Palermo Italian Restaurant

I ordered Greek salad and the dressing is very extremely sweet. I can’t eat it. The Alfredo sauce is very thick , taste is just average The garlic bread is served hot and taste amazingly. Finally, they changed my salad without charge. Taste much better with Caesar dressing , just add tomato with I feel a bit weird. At least, I know that they cared customers from their heart and try to make dishes accomplishing satisfaction. Free Tiramisu as dessert❤️ that I did not expect that , just only thank you.

Portion and atmosphere will forever keep me going back!! My first and forever time eating at this restaurant so happy with the service!! THE TASTE IS INCREDIBLE AND ITS SO SPOTLESS AND FRESH. I DEFINITELY WILL BE RETURNING!! Thanks you for such an amazing time and good laughs and a full tummy!! ❤️🤍🍝

Excellent family owned Italian joint. My people! When you’re Italian you’re always family! That’s one a-spicy meat-a ball! Cozy. Warm. Wonderful service. And the tiramisu is the best I’ve had in years!!

This place has a very comfortable and homey atmosphere. The service is really good and everyone is super nice. They even have someone going around playing the accordion for each table. Great for big parties and families. However the food is mediocre at best. Portions are good, but not the most appetizing. Come for the vibes not the food.

A place that shows a great history, very friendly service, but that is all the positive thing I can say. The food is really bad. Reheated lentil soup, totally bland four-cheese pasta and bland and pasty meatballs that I wouldn't even give to my pet. Shame but I suggest you avoid it.

I wish I could give them 10 stars!! They're so sweet and the food is just 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻 We got a salad and they gave us a side of garlic bread which is the best garlic bread I've eaten in my entire life!!! And the portions are huge for what they charge, it took two of us to finish the salad and we were full! And the servers were adorably concerned with us not eating enough (aww) Such warm sweet people, absolutely loved dining here! 10/10 would recommend

Excellent service, very nice owner and waiter Food: Paid $30+ for one pizza and most of the crust was undercooked and doughy. Only the edges were fully cooked. Way too many peppers and they were cut way too big. I wish them the best, but we will not be coming back.

This place was recommended by some employees at the Griffith Observatory. It was amazing. The atmosphere was great, the food was amazing and the service was just right! We had the peperoni pizza and chicken Parmesan sandwich. 1 sandwich could feed 2 people and a large pizza could easily feed 4. Some of the best pizza I have ever had. They even gave us a free sample of Tiramisù, which is my absolute favorite. So very thankful for the 2 guys at Griffith Observatory who recommended it.

I went to this restaurant with a friend who goes often. He said there was nothing bad on the menu. He ordered the melon wrapped in prosciutto. Excellent. All of us ordered something different. A mistake was made on my order as to the type of sauce. It was taken away and the correct meal/sauce was freshly prepared. Everyone else was about done when mine arrived. I ate some of it, but not wanting to hold up the others asked it to be packaged to go. My bag also included the meal that had the wrong sauce. That's customer service! My hotel room had a small freezer and I was able to get the pasta home to Washington State for dinner with my wife. The garlic bread that is served with the dinner was great. Our server was also great, garnering her a "healthy" tip. It is an old school restaurant where the best entry, and parking, is in the back. ENJOY!!!

Been wanting to come here for ages and finally made it happen. This is a great old-school Italian place in a cool, old LA neighborhood... feels like it's been around forever - hope it stays here forever but get here quick 'cause you never know. Our friendly, experienced waiter has been working this place for decades, he knows what you want more than you do! Got some wine, salad, pizza and pasta to share, simple ingredients bringing classic flavors. There's a strolling accordion-player-singer making the rounds if you want a serenade. Challenging parking but worth it.

Service was very good. Food was good. Not fine dining, but no complaints at all on the food. It was very flavorful. It was served hot and in a reasonable amount of time. Would go back next time we're in the area.

