I cant tell you how surprised l was when l visited yesterday, around 12.30pm! I saw a couple of tables, by the wall, with customers that appeared to be enjoying their lunch break, but it didn't look too busy. As we waited to be seated we reviewed the menu. Oh my gracious, everything looked good, but nothing could've prepared me for the experience that awaited me.
On our way to be seated we were lead around the corner to a lively, larger dining area; the only table that was empty was the one we were led to. As we passed we noticed the portion sizes, LARGE!
We chose to share the Toasted Cannelloni
(Hand-cut cannelloni filled with beef and pork and coated with batter. Finished with seasoned breadcrumbs) and Vito's Garden Salad (Generous serving of iceberg and romaine lettuce topped with cheese, mushrooms, green peppers, red onions, tomatoes, pepperoni, bacon bits and croutons) [generous is not the word, think almost the size of an olive garden salad]. The salad's veggies were crisp and juicy.
I built a 9" pizza with Chicken, Red Onions, Green Peppers, Mushrooms, Black Olives, Tomatoes, and Banana Peppers. Even with all of the veggies the thin crust was still crispy. It was delectable -I ate the whole thing. He got the MAMA'S CLASSIC MEATBALL. Fresh homemade meatballs, marinara sauce and provel cheese, on crunchy chewy French bread. Everything was amazing!
We couldn't stop complementing the food, or our waiter Luke! He was running around like his pants were on fire, but made the effort to stop by 3 times to make sure everything was ok.
I can't wait to go back!!!!
Great place for lunch! The portions are generous and the service quick. I had the lunch special - a Philly Cheese steak - which came with an excellent salad. I couldn't finish it all. The price was right and I'll add this to my list of places to return.
Great food! The French dip is on point! And I love the historic feel, charming and quaint. Our server was very sweet.
Never disappoints. Definitely try the buffalo chicken cheese bread. The monster pizza is the best as well. Jerry and Barb are great, friendly owners.
Can't say how much I love this place!!! The food is delicious, the prices are fantastic, and they have the friendliest staff. I have been there for a catered party, an office lunch, and a date night. You will always leave with delicious leftovers, as well.
