Mom & Dad's Italian Restaurant

The chicken piccata with angel hair pasta and pan sauce is on point amazing there's a depth of flavor every single time that you can't match anywhere. And Miss Carolyn is so amazing.

Service was good. Went on a Thursday which is prime rib night, ordered medium it was closer to well done which wasn’t bad but would have preferred it medium. Loaded baked potato was good and so was the bread.

The good part is that the restaurant is one of the cleanest restaurants I have seen. Much care is taken to make everything look and feel well scrubbed and fresh. The staff is also as friendly as you could want. They are courteous, accommodating and helpful. The not so good is that we felt the food was average at best. The pasta sauce was not authentic, oils on the pasta dishes were vegetable and not olive and the salads were plain iceberg lettuce. The prices were fair but we would have gladly paid much more for a more delectable fare.

Decor was lovely, giving the restaurant a quaint, homey aesthetic. They were able to accommodate our party of 9 on a Saturday evening (definitely call ahead, they don't take reservations but they were able to get a table ready when we were on our way)!

The owner and waitress was wonderful and hospitable. We were celebrating an anniversary of a business and completion of our Scuba certification so they brought out a complimentary slice of their Italian Cream Cake, which was delicious!

The bread was warm and our basket was kept full (again waitress was great). My CHICKEN PICCATA was dry and the piccata sauce isn't a type of sauce that can compensate. I tried someone's CHICKEN PARMASEAN and while the chicken was still dry, the sauce added some moisture back. The LASAGNA was recommended to the table and that was much better, a bit salty for my taste but the cheese had good elasticity.

The portions were smaller than what I expected for the prices, but it was still affordable.

Overall if you're looking for Italian food, good people, and a pleasant environment in the area I think you should give this restaurant a try. My review was largely influenced by my disappoinment with my food but other members of my party raved about their experience. I would try this restaurant again if I'm back in the area, this time asking for a recommendation.

At the end of my long day I was treated with kindness & courtesy & had a delightful meal. The special of the day was Chicken Florentine & it's all home-made & delicious-o! I topped off everything with an Italian Cream Cake that would make Italians like Emarald Lagasse smile & ask for more! It was moist, creamy & had just enough pecans!
I thought the place looked familiar even though it was my 1st time there. 1 wall reminded me of something I'd seen on the TV show Restaurant Impossible... Well I was in the right place, just a few years later! Everything looks beautiful. The service is great & the food is fantastic. I'm going to be a loyal customer!
