Very good food in a nicely renovated restaurant. Years ago I remember Mimmo's and was pleasantly surprised at how the expansive new grounds make a good dining experience. The chicken masala was garlicky and delicious. The plate was large and filling and plenty of fresh mushrooms onboard. Garden salad was good with the addition of fresh mozzarella and light croutons added to it. Starting with the calamari as an appetizer, sauce was good, a bit acidy but fared well with the ocean dwelling rings. The calamari consisted of only rings and no tentacles, for those that may need that information, and was cooked well and not rubbery. Although I prefer a bit more crunch to my breading, the taste and consistency made up for that. 2 large chicken portions smothered in masala with pasta hidden underneath presented well and tasted very good. Accompanied with lite rolls and butter, the rolls had an almost croissant consistency which was a pleasant surprise. I also sampled their ravioli which was served with shrimp, chicken, red peppers and artichoke. They were cooked well and not overdone, the sauce was creamy and satisfying. The booths are large and accommodating as well as a friendly staff. There is a take out pizzeria side that I did not try on this visit. Grounds were clean and staffed well. Waitress was accommodating and asked how the meal was and if we needed anything else several times. Menu is large and a full bar with specials available. Family friendly with lots of room and a banquet room in the back. I will admit the music that was playing wasn't overly loud but I could hear a somewhat dreary cluster of old Christmas tunes. Normally I tune most of that out but the selection was relatively dreary for the time I was there. Great food, good service in an easy to get around, nice looking restaurant, recomended.

Just had my husband's work Christmas party here, and can't say enough how much we enjoyed it. The atmosphere was beautifully candlelit, but not too dark, with Christmas music subtly playing in the background. There was even a little light display out on the beautiful paved patio that we could view from our table...nice touch! The service was EXCEPTIONAL. Every few minutes someone was stopping at our table to see if we needed anything, either from the bar or clearing dishes. More importantly, they wanted to be sure we were enjoying our food, and just having a nice time. The bartender made an excellent wine selection for me when I couldn't decide, and even had me sample it first. The food was excellent. I wish I had taken pictures of the beautiful display of appetizers: from calamari with warm marinara, marinated mozzarella and other assorted meats ( including my favorite, prosciutto), cheeses and fruit, and olives, to bruschetta. There was a salad course, but I had to skip it to for there to be any chance of room for dinner and dessert. The main course was just as good: chicken parmesan, homemade bolognese with pasta, penne a la vodka, sausage and peppers, garlic green beans and homemade buttery mashed potatoes. For dessert there was an amazing selection of small bite desserts, which I thought was a fantastic idea. This way, you could try bites of all different things without wasting entire pieces. There were, of course, cannolis, chocolate cheesecake, plain cheesecake, mini cream puffs and eclairs, along with a ton more. We really enjoyed ourselves and will continue to come to this beautiful restaurant. Thank you for the wonderful time!!!

Amazing food and great atmosphere! We've only ever gotten take out a few times but it's one of my favorite restaurants for the feeling you get in the place. Nice decor throughout, clean tables and kitchen. Plenty of seating but their outdoor seating is the best part. Probably about 30 tables, great landscaping and a waterfall which is hard to see in my pictures because it was dark when we got take out the other night. Friendly staff. Also, they have a Dinner for 4 special which is $35-55 depending on your entree. It's a great value and is actually more than enthusiastic food for 4 people. You get an entree, big salad and rolls. We've gotten the Chicken Picata a few times and I highly recommend it! The shrimp scampi is great too but in my opion the Picata is the way to go. The wings aren't bad but to me not as good as some other places. The hot sauce had a great flavor but not extremely hot so don't go mild if you like a little heat in your wings. Antipasto was a nice side order and the Pepperoncini appetizer wasn't what we were expecting because it wasn't the normal pepperoncini peppers you'd expect but itv was flavorful and a nice appetizer for something different. Highly recommended Italian restaurant!

Love this place and have been going since I’ve moved into the area for pizza. Mike, your manager, was great at handling my phone call. I went through your website to order delivery and got redirected to DoorDash (I’ve grown to not like DoorDash over the last year here in this area because of the coming reason and some other ones outside of pizza orders) and placed my order for two pizzas. One plain and one half mushroom and half bacon. The plain was for my children and I’m happy that arrived great for them. However the topping pizza ran off the pie. But since I ordered through your website my DD account didn’t pick it up for me to leave as many bad reviews or notes as I could which was why I had reached out to your establishment. Not holding any of this against you guys. I will not use door dash moving forward though. Love your food. Take care -guy who will be getting his lazy ass up more now.

fantastic food, that vodka sauce is so flavorful! The lobster ravioli were amazing and came with a generous sized lobster on top The peel and eat shrimp were so plentiful for $16 and the mozzarella fritti for $13, the 3 of us were pretty full by the time our entrees came The lobster papadelle comes with their homemade signature pasta and their blush vodka sauce. Not pictured, they had waygu beef burgers for about $18 or so, dad liked it! They have a Canoli flight unfortunately we forgot about because the Oreo martini shaker for $20 was soooooo good we didn't need Canoli haha. They had a bunch of flavors to choose from for Canoli filling flavor (peanut butter, Nutella, and more- see photo) My only comment is that the Caesar salad dressing was very oily and vinegary, I ended up not eating it. I wish I had got a garden salad with blue cheese. Everything else was perfect for me!

Shout out to this beautiful atmosphere, delicious Gluten Free option Restaurant! Entire staff from the beginning to our server Ashley was more than accommodating, friendly & understanding. I booked via Open Table without issue - reservation was not transmitted albeit, confirmation was received. Front desk staff was extremely confident they were able to accommodate the reservation & graciously seated us. Waitress Ashley eased our concerns communicating with the chef we could not take any chance with cross contamination & clearly labeled allergy “Gluten Free” The Gluten Free Pizza was served with a sealed gluten free pizza cutter which automatically proved their chef was educated on cross contamination concerns ~ pizza was more than scrumptious & the salad served crispy & cold with Gluten Free dressing. Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone with Gluten concerns!