We came here for dinner on a sunday evening (super bowl sunday) My family was greeted by the host and sat immediately. Our server was beyond sweet and attentive. He gave us 4 small free slices of pizza right when we sat down which was a nice surprise. We ordered a pepperoni pizza and the calamari. the calamari was delicious, the batter was nice and crispy. The pizza was really good too. the pepperoni was thick and had a good spice to it. The prices on the menu seem to be the same as previous reviews from 7 years ago. Our server had mentioned their lasagna and pasta dishes are really popular. I definitely think we will come back to eat again when we are in the area. Overall a great experience. They've been around for 47 years so that has to say something about this place. Thanks for a great experience.

The food was great big portion took it to go had left overs great service too definitely recommend

Palermo what an amazing pizza experience! The flavors were truly authentic, capturing the essence of Italian culture in every bite. My boyfriend showed me this wonderful place as he knew I had a craving for pizza but not just any pizza the best! We decided to try the meatballs pizza. Savory pie with a dough base topped with sauce, meatballs, and cheese. Toppings were fresh and full of flavor. The customer service was exceptional offering us a sample of the delicious pizza rosa. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and made us feel like part of the family. It wasn't just a meal; it was an experience. The atmosphere was lively, with fun music that made the whole place feel like a celebration. I'll definitely be coming back for more!

Nice people, great atmosphere and bigger than I expected inside, love the dough, will be back.

I'm a regular. My son loves their spaghetti and marinara. My favorites are angel hair with garlic and basil and penne with Tony Sauce. We love Palermo.

Scampi shrimp was a bit bland. Eggplant parm was very mushy, more like chunks not the fillet, not crispy at all. I wish I loved it but I didn't. Great service though and a nice ambiance. I did really like the mushroom appetizer so I would recommend that for sure.

We dined at Palermo Italian Restaurant when they had a neighbor location near our home in La Canada. Their food has always been the same as it is now.....top notch, delicious and pleasing. The same goes for their service and the way the owners Tony and Antonette make everyone feel like "familia". Sunday was no different as we met good friends there to celebrate his birthday. They had been there two years ago after a performance at the Pantages. When he told me afterwards that he found this great Italian restaurant near Hollywood, without a thought, I said Palermo! He was astonished that I knew where they had dined. We both agreed that it's that good and it reminds him of restaurants from his youth in NYC. We will be back and we will continue to enjoy Chicken Diane, Fettuccine Alfredo and Pizza Roma from Palermo.

What a wonderful atmosphere. The Staff at this restaurant is truly warm and welcoming. I stopped in to get a slice of Pizza to go. They welcomed me like I was a meme er of their family. I will never forget this 5 minute encounter. Thank you for your kindness. Happy Halloween, Gabriel PS empty plate (nothing left to picture)

A friend and I were in the area for an afternoon play and googled local Italian restaurants as one had popped up that we had already patronized in the past so we decided to give this one a try (so happy we did)! Parking was a bit of a challenge as they do have their own parking lot; however, all spots were taken and they were quite too close for comfort so we found street parking (just pay attention to the signage). Upon entering, it was a very warm welcome by the hostess whom appeared to be one of the owners. The establishment appeared to be a bit busy as it was approaching the 5pm dinner rush and we were seated promptly. As for the food, it was excellent! We were immediately greeted by a wonderful server (did not catch his name) & served some warm complimentary "pizza bread" that was to die for! We were also served complimentary garlic bread with our entrees which happened to be cannelloni in a meat sauce (included your choice of soup or salad). All was delicious! There's enough for two meals so I took half of mine home. We also ordered the house red wine and that was also very good. My friend ordered the cannoli for dessert and he really enjoyed it. Will definitely come again if in the area!

