Moma Mia.. What a perfect addition to the Bannerman location for fine dining service. Everything was perfect from our beautiful server Brittany to our beautiful view of the neighborhood's plaza area. We really enjoyed everything from the weather to the location. The food was perfect, the drinks were perfect the atmosphere was wonderful and the service was amazing! Everything tasted homemade and authentic. My old fashioned was so good I had to tip the bartender as well. We will definitely return soon.

Dined at Mom and Dad's with my son and daughter for the first time. Absolutely NO complaints! Beautiful establishment. Our server, Ruby was on top of her game. Very personable. Our meals were classic, simple and delicious. Cheese curds with marinara, Chicken Parmigiana, Veal Parmigiana and Salmon with brussel sprouts and fettuccine alfredo.

When I ran across Mom & Dad's social media post offering brunch, I know I had to try it. When I entered the restaurant, I was greeted by one of the most friendliest host. Once seated, within minutes, the server appeared as I shared with her I have never eaten at Mom & Dad's before. She took the time to share some of the restaurant's signature dishes and popular brunch menu items. I chose the French toast with bacon. The French toast was cooked perfectly and the pepper crusted bacon was delicious. I deeply appreciate manager, Ken, for stopping by to thank me for my service. I cannot wait to go back!

Wonderful food and great service. Our server Graisson answered all of our questions and told us all about the menu.

I arrived early and was promptly seated. The atmosphere was delightful, the hostess was welcoming, and our server, Makayla, provided exceptional service. However, the food fell short of expectations. The stuffed mushrooms tasted like they were pre-packaged and simply warmed with mozzarella on top. The lasagna had a burnt flavor as if the meat sauce had been simmering all day. On the bright side, my friend enjoyed their steak and potatoes. Nonetheless, I was surprised to find the lasagna still on the bill, even though I had only taken a single bite. It was disappointing to be charged $24 for it. Overall, I don't see myself returning to this restaurant. One would certainly find Stouffer's make a better lasagna and superior stuffed mushrooms at Longhorn.

Wonderful food and exceptional service! If you need to train your wait staff, please contact the manager of this establishment and see if he will be kind enough to allow them to shadow Garrison. He was wonderful! We enjoyed his attentiveness, conversation and knowledge of the menu, and overall demeanor. My Fiancé and I were there for the first time to celebrate our first year of being together and I'm so glad he chose here! Thank you Garrison for a wonderful experience.

Date night at Mom and Dad's was amazing!! Believe it or not, it was our first time at the Bannerman location and it's beautiful. We shared the chicken parm pizza appetizer. I had The Diane's steak and it was amazing!!🤤🤤 Hubby had the veal parmigiana with a side of green beans! Not pictured: the stuffed mushrooms!! I swear I ate them before the server put them down on the table!🤦🏾‍♀️😂😂

Very good Italian restaurant! The food tastes amazing, and pack lots of flavor. The service was great, and we like the ambiance on the inside, as it was nice and comfortable. This place is perfect for a date night or a private party. Would definitely recommend, and we will be coming back!

Made a reservation for 6 and while it started off a bit chaotic it ended nicely. We sat on the patio due to having two children in our party, and the patio was clean and comfortable. Children's Alfredo, children's pasta with no meat. House salad, Caesar salad, cheese curds, bread all delicious and the portions are large for the price. The server definitely turned the experience around and I'm grateful they did otherwise we would have missed out on good food.

Always searching for new restaurants in Tallahassee, we decided to try Mom & Dad's this past Friday. Being from NJ, we've been to more than our share of great Italian restaurants. I'd say this place was average at best. We started with the bruschetta appetizer which was very different made with pesto. Our entrees ranged from my lasagna, to penne vodka, veal, and fettuccine with shrimp. Nothing spectacular, they were all ok. One inconvenience was the AC was not working properly. It was a bit uncomfortable on a hot August night in Florida.

