Dominic’s Santos Italian Cafe

9 November, 2010 | Italian | By: Mrs Z

Pretty good food and service.  Being the nephew of Mike and George (Santos) and the others, there were several identical menu items (presumably family recipes), but a couple of new and different of his own. Everything was very fresh tasting.

Stella’s

Just so-so Italian place in a little strip center. Mediocre (a little below-average actually)  food, and the service was not so good. One young girl in the whole place who functioned as the hostess, server and cashier.  Absolutely no reason to go back.

Caffe Roma

24 August, 2010 | Italian | By: Mr Z

This was a fallback since the original place chosen (right next door) was closed for vacation (sometimes it pays to call ahead) but this turned out okay. Another one with NO liquor license though, and the server had ZERO personality.  The bright spot was that the prices were very reasonable and the sauce was delicious.

Vento’s

OMG – totally overpriced, the food was terrible; the service was OK (barely) but a very limited menu and it certainly wasn’t “Italian” as they claimed to be. We could have made a mortgage payment for what it cost for the 2 of us.  Such a shame since it’s in a beautiful setting and could be […]

Biscotti’s Italian

10 August, 2010 | Italian | By: Mr Z

NO liquor license (we REALLY should have called first).  It had promise and the food was pretty good, but service was unacceptably horrible.  The servers were very nice, so I suspect the problem was with the kitchen.  We ended up with the entire bill being ‘on the house’ PLUS dessert to go.

Bistro at Hammond Corner

Great place.  Cool décor and excellent Italian food.  Owned by the same people that own D’Agnese’s, so we had no doubt it would be outstanding – and it was!

Conti’s Italian Cafe

8 June, 2010 | Italian | By: Mrs Z

This was amazing, awesome, excellent Italian food!  Can you tell we loved it.  It had been recommended by a friend and after several months, we finally tried it.  It’s most definitely a dive place and nothing to look at, but inside it’s clean with good service and amazing (inexpensive) food.

DaDonna’s

25 May, 2010 | Italian | By: Mrs Z

Everything was very good, but unfortunately I didn’t care for their red sauce. The place was very empty, even for a Tuesday so the service was pretty good.  They have a nice menu, but there are just way too many VERY GOOD Italian restaurants that we’d rather go to, so doubtful we’ll revisit this one.

Benvenuti

Wow – outstanding Italian food and definitely more to look at on the inside than outside.  Everything was just great – menu, service and the FOOD!!!

Bruno’s

4 May, 2010 | Fine Dining, Italian | By: Mr Z

MAGNIFICENT!!  I can’t say enough good things about Bruno’s.  A very cool little authentic Italian place which was jam-packed on a Tuesday night.  We were initially a little nervous since nothing about the neighborhood, nor the outside hint at what’s waiting when you get inside, but SO glad we overlooked that.  The food was beyond […]