During thanksgiving break my parents and brother decided to come here during lunch. I have been here once before and the food tasted authentic. Food: 5/5 the food is authentic and very delicious. The portions are shareable even the sandwich. Even though the portions are big it does not loose it's taste. The pizza was cheesy, crunchy and doughy yummy. The Greek salad had lots of taste. My dad enjoyed his chicken Cacciatore and mom her subway. Service: 5/5 we were seated right away and our waiter checked in on us a couple of times! Ambiance: 5/5 very authentic Italian deco inside and while we were there old customers came by so you know the food is good with recurring customers. Parking: 5:5 they have a lot in the back which is good since this is a highly trafficked area with scarce parking. I can't wait to come back and try other stuff in their menu especially leading up to marathons when you can use up those carbs! Definitely recommend and will be coming back.

Every time we come to Hollywood or the Los Angeles Griffith Park, or to catch a show at the Pantages we always try to make a stop at Palermo's. They never disappoint. The service is always on point and the atmosphere is always fun and uplifting. Last night when we were seated, they immediately brought out this neat little personal pan pizza looking thing with amazing cheeses on it. One little sliver for each person at the table. It was outstanding and a great way to wake up your pallet for the food that was about to come. I ordered the chicken Parmesan and it was extremely tasty as always. The wife had angel hair pasta with meat sauce and she thoroughly enjoyed it. We ordered the everything eight less anchovies and the pizza was cooked to perfection. We always have stuff left over and it's not because we didn't like it. It's because we are stuff and always over order.. If you are ever in the Hollywood area around Sunset and Vermont, you should definitely stop in. You will not be disappointed. Also, if you're lucky, the accordion playing man will be there and can give you a little bit of entertainment. Our grandchildren thoroughly enjoyed him.

If your looking for authentic Italian, than look no further. Portion sizes are humungous, so they can definitely be shared. It was my first time there and I was impressed. The ambiance is family like and comfortable with an array of wines to choose from. The service was excellent. The food was so good and they timed it perfectly so that you wouldn't have a table full of food waiting for you to eat it. Be careful with the appetizers because once we finished it, the salad, a glass of wine.... we were full lol. we took two bites of the food and packed it to go. I had so much food left over that. I took it to work the next day and shared with my coworker for lunch and I still had leftover for dinner that same night again....it's Italian so definitely share share share share and share.

I've been eating at Palermo's since around 2007. The food is always good. Tony, the owner is so welcoming and the servers are also very great and friendly. It is still my go to Italian restaurant in LA even after I moved to Orange County.

I have been coming here for years, family owned business with comforting and welcoming service. The ambiance has always been pleasant and the food is still fresh and delicious.... Pizza, pasta you name it. It's a phenomenal family atmosphere to where you will not be disappointed. The wine selection is fantastic and you will never leave disappointed. Maggie was our server and was the most amazing person to be at our table. She greeted us with a welcoming smile and was very polite and suggestive about the menu making the experience even better. I'm so glad we chose to dine here again. I definitely recommend Palermo's as a place for fine Italian cuisine. Tony as always is there to make your dining experience even more enjoyable.

To start they gave us a slice of pizza as an appetizer. I had a lasagna and my wife had homemade ravioli. We took a pepperoni pizza home for later. Food and service was amazing again.

Extremely excellent service from the time we entered til the time we leave. This was our first time and they were amazing with their service. Best I've had in the longest and what I mean is that they made us feel at home. The ambiance was casual friendly and the food was considerable portions wow! There pastas were delicious and we are happy .

Haven't been here in a while but had to leave a review for all the times I've came and dined in. Love the vibe of this place, super old school Italian restaurant feel to it. Everyone's super nice and welcoming and I've felt at home everytime I've dined here. The portions are very generous and the desert is outstanding. You'll enjoy yourself here.

Palermo's is my new favorite, Italian food spot! You can never go wrong with the build your own pasta. The pizza is to die for! I'll ordered the combination pizza with onions, bell peppers, and meatballs. It tasted like a Philly cheesesteak sandwich in pizza form. The staff and the owner are super friendly and it's definitely what I would consider authentic Italian food. They also have a wine cellar, so you can pick your own wine to pair with your meal. This is definitely the perfect place to go with a large group and share different entrées just to get a little taste of everything. They also gave us some of their cheese pizza to try, and honestly it was pretty good. I would order a whole pie of that one.