Tonight I had the opportunity to have dinner for the first time in Tallahassee. After much debate I decided to make a reservation at Mom & Dad's, how lucky can you be to find a traditional, homestyle delicious Italian restaurant! The bread was homemade, warm and perfect, next came the fried calamari, perfect again, next came the wine, they didn't have my first choice so our amazing servers, Caroline & Maggie search for a nice Italian red and they came up with another perfect choice!!! Thaddeus jumped right in to offer us a fair price for this better bottle and all were happy. Next came entrees, perfect: chicken Marsala, shrimp & pasta and linguini with white clam sauce!!! No one had room but we had to try a dessert and after bring a huge tray of delectables we choose the cannoli, perfect. As a chef for many years, it's been a long time since I went to a restaurant based on YELP reviews and had a perfect meal. Thank you all for this great dining experience, this 5 star review should add a point to each of your tallies! I'll be back...

The food was so over seasoning with garlic I couldn't eat my pasta. They claim it would have no garlic salt the second time but came out more than the first time. Our waiter then decided to go yell at the kitchen though we won't hear him complain about us still not happy with our food. Pay high price for bad food. Never again.

I'm surprised at all the bad reviews, because our experience last night was really good! Party of 5 and we all had something different and we were all very happy! The stuffed eggplant was exceptional, the chicken Marsala was raved about, and there were little to no leftovers from any of us, lol! The bread was also yummy, and the service was great! Loved the ambiance also. The only negative thing I noticed was the cook time was kind of long, but not terrible. Overall, it was great!

We came in kind of late. The employees were very friendly. They didn't act like they were aggravated because we came in late like some other restaurants do. The food was very good and came out in a reasonable time frame. We had salad, a chicken soup, calamari, and shared the chicken parm. They also give complimentary bread which was warm and delicious. Highly recommend everything and the chicken parm was plenty for us to share! Very nice, clean atmosphere. A little upscale as far as dress. I wouldn't come in with gym shorts or sweats on. Highly recommend.

We went here for my brother/sister-in-laws' rehearsal dinner. It's a cute place with lots of ambiance! The backroom we were seated in was nice and private with curtains to divide it from the rest of the business. Very comfy and cozy! The apps were great and my chicken parm was gigantic and delicious. I heard some serious complaints about the penne alla vodka being nothing like what someone would normally expect from a penne alla vodka. The bride herself was not able to eat it due to extreme spice! On the other hand, the desserts were wonderful. I'd highly recommend this place for private events. It's always so hard to know where to host a welcoming, affordable event like a birthday, baby shower, bridal shower, etc.

Had reservations for our daughter's 23rd birthday for a party of five on Sunday November 3, 2024 at 4:45pm. Arrived 15 minutes early and was immediately greeted by the hostess. She asked if we wanted to sit outside or inside, which on the reservation we did request outside so we said outside. We followed her to our table outside on the patio and she immediately appologized for it not being ready which we did not mind since we did arrive early. She quickly brough plates, silverware, and glasses of water. Shortly our waitress arrived, she introduced herself as Ricki (unsure of spelling) and she took our drink order. She arrived a lit bit later with our drinks and gave them to every one at the table and said excuse me while I go take another table's food to them so it doesn't get cold. Not a problem with us! She returned a little while later and we placed our order for appetizers: Arancini Balls, Fried Lobster Ravioli, and Mom's Cheese Curds which arrived not too long after we placed our order and were the best part of our meal as it went down hill after that. She said I'll leave you to enjoy your appetizers for a bit and return to take you order for dinner. During our meal, the birthday girl ended up having chards of glass in her water. She had bit down on them, thankfully not cutting her mouth and was able to remove them from her mouth which she put onto a plate. She had drank from a straw that she used in her glass of water. The glass was not broken or chipped so unsure if it came from using the glass ot scoop ice or another glass broke and it had been stacked inside her glass before filling with water. When our waitress returned we immediately brought this to her attention by showing her the glass on the plate and she literally said, "okay", and hurried away. Shortly after the hostess returned and prefusely apoligzed and removed the plate wiht the glass on it. She seemed more concerned than our waitress did! Our waitress returns and asks to take our dinner order. We orderd the following meals: *chicken parmigiana and a side house salad with the italian dressing-not very much sauce and salad dressing was mostly vinegar which made the salad inedible. *Tuscan Ribeye medium with roasted potatoes-steak was well done and potatoes were the only thing enjoyed. *Chicken Piccata with a cesear salad- salad dressing was extremely strong but edible, chicken was not thin, it was a huge thick fried chicken breast, covered with hardly any sauce, no lemon flavor, daughter did not enjoy at all!. *Lasagna for me with a side house salad with ranch-salad and dressing was good, lasagna was good but nothing special. *Penne A La Vodka and brussel sprouts -(Birthday girl's meal) edible but nothing spectaculiar, brussel sprouts arrived during the middle of daughter finishing her meal. It took forever for our waitress to refill drinks and check in on us. When she did, she acted bothered and as if we were not really worth serving as if we were a burden. Our bill was $240 and we left a 10% tip which we usually leave 20% or more that's just how disappointed we were. After our meal, we did not even want to stay for dessert as our meal just wasn'y exactly what we were expecting: completely disappointing! Not sure if we will return as we left with a sour taste in our mouth from service and food.

