I started with the house salad, featuring fresh mozzarella and a house dressing that perfectly balanced the flavors of the greens and cheese. For our entrees, we had the Chicken Parmesan and upgraded to the cheese tortellini with tomato cream sauce--they were absolute pillows of deliciousness. We also enjoyed the gnocchi with pesto and a side of meatballs, both of which were excellent. The only downside is the need for reservations due to limited parking, but the quality of the food more than makes up for it.

I was in town on vacation and came alone. Second time here. I tried the chicken parm and it was…read moredelicious I subbed the pasta for tortalini with a cream sauce which was so light and tender. When the server asked if I wanted dessert she never mentioned the chocolate covered spumoni that another person asked if they had any saying how delicious it was. I was disappointed in the server for not mentioning it as we had talked about it before dinner. Next trip I will definitely be back

Our server Cam was great about giving people beverages and then once everyone was there after the burial they started bringing out the mini pizza and garlic bread. This was followed by a table side wedding soup and a family style garden salad with great toppings and a light bright dressing. The family style lunch consisted of a lemon chicken, cavatelli, green beans and a potato dish with regular and sweet potatoes. This was followed by a small slice of cassata cake. Highly recommend Mario Fazios if you are in need of a luncheon event.

I will say it did take quite a bit of time for the Pizza to come out so if you're going to order a pizza for an appetizer order it as soon as you walk in. The chicken marsala was great and came with a side of any type of pasta you wanted, I chose Angel hair with half meat sauce and half Alfredo, which was perfect. The appetizers were fantastic as well and totally worth it. Probably could've just eaten the appetizers by themselves and been full. Definitely ordered too much! Don't miss this place!

I came here for a book club with friends so I didn't know what to expect as I have never been here…read morebefore. All I knew was it is Italian. Inside it's very small and the tables are crammed together. When people would walk past our table to use the restroom I had at least 2 people hit my purse that was on the back of my chair. The purse isn't even big at all. It just felt extremely tight sitting between others who are dining. The server was very nice but the service was overall slow. We had to wait awhile to get our entrie orders taken. Then waiting even longer for our food. I think the server was overwhelmed with our size table of 8 people. She checked in on us often which was nice but at the end of our dinner she messed up almost everyone's check. It was very disorganized and everyone was confused about what they were paying for or who owed what. When I got my check I had what I ordered on my bill and it was my card number but another girls name showed up on my bill... weird. Food was just okay. About as good as Olive Garden and honestly I would prefer Olive Garden. My friend also wasn't impressed with the food and said she wouldn't go back there. There was nothing about the food that made us excited to go back. My friend got an espresso martini and she said it was okay but strong. She had ordered another one after finishing the first one and when the server brought it out it was basically black and looked like straight espresso coffee. My friend tried it, hated it and asked for 2 creamers to add to it. They couldn't make a good cocktail but they did have a good selection of wines.

Ordered several apps and that was fine. Ordered 3 pizzas and took over an hour to get them! We only got one round of drinks. We had to ask multiple times for a second round. 1 family was there when we initially went/ordered. After that the place filled up. No one got drinks or food either though. 4 kids were "working"--the one looked like he was 10! The main thing was that we found hair in our food! The one kid told us they'd give us our pizza 50% off. When we paid no one knew about that so they gave us a card for a free pizza. Seriously?! We picked this place because it was a family owned place.

We let the chef decide what we were having, which was a bit more adventurous than I usually am. We were not disappointed. The food was really, really amazing. I'm not sure I've ever had a pork dish that I enjoyed as much as the one we had. The pasta was great. The salad contents were a little weird, but whatever. When your only complaint was the salad, you're doing OK. The restaurant was beautiful, and the staff was great. Everyone was very nice, but our waitress was particularly pleasant and seemed intent on helping us have a fun experience. Mama herself came to our table and quickly realized that we were amused by her wisecracks, so she kept coming back. She was cranky in a very fun way, if you can imagine. Dinner was a lot more expensive than I expected, but I am definitely glad we tried the place with our friends. We will be talking about that dinner for a long time. Probably a one-time visit, but if you want to have a special evening, this is a great choice.

The restaurant has a cozy, family owned vibe and we loved that. I ordered the chicken Parmesan with cavitelli noodles and my husband got the same with spaghetti noodles. I got a house salad with mine and he had Italian Wedding Soup with his. Everything was absolutely delicious!! I loved the house dressing on my salad and my husband is still raving about how good his soup was. We both throughly enjoyed our entrees as well. The chicken was cooked perfectly and very crispy. Their pasta sauce is also very good. Noodles were cooked perfectly too. They also bring fresh baked bread and oh my goodness!! The best bread we have ever had!!

And Saturday night is date night so we were going out no matter what. Now, lest you think we are completely out of our minds, we had resigned ourselves to staying near home and for this evening, fine dining was out of the picture. So we chose an ever popular with the masses, little, community centered Italian restaurant close by. "Dino's Restaurant" is a mainstay local eatery that has been serving good Italian food to my community for ever. I really don't know how long they've been here but I've been here over 50 years and I'm sure they've been here before me. That alone speaks volumes to the quality of food and service you can expect there. Is the food the best I've ever had... probably not... my Nona's was the best. Is it as good as some of the extraordinary dishes I experienced at the high caliber establishments? That's not apples to apples. This is every night of the week, just got home from work, Italian family all sitting around the dinner table waiting for momma to bring out the evenings offerings, food. It's not fancy. It's not something you never heard of. It's simply good, wholesome, stick-to-your-ribs, eat till you can't eat anymore food. I enjoyed a fresh, crispy salad with vinegar & oil and dry blue cheese. Followed by 3 big pieces of "Chicken Piccata" in a nice sauce. With a side vegetable and a refreshing "Arnold Palmer" to wash it all down. Afterwards we enjoyed a good cup of coffee and a slice of "Mascarpone cake". When my wife and I were done I was presented a bill for $61.00. And I took home enough food for at least 1 more meal... maybe more Now you can't beat that. My recommendation... You should go.

A good bang for the buck in this economy. I highly recommend checking out this restaurant!