My friend Miss Lillian REALLY loves this place, and has been dragging me here for at least 15 years; I think she's been coming since she was a kid. The place has real Hollywood ambiance (photos) and the staff are very nice and helpful. The food is exceptional (both quality and quantity) and priced well (especially considering what's happened since Covid). That being said, still expect to spend $30-40 a plate with accessories and/or drinks plux tax and tip. (More or less depending upon how you order, Pizza and sandwiches are cheaper.) WORTH IT.

I haven't eaten here in several years and boy am I glad I came back! Tony and Antoinette were so nice! I told them I wished I could have gotten one of every dish to taste everything. They then got me one of the most delicious mushroom plates for free just up the variety for us! Some of the nicest people I've seen (both workers as well as the customers). The décor and ambiance are also very cute. I would definitely come back here again! For those of you that know more of the difference between Northern and Southern Italian, this place does it all well, but further excels in the Southern and Sicilian styles (Tony is Sicilian himself)!

Just got off a one hour bus commute and stumbled into this place and got drawn in with a slice of pizza. An older gentleman greeted me and took my order and even offered me a small soda on the house. I never really write Yelp reviews but I've never gone into a place and got treated with so much kindness. The slice of pizza was delicious!!! Coming back here with friends and family. Thank you for being so nice Palermo team!

We've been going here since 1987. It's like going home. One of us always has the Chicken Diane served on the pasta (no red sauce). Our kids, now grown, were babies entertained by the performers, the sticker machines and the maps of Italy to color.

This review is especially meant for Italian ex-pats, New Yorkers, Sicilian Americans and anyone who longs for a genuine Old Country family meal while posted here "in the wild" in Los Angeles. I am one of those, a Sicilian American New Yorker who misses genuine, fresh, delicious meals that we could have when we lived back at home. You just don't find a Sicilian restaurant easily in Southern California, or perhaps, the entire West Coast (I lived in the East Bay up north for awhile and don't remember any). And, the fact that the owner is truly from the Palermo region himself and is there literally greeting, helping, welcoming patrons, is a bonus that is almost matchless now anywhere. Tony came right over to our table and chatted warmly for as long as we wished and seemed genuinely delighted that we were there. So much so that he added extras that go beyond the ordinary and that we will never forget. Grazie de cuore, Signor Tony! As one would expect, if you know Sicilians at all, the entire restaurant was spotless, cheerful, cozy, radiating quality and a celebration of the culture itself. The place mats are an education in themselves (see my pictures). But, what sets Palermo Ristorante apart from any other place in the greater Los Angeles area (and maybe the world, LOL??) is the food. When Tony assured us every single thing we would eat was made from scratch, he wan't exaggerating. For example, you may have had fried mozzarella elsewhere, but I guarantee you, not like this. Fresh marinara, golden cubes lightly breaded and toasty - squisita! Take a look at my photos to see what else we ordered. The menu is deep and that means (as if we need any excuse) we will have to return often and try every single non-meat item on it. As a vegetarian for over 40 years, I had no problem identifying a long list of dishes that I absolutely must try soon. Even vegans will be happy here. We figured out where to put the car for free, which is easiest if you just venture down the side streets off Vermont and park in the residential areas. Then walk, especially now when the weather is lovely. The environs are charming and eclectic and we truly enjoyed seeing people doing their spring yard upgrades, every house unique. Parking on Vermont is metered and only for one hour. You will want more than an hour to savor Palermo, believe me. We loved everything about it, i.e., the location in Los Feliz (yes, it makes us joyful to be there, noi eravamo quelli felici), the subdued restful lighting, the elegant mural, celebrity photos, vast wine collection on display (wow! make a list folks, this is a bonus at Palermo) and the prompt, efficient, solicitous service. (I want to thank Alex for taking such great care of us -- she is simply the best!) We especially loved meeting and getting to know Tony, il nostro compaesano. Don't miss this jewel for lunch or dinner or just dessert and coffee.