The food was outstanding (linguini with littleneck clams) best Ive eaten at a restaurant! Tender, buttery and savory. Fettucini was cooked perfectly al dente. Service was amazing. We had a large group and we were attended to magnificently! I definitely recommend for any kind of eating outing you are doing. Not too busy too and it looks like they have a nice outdoor eating area but we will try that when it gets a little cooler. 10 stars

The menu has a nice variety. The service was excellent. Ambiance was pleasant and it was quiet so you could have a conversation without competing with music. I guess they either have a new chef or they decided to change how they prepare the food we have previously enjoyed. We haven't eaten at M & D's in a number of months. I was disappointed in the Chicken Marsala and although my husband liked the Eggplant Parmesan, he preferred the previous recipe. The Chicken Marsala was good but the previous recipe had 2 breasts, no skin and the sauce was tastier. Next time we go to M & D's, I will try something else.

Our Anniversary I do not often do reviews but our experience, on our anniversary, was exceptional to say the least. Let me begin by telling you that everyone in the restaurant treated us as I wish other restaurants would. I wish we knew everyone's name. Wendy was our server and we could not have asked for a better one. We were seated promptly and given the opportunity to dine in the "Bubble Room". We sat in this quiet area that made our anniversary even more special. The food was excellent and the portions were plentiful. We split a salad and were given complementary bread. My wife ordered stuffed shells and I had lasagna. We both ordered additional meatballs. After finishing our meals we were treated to a free desert just for our anniversary. We recommend you give them a try. We will be going there much more often. Money well spent.

Old menus are of no value. Current menus with clearly stated, accurate prices are a must for ANY restaurant's listings. Diners should be able to make informed choices. some restaurants even appear to wish to hide their prices. These days all restaurant prices are rather high.

The ambiance of the restaurant was very nice and we got seated in a timely manner. We had a great and attentive waiter as well! I tried the penne a la vodka with the meatballs, overall it definitely needed more flavor but it wasn't horrible. I would've thought for the price to add on a meat it would have been more than two pieces though. I had a Caesar Salad as well for my appetizer that was quite good!

I'm going to give this place 2 stars and that's generous considering how poor the quality of the food is here and how pricy it is to be that expensive. We came in on a Monday night... large party. I thought the service was okay. Nothing to write home to Momma about and will honestly stick with Ricardo's next time I want my Italian fix. I ordered a pepperoni pizza and it was probably some of the worst pizza I ever had which is sad because getting the pizza was my safe option and it was extremely disappointing.

Came here for a birthday for about 15 people. Service felt pretty slow and my lasagna was just OK. I enjoyed it more at the old location to the point where I said it was the best in town. Not sure how true that is anymore. There was really only one person servicing the entire party, with a little help coming in here and there. It was a pretty mediocre time in terms of the food and service. Wouldn't rush to return.

Ridiculously slow service. Hour and a half after a our reservation time and still no entrees. We made reservations months in advance for graduation. They called us a week before to demand a generous deposit, which we paid because at that point it was too late to find anything else. After nearly 2 hours we finally got our food and two entrees weren't even edible, another was just passable. Eggplant over cooked to the point of not recognizable, a pile of mush under cheese. Huge disappointment. Calamari was delicious. That's the one star. We were offered free dessert as compensation. Sat and sat, no one taking dessert orders so we gave up and asked for the check. This time the manager said he'd take the entrees off to make it up for us. Which he did, but.... Drum role please.... We weren't credited the $150 we paid up front. The worst part was my daughter in tears. This was supposed to be a joyful celebration of her graduation.

