    Entrance and bar area

    Great Italian food Also kudos to the bar drinks they are very well created I recommend the muscles app and the risotto is amazing but you should feel comfortable ordering anything based on preferences because the chef is amazing

    Amazing meal. Filling portions, friendly attentive staff and all around great experience.

    Shrimp risotto
    Jeff R.

    I had a tremendous dining experience here. The veal saltimbocca was well executed and delicious! The shrimp risotto was also ordered, and came out prepared properly and was also delicious. The traditional spaghetti and meatballs was ordered to determine a "base line" and that too was well done. The meatballs were made well, and full of flavor. We enjoyed all three offerings very much. I would like to try the pizza at my next visit. The service was very friendly and accommodating. The overall environment was a little loud for my taste, and that's what keeps this place in business -- a full restaurant! I can't wait to go back and endulge in some more great Italian food. These days the "glorified pizza shop" is around every corner, hiding freezer burned shrimp in a heavy Alfredo sauce. That is not the case here whatsoever. This is one of my top spots now to recommend to people in this area.

    Food is consistently good. Service was good. My only complaint is the size of the wine pours.

    Made reservations for 6. Showed up at 5:30 and there were only two full tables. So we asked if we…read morecould be seated early. The hostess said no. I can't seat you until 6. So I'm sitting there for a few and I'm like maybe they misunderstood and they thought I made a res for 6 people not at 6. So I went to clarify with the hostess. She understood and repeated the same thing. So we sat and waited a few more minutes before she had a change of heart and came out to tell us we could be seated now. We didn't leave for probably 45 minutes and not one more person came in. As soon as we sat down the hostess who was also the waitress came over and asked for our order. We of course we weren't ready. We just sat! She seemed frustrated and I was thinking wow this isn't going to be relaxing. The first thing I see on the menu is the sharing up charge. I hate that type of thing. I always like to do family style and share stuff. I want to try every thing if it's a good place. So we got an appetizer which clearly we were going to share. Luckily we did not get the share charge. The bread you get before your meal is so good. Fresh cut garlic and oil drizzled on it. You also get a side salad that was delicious. When they brought the calamari I tried moving the bread closer to me so the waitress(same as the hostess) could put the plate down. She grabbed the bread bowl from me and moved it to the other end of the table. When our actual meals came she couldn't wait to get our plates off the table. We really felt like we were an inconvenience. I thought maybe it was just a cultural thing. Or maybe she's just overworked since she was the hostess and waiting on 3 tables. Brought us boxes before we were finished our food. So we were like ok fine. We will just pack up. We were going to get desert but we decided let's just blow this popsicle stand and get something somewhere else. The food here is excellent. I would get take out again but I probably wouldn't suggest a dine in experience. Which is a shame. I don't even really like writing this critical of a review because I don't know what was going on in her life so maybe it was just the day.

    Every meal at Il Boscaiolo is generous and terrific. Husband and wife team have run the restaurant…read moreit's predecessor across the street for 2 decades now. He does all the cooking, she handles everything else (often by herself). She's all business but not unfriendly. The food is so good. My veal pizzaiola on my most recent visit was as good as ever and I am particular to the veal di martin on the house specialty section of the menu. The garlic, oil and tomato covered bread and salad with homemade dressing included with your meal are fresh and tasty. While everyone else needed take home containers for their dinner she was shocked I cleaned my plate! The food is the reason you're here and it's superb.

    While working in Allentown, PA this week, a local coworker recommended this spot, and I'm so glad…read morewe checked it out. We visited on a Wednesday evening and were seated immediately, as there was only one other table occupied when we arrived. The restaurant offers plenty of seating both indoors and out on the patio. Since it was hot and raining, we chose to dine inside. The interior is beautifully designed with a cozy, authentic Italian feel that adds to the overall dining experience. Our server was friendly and welcoming, greeting us right at the door and returning quickly to take our drink orders. The menu is extensive--there are tons of options to choose from, which made it tough to decide. I ended up ordering the Spicy Fried Chicken Jalapeño Sandwich with a side of fries. I enjoy spicy food, and this sandwich absolutely delivered. The jalapeño sauce was rich, flavorful, and one of the best I've ever had. The bread tasted freshly baked--possibly even house-made--and really elevated the entire sandwich. The fries were standard, but they came out hot, crisp, and well-seasoned. Overall, this was a great dining experience. The food, service, and atmosphere were all on point. I'll definitely be saving this spot for future visits and look forward to exploring more items from their massive menu.

    My husband and I decided to try this Italian restaurant on a Sunday before going to a show…read more The restaurant is nice and modern, walls covered with pictures of actors and/or stars. We were greeted right when we walked in. Our server was very nice and personable. If I had to rate on cleanliness and service, I would give them 4.5 stars. But the food was where they lost stars, due to the lack of quantity and quality of our main dishes. We had two waters to drink, shared appetizer of rice balls, (comes with 3), they give complimentary bread and an amazing dipping sauce ( which is a secret recipe, per our waitress). The bread and sauce was the best part of the meal. My husband ordered the fettuccine Alfredo , ( look at the picture, hardly any fettuccine, but tons of sauce, looks more like soup) I ordered the chicken parm dinner. It came with one very small chicken cutlet. Both dishes came with a side salad. Our order came to $65 plus, which is not worth it for how much you receive in your main dish. And no drinks, just water. A little pricey for what we ordered to what we received.
