room We sat overlooking the bar area (the bar is at a lower level). Only thing I would change is sitting at a table vs a High top. Drinks and appetizer arrived promptly. The baked feta was so good warm and creamy, tomatoes and seasoning provided depth. Summer provided the specials of the day as well as her thoughts on various entree. My wife originally was looking at a pasta w shrimp. Summer brought to our attention the pork chop - she said I know you think of how good can a pork chop be but ours is really amazing. So my wife changed her mind and went with the pork chop. I elected for the Red Fish atop orzo. Entrees arrived and wow they looked perfect. That pork chop was thick, nice crisp sear topped with apples ( sautéed perfectly not soggy). My red fish was well seasoned and tasted great. What amazed me was the spinach and tomato orzo! So creamy and subtle it complimented the fish so well. You can't have a Birthday without desert. Again Summer provided great recommendations and insights. Salted Caramel cheesecake for the birthday girl and I had the crème brûlée cheesecake cake. Both were very good not too dense and not fluff. The flavors were not overpowering so you enjoy the flies well as the taste of cheesecake. Price was what I expected, it's not bar food , priced appropriately. Remember I said reservations were at 8 ? They close at 9 and not once did we feel rushed. The staff, especially Summer treated us like the first customer of the evening. My wife digs the whole singing happy birthday , the dessert had the happy birthday message and Summer discreetly asked if she would like the happy Birthday song. They did, and looked like they had fun doing it. Awesome place we will definitely go back!

A bit off the beaten path and ponied up to a liquor store, this little gem is probably not a place I'd venture out to without a recommendation. And I'm so glad we had one. Great homemade pastas and other great Italian treats. Started off with some hot bread right out of the oven and then went for a caesar salad and a lovely gnocchi pasta from scratch..... delicious.

Free small parking lot in front. Free extra parking across the street. The total was about $150 for 2 appetizers, 2 entrees, 2 drinks, and a dessert. Pros The quiet, intimate, and classy atmosphere was exactly what I needed for my family. When we first arrived, our table was not ready and we had to wait outside. However we were given continuous updates on when the table would be ready, they apologized, and they were very understanding. Considering we were a large party in an intimate space, we understood and only waited about 20 minutes before the table was ready. You could tell the food was fresh, the orders came fast, and the service was amazing. The fresh in house pasta took everything to the next level. It was the perfect night out. Cons The establishment is intimate so I do not think it would ideal for extra large parties. I had a party of 8 at 8PM but I dont know if they could have accomodated us if it was any earlier during prime dinner time. I wish they had a better parking situation but its not bad and its free. Would I Recommend: Absolutely! I will be returning! No complaints. Follow me here on Yelp and @jessreviewss on Tik Tok/Instagram for more.

    Like dining with an Italian family for Christmas! (Idk really but everything we had was so…read moredelicious! And we had a lot!) the decor is like walking into someone's home, not bland and stuffy corporate vibes. We started with lobster bisque, nice and creamy with chunks of lobster which complimented perfectly well with our platter of dinner rolls. We order a side of marinara dipping sauce to go with the rolls, not that they need them but it's fun and we like to play with our food. So we ate the rolls either as they come with garlic butter, dipped in marinara or dipped in lobster bisque, can't go wrong with any of those options. We both go the house salad, though I wish we'd ordered their Caesar just to try it, the house salad was loaded with tomatoes, chickpeas, cucumber, cheese and a vinaigrette. There were more toppings too but just saying, loaded salad! I ordered the Chicken Rene which is "Breaded Filet breast topped with ham, simmered with mushrooms & artichoke hearts in a white wine cream sauce and served over angel hair pasta." I'd had their Chicken Parmesan before and chose Milanos with intention of getting it but got swayed to the Rene from reading the menu. There are a few other items I would like to try as well but I do love their chicken parm. Hubby usually gets the Veal Melanzane but he got swayed into one of the specials they were having which was a filet of snapper with a creamy white wine sauce over linguine. We regret nothing and are so stuffed! Oh and we went ahead and got the Canoli cake (special) to go, even though I stole a couple of bites before packing it up Our server was great! She was helpful and cheerful and helped make the experience such a treat!

From the outside, it's fairly unassuming. When I pulled the door open, it felt like an old world charm genuine New York style Italian restaurant. The decor truly reminded me of some of the places I visited in NYC back in the old days. Very nice. Hostess seated me in a small 2-person booth, waitress Natalie stopped by promptly and took my drink order (water). I ordered the Pasta Fagioli soup and spaghetti with meat sauce - though I did opt to upgrade with the combo add-on of a meatball, an Italian sausage, and sautéed mushrooms for an additional price. Soon, I received the salad (seems they only do a house dressing, which was very good, light) with all the veggies (some people might prefer an optional Caesar or remove some items). It also had sliced mushrooms, which were fresh and tasted good. Tomato was ripe and firm. No pink lettuce, mostly iceberg that was crisp and fresh. A good salad. Also, the garlic bread rolls. Very good, I highly recommend them. Very buttery in the melted butter with garlic. Then came the Pasta Fagioli, which was good. Pasta was tender, but not mushy. Ground beef was good, though I might have preferred a little more of it. Shamelessly, I did dip some rolls into the soup, which I think my mom wouldn't have approved of, but it was very good. As I was finishing my soup, the spaghetti arrived, and it was excellent. Good aroma, piled pretty high. Pasta was not al-dente, was nice and tender without being overcooked. My opinion: Al-dente is sometimes code for "not fully cooked," so if that is your view as well, you would have thought this spaghetti to be just right, like I did. The sauce was a deep red, nice consistency, and a light meat flavor mingled with the tomatoes and seasonings, a little bit on the sweet side, which I enjoyed. It could stand on its own flavor-wise if anyone was concerned it might need more meat (like I did when I ordered it). The meat ball was about the size of a golf ball, nicely cooked, and very lightly seasoned, allowing the flavor of the meat to be the main attraction. The mushrooms on top were nicely oily from the sautéing in the kitchen, tasted like mushrooms should! The Italian sausage was lively with a good meaty flavor that was enhanced with fennel (not always my favorite, but this was just right) and a little spiciness that I really enjoyed. I couldn't quite finish it all, and Natalie offered the dessert menu (I was so full I couldn't bring myself to try that). I got a to-go box and paid at the table, then walked like a 9.5 months pregnant woman to the car. NICE STAFF, very professional and all about great service with impeccable timing - a true rarity these days! "I'LL BE BACK."