My first time at Mom & Dad's was close to a decade ago, back when it was way down Apalachee Parkway. I thoroughly enjoyed that visit. Regrettably, I can't say the same for my most recent trip. I love the new location and its appearance. The old spot was nice and cozy, which I was fond of. The current place is much more modern and up-to-date. Dimly lit. Alluring and resplendent. The service was pretty good as well. Our server didn't come back in a timely manner only once. No big deal. My issue was the food itself. It wasn't bad.....but it wasn't spectacular either and that's what I expected. The pink sauce on the Seafood Lasagna was meritorious but the lasagna itself was average. The Stuffed Mushrooms were quite divine however, my Diana's Steak was substandard. The Lobster Ravioli was also mediocre. When you go in knowing you're going to spend over $100 for you and a date, you presuppose the food is going to be top-notch. That wasn't the case. If they improve their dishes, Mom and Dad's will return to its rightful place at the top of the Tallahassee Italian mountain.

Came here for a Fathers Day meal and wasn't disappointed, but also wasn't thrilled. The service was decent, the server managed to expertly deal with one of my younger and more obnoxious siblings which deserves a full star on its own. We got the bruschetta to start off with, which I was pretty excited about. What came out was a modern twist on what should (IMO) be served in its classic way. I wish I had gotten a picture, because it was just a little bizarre. They wrapped the bread into what appeared to be a sushi roll and topped it with just a ton of stuff. So much that the bread rolls underneath were soggy. I had one and then left it to our dad who ended up eating it all. The Caesar salad was good, I added blackened chicken. Pretty basic, but very tasty. Fresh rosemary bread was kept on the table throughout the meal and the server was attentive to waters and such. The ambiance was nice, a little classy, but not enough that you can't wear your favorite pair of jeans (I was in shorts) and there was live music when we went (a weekend night.) The drink menu was a little stunted but I managed to order a delicious white wine that hit the spot. Disclaimer this time is Italian food isn't my favorite, but everyone else seemed decently pleased with their food (just don't get that bruschetta roll.)

Great with allergies! They use olive oil here. Service was on point! Wait staff is prompt and sharp. Always available in timely points to get refills, clear plates. Food was great, for 4 adults, no alcoholic drinks it's a solid $115 plus tip. So 4 entrees and 2 apps with beverages. Parking is free and easy, great dishes here. Would definitely come back and they have a large banquet room in the back for 15 ppl or more parties.

Our anniversay dinner was wonderful at Mom & Dad's in Bannerman Crossing. The food is excellent. Service is very professional. And there is music! Our server made an anniversary card for us. Great food, great treatment. I highly recommend Mom and Dad's.

The ambiance is lovely and every employee is very friendly and helpful. The food is quite good, too. The wine list is the drawback for Mom & Dad's. The best labels there are not the greatest, are expensive, and there is no happy hour price on weeknights. The house white is affordable, but tastes pretty awful. They stopped offering a house Pinot Grigio. My sister and I used to dine here once a week, but the wine situation has us going elsewhere now.

Great food, service and location! I The bar is beautiful! Restaurant is spacious and decorated beautifully. A great place for a romantic evening for couples, larger parties like birthdays, or even really big parties like receptions. I love that they moved out to Bannerman Crossing! There's always so much going on. Great parking easy to get into. My favorite thing there... Of course it's the chicken Parm pizza! It's totally amazing you have to try it... Last week, we were there on the night they were trying out some dueling pianos in the back. So much fun I hope they do that again!!

This is not the original restaurant and the food is VERY different in taste and presentation. I went here on a date with my girlfriend this was by far the worst Italian I have ever had. Save your money and go to fazolis the fast food Italian joint it'll taste about the same and save you roughly 100$

I really wish I could recommend this restaurant and maybe it was just an off night when we were there but the food was just not good and the service was even worse. I used to go to the location on Apalachee Pkwy and the food was always amazing so I'm holding to the theory that it was just a bad night and I'm going to try this location again because it is so convenient.

