    A lovely family owned/run restaurant- homemade pasta.. sauces.. breads. It's all delicious. Full bar and a decent wine list. Outdoor seating. Service like you're at home.. I could go on and on. The grilled peach appetizer was to die for.

    I just had surgery and wanted to order some food for dinner for the next few days. Their family meal deals are an excellent value. For my husband and I we ordered the chicken parmesan meal for four people as well as the large lasagna for 2. As you can see in the photo, there is more than enough food for two people for a few days. Four large pieces of chicken parmesan on top of penne with tomato sauce. Upgrade to antipasto salad and the meal comes with an entire loaf of focaccia bread and four mini cannolis. $92 total for everything. I don't think you can buy the ingredients to make this meal for that price. Everything is delicious and well portioned. Online ordering is available with curbside delivery to make everything seamless. 10/10 recommend!!!

    Tuscan steak (medium) - some parts were bitter/burnt and other parts were more well, but overall the sliced steak was good.

    Bologna is a small but quaint Italian restaurant with flavorful marinara sauce. I enjoyed lunch during happy hour 4-6 pm Saturday, where the choices were less varied but a few different options for apps, pasta, pizzas, chicken, meat, and fish dishes do meet most expectations. My dining partner and I had the trio meatballs (always a great choice) and today had the melanzana (delicious eggplant) app. I had the Tuscan Steak, which I got medium but some pieces were burnt (which made it bitter) or overcooked past medium, yet was still fine. The steak came with asparagus on the side. The lasagna today was excellent: very flavorful, saucy, and cheesy. The servers were pleasant and always refilled our waters and checked up on us. A very nice meal overall!

    Pollo alla joey

    This was my second time here and I enjoyed it just as much as the first time. There is a small seating area in the front and a larger dining area behind the kitchen. Our server was friendly and offered great suggestions. We started with the crispy Brussel sprouts that were crispy without being burned like some places. Three of us ordered the pollo alla joey (breaded chicken, sun dried tomatoes, spinach, mushrooms in a creamy sauce). The portion is large but could use some type of pasta to soak up the sauce. When I reheated the next day I made my own side of pasta and it was delicious. One person in our party ordered the pumpkin gnocchi and said it was full of flavor. I also had the old fashion as my cocktail, it's strong and taste good. I can't wait to go back.

    Stuffed Shells

    Ambiance is cute although a little tight on space. Service was good, no complaints there. I was actually surprised that the food came faster than I thought. We ordered chicken piccata, a make your own cavatappi w mushroom and olive sauce, salad with chicken, and stuffed shells. Everything was enjoyable!

    Limoncello slice

    The vibes at this restaurant were stellar and enough for me to want to come back. Bologna is the type of place where everyone is greeted and acknowledged by the owner. In fact he was the one who seated us at our table. It's the type of place where it's not weird to chat with the strangers next to you. Everyone is so casual and welcoming and it feels like family. Of course the food and service were great too. The pizza was yummy and I'd also recommend the tips arrabbiata. We finished our meal with a limoncello slice. I dont recommend this restaurant for large groups because it has limited seating and they don't take reservations. But for date night it's great!

    Chocolate hazelnut cake
    Bridgette Z.

    It's a lot smaller inside than I thought it would be but a lovely restaurant with really nice service. For appetizers, we had the meatballs which were fantastic, the bacon wrapped dates were not good at all in my opinion, and the winter crostini which was alright. We all loved our entrees - the pistachio salmon had a unique pesto and was cooked perfectly. The lasagna was really delicious too. The desserts were wonderful too - the tiramisu wasn't too heavy and the chocolate hazelnut cake was delicious. I would definitely return!

    Pollo marsala
    Rebecca M.

    Good happy hour deals! Very little seating so come early or get reservations. I ordered the limoncello martini which was good but not great, too tart. The chicken Marsala had amazing flavor but I wish it was served with a starch. This is a great place for a more intimate date night.

    How is the portion size for the pasta/fettuccine Alfredo? I'm a skinny guy with the appetite of a pig. No skimping on me! 😋🍝

    Super generous servings! Plus you get soup or salad with every entree

    A few years ago we had came here and had a bad visit. Since then, we have come back 3 times. Today…read morewas the third visit. We were seated immediately and it was so empty because it was 4, before dinner rush. It was very quiet inside which was nice. Our server was super awesome. She got us drinks and bread right away and gave us time to see the menu. We ordered our food and started eating. The bread was very tough which was strange. I don't remember it being so hard. I asked for another bread when she brought out refills. The new one wasn't as tough but it was still hard. I let my husband eat it and he ate some of it but agreed it was tougher than usual. He ordered calamari and ate all of it. He said it is super delicious. The fettucine alfredo we ordered came out. It tasted so amazing. It was so buttery and creamy, a definite improvement from a few years ago. We were very impressed with the food overall. The only issue was the bread. The service was really great as well.

    We have been to this restaurant Many times over years but…read moreit had been a minute. We requested to be seated in front side section which is a little quieter. Our server was friendly and attentive. Their signature bread was hot and delicious. We tried the Costa Rican fish and Chicken Marsala. First the green beans were delicious. I really hate it when the veggie side dish is mushy, an after thought or a medley. Portion size good and marsala sauce was yummy. My husband enjoyed his fish. I got their special midnight martini and they shake/mix and pour at your table. Taste and presentation good. My husband got an old fashioned and while it tasted good, zero presentation. The smores cheesecake was delicious and after dinner coffee hot and strong so I was happy! Overall lovely evening.
