    Chicken franchise
    Politia M.

    Service was great, entrees came with a side salad and warm bread. The girls loved the chicken franchise. The ambiance was nice and relaxing.

    Chicken Francese

    Great service, very friendly staff. I wasn't expecting a linen table cloth eatery from a pizzeria and bar. There were a few menu items I was eyeing. Everything I ordered was delicious, cooked well, and a good value.

    My coworker and I went to Bazzarelli for an early Thursday dinner. The restaurant was fairly empty, and we were seated right away. The restaurant has a certain feel to it, like it has been around for a while but with that, the food will be good. I had perused their website prior to our visit and didn't see any kind of drink menu, so I was unaware there would be a bar. I did bring a bottle of wine in the likelihood it would be a BYOB establishment. Our server promptly informed me that since there's a bar, they would not pour our wine. No problem, so we ordered a wine and cocktail; my drink was strong, so I had no complaints. The server seemed incredibly annoyed with me for some reason, which made my dining experience odd. I even said to my coworker, "Was it because I brought wine?!" but you have to just laugh things off sometimes. The restaurant was also doing some kind of photoshoot, I'm guessing for their online presence maybe. Godfather music kept blasting sporadically, so it was a little weird. Okay, overall, the whole dining experience was weird! Thankfully, my gluten-free Margherita pie saved the day, which is the ONLY reason it's getting four stars. This is one of the best gf pizzas I've had in a while, the crust was so delicious, a true rarity. I put in a to-go order early on when we put ours in and it still wasn't ready by the time the check came, nor even after I paid. I would get takeout from here, but I don't plan on dining in again unless I feel like suffering.

    Broccoli Rabe & Sausage Pasta
    Carrie H.

    Great place. Haven't been in decades and it's still great I had cavatelli with sausage and broccoli. It was delicious and enough for a second meal for me. Plenty to take home Their bread is to die for. Arrives at the table piping hot and crispy. Problem is you want to eat 3 baskets of bread!! I tried one of their mocktails and loved it. Peach with ginger beer. Really enjoyed it. Very refreshing Will be coming back with friends !

    20 minutes after getting the bill and waiting to pay....

    The service was AWFUL. it was my boyfriend's birthday and I called ahead of time to let them know that when I made the reservation. the waitress never brought us breads (we ordered a cold antipasto) - you kinda NEED bread...I had to ask her twice before she brought it over. The bus boys never came over to clean off any plate. On top of all this, they did not have the dessert we ordered. I was mad, so we asked for the check and we're going to get dessert elsewhere. once we received the check, it took another 20 minutes to pay - my boyfriend had to get up to find the waitress to pay. She took the bill with payment and then took another ten minutes to return. the dirty dishes meanwhile, still on the table. I stacke them myself because I was sick of looking at them. I am extremely disappointed in how terrible the service was for something that was supposed to be a special occasion. I will say, the food was absolutely delicious!! Kudos to the chefs! .

    chicken and mushroom
    Kim C.

    It's such a nice and quaint restaurant! The food was great, loved the drink options and we were all very full after. I got the mushroom parmigiana with penne as the side and asked for vodka sauce instead of marinara sauce. It tasted great and I had leftovers for later!

    Baked Eggplant Rollatini
    Jamie M.

    Chicken Parmesan was amazing - sauce was great! Eggplant rollatini - one of the better ones I've had. Delicious! Great portion sizes, great service. Had a great experience!

    The best of the best. I love this restaurant, and the family running the place!!! The service is always impeccable! The food is always perfect!!!! No complaints ever! 100/10

The menu isn't massive, but they cover every category with extreme precision and do it really well. Seafood, pasta, veal, chicken, and all the classic appetizers you can think of from stuffed artichokes, zucchini blossoms, and house-made burrata. The ambiance is old-school Italian in the best way: timeless, romantic, and cozy. It works just as well for an intimate date night as it does for a small group dinner. Bonus points for being BYOB. We ordered the veal marsala and the seafood pomodoro. The veal was pounded to perfection and swimming in a ridiculously addictive sauce. The seafood pasta was cooked perfectly and loaded with fresh shrimp, clams, and mussels and you can taste the quality and care put in the food. Meals are served with a salad to start, and you can expect to spend around $35 per entrée, which feels more than fair for the quality. We were genuinely impressed and were treated with a lot of attention throughout the meal. The concept of the restaurant being run by two italian twins was honestly so sweet. Highly recommend if you're looking for classic Italian done right without trekking into the city.

