I especially like the House Salad, chopped like the Italian Salad, which has meat in it, I haven't tried the Lasagna, but the portion is huge, and the folks I asked say it's great. It's not a fancy place, but you'll love it. By the way, they have beer and wine by the bottle, as well as by the glass.

It came with a house or Caesar salad and garlic bread. She said the flavors were great and she liked the sausage in the lasagna. My boyfriend and I ordered the Sophia Loren specialty pizza in the New Jersey style. It's a 20 inch pizza full of goodness and pepperoni, ricotta cheese, sausage, basil and a Calabrian hot honey drizzle. So very delicious!

The chicken parm should have been flattened but it was just a breast with uneven thickness which results in uneven cooking - meaning you overcook some parts to ensure the thickest parts are cooked. Kind of amateur! The salmon was terribly overcooked. The side bowls of pasta were a bit gluey/mushy from sitting too long, I think. The desserts, especially the tiramisu, weren't really edible - sorry, but they taste straight of a Sysco freezer. But, the appetizers were pretty good, the service is competent and they were friendly at the front of the house. I wouldn't go back but you can find something here if you have a craving for very basic Italian food.

I also had one of their beers but can't remember which one, maybe it was blueberry?? It was good but a little sweet so wish I had gotten a smaller one. The fries were also great, obviously home made. I will say we sat outside because it was a gorgeous day but you can't walk back in the side door so you have to walk around to the front every time which was odd and inconvenient.

I was surprised one day when the owner asked me by name if I needed anything. She remembered me from my order for Thanksgiving. Now that is something! Great produce, baked goods and meat in town.

We started off with the bread and calamari. The bread was so good. The calamari... quite possibly the best calamari I've ever ate. Then I ordered the halibut. The halibut was very good, great flavor and flakiness. The couscous that it was sitting on was strange, I've never had couscous before so I can't say anything bad, maybe it's just not my thing. Asparagus was very good, cooked perfectly. I snuck a few bites of my wife's steak and it was delicious, I'm gonna have to come back and get steak.

This review is long overdue... I came across Vele while on a trip to Springfield. Vele was…read morerecommended everywhere as a good place to celebrate an anniversary, so I quickly tried to grab a reservation. Vele is a popular place so they didn't have reservations available. I did a Hail Mary and decided to call them when they opened to see if they had any availability. I was lucky because they had availability around the time we wanted to visit. When my husband and I arrived it was busy which I expected because of the popularity so there was a small wait even with a reservation. That was fine because I was excited to check out the place. When we first sat down our waiter was attentive and friendly. The tables are very close together so you could overhear how he treated other guests, he was pleasant to everyone. I'm not sure when the shift happened but the waiter seemed to lose interest in our entire section because he barely came around after taking our food order. I was celebrating a wedding anniversary so I planned to have at least two drinks but was limited to a single drink because our waiter disappeared. The entree came out in a reasonable time and it was delicious. As the dinner went on we slowly ran out of water (he didn't come by to refill the glasses) and our drink. After the initial excitement of the drinks and entree we realized we'd been sitting 30ish mins without the waiter coming over. We wanted to wrap the entree portion and grab desserts. Earlier I could overhear our waiter asking other tables if they wanted to order dessert so I assumed the same would happen with our table but that didn't happen. It got the point had to flag down our waiter or someone else working the floor to get our check. Our whole dinner experience was almost 2 hours but that consisted of one drink, one water glass, and an entree. I ended up speaking with the manager because I wanted to confirm if they still had desserts available because it was an hour and some change before they closed so I assumed they may have stopped selling desserts but no. The waiter was just ignoring us. It was an odd experience and left a bad taste in my mouth. The manager was extremely friendly and apologetic but having your anniversary dinner soured was enough to want to wrap the dinner up. He did give us an anniversary dessert to go which was delicious which made this experience so unfortunate.

Very good salad and I'm a little sad to k ow this isn't a regular salad they always carry. The old fashion drink was very good not the best I've ever had but very good.

Diners get great value for the prices. Servers are always friendly, professional, and helpful. Only bread better than OG's bread sticks is is the lobster store's cheesy biscuits. What made our visit stand out was our server, Lyla; almost too good to be true. Friendly, professional, helpful, and engaged. She answered every question we asked, and when she did not know the answer she found out. The real kicker is that every time she left our table she said, "Thank you." And meant it. I think she could sell me the Brooklyn Bridge twice and I'd not regret either purchase.

The service in the bar area felt a bit rushed though; it seemed like the staff was trying to keep up with a busy crowd, but it wasn't that busy... so things felt a little impersonal.

Danielle was amazing and my food was great. Cute little pizzeria in a quiet neighborhood…read more Lots of different types of pizzas to choose from. One line big screen tv in the bar area playing football. Fairly impressive selection of alcoholic beverages. My brother and mom got the rustic pizza with half pepperoni and half anchovies. The only reason for a minus star was because the crust was very disappointing for them. It seemed to be overcooked and very hard to cut and eat. They said it tasted good but the bottom was burned. My eyes were bigger than my stomach and I should have asked for a description of the stuffed pizza. They had one small one with cheese which said serving for 1-2 people. It came out and I said holy cow that is massive! I barely made a dent in it haha. It was very tasty but was thinking it would be a small personal pizza size. Nope! Was still good. The service was great, I would probably get a thin pizza next time. Thanks!

The place isn't much inside, but it isn't bad either. Plenty of room for partys, and you won't feel crowded at all. OK, the food. I had a side Caesar salad which was delicious! Then came the pizza. I ordered a small chicago deep dish with meatball, and green peppers. I only got through two pieces, but it was pretty good. My only issue is that there was not nearly enough meat in my pizza, but plenty of green peppers. I would suggest meat choices only to go with the tons of cheese, and sauce. I'll still be going back when I'm in the mood, because even though it isn't Lou's, or Giordano's, it's pretty scrumptious.
