Wow. This place has gone down hill..NO top shelf liquors. Asked for a Grey goose martini and was offered Titos well vodka.Asked for a hi end scotch? Aged bourbon? Forget Cognac they didn't even know what it was. Nothing. I stood in the bar for ten minutes with no one to even offer me a drink . Finally when a Bar asst. , no tender in my opinion arrived he told me to talk to the MGR. He only works there. Wow. Really! Ihad an ice tea.Chicken tasted like snake n bake.No bar service for our table and the server was kind and understanding but this cavalcade of restaurant inequities was above his way grade. This is an Italian restaurant. No veal on the menu, parm, marsala nothing. When I asked for what the specials of the day were, like fresh fish dishes I was told that the Meatball promo is going on for March madness. I spent $200 including a tip for 2 ok apps., 1 family salad,2 dinners, 4 soft drinks, and a dessert that had a petrified wood type brownie in it that was dry and unchewable. The table cloths were plastic and I called to speak to the Mgr. The following day Who called me back in a swift manner and promised to send me a gift card( Which has still yet to arrive from over 4 weeks ago and promised to upscale her bar with 1 bottle of upscale,I call it moderate (Grey Goose) and for me to call so they can make me a veal dish that I would pay for of course. Thanks for nothing. No follow up , No Gift card, etc. Nothing...I even took the time to call and try to resolve the bad experience I encountered prior to writing this review. After multiple weeks I will not be returning to be ignored and my feedback fell on deaf ears apparently. There are a few Italian restaurants in the area that are truly striving to satisfy a customers pallet. I will just go there. My advice is keep your money and enjoy a dinner at another restaurant.

Meh. That's about the best I can say. I know some people rave about the breadsticks and chicken scampi.....all of it tastes like airplane food to me. Mass-produced and pretty bland. The salad was mostly iceberg lettuce with a few olives and peppers thrown in drowned in really mediocre italian dressing. Italian dressing should be bursting with flavor. This tasted like the stuff you squeeze out of to-go packets from a fast food restaurant. Breadsticks are flabby. The entrees, of which I tasted two, tasted mainly of salt. The only part of the meal that earned this any points whatsoever were the desserts. The tiramisu was outstanding and coffee was decent. I would not choose this as place to go for a special meal out as I was very underwhelmed.

Fantastic restaurant in West Reading with top notch Italian fare and a great selection of craft brews as well. I highly recommend the chicken parmigiana and my wife loves the chicken alfredo. Whether you want pizza, sandwiches, or a full meal, you will be glad you stopped here. Always happy with the food and service we have been provided.

we were greeted by a welcoming server, seated and although we changed tables 3 times due to the air conditioning blowing cold, she was not exasperated with us at all. i had the calamari appetizer and it was outstanding! no frozen, off the truck stuff here: it was definitely homemade and one of the best tasting iâve ever had. i also had the homemade meatball appetizer with melted cheese, garlic bread and a rich, delicious tomato sauce. the rest of our party had burgers and fries and enjoyed both. i know nonnoâs is known for their pizza and i canât wait to go back to try it!

Been to Mom's several times. Food and service usually good.Was there last week with some friends. Consistently good as usual!Comment re the wine's(if you indulge), they're not great but, average at best.Would like it if they upped the quality of their wines.Never had their veal parm previously but, tried it this time. Not bad but, could use improvement. Have had better.Good desserts...if you like vanilla coconut cake, a must try! Usually on the desserttray but not this time. But, server was great...he accommodated us and "found" some for us in the back kitchen.
