Can't say enough great things about Caterina's - a staple for YEARS - I won't say how many because…read moreI'd age myself! I've had my staples which are usually the pan fried chicken or the shrimp/scallop garlic pasta with asparagus and tomato - absolute perfection. Recently, I tried the prime rib, available on Saturday nights, and have to say it is some of the finest in the area. Very old school supper club flavor, generous portions, and I highly recommend. The bread and cheese/sausage tray provided prior to dinner is delish. Reservations are recommended.

Street parking was all I could see available and It was free. After being seated in one of the large rooms I was presented with a large menu that took me a few minutes to make my decision. After getting my nice waitress's opinion I went with the pasta bolognese for $20 that came with a side salad. While waiting I noticed all of the families dining here and I knew that I was going to have a good meal. The complimentary bread basket arrived quickly with butter. This bread was ok tasting but was a little on the dry side for me (3). Then the side salad showed up and I was pleased with its size. Almost like a small entree. It was very good tasting being a quality made salad. Less than 15 minutes later the entree appeared and looked very good. It was a generous size and I had some extra parmesan sprinkled on top. The fettuccine, mushrooms, sausage and meat sauce along with the 4 cheeses all came together and made for a satisfying and filling meal. After this meal, I was happy and would be glad to return. Also the waitress was warm and friendly. I would be happy to return as this is a very good place to come for a meal! You don't go home hungry.

It's actually shocking I've only just made it here because Ca'Lucchenzo has been on my to-go list for years. Lucky for me, my girlfriends planned a dinner to catch up and one of them chose this spot. Hot tip: make the reservation. Those go fassst! We went on the Tuesday night and it was full, with repeated table turnover. Delightful atmosphere. Very cozy, with warm tones, dimer lighting, and thoughtfully curated Italian'esque decor. Loved that there is a whole area where you can look onto the from-scratch pasta being made. However, that's over in the dining room and we actually sat on the bar side. There's maybe a dozen seats wrapped around their full-service bar, and then a small high-top tucked behind, where we sat. Our server, Malichai, new allllll of his stuff. When I tell you this menu is so clearly planned with immense detail, and changes pretty much daily, but this man knew every thing there was to know. We found that to be so helpful because as first timers it's hard to know what - and how many dishes - to choose. In the end, we landed on a handful of picks from the antipasti section, which we're all great shareable sizes. And then of course we needed pasta, so selected two of those to share as well. Can I recall what each dish was? No. Can I recall everything being extremely flavorful and enjoyable? Absolutely! From goat cheese and white asparagus, to creamy potato ravioli and the most insane/delicious focaccia of my life... we all noted how great every bite was. Oh and the drinks + dessert selection lived up to the hype too. I had a citrusy gin cocktail, and we finished with some sort of hazelnut chocolate cake. 10/10. Super duper excited to bring my husband here. He appreciates the craft of good food and boy that is what this place is alllll about.

Date of visit: December 8, 2025…read more I haven't been here in literally forever, so when my original option for my anniversary lunch with my boss wasn't available, we opted to come here instead and had a great time. The meal did start out a bit rocky, we had been seated for quite a while before Kathy S made her way over to us, but once that delay was rectified, the rest of the meal was good. I had a Hawaiian pizza--that's one of my favorites and something I don't tend to get at home, and there's is quite good. It's nothing special when you think about it, no special sauce like some places do, but they make a good pizza and this one is no exception. Any review of Mama Mia's would be remiss without a shout out to the amazing, buttery garlicy goodness that is their garlic bread. If you haven't tried it, you haven't lived!

I stopped by recently because I was in the neighborhood and ordered my favorite: pepperoni, mushroom and onions with GB and house salad. Everything tasted perfect but wanted to note a few changes I noticed which perplexed me. When did these changes occur? Can someone please reply and let me know. Salad: 1) the cheese which adorned the top was cubed rather than sliced. 2) no longer are there wedges of tomato, now it is small diced tomato (canned?) Pizza: 1) The onions are no longer thinly sliced. They are now diced. Same taste but different texture.

SO DISAPPOINTING!!…read more We were a party of three - I arrived before the others. Hostess could not find our reservation, but after some time claimed to have found it and attempted to seat me at a table for two - I had to correct her, and I was then seated at a table by the window - the draftiness was significant and distracting on a cold evening. We were offered a small basket of bread with a small plate of olive oil with a blob of what appeared to be roasted garlic. Our party ordered the lamb shank, the lasagna, and I ordered the Carbonara-our waiter exclaimed how that was an 'excellent choice and his favourite item on the menu. I expected a bowl of hot fettuccine with a thick, flavorful, creamy cheese sauce, but what I got was a bowl of lukewarm pasta at best. The 'sauce' was runny and lacked flavour - it resembled milk. There was no salt or pepper on the table, nor was any Parmesan cheese offered to help improve the flavor of the sauce. No additional bread was offered. We ordered Creme Brulee for dessert. It too was NOT hot, the sugar topping was burnt, and what should have been a firm vanilla custard was also runny - and had almost a curdled appearance. Again, outside of burnt sugar, there was no flavour. Our server was nice enough, but the food was so lackluster I can't recommend Ill Mitto. I will have to think long and hard before attempting to dine there again.

We dined here to celebrate a birthday and had reservations. While the restaurant was very busy and…read moreclearly popular, the food unfortunately didn't live up to our expectations. Aside from the appetizer selection, I didn't particularly enjoy the meal. My family loves pasta, but the dishes we ordered were mediocre and felt like something I could easily make at home. I was also confused by the "specialty" pasta section on the menu, as most of the dishes didn't include protein. Only one pasta listed it clearly, and we had to ask our waiter for clarification on the others, which was a bit frustrating. That said, the wait staff was kind and friendly, and helpful. The pasta was edible, just not memorable, and the overall selection didn't impress us. I may not return, but it's worth noting that the restaurant was very busy while we were there, so it's clearly a favorite for many just not the right fit for me.

By the time our entrees were delivered, we were almost too full to have any. You won't leave here hungry! Great stop yet again and we will definitely keep this one in the rotation.