Always great food and very friendly staff. Everyone there treats you like family! Love them all! Viva La Familia at Palermo's!!

I came here on my first date with my gf. Was recommend to me. Everything is good here. I would come with an empty stomach because you will get stuffed. The waitress was very helpful. I'll be coming back again this weekend for my 7th anniversary. This place is a gem of a restaurant. Highly recommend!

I had a very nice experience with family for dinner. There is limited parking in the back and plenty of tables and chair inside and outside dining. We went there after seeing a very nice show near there. I didn't have to wait for a table and ordered drinks. Server is attentive. It was a hard decision cause it's been 20 plus years since I've been there. I had spaghetti with meat sauce and meatballs with garlic bread and chose salad with all three dressings on sides. It was very busy but wait for food wasn't very long and was very good portions, taste and filling! Server gave me some refills and all over is great! I love to come again whenever I'm around!

A Hidden Gem in Los Feliz! This Italian & Pizza restaurant has been serving generations of patrons for over 40 years. We had a great time here and the food was quite good. They have a few seats outside but the ambience of the interior will take you back in time. If you go inside, they have pictures of some celebrities that have eaten here over the years. The waitress here was a riot, as she told us she'd been here for over 20 years and told us some wonderful stories! They have booths inside, and parking behind the building too.

This is about as good as it gets for OG Italian food in Los Angeles. The atmosphere is great, they have paintings of Italy on the walls and old-school benches and booths. Service is lightning fast! They have super delicious standard Italian dishes. Our group had Pizza, salad, lasagna, spaghetti, soup and everything was delicious. The cannoli for dessert was delicious and they even gave us a free slice of chocolate cake because we were having a hard time deciding which to order! They have a dedicated parking lot in the back which is perfect since street parking in this neighborhood is tough. I've been here a few times over the years and recently went out with a group who was looking for something different, I suggested we come here and everyone loved it! We are already planning to come back.

Ahhhh Palermo. Never disappoints! Food, service, ambiance is always Even though this isn't a regular of ours nor do we live in the neighborhood, we are always treated like regulars. Love that and it's the reason we try to get there at least once a year. When my mother in law comes, we will go back. Would love to check out spaghetti Wednesday.

This place was very cozy and homey. You can tell it's been around for a while. I went for lunch on a Thursday so it was fairly quiet however still a lot of people dining. The parking was easy in the back which I appreciate for that area especially. They brought complimentary garlic bread it was delish(a little cold). Ordered Greek salad and pizza Rosa soooo yumm even though the pizza was a bit cold it was still absolutely delicious. I put the Greek salad toppings on top of it too and it complimented it greatly. What stood out about this place was the service they were so attentive and nice and even sent over complimentary tiramisu. Would love to try more things but something tells me I might always stick to that pizza! Might order to go next time and warm it up in the airfryer for a more melty vibe.

Went here last night, as it is right by the Los Feliz 3 cinema. Excellent service and good food with a warm, low-key atmosphere. Will definitely consider another meal here when I have a movie night in the area.

Two word, PIZZA ROSA. Most delicious pizza I have ever had. I always get the Linguini and clams with calamari and the white sauce. It is honestly the best linguini and clams I have ever had. The chicken Diane over angel hair is to die for as well. I have never had anything I didn't like from Palermo's. My family has been coming to Palermo's for a little over 30 years and it is always a treat. The owner Tony is so friendly and just an all around great guy. The services is always great. My family's favorite server is Julio as he has been there since they started to go to Palermo's. Now I occasionally stop in for lunch while working in the area and bring back pizza rosa for my office as I now have got everyone addicted as well.

