We got the walnut Gorgonzola salads to go at a recommendation from a local. They were huge and easily feed two people or be two meals. I missed a fruit such as apple or cranberry, and the walnuts halves are too big to eat in one bite. Other than that, they were very good.

Wait staff can't get to tables because there are too many tables. Noise level highest of any restaurant ever. Can't hear people at same table talk to each other.Just another Southern Italian restaurant red sauce over everything. Nothing to write home about except prices. Highly priced for mediocre food

Love the pizza here. Always fresh and tasty! The potato pie is delicious and the wings with sautéed onions are so good!!! We've been here several times now and never had a bad experience. Service is always good and friendly. Prices are very reasonable.

Was there last night to dinner. Good crowd. Friendly staff. Good bread brought to table. Linguine with white clam sauce, veal parm, salmon dish. All good portions and tasty. Very reasonable too. Bring your own bottle of wine saves a few bucks too. They give you wine glasses. Good steady place for a family dinner.

I took my employees out for a celebrative dinner for a special event. We had a private room with two wait staff assigned exclusively to our room. The food was presented family style with replenaments once the plate was depleted. We had: two types of salad; two types of pasta; two types pf appetizers; and two types of main entrees; an assortment of small items for dessert and coffee. Along with the main dinner unlimited beer and sangria. Each item was presented with expertise, the quality of the food was excellent, the service extremely attentive. If the regular portion of this restaurant is the same, this is the place to go!

We ordered our entrees and appetizers delivered because of the weather. Bad mistake. The food was delivered and the cardboard tops were pressed down into the aluminum dish. They were soaked with the liquid from the entree. The salads and bread were fine but some of the liquid sauce dripped out of the containers into the cardboard container used for delivery. What a mess!!The food was good. The avocado, tomato and chicken dishes were tasty but they gave very little chicken. That's usually the problem with takeout or delivery service. You never get a good meal. This service was no better. The sausage were few and over cooked and dry. The pasta dishes with garlic and oil were fine. Less learned here. Don't order out or have delivery from this restaurant. Not the best food gotten when we dined in it was much better. Best of luck to those who choose not to listen to this advice or order a pizza instead.

Federici's is a great restaurant that has been in the neighborhood forever. All of the food is great, but the pizza is the clear winner. The pizza is thin crust, crispy and absolutely delicious. The house salad is also a very good option, it is served with provolone, salami and their house made creamy Italian.Thank you for writing a review and giving us 5 stars. I would love to be known as the neighborhood restaurant with the best house dressing(creamy italian) and the best thin crust pizza around. And without a doubt, I believe we accomplished that now for 98 years. Mike Federici

Reservations a must since this restaurantâs reputation is pulling in crowds. Easy access from Rt 9S. Greeted and seated quickly. Great apps incl stuffed rice balls and grilled octopus (first time trying it....delicious). BYOB helped everyone enjoy their favorite wine without running up a monster bar bill. Entres included veal chop special, grilled salmon and a meat stew. Servings were generous, but so were the prices. All in, still a great restaurant worth visiting.

This is the first time I was at Ciros. The service, food and ambiance was very good. A hidden gem on Buckelew Ave. They have several rooms (bar area, dining, party room). Reasonably priced and nice size portions. Everyone enjoyed their appetizers, salads and dinners. Service (owner's daughter) was very good.They did a nice job with the birthday dessert. I would definately return again and recommend it.