We got a table for 5 and were immediately greeted by our server who preceded to take our beverage orders. Then we were served an anti-pasta plate consisting of olives, hard Italian salami and cheese along with warm bread and butter. This was delightful as I was starving. The specials were too many to remember but I ordered the Seabass over greens. The fish was extremely tender and the lemon garlic sauce complemented the greens and the fish perfectly. Others had the seafood risotto, lobster salad and sausage over broccoli rabe. Everything was delicious and our waiter was fantastic and attentive. This was honestly one of the best sea basses I've had in a while. The owner even popped over to say hello, which was very thoughtful. I was a little confused by the vibe of the inside, even though it was gorgeous. Super sky high ceilings, large windows, a large wraparound bar, and plush seating.

Then they moved us into another room for the appetizers and drinks. Afterwards they moved us to another room, and I thought that they would serve us food but instead it was just for people to chat. After an hour or so, they let us go into a room to grab food from the buffet which they did not serve a lot of food. I think they could have had a little bit more food to serve to a company that has over 100 people attending. The entire event was all right, but it could have been better. The place was neat and clean with no garbage anywhere as they had staff members come and collect the silverware and garbage. The music was decent, but I think it could have been better. Overall: If this is paid by a company then it is ok to attend; but if you want to come here by yourself then it is not worth the 45-minute drive.

I would definitely recommend if you enjoy gin. We ordered the Feta cheese turnover. It was good but could definitely be better. The block of feta was so massive that it overpowered the dish. If they use like half the amount of feta and added more honey it would've been perfect. I was also expecting apricot to be incorporated into it, but it was just on the side. If they had a layer of apricot jam inside that would literally take it to the next level. For dinner I ordered the Bistecca. My steak was could perfectly but the flavor was a little lacking. Luckily I love steak so i still enjoyed it but I think if it was sliced and topped with the chimichurri and some flaky salt it would've been a lot more flavorful. The steak was also a very generous portion. I did have my eye on the Orecchiette Rabe e Sausage. If I'm ever in the area again, I'd definitely come back to try it.

But the staff was incredibly welcoming right from the start, and that alone earns them five stars. You never know what to expect in a new neighborhood, but they set the tone immediately. The vibe of the restaurant is very comfortable. It is the kind of spot you walk into after a long day or a productive day and you just know you are about to eat something good. It feels like a family run place, even if it is not actually run by family. It has that warmth. You can tell it is an important part of the neighborhood. I even noticed pictures of community members on the wall, which says a lot. Now, the food. There is hot food, cold food, and plenty of items you can take home. I ordered a chicken parmesan sandwich, and let me tell you, it was the size of a skinny football. I am not exaggerating. It took me almost a day and a half to finish it. It tasted exceptional, and I actually had to stop myself from eating the whole thing in one sitting so I would not slip into a food coma. One tip, eat it while it is hot. That is when it is at its peak power. My friend agreed with me about the overall vibe and quality. If I am ever in the neighborhood again, I will gladly go out of my way just to try more of their dishes. You do not find spots like this easily. New York City has great food, but a place with this combination of warmth, quality, portion size, and charm is rare. In another city, this could easily be a reservation only spot packed every night.

THE NOT SO GOOD ---------------------------- - Undercooked steak mentioned above was a semi-biggie.

Not sure if it was because we had kids with us or other factors. ---- Not one time did anyone come by to check on how we were doing or if our dishes were to our liking.

CONCLUSION -------------------- = The food was up and down, but mostly up for me.
