Provino's Italian Restaurant — Restaurant in Rome

We have driven past Provino's a hundred times over the years and have always wanted to give it a try, but for some reason, kept going to the Italian restaurant down the street because we knew we liked it and we liked getting the unlimited salad and bread with our meals. My mother-in-law wanted to go to Provino's for Mother's Day and I can assure, we will not be driving past Provino's again! They far exceeded our expectations! We accidentally got skipped on the seating list and the manager made sure we got seated immediately and he even put in an order for a complimentary appetizer sampler for us, which was delicious. It came with crispy fried zucchini, fried artichoke hearts, fried cheese ravioli and mozzarella sticks. Then came the salad with their house Italian dressing that comes with so many different toppings and the most DELICIOUS garlic rolls I've ever eaten! They are soft, warm, yeast rolls brushed with olive oil and lots of roasted garlic. They were amazing and you can have more salad and rolls if you want! I had chicken parmigiana with fettuccine alfredo. The chicken was tender and delicious and the fettuccine was super creamy and yummy. The other members of my party had a sampler that came with chicken parmigiana, fettuccine alfredo and lasagna and they both enjoyed their meals and said the lasagna was great! To top off the great experience was our server, Mary. She was super friendly, attentive and offered suggestions to help us decide. She took such great care of us, it was the best service we have had in a long time! We can't wait to go back and try...

Dinner at Provinos was nothing short of amazing. Seated within 15 minutes of arriving at a quaint 2 seater booth. Intimate and romantic.

Ordered a glass of pinot grigio and s.o ordered a beer. We choose the calamari for our appetizer. Not a heavy batter and very tender. The marinara was to die for. Chunky and bursting with flavor, and slightly warm.

Salad was brought next, a large bowl full of chopped green mix. Onion, mushrooms, beets and chick peas topped with mozzarella. House made Italian dressing, I would be lying if I said I didn't want to lick the bowl.

Dinner arrived shortly after along with our rolls. I ordered the Cioppino s.o ordered chicken parmasian. His was cooked perfectly and he cleaned his plate. Mine was out of this world. I've never had Cioppino before and I would recommend to any seafood lover. It is brought out in the pot it is cooked in. Packed full of muscles, claims, shrimp and snapper with a few scallops all on top of linguini pasta.

To top of the already amazing food, customer service was top notch. Haley was our server and she attentive and charming. Very welcoming and great conversation and banter. She definitely has an knack for hospitality.

Two thumbs...

Provino's is a classic Italian restaurant with an upscale feel. It's a great place. It's cozy. as well as, family oriented. Kate, my server, was professional, courteous, friendly, and informative. It was a pleasure to meet her. The garlic rolls are to die for. The salad was colorful and contained a variety of different vegetables, and the house made Italian dressing was a perfect combination of oil, vinegar and herbs and spices.The spaghetti was cooked to al dente perfection. The eggplant parmesan was absolutely delicious, and the portion sizes were very generous. This is a great place to take your sweetheart on Valentines day or a special occasion as well as a family dinner experience. . The prices are affordable and you really get your money's worth. They offer a free meal upto $14.95 on your birthday.(make sure to bring your identification ) They offer wine served by the glass or you can also purchase the bottle. The appetizer menu has a lot of options. The dessert menu features many Italian delicacies. They also serve authentic spumoni ice cream, which is very good and hard to find anywhere else. All drinks have free refills. I highly recommend Provino's for...
