We have been here numerous times before. It is one of our go-to places for a nice sit down lunch, even on short time. During the lunchtime hours, they offer express lunch. So, when we arrive we just tell them we are on break and they rush the order. Generally we just order a large pizza, which is pretty quick anyway. Our favorite is the Margherita pizza with EXTRA sauce. At lunchtime, a house salad is included free of charge in addition to a basket of dinner rolls with seasoned olive oil for dipping. I enjoy their house Italian dressing as it is one of the my favorite dressing ANYWHERE. Their dinner rolls are warm and crusty. Pizza has a nice crust: not too hard and not to chewy. Cheese on the Margherita pizza is real fresh mozzarella balls, which is nice. Sauce is sweet. Overall, we had another great visit with Bertucci. Our waiter was excellent. He had us in and out in no time at all. He was friendly and professional. Food was excellent. Atmosphere is casual, yet nice. There is a bar area with TVs on location if that interests you. Prices are decent. I would recommend and we will be back!Thank you, daisyferret1, for being a loyal customer and for writing this rave review! At Bertucciâs, we strive to provide delicious, authentic Italian food and world-class service, so we're happy to see that reflected on your visit! We appreciate you sharing such wonderful feedback about your entire dining experience! Thank you for taking the time to write such a detailed and thoughtful review.

Stopped in here the other day for lunch on the go. I was getting ready to leave a store nearby and decided to call ahead with my order. I was quoted 10-15 minutes. I arrived early, but they rushed my order once I checked-in. I probably had my order within 10 minutes of calling. That was surprising since the place seemed busy when I arrived.Overall, the place is clean and spacious. It was bright and welcoming. No waitstaff, just a take out counter and some tables for dine-in at should you choose. Bagged chips and snack cakes are available in addition to grab-no go drinks. They also sell some pastas, Italian cookies from NY and etc. Cookies looked good, but I did not purchase this time. Prices are reasonable. Food was excellent. I enjoyed my sub. Order was 100% accurate. Staff was friendly and service was fast. Bottom Line: BEST Italian subs around. Highly recommended.

I was not expecting much from a restaurant chain as I usually avoid them, especially the big 3 pizza chains. But I was pleasantly surprised. I got their Lunch Meat Stromboli, their version of an Italian Stromboli, and added pepperoni, bacon, sausage, black olives, mushrooms and hot peppers to it. Very tasty. Had the right amount of grease to add to the flavor, with out pouring out like some places. Prices were also good.

Enjoyed eating here. The early dining specials were very reasonable, the Italian wedding soup was the standout of the meal. The best part was the cannoli. Crispy shell, filling creamy and sweet, but not overly so. The waiter was very sweet, but didn't seem to listen very well. Would ask a question, nod agreement to your answer, then come back to the table moments later and ask 'ummm, what did you say?' Everything came out properly, though.

I used to go to Rita's on FREE water ice day each year so I could try a new flavor. Over the years, I have not been particularly impressed with the flavors that I have tried. I have tried regular peach, blueberry, lemon, cherry, mango and cookies-n-cream over the years. The lemon and cherry were decent, but the blueberry and cookies-n-cream were terrible. I never really cared too much for their water ice or cream ices. It always seemed kind of grainy and had a funny taste (like chlorine/chemicals in the water). Since it was FREE I didn't feel like I was losing anything, except the time waiting in the SUPER long lines on FREE water ice day. I kind of just go for the tradition and hoping I will find a flavor that I WILL like.This year on FREE water ice day, I was pleasantly surprised. I tried their Swedish Fish flavor and Peeps flavor (half & half). My husband tried their Georgia Peach. The texture was much smoother and the chemical taste was gone. I don't know what changed, but it is MUCH better. The Swedish Fish flavor was GREAT. It tastes just like the candy...SWEET. The Peeps flavor was OK. It was not real sweet. I was expecting more of a sugary marshmallow taste, but it actually tasted more like IBC Cream Soda. My husband's Georgia Peach was really sweet and tasted almost like those gummy candies--Peachie-O's. The serving size of the regular ice is a pretty good size. I actually wish they would offer a Junior size for the kids & those who just want a small treat. Overall, the quality of their water ice has gotten better & the some of the flavors are fun too. The flavors change periodically, so just check the board for "Today's Flavors". They usully have the traditional cherry & lemon. Plus you will usually find some other fruit flavors like mango, tangerine, strawberry, green apple, grapefruit, peach, key lime and etc. You might see chocolate or vanilla. It just depends on the day. They usually have a sugar free flavor or two available too!! They also serve frozen custard plain OR mixed with water ice to form various concoctions. You can get the water ice layered with the custard (Gelati) or blended with water ice to form a "shake" (Misto). You can also get candy pieces mixed into custard & water ice (Blendini). For coffee lovers you can get a Ritaccino, which is a coffee flavored mixture of water ice & custard . They also have something they call a Slenderita--which looks like their frozen custard, but is suppposed to be fat-free.I liked their Swedish Fish flavor SO much--that I actually went back to BUY their water ice a few weeks ago. The line was super long. I probably stood in line for 20 minutes and it never moved. So, I gave up and left. However, I did go back a few days ago & there was NO line!! So, I tried their Gelati for the 1st time. It is the layered frozen custard and water ice treat. I of course got the swedish fish flavor. The custard is SUPER creamy, but just was not something I enjoyed. It tasted like fluffed fake ice cream topping and almost had the consistancy of marshmallow fluff. BUT, the swedish fish water ice was GREAT again. I should have stuck with the plain ice---as it would have been cheaper and better by itself! Mixing the water ice with the custard almost tasted like a cream version of the regualr water ice. Overall, I think I would recommend Rita's. Their water ice has improved and the serving sizes are generous. I just wish they had a junior size at a lower price. The smallest water ice is $2.25 and the smallest Gelati is $3.45. It won't break the bank, but sometimes you just want a little taste. Service is OK. Sometimes it can be SUPER slow. So just be prepared to wait IF you see a line out front. There is no on-site seating, so be prepared to eat it on-the-go OR in your car.TIPs: They do run specials from time to time. Currently they are doing 99 cent frozen custard cones sales on Wednesday. Check their online calendar for specials (Tuesdays & Wednesdays). Sign up for the birthday club to receive offers and promotions (like buy one-get one).

The last two times I purchased the French Fries, they tasted like they had been cooked once then recooked. They were also lukewarm. I used to love those fries because they were freshly cooked, hot, crispy and fluffy inside. I'm not using Amore any more.

Marco and his staff delivered 150% on our special day. Everyone raved about the food, service, and organization. When do you hold a large event and no one has a negative thing to say. That is a tribute to this restaurant. Marco worked with us and delivered on every aspect of our experience. I am still getting calls raving about the meal.I highly recommend this restaurant for well prepared food, excellent service, and a great dining experience.

Arrived at a little after 5 p.m. to place an order and the place was pretty busy with take out. Cashier/order taker was very friendly and efficient. As I waited for my pizza a gentleman sitting next to me said he had been a customer for about 10 years stating the service is always good and the food excellent. I noticed while waiting that the staff seemed to know just about everyone by name. The pizza was very good, though it should have had a few more minutes in the oven as the crust was a bit doughy. I'll definitely give this place another try.

Trattoria Di Napoli coordinates an event with our local school for a spaghetti dinner once a year. They serve up salads, spaghetti, ravioli, Italian bread and meatballs as part of the event. Our kids loved the pasta and bread. I personally like the pasta and salad. I personally am not a fan of the meatballs, but their ravioli are magnificent. My husband LOVES their ravioli too! WE love that they support the local schools by catering our event each year. This is an event that we look forward to each year.
