the local's frequent Milano's, as it is definitely off the normal tourist track. actually easily found from I-291, St James exit. parking can be an issue, as the lot is small, but parking is available on side streets without a hassle.very friendly staff. somewhat noisy, but cheerful. standard Italian fare. portions are huge. I had stuffed eggplant, quite delicious. they serve it with a small house salad or soup. those who had the tortellini really loved them. comes with a side of pasta. you can't finish this meal, unless you bring a huge appetite. I was here with 9 others, and everyone enjoyed the meal, including some who tried the pizza. good drinks selection, full bar service.

I had the luncheon special seared scallops. They were perfectly seared and were among the best I've had. The presentation was nice. They were served with a swirl of sweet potato and 3 or 4 stalks of asparagus roasted with a bacon wrap. Service was good. My friend had a salad with chicken and said it was good. There's a nice view of the pond at lunch time.

Neighborhood Pizza & Pasta House offers a good pizza for a reasonable cost. Brought one home last night with onion, olives, mushrooms, and pepperoni which was on a thin crust ($13.45 for an 18" cheese pizza plus $1.50 per extra topping). Little over-cooked, but still very good. Staff is always friendly and our pizza was ready last night in 20 minutes. Just a note, they have moved to 2481 Boston Road across from Post Office Park and have a much larger operation and more food choices than before (including a large dining area).

When the first location opened its doors in Agawam more than 20 years ago, it was a terrific "BYOB" option.....unique pasta dishes served in the iron pans. Many years later and a couple of relocations/expansions to the business, they've since acquired a liquor license so the great value of BYOB has disappeared and though the food is still good, the decor and trendy experience has grown tired. The Wilbraham location is positively exhausted! Not a bad option on a Monday night when other places are closed though.
6. Indian Orchard Pizzeria
Reviewed By PaulZielinski
This still-family owned place used to have some of the BEST pizza in the area from the 60's, 70's and 80's. Pizza was tasty with generous, delicious toppings. Unfortunately, since the mid to late 90's through today, the pizza's taste has become unpredictable with minimal and inconsistent toppings provided. Still a good value price-wise, but if you want flavor and consistency, look elsewhere.

The eggplant grinder here reminded me of the sandwiches I could buy in Providence when I was younger. I thought the price was steep for a grinder, but when I opened the package and saw the size of it, I decided it was a bargain. Two of us split the grinder and half was enough for me.

I love Olive Garden. I guess this is a place you either love or hate, but as 'Italian" type foods go, they have it down pretty good. Consistent. Good prices, good selection. That being said, our original waitress was terrible, sorry, when are restaurants going to get it through their heads that you don't allow your teen to mid 20's staff to call mature couples "GUYS"? This is highly insulting to the women of the group, and I hear this all the time iid all sorts of retail and service places, and it needs to stop. So, when she came up and called my husband and I 'guys' I corrected her that I found it disrespectful to be called a 'guy.' So what does she do? She immediately acknowledges it, apologizes, and uses the word 'guys' again! Then she says, 'sorry, guys!' By now, yes, I am upset. She just couldn't say a sentence without using the word GUYS! So, we ended up with a different waitress, who did NOT call us guys, and who understood that doing this is insulting to women, and certainly to someone who is old enough to be their grandmother, and who ended up with a very nice 20% plus tip. If that first waitress had continued to be our server, she would have gotten a VERY nominal tip, if any. That being said, and edicite aside, our meals were delicious. The bread sticks are still hot and wonderful, and the salad plentiful and loaded with all sorts of stuff. However, if seemed to me that the portions for the regular meals, especially my fettuccine Alfredo, were considerably smaller. It almost looked like I got either the luncheon portion or the 'before 5" portion, although I paid for the regular meal. Usually there is enough to bring home and have close to a second meal, but there was barely a few mouthfuls left over. We tried their new spritzers. At $3.50 they are just soda water and some flavoring, and not worth the money. I thought the strawberry one was too sweet and too chemical tasting. Although some disappointments, that would not deter me from going back. But they really have to train their staff better and stop using the word 'guys'.

New Pizza parlor in town we decided to try. They have an authentic Italian brick stove that takes 4 -5 hrs to "stoke up"~ that gets them to 750-800º! I would suggest calling in your order, whether you eat in our out, as it takes EXACTLY 35 minutes to make a perfect pizza here, The wait is worth it! Call it in and you'll get it faster. Without a bar there's not much to do.Sauce is excellent along with toppings and crusty dough, although we thought they were a bit stingy with the eggplant, which is pretty cheap in July! Their "thin" large (18") pizza was enough for 4 servings for $20 bucks, and well worth the price. We have had pizza's from these stoves and they are really good.We will come back. The bar is not yet open, so I'd hope B.Y.O.B. comes quickly, as Massachusetts doesn't!Good luck to the owners. There's a lot of competition for the pizza business, but in my opinion, you have my vote!

We have been getting pizza and grinders at Palermo's for years. The pizza is outstanding--thin crust combo is what we always order, and are never disappointed. The grinders are also very good. There are a few booths in the restaurant; we only do takeout. Service is very efficient.

This restaurant is so good you need a reservation for dinner almost every night. I was so happy they decided to open for lunch. Friends and I stopped by and had a pleasant experience. The hostess and waitstaff were first rate. Our meals were delicious. I recommend the seafood combo - fresh fish, scallops, and shrimp. Never disappointed.
