Amazing dinner again at Sapori! We brought my Mom for her first visit. She ordered the lasagna and…read morethe portion could have fed three people. Lots available for leftovers. 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! Large crowd but we got a table as soon as we arrived and then ordered at the counter. They have expanded the restaurant since we were here almost 3 years ago.

We went on 5 June...we were in our hotel still, awaiting household shipment. It was raining very hard but we had read about Gianni's and wanted to give it a shot. We were greeted by the owner, and had a great conversation with her while we waited for the food. It was like catching up with an old friend. She was warm, kind and delightful. We felt like we were visiting a home, the decorations were clean and elegant. I look forward to getting back over for a sit down. I had lasagna, and my wife had pasta Alfredo. Both meals came with a pretty big salad, and bread sticks. The dressing was fantastic, I think a simple oil & vinegar based with a great herb note to it. Both pasta dishes were excellent, a good healthy portion (I was stuffed but ate every bite of everything because it was good.

Best fried dinner I have been to. Coating was thin, like flour not a batter. Bolongese was seriously meaty and good, not sweet. There are also soups and salads on the menu - so needed these days. Service was prompt, attentive, smart, helpful, just right. They have a full bar. If you want to bring your own wine corkage is $10 . Great for couples families or groups.

Although my husband was fairly set on the prime rib special until he saw a plate of fried chicken come out. All bets were off then. It was a good choice- great chicken.

Salad bar had lots of great options too. Somehow we made it out of there without ordering one of their delicious desserts. Miracle. Service was friendly and attentive.

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.