Made a delivery here and they gave me a pizza slice to help get through the long day. That's kindness you can't replace!

I really like the food here! The pizza was complimentary which I thought was so kind and cool to have a free sample! The food is saucy which I love tastes so authentic and fresh! The food is so filling I took so much home! I really like this place and the set up is so cute. The setting feels family oriented and nice place to celebrate occasions. The food came quick and we were seated quickly as well. The waitress was so kind and sweet and so was the valet man! Will come back

My friend and I went here for dinner last week. I've been here a few times, and it's always such a lovely experience. We wanted comfort food, and Palermo's knows how to do comfort food My eggplant parmigiana was delicious - I ended up saving the leftovers for lunch the next day. Such kind and friendly waitstaff, too! We were given complimentary sautéed mushrooms, and later tiramisu (there were a few birthday dinners going on while we were there). And to think we'd honestly just gone for garlic bread

I have been eating at this family restaurant since the 80s and I realize that it's still really good. I always have the linguini with white clam sauce baked. I ask for extra extra garlic and chive. It is delicious. We also get the cheese garlic bread with marinara sauce. Yummy. Pizza is another favorite as well as chicken Diane . The owner Tony has been giving a way free wine, appetizers and sometimes dessert. If you have to wait, why not have a glass of wine, on the house. I don't know how Tony makes any money, every time he sees a regular customer the treats them to something they definitely would not have ordered. Like Mushrooms or zucchini. Spumoni ice cream has also been on the, on the house menu.

Palermo is for the palate! This authentic Italian restaurant off Vermont Ave just before the light at Franklin Ave (where it intersects) will sweep you away with its super neighborhood charm. When you walk in you're greeted right away by amazing staff maybe even Tony aka Anthony himself (the owner). They have a selection of dressing, dry desserts and wine for purchase in the main waiting area... Which will be a very brief one. The entire restaurant is covered in paintings (of Italy), pictures (of locals), portraits (headshots also of famous folks) and touches of warmth. The menu at Palermo's has every need and wanted covered from world famous pizza (including gluten free crust) to healthy salads and savory pasta dishes (with some strong vegan options) and beyond. I'd been near this Los Feliz, Los Angeles treasure a few times over the years, but never thought to stop in and enjoy a meal or better yet (an experience). It was such a great night out with my more than special friend Art, who knows this spot very well and even has his picture on the wall in the back!! The dinner salad with THICK Italian dressing was quite unique, and had a good flavor that was both rich and distinct. We had some nice appetizers (which I believe can be modified to preference), including the marinated mushrooms. They have some limited outdoor seating in front and an abundance of booths, tables and beyond inside. As well as a full bar and did I mention ALL THE WINE... yum!! Quality everything across the board!! I'm FULL and grateful for these experience with a huge GRAZIE to Tony and everyone at Palermo's, top notch "crafting mouth-watering italian cuisine!"

Another place I've been going to for year. Great service. The place has a warm ambiance. The pizza is good, just don't get it with Onions; they don't seem to know how to cook them for the pizza. They either over cook them or under cook them, never cook them right, I'm sorry to say. The garlic bread is good. Love the Seed on it. And the Housemaid salad dress is bomb. The pasta is some of the best around.

The best if not the best pizzeria in Hollywood or one of the best pizzerias in Hollywood I should say but no it's the best for me. This pizzeria actually has some of the best marinera sauce that I've eaten and pizza too. The best part is the prices, it's so affordable and very generous. They give you the very best! That's why for me Palermo's Sicilian pizza is simply the best. The service is also so good. From the moment that I got there I felt part of the Famiglia ( family in italian). Every server there knows what they are doing there. The ambiance is of a classic Italian restaurant. Not too overly elegant but enough to feel at home. I would highly recommend this place to any pizza lover out there. The best pizza is as followed 1. Margherita pizza 2. Meat lovers/ Pepperoni

