DiMattia's — Restaurant in Allentown

Honestly, this place is a joke and I do not understand all the good reviews. Unbearably hot, to the point we were all literally sweating. Ran out of the appetizers we wanted. No choice of salad dressing. Bread looked like what I buy at Shoprite down the road. Meals for 20-30 dollars which are small portions, and don't make sense. Descriptions of items not accurate, linguine and clam sauce with surprise! spinach, capers, and mushrooms? server did not know the menu, got a double order of veggies for a side dish and it was basically 2 pieces of broccoli and some onions. One person's meal never came, until we threatened to walk out if it wasn't on the table in 5 minutes when we were all done with ours already, and all he ordered was spaghetti. Another person's "side" dish was what the meal already was described as coming with? Order a baked potato and never got it. Got the bill and it was added up wrong.... I mean... I can go on and on. What shows I am not exaggerating is it was our table and 2 others at 7pm on a Friday night. This is laughable and no one knows what they are doing. Stay clear of this place unless you want to be severely let down. Plenty of real Italian,upscale places around that don't need to try so hard to impress that actually know what...

Best place in Allentown New Jersey to get food. The chef is outstanding. The customer service is out of this world. The steak is phenomenal along with the penne pasta. The chef has been cooking for many years. It is a family owned restaurant. Coming here and eating the food is just a little part of the experience. Meeting the chef is even more of a greater gift in life that I could’ve ever experienced. This restaurant is hands-down the best in all of New Jersey. He can cook anything.

First experience at DiMattias Lounge & Restaurant was very good. The building itself is located in a quaint old town. The inside is old, charming and has lots of character. It’s very appealing and cozy. The overall meal was very tasty. The mixed vegetables, sautéed mushrooms and steaks were delicious! The salad to start the meal was just iceberg with too much vinegar, couple onions and one tomato. The lemon drop martinis - made perfect. Based on the side of pasta, I personally would not recommend pasta at those prices. We did enjoy cheese cake at the end of our meal. The waitress was personable and friendly. The only problem was there was only one waitress and bartender. Luckily we weren’t in a hurry, though we were getting hungry. I recommend DiMattia’s Lounge & Restaurant for a quiet dinner out. They do have a few tables outside. Remember service is slow so go before you’re too...