Wanted to leave a review with a massive THANK YOU to the incredible staff at Mom & Dads. We came in as a party of 10 around 8:30pm last night. It wasn't planned, despite it being my birthday so we were totally okay if they couldn't accommodate us. They ended up graciously accepting and we had such a wonderful time. The food, wine, and service was top notch. I really appreciate the front and back of house staff for everything, as the company we had was a surprise to me as well and I was just overwhelmed with the kindness for my birthday.

Food wasn't what it used to be! Seafood casserole only had baby scallops! No shrimp or crab as stated on the menu! May have BBC wrong name! Maybe bc a baked seafood dish! Anyway not worth the money

My boyfriend and I came here for the first time for Valentine's Day dinner. We arrived and their seating system had been down for about 45 minutes. People were waiting for their reservations because they couldn't seat without it. The hosts handled the situation with class and understanding. As soon as the system came back up, they seated everyone waiting within five minutes. Their prompt adaptation to such an unfortunate setback was impressive. The food was delicious and came quickly. Our server was attentive and answered the questions we had about menu items. Everything was fairly priced and we loved it. I had penne ala vodka and my boyfriend had seafood pasta. We finished with some coffee for dessert. As we were leaving, what must have been the manager or owner handed my boyfriend a rose, and joked that he was bringing the rose that my boyfriend ordered. He gave us this rose for free with the intention of having my boyfriend give it to me for Valentine's Day. This is a great example of how this establishment went above and beyond for us. We were so impressed with such a nice gesture of gifting us a rose. This place is amazing and we will definitely be back! Don't hesitate to visit!

Came in and although we didnt have reservation we were seated as soon as we walked in. This is a really nice and fancy place to dine at. We had the calamari and wings as our appetizers, which both were fantastic. My entree of the blackened grouper was just okay to me. I had the opportunity ton sample other people's plates that were at my table and everything was just okay to me. Everything was good I just was not blown away with this place like I expected to be but will return again to try a few more things on the menu.

I visited Mom and Dad's a few years back one Sunday brunch and enjoyed their half priced appetizers and drinks, specifically their risotto balls. More recently, my family and I have enjoyed their curbside family meals. We ordered the chicken parmesan that was a great deal of food for around $60. Included was a huge tray of chicken Parmesan, pasta, salad, and fresh bread and butter. The chicken parmesan is one of my husband's favorites in town. For me, the sauce and chicken needed a bit more seasoning, but it was good overall. More recently we ordered dinner for two where I got my husband the baked chicken parmesan instead of the fried. My husband asked me to get the fried next time because the cheese and breading did not stick well to the chicken. I ordered the chicken marsala with the seasonal veggies in lieu of pasta (zucchini and summer squash). The chicken marsala had two pieces of chicken with the perfect amount of mushrooms. The sauce was tasty, though it was a bit thick and congealed. The zucchini and summer squash was sliced thin and seasoned with butter and salt and pepper and served as the highlight of my meal. There service is always good and polite. I'm looking forward to feeling comfortable indoor dining at Mom and Dad's in the future or taking advantage of their outdoor seating.

Positive notes first: So nice to find a modern new restaurant in Tally! Nice area to stroll after dining here. Service was very good and accommodating. Decent wine by the glass list, never saw list of wines by the bottle though. Food execution mediocre and did not meet expectations set by the investment in the restaurant. 4 stars decor, 2 stars food. Examples, calamari too much batter and lacked seasonings. Fried artichoke small portion no garnish, spicy sauce tasted off. Cesar dressing mayo based , tasteless, and bleah. The concept of fresh pasta was so exciting only to disappoint with pasta stuck together and undercooked,( I love al dente but not raw, please), pomodoro sauce was some type of sauce and then tomatoes tossed in. Olive oil sauce option tasteless, lasagne overcooked and inedible around the edges. Food quality did not meet the $150 bill .

First, Google, Yelp and their website say they open at 4:30. They, however, open at 5pm and were completely unapologetic to us and the other two parties that expected them to be open. Nevertheless, our waiter, who was also the bartender, was fantastic. It wasn't busy at all, so I can't say how good service would be at other times. We went early to avoid the crowds. I felt very safe dining in. But again, it wasn't busy. We loved the bread basket and cheese curds. We all thought the Alfredo sauce tasted jarred.... The shrimp and chicken that went on top was really good though. Overall, I would go again to try something else. Wouldn't get the Alfredo again. Might as well get Bertolli.

