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!

East side and west side - which don't talk to each other (2 of 2)…read more I happened to be in this area on the east side (far, far east) and found this Italian restaurant - Mama Roberto's - that was open for lunch. I saw that the reviews were mostly good, but something on the menu was staring at me in the face: AGLIO Y OLIO I'll get to that part later. Between checking the menu prior to arriving and walking in to be seated, I got a feel for the lay of the land and how this might play out. They brought out a basket of bread, which was a larger knotted roll of garlic bread. You wouldn't see this in Italy. The bread would be far more understated. The salad was very good and substantial, with tomatoes and cheese as well as your choice of a few dressings. I then looked over the main dishes they had for lunch. A few seemed okay and they had the veal and chicken parmigiana and marsala. I was tempted to get the latter, but, with only one chicken breast, I ordered the lasagna, which was only found on the dinner menu. I should not have done so. As soon as it arrived, I noticed its presentation. It was a big slab of lasagna sitting in a sea of tomato sauce. This sort of presentation is Italian-American. It's not the more delicate presentation with less obtrusive pasta sheets that you'd see in Italy or in more upscale Italian restaurants on this side of the pond. I finished it off and it sort of bogs you down, such that you can skip dinner. The service was excellent. There is a "can do" spirit in the service. Since they aren't featuring Coke Zero, which I like because it tastes more like original Coke, they mixed up some regular and diet Coke for me. Let me talk about its decidedly Italian-American leanings. The word "mama" is something I noticed. New York had a long running Italian restaurant near the theaters named Mama Leone's, except that the literature and memorabilia also shows it as Mamma Leone's. Mamma is the bona fide Italian spelling. However, I'm sure that Italian-Americans might say, "I hope your mama is doing better" or "Your mama is a good cook." (Note that it is definitely not "yo mama.") America seems to have defaulted to this Jersey Shore Italian-American spelling. Now, let me get to "AGLIO Y OLIO." Do you put together a menu and not check your spelling with "real deal" Italian people? The "y" means "and" ... in Spanish! The correct Italian spelling would be "AGLIO E OLIO," which means "garlic and oil." What's also happening that many Hispanic cooks have cut their teeth at Italian restaurants that lean Italian-American and, if that's the case, then the food reflects that. Summing it up, Mama Roberto's gives you a lot of food, the prices are very fair, the service is customer focused, and the restaurant is pleasant and clean. On the other hand, the food runs on the heavy side, it is way more Italian-American, and they have the credit card use upcharge which is becoming more common as businesses shift this normal cost of doing business to their customers. It could have been that one of their meat, chicken, or veal dishes would have been a more manageable portion and been more to my liking. Perhaps one of the white sauce pasta dishes might have also been more up my alley. However, they should revisit their lasagna recipe and use another benchmark for both its looks and taste. I hated writing this review because Mama Roberto's is a mix of positives and negatives. If you are fine with Italian-American food, and lots of it, this might work for you. For me, Mama Roberto's is a 3-star restaurant.

But he sure would have loved our lunch here if he had been physically present for it. It had all the things he liked: the option to eat inside or outside but under a covered roof, an easy-going and friendly atmosphere, and space for his favorite people. I planned this event from another state and sleuthed many dining options for 15 or so people. When I called the restaurant and explained our situation--we wouldn't know exactly what time we'd be arriving or exactly how many people we'd be--I received such reassurance that they'd be happy to have our business and that we'd be taken care of. And we sure were! Even though there was a biker event also going on and more people than I expected dining, our service was friendly and responsive. I was so surprised at how wide of variety the menu was! It was also really pretty to look at Lake Roaming Rock from the back patio. Most of us attendees live 1-2 hours from this restaurant, so none of us had ever been. Afterward we posted photos on social media, a distant friend shared a memory of them and my dad competing in a canoe race across Lake Roaming Rock in the 1970s. That just felt like Kismet.

It's not much to look at from the outside and the interior is nothing to brag about either. However, the food is really good. My wife had the barbecue ribs that came out hot and saucy, and when she picked him up, they were falling off the bones. Good sauce, good seasoning, and prepared fantastically. I had the Philly cheesesteak which was OK nothing to brag about. It was an actual chopped steak and not steakums. The steak was hot well seasoned full of peppers, but could have used more cheese. I ordered mushrooms and they never showed up but oh well. The french fries were interesting. I ordered them crispy and they came out kind of mealy. A couple things that truck me is not so good was that a sandwich and ribs came with a side actually the ribs came on two sides. I was charged for my french fries, which was supposed to be part of the meal. We were also charged $.50 for a glass of water which I think is kind of petty and something that a restaurant shouldn't do. Our server was a nice young lady, but she wasn't exceptionally attentive and surely didn't know too much about what was on the menu. All in all the food was good. The service was so so I'd come back again.

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.
