It's been around 80 years and today, I was eager to find out why. The whole diner scene is very clean and consistent with how I would imagine it has always looked. The walls are covered in framed historical documents and photographs about the Mathias Sandwich Shop and old signs from the 1940's and 1950's that I imagine are truly original to the era it was hoppin' and bussin' at during that time. It has a very unique feel to it, like a place your grandmother and her family loved to go to growing up in this area. You can tell some of their customers here are patrons. It's a true "mom and pop" kinda place, which I love! Although we ordered a kids burger and a couple Reuben sandwiches, I felt the need to come back and try everything on their menu. It was a simple sandwich, burger, hot dog, salad kind of diner, but each category had many choices to choose from. The food was served warm and with a smile, which is always a nice touch. My son ate all of his kid's burger and fries and my other son ate all of his Reuben and chips. Both of them were very satisfied! My Reuben was also very good. The flavors were true to their mark and very good. The service we received was also great! Parking can be tricky in the front of the shop, so I might try parking behind the shop next time. So, if you're looking for a good well run deli to get some freshly cooked to order sandwiches or burgers or hot dogs for a good price, this is your place!

I recently tried this restaurant and unfortunately, the experience didn't live up to expectations. While the atmosphere was decent and the staff were polite, the food itself was disappointing. I ordered the steak grinder , It was served cold, which immediately took away from the overall experience. On top of that, the meat was terribly under-seasoned, leaving it bland and lacking the bold, savory flavor you'd expect from a good cheesesteak. read more

The shrimp was flavorful, and it paired really well with the salmon, zucchini, squash and mushrooms along with the noodles. The Mozzarella sticks were good and crunchy. My husband ordered the Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo. It was served with a salad and garlic bread. To sum up, he enjoyed every bite! He stated it was juicy, seasoned well and cooked perfectly!

We took our family to Veneziano's Pizzeria & Restaurant tonight to celebrate our 24th wedding…read moreanniversary. Unfortunately, while the service was excellent, the food was a major disappointment. My wife ordered the Chicken Parmesan, and I ordered the Penne alla Vodka with meatballs. The vodka sauce had an overpowering smoky flavor that tasted like either bad bacon or way too much liquid smoke. It completely overwhelmed the dish. The meatballs were even worse rubbery, bland, and tasted like they contained more filler and egg than meat. I honestly couldn't enjoy them. My wife's Chicken Parmesan wasn't much better. The chicken was dry, and the tomato sauce was surprisingly sweet, which just didn't work for us. The bright spot of the evening was our waitress. She was fantastic friendly, attentive, and did a great job taking care of our family. Our disappointment was entirely with the food, not the service. Being originally from New York, I've eaten Italian food from neighborhood pizzerias and family-run Italian restaurants my entire life, so maybe my expectations are higher than some. But good Italian food doesn't need to be complicated. It needs good ingredients, properly prepared sauces, tender chicken, and meatballs that actually taste like meatballs. For an anniversary dinner, this was unfortunately a big disappointment. Based on what we were served tonight, I'm not sure we'd return. Veneziano's could benefit from taking a culinary field trip to New York and experiencing what great Italian-American food can taste like.

I was invited to Veneziano's on a Friday evening, and I couldn't believe how busy it was. Even with…read morethe crowd, we only waited about 15 minutes, which wasn't bad at all. We started with the meatballs as an appetizer. I added some freshly grated Parmesan, cut them into bite-sized pieces, covered them with the sauce, and dug in. They were flavorful and made for a great start to the meal. Since we were ordering for the table, we got a half Pepperoni & Black Olive pizza and a half Hawaiian. Left to my own devices, I probably would've ordered something different, but that's what everyone wanted. The Hawaiian came topped with ham, pineapple, and bacon, giving it a nice balance of sweet and savory flavors. It was satisfying, and after two slices I was full. To finish the meal, I ordered the gelato. It comes with two scoops, and you can mix flavors, so I chose Belgian Chocolate and Vanilla. They paired really well together, and the portion was generous--so generous that I couldn't finish it. I'd definitely come back, but next time I want to try their Margherita or plain cheese pizza. That's usually how I judge a pizzeria, and I'm curious to see how they do when the ingredients and crust are the stars of the show.