I was really excited to try this place as I have heard a lot about it and I love Italian. I ordered the Cesar salad which was a little watery unfortunately (i ordered the Gorgonzola dressing on the side for my Cesar and it was homemade and delicious! ) and they do not have any Riesling, my favorite wine. Bummer. The hostess was amazing, her name was Sandy! Sweetest lady you will ever meet. The lasagna was sub par. It tasted more like a lasagna boat rather than lasagna. The noodles were on the outside and there was a boatload of sauce and cheese in the middle. The chicken Marsala was good if you like mushrooms. Would try again but would not get lasagna again.

I really enjoyed trying this restaurant for the first time. Very nice atmosphere but you feel fine in jeans. Good food and not overpriced. Good service. Complimentary valet parking. I had spaghetti with olive oil and garlic and two meatballs on the side. My friend had the penne al la vodka with chicken. Note: They don't allow outside wine.

Went there for a graduation dinner. Made reservations the day after Valentines. Barely got a table. Two orders of Grouper were ordered. One came our raw the second, no way it was the same amount of fish. My Chicken Marsala was poor. Looked like two pieces of fried chicken with a little brown gravy that had little taste. Very little sign of garlic or mushrooms. Macaroni Grill does a much better version of this dish. Other spaghetti dishes were huge an those folks were very happy. Turtle cheesecake was yummy.

Imagine being in the car for 7 hours driving to your son's college graduation. As you make it to campus for said graduation, you receive a phone call. The call is from this restaurant, the one one I confirmed our graduation celebration dinner reservation with yesterday, cancelling the reservation because FSU has graduation this weekend (I had told the restaurant my son was graduating from FAMU, which is true), and they overbooked. Yea, that just happened. Thanks for nothing, and ruining a memorable event.

First visit to the restaurant at this location. My first impression was that this restaurant has really grown up and become sophisticated. The ambience was really nice. I walked in there without a reservation (the host asked if we had a reservation) but were promptly seated. The menu was a one pager (both sides) and I don't mind at all as my philosophy is keep it simple and do it well. Unfortunately, the menu does not explain much and my waitress and her trainee is no where to be found. Once we caught their attention, her explanation wasn't very good. The trainer needs a bit more training. We ordered the artichoke heart appetizer and it came out very greasy (need hotter oil) but the marinara sauce was yummy. There were three of us and we all ordered something different to share. We had pizza, lasagna, and baked spaghetti. The pizza and pasta were average at best. The pizza crust was too hard. The baked spaghetti tasted good but it lacks meat. Lasagna pasta was a bit hard. Could this be an off night? I really enjoyed their food in the old location.... Our waitress was hard to find when you need her. Once we got what we need from someone else, she would appear again. Hmmm. I would visit again to give it another shot but it won't be my choice. I would come if my friends want to.

I have been here a number of times, and every time I leave disappointed. My recent visit was no different. My group of 6 went here to celebrate my daughter's birthday, at her choice. When we were led to our table, at the bar, I mentioned that I had specifically made a reservation for a standard table, because I knew the older members of my party would have difficulty with the high top bar seating. The hostess rudely said under her breath "you're lucky to even have a table". Oh. Was I really lucky though? Because the food is really like, Olive Garden level (but much more expensive and without the great salad!). Everyone's dish was either bland (the veal piccata), overcooked (the manicotti, which was so overcooked it was dried out; the Brussels sprouts which were overboiled and mushy) or otherwise extremely average. All this at a price that was probably twice what it was worth. The facility is very nice, the ambiance is great, the service was good (rude hostess aside) - it has so much working in its favor, but if the food is bad, none of that matters.

I ordered alfredo with chicken for take out. The chicken was amazing!! The alfredo was really good too but the chicken really stuck out to me. It was cooked perfectly. Also when I showed up to do curbside pickup, it wasn't very clear where to go and when I called they were so kind and helpful! I highly recommend.