My boyfriend and I brought our two sons here today and we are just so glad we did. With the classic interior and instant hospitality, we knew we were in the right place. Tony, the owner was just so incredibly kind as was the rest of the staff and the pizza was fantastic. Honestly, there aren't enough places like this left in the world. I'll take a place like Palermo's over trendy and hip any dang day of the week! You owe it to yourself to stop in.

love this little family Italian restaurant. Good food, good service, great prices. Had the medium Special Pizza, found it to be hot, cheesy, and delicious. Server was very busy with other people, but always had time to attend to our needs, such as refills, smiles, and friendly attitude. We've been there once, maybe twice before, and will be going back soon. ps....their garlic knots are the greatest!!!

Start w Maggie my server. I felt so looked after and I have a special diet (no salt) The food was top notch Italian Family style food. The portions are large and I could have ended after a fantastic appetizer. But the Ravioli was fresh and flavorful. Bring friends and super cool for families. Reminds me of the old school downtown NYC and North Jersey spots.

Used to eat at Palermo's quite often. I've been eating there since the days that they used to serve you little plastic cups of wine while you waited to be seated. The place was always packed, because the food and service was good. Sadly over the years, the quality of their food has been taking a nose dive, I know this to be true, because I'm finding it next to impossible to find friends and relatives who will join me there, because many people I know, have come to the same conclusion, The food is extremely lackluster, of what they used to serve. Their pizza used to be excellent, especially the Palermo's special, then on one visit, the crust was completely different, as if they used to make it fresh, and had changed to a premade frozen version. Then there are the awful line up of appetizers they added to their menu, if I wanted those, I'd pick them up at Ralph's frozen section. Then the last straw, is their white sauce or Alfredo sauce, which used to be wonderful, now has a primary taste of lots of white flour and nothing else. I usually am able to convince someone to join me at Palermo's about once a year, on the belief that maybe, enough people complained, and they switched course, but alas, last night I realized that it's never going to happen, they have actually switched course years ago, and it's to a new customer base, one that hasn't a clue how good things used to be, one that has no idea what white sauce taste like without an extreme white flour taste, or good pizza crust. And finally, concerning their garlic bread. What happened? They used to be a little thinner, with a good amount of garlic butter on them, and toasted to a wonderful buttery crunch, what I got las night was thick, fairly dry and cold. The new customer base is happy with mediocre Italian food. So I think last night will be my last visit, because Italian food is my favorite, and mediocre isn't going to cut it. All that being said, the owners are still just the same, always friendly, always greeting you warmly, and the service is still wonderful, very nice staff, and I do have to say, I was in their about a year ago, and still enjoyed the Chicken Romaine Salad, and my favorite appetizer they serve when you sit down, the little slice of room temperature Margarita pizza, it's still fantastic. The Three stars are for the service, and the friendly owners. And the Ambiance of the restaurant which has remained the same over the years, which is very nice. Sad to see the quality of the food decline from what it used to be.

Nice place to dine in. Food is your average family style dishes so do npt expect 5 stars dishes. One thing the place need to improve is the service. They should slow down in serving food so quickly. They brough our dishes all at once so we felt like we were being rushed to eat and leave. Jennifer the waitress was nice and courteous Food should be served at the right temperature. So our main dishes was half cold because we did not finished our apetizer and soup/salad. Hope they will accept this constructive criticism. Recommended to git it a try another time.

Have been going there 45 yrs. The scene is intermixed from all walks of life. Great food that quickly become addictive. Some of our favorites are baked spinach tortellini, lasagna, garlic cheese bread dipped in tomato sauce, baked clam linguini, any pizza, homemade soups, tiramisu. Say hi to Tony, Bardo, and Julio. Also Tony has a nice selection of wine, olive oil and marinades to buy just to name just a few.. We always find something that is perfect for the pocketbook and our taste buds.

Seafood Italian is difficult and this places pulls it off ! The salmon dish had amazing flavors and lots of vegetables. The clam linguini was also excellent.
