Ambience is traditional Italian Restaurant, though our server was French. The food was decent, though not inspired. The best was the hot bread served with Olive Oil with garlic and capers and a touch of pepper. We both found the Tuna Tar Tar fishy and too salty.

We arrived at 5 pm, place was nearly empty expect for 2 tables which gave us choice, we opt for the rear right corner. Proceeded to open our bottle (yes- a BYOB) and Olivia came to great us. I needed a glass of wine to wash away my photo-sorrow. But boy did our meal make up for it.... talk about a great unexpected find. We opened with the claims in white wine and garlic, was a bit on the salty side but was still a welcome opener and we dunked their fresh bread until it was gone. We then shared the Mediterranean Meatballs, wow, nice texture, soft not hard, flavorful. Nice dish. For our entree we shared the veal marsla which was accompanied by roasted potatoes and asparagus and the penne vodka... both were delicious and pretty platting presentations. We will certainly be back. See our plating photos

It's always a little tough at italian restaurants for GF patrons, but luckily there are many options for the intolerant folks. The best part of Pasta Fazool is their ability to customize any dish to your liking. We all enjoyed our meals for the most part. The marsala could have been a little thicker but the flavors were there. The star of the show was the homemade passion fruit ice cream. Even the tiny queen loved it.

The service was quite quick and fantastic. They were so attentive to us and made sure everything was fine while also being super friendly. We got the Chicken parm and the seafood pasta.

We also got oysters and calamari which was also delicious. The calamari has Brussel sprouts which were crispy. We will return in the future

We had heard about La Voglia and decided to try it out! We went on a Friday evening and it wasn't…read moretoo crowded. The restaurant has a warm feel to it and is decorated nicely. They serve a delicious homemade bread that's warm when it's brought the table. In addition, it's accompanied by a dish of olive oil, with balsamic vinegar and what I believed to be a spicy dusting of pepper. It was a little too spicy for me - however, I did like the addition of the balsamic as a change from just olive oil. I would skip the pepper though, unless you like spice. We ordered the Polpette as an appetizer; it's a 'tradition' of mine. If meatballs are on the menu, I will always order them. These lamb, veal and beef meatballs were very good, and the marinara sauce they came in was excellent! The sauce is actually a 'roasted pomodoro' gravy - which is an 'intensified' version of a classic Italian sauce. It's made by roasting the tomatoes at a very high heat and almost caramelizing them. A little feta was added to the sauce, which really highlighted those meatballs!! We split the order - as 5 meatballs is quite a large appetizer! We decided to share two entrees - the Beef Short Ribs and the Lobster Ravioli. I always ask if the short ribs are lean - our server responded they were very lean...and they were. Soft, tender and very flavorful large chunks of beef, with a deliciously rich gravy with mushrooms on a bed a creamy garlic mashed potatoes! It was a superb dish! The website said the Short Ribs were the restaurant's most popular meal. Next, the Lobster Ravioli. The dish was a very 'delicate' one, with a very subtle brandy cream sauce. It had chopped jumbo shrimp and peeled cherry tomatoes with the raviolis. While the sauce tasted fine, it needed 'something' - we added pepper which helped. The raviolis were good - we couldn't taste lobster in the cheese of the raviolis - we assumed it was there. The chopped shrimps though provided a nice additional seafood flavor. I like my raviolis tender - the kind that almost melt in your mouth. The pasta here was firmer - a little more 'al dente', but it was fine. We ended our meal with the Chocolate Mousse. Served in a martini glass, the mousse had a velvety texture with a deep dark chocolate flavor. It was very rich yet light and fluffy; a good choice for dessert!

The menu is Italian, the alcohol situation BYOB. Service was nice. The gentleman taking care of us made several appreciated gestures such as helping me with my coat, giving us an ice bucket for the white wine and well timing each course that we enjoyed at a leisurely pace. I started with the soup of the day of lobster bisque. Smoothly and creamy. I enjoyed it. There was calamari for the table. We all agreed we'd had better. The chili sauce was nice and it was fried crispy enough but still chewy. Mains included a bland chicken parm served with penne. Nothing to see here. There was also a chicken saltimbocca that was okay. The chicken was tender in both dishes. I had the sacchetti with added shrimp. The sacchetti was filled with ricotta and served with a butter sage sauce. I would surely get this again. For desert we had the limoncello cake. Delicious! Overall, even with the cute setting the ambiance is a little stale. The crowd is heavy on the geriatric side. All that's missing is a little classical music in the background. If you're looking for a vibe uh no. A quiet place to take grandma, yes.

The other orders were mostly good, but execution was way below par - for the place being 3/4 full on a Saturday. The table settings have been arranged Octoberfest style to serve the most patrons and help you read your neighbor's texts, maybe?

At 2:30, past the lunch rush, we were the only patrons. Our server, a lovely woman who's worked there 21 years (wow!) was attentive and friendly, making for a fun lunch. The food .... well, 3.5 stars. I'm on a Caesar-salad-with-anchovy kick. Lombardi's Caesar is nothing special. They need to experiment with dressings and come up with something better. Eggplant parm was good -- I like when it's thin and a little crisp -- and T enjoyed Chicken Siciliana prepared with peppers, mushrooms and capers. (I'm surprised they don't serve spaghetti with every entree. Really, how much would a commercial supply of pasta cost the restaurant?! Their $4 upcharge is excessive.) We shared dessert, chocolate peanut butter cake -- sort of like a large cupcake --that was mediocre, also excessively priced at $9. What I DID like is that Lombardi's is byob, without a corkage fee. And as I said, lunch was 3.5 stars good, which sometimes is good enough.
