This spot is GENUINELY great! They're one of the few mom-and-pop restaurants that put a ton of care and love into their food!
My family came in for a quick dinner, unsure what to expect, but knowing that my youngest child desired spaghetti. What we were met with was a kind, patient staff, INCREDIBLY generous portions, and an affordable, lovely family dinner!
I promise that I am NOT exaggerating about their portion sizes. Their kids' meals could easily satisfy an adult, and their 'small' grinder is enough for 2 people, easily.
We tried their meatball and provolone grinder, a spaghetti and 'pasta with butter' kids' meals, and a small pizza. All the items were tasty and delivered hot!
I wish I'd taken pictures, as the food came out hot and fresh, but it was so good we jumped right in and before we knew it, it was finished!
If I could offer one suggestion, it would be to up their atmosphere. Add some string/patio lights, make it feel like an outdoor cafe with some greenery and lights. That was the ONLY thing lacking, in my humble opinion.
I will absolutely be recommending this spot to family and friends, and would encourage you to give it a try. The prices may seem high, but I guarantee you're getting bang for your buck here,...
Read moreOkay, here goes. The cookies and baked goods were absolutely delicious, we loved them and gladly will be back for more. The calzone was perfection, everything was so yummy and fresh we were so happy with this choice, and the garlic bread was some of the best we ever had. Now saying all this, I would 100% go back for these items and great customer service..but there was one thing. We also got a pasta dish, the rigatoni sausage and peppers dinner. They forgot the salad which is no big D, mistakes happen and we had all this order to go so we didn't feel like we needed to drive back for a salad. When first trying the dish we were really taken aback because I'm so sorry to say it was very bland. Like, zero seasoning AT ALL, which was so weird because all the other food /sauce were perfectly seasoned. Also, when we tried the sausage it was the same story and very very dry. It was inedible. I removed it from my plate and it was so dry it was crumbling into a bunch of pieces. We had to unfortunately, throw the whole dish out because me or my non picky husband couldn't stomach it :( . But silver lining, if I ever want calzone or some amazing cookies or garlic bread I definitely will be going back. Just not...
Read moreMy family and I (9 in total) ate inside for the first time and we were not disappointed one bit with the food or service! As a fellow Italian, I am usually picky when it comes to sauce but this was amazing. We had lasagna, rigatoni with meat sauce and, of course, Mazzulli’s famous family style pizza (famously square!). We also managed to make room for a few desserts which were delicious as well; my favorite was the chocolate espresso cookie. They also have a good selection of canned craft beer and hard Kombucha if you’re interested. Alexis, our waitress, was the sweetest and very patient with our large family. Sarah worked the front counter and made us feel so welcomed. They were extremely busy (likely from all of the Fontana people that have waited decades for their return) but they handled it gracefully and you can tell everyone is working so hard. Thank you, we...
