10. Palace Pizza & More

At the recommendation of friends we stopped by for dinner. We ordered a side of garlic bread (delicious but only half an order) and a plate of spaghetti and meatballs (over cooked spaghetti but the meatballs were outstanding) and a small steak and cheese (incredible). It was a Saturday night so it wasn't surprising that it was a little slower. I wasn't prepared for the overlooked pasta with burnt pasta served or the server telling us the other half of the garlic bread fell on the floor and it was coming right up. It never came. Not exactly what we had originally ordered. No apologies either. It's a clean establishment with pleasant workers but it appeared they were lacking a leader and manager tonight (9/12/15). We won't be coming back unless it is on the house.

I brought my grandson here for dinner tonight. He ordered a cheese pizza with a glass of chocolate milk. The pizza was excellent with a very thin crust, just the way we like it. There are many toppings offered (he usually goes with pepperoni) with the price of the pizza depending on how many toppings you add. I think the basic price was under $7..very reasonable. I ordered the veal Piccata with artichoke hearts and that ws also delicious. The veal was melt in my mouth tender. It also came with a choice of soup or salad and spaghetti or ziti. I went with the salad and spaghetti..tons of food for me, so we had plenty of leftovers to bring home. The total bill around $25. I will happily return to this restaurant again...also my waitress was terrific!

I always stop here for their great to-go pizza deal, but they also have excellent sit-down dinners too. There is plenty of parking across the street, and the atmosphere and food are great. The staff is very friendly. Get 10 pizza box proof-of-purchases; and you will get a free pizza. Two rabbit ears up!!(\ (\( -.-)o_(â)(â)

Went to try Riccardi's tonite. Never ate there before. Waiting area is next to an open kitchen. During the 10 minutes while we were there I watched the guy topping pizzas run his fingers thru his hair and another prep guy touch his nose and face. After that I didn't have much of an appetite. Some things are better unseen.

This restaurant is tough to find unless you're not a local but definitely worth the trip. A real family place with friendly wait staff. Not alot of tables which makes it very cozy but not noisy. The line up of italian entrees is outstanding...I am systematically working my way through the menu. The pasta as you would hope is excellent in whatever configuration you chose and the sauces are superb. As the entrees are very generous, I am afraid I have no comment on the desserts but they look very good. Cafe Italia is a "go to" place for my wife and me.

When making a reservation for a family of 6 was abruptly told âyou have to be out by 7:30â. Didnât see this would be problamatic, although taken aback by this âwarningâ.Arrived on time and were seated immediately. Wait staff arrived with menus momentarily.... the rush was on. Throughout the delicious flavorful and nicely prepared meals. (We ordered 6 nice meals, appetizers and a couple of tasty bottles of wine. Interruptions and constant visits from waitstaff was way beyond attentive but nagging and bothersome. At one point a member of our party, fork in hand was asked: âAre you done, can I remove your plate?âUnfortunate a very nice meal was compromised by the constant feeling we were being rushed to vacate our seats. We skipped after dinner drinks and desserts and safely exited 25 minutes before the assigned 7:30 witching hour .... Nice meals, very rude service from the receptionist to the wait staff. On the bright side if youâre in a hurry youâll have a good meal.

5 of us arrived at the Pasta House last night (6/19/19) to celebrate my mom's 70th birthday. I had called previously for a reservation for 6 pm. Both times I had contacted the restaurant the person on the other end was courteous, friendly yet professional (originally we were a party of 6, but lost one, so I called to update them) My parents and son had arrived first and were immediately seated in a round corner booth (what a great table) they were greeted and drinks were served. We arrived shortly after them, and were greeted with a warm smile by our waiter Ryan. Our drinks arrived, we took a few extra minutes to decide, Ryan was super patient with us, as for most of us it was our first visit to the Pasta House and with such a large menu it took a bit of time for us to decide. Our meals were excellent, Chicken Marsala was "spot on" as my fiance' said. My cornbread/chourico sfuffed haddock was out of this world. My son had the frutti di mare, the birthday girl had the steak tips and my step dad had the cioppino. All our meals were hot, cooked to the proper temp and just plain ol' out of this world. Ryan was attentive (even though they were really busy), yet non obtrusive, and even took a little time to talk "cars" with my Bob! We opted for desserts, 2 frozen ice creams and an espresso martini for the newly 21 year old - my kid's got good taste! I would highly recommend the Pasta House for a special occasion, actually for any occasion! I would also ask for Ryan!Hi Penny, Thank you for taking the time to write such a wonderful review! We greatly appreciate it and hope to see you again soon! Thank you, Mario

I've heard rave reviews about this restaurant, but that was for the pizza. I should have had pizza. I ordered manicotti. Supposedly, it also had sausage, but I couldn't find one iota of sausage. Ribbon thin, very sparse cheese, and literally buried in sauce. The garlic bread was delicious, however. Prices are very reasonable, but it's cash only. Get the square, take debit cards, and improve the quality of the food because this manicotti dish is pathetic.

After my daughter's raving about Bricks for months we finally tried it.. I have to say ravings are in order. Nothing like an authentic brick oven pizza. At Bricks you won't find the toppings piled high. But the amount they put is just right. The crust has the fresh baked crunch, the sauce is zesty and the cheese is gooey, what else could one ask for. As for the toppings, you think of it, they have it.. I'm a plain Jane, ok in my case Mike. But I love the Margherita Pizza. Fresh basil, that zesty sauce and there top of the line ooey gooey mozzarella cheese. Their white pizza is just as delicious such as their CARMINE. White pizza with roast garlic, caramelized onions and pungent gorgonzola cheese. The list goes on. If you haven't stopped and had a slice your missing out. The only thing wrong is its hard to eat just one..
