My son ordered a side of fries and a Caesar salad, which came out fresh and the fries were crispy and warm. The Caesar salad could have used a little more dressing but that is all personal choice. I ordered a Caprese salad with breaded chicken. The chicken cutlet was thin, which is my favorite and I ordered a side of the balsamic glaze which made the salad five stars. Our waiter was extremely attentive and did a great job with his customer service and communication skills. As always, the staff were genuinely friendly, which makes our dining experience. They feel comfortable and enjoyable. This restaurant has two floors which gives a lot of space for dining. The bar is small and there is a small amount of pub seating around the bar if that's what you like to do. Going there in the winter is a must as it's a very homely feeling with the fireplace lit. I would recommend the Taunton location for La Familia to anyone.

A tad bit noisy, but that is to be expected in such a dense dining room. They have a full menu... been there about ten times or so. Never disappointed or left hungry and broke.

Despite it being 58 degrees out, the AC was apparently on, making it very chilly. We asked if it could be turned down a bit and was advised "sure". In a little bit, it seemed colder. We could not wait to finish our meal so we could get out and warm up ! The meatball appetizer consists of two meatballs. Our party of three wanted a meatball a piece. We asked if a third meatball could be added while adding to the price of the item by 50 % to cover the price of the extra meatball. The kitchen, not our waitress, said absolutely not. Would it be that difficult ?

In the course of our time only two other tables were occupied in the dining room. The food was good, nothing to really blow your mind. Pasta wasn't home made and how they price it, it should be. The service was VERY slow. I'm not sure if our waitress was also cooking maybe ? I got a martini and my fiancé got a beer. It took ten minutes to get to us. The food took even longer. We sat for a long time before our waitress noticed and brought us our boxes and check. I would say go if you have a long time to spare, but if you're paying a babysitter by the hour definitely budget for a longer time out. This isn't something ide normally write about especially if they were busy but it was a Thursday night, only two other tables so it wasn't busy. My lobster seafood ravioli was good but didn't come with a good portion. It had 4 ravioli, two shrimp and two scallop. Not a ton for the high price tag of $36. Ide like to give them another shot since we are very local ! Hopefully this was just a one off ?

Parents had been raving about this place for MONTHS... So we went. Now I feel that no matter how I…read morewrite this review this is going to come off rude & snarky, and in no way is that my intent. My parents are in their 80s and dont really eat Italian or have access to good Italian so I can totally understand their raving about this place. However, I live 3 miles from the North End and frequent it so I have a little higher of a standard. Certain things that I LOVE LOVE, I ordered here and just didnt love, their approach was slightly different. The Crostini was like soup with bread on the side, I thought they were going to be little crostinis... Now the veggies thing, I get its your thing, but they seemed to be in so many meals, I got the Shrimp Genovese and it just wasnt a hit for me! Dad inhaled his Frutti di Mar, thats his go to dish. The Calamari was wet, like in liquid, I dont get why everything was in so much liquid... Again all was good, but I would definitely not run back (unless I have to take them again) However, the staff was SPOT ON... The ambience is great, the prices were decent, the drinks were good, It was a good night but just didnt love love the food the way that I wanted to as often as they talk about! Maybe I try again and order different things, The service & location was wonderful though!

But I was pleasantly surprised... The place is tiny, and they pack you in, but in all the years coming - I have never had to wait - even 5pm on a Saturday, we walk in & always are seated right away. I have tried MANY things off the menu, drinks are good, Service is great, I usually change around 100 things (I like veggies and dont often like chicken - so I swap alot - and Im always willing to pay for it) but they never make me feel high maintenance when I ask to change! The bread yet simple is the best bread ever!!! The options are plenty, the portions are even bigger. The specials are usually something I fall in love with and then they never have again, just my luck! Everything is always fresh, and super tasty! Now Im drooling just writing this!

He ignored our table in favor of others with more people. He took forever to take our order, never came back once the food was delivered, did not ask to refill drinks, did not ask if we wanted dessert, and took 30 minutes to bring our check. He was abrupt in all our interactions, my daughter is a server and she noticed this as well. We love the food at Trattoria Romana, but sometimes the service can wreck the experience. And the parking can also be an issue - we've had to leave multiple times because we could not park.

Walking into Lorenzo's felt like stepping into a modern take on the classic Italian-American…read morerestaurants I grew up with--cozy, welcoming, and unpretentious. The ambiance has a nostalgic charm, updated just enough to feel fresh without losing that comforting neighborhood vibe. The menu sticks to the classics--veal parm, spaghetti and meatballs, eggplant parm--the kind of fare you expect and appreciate. While it doesn't quite reach the level of homemade pasta and authentic dishes you'd find in Boston's North End, it's solid, satisfying food. A nice touch: warm Italian bread served in a paper bag--simple, smart, and it stays warm throughout the meal. The homemade soups were excellent. Both the minestrone and chicken orzo were hearty, well-seasoned, and clearly made with care. The eggplant fingers appetizer didn't quite live up to my expectations, but they were crispy, not greasy, and still had a good flavor. The kids' spaghetti came simply with butter and Parmesan cheese--classic, but a bit heavy on the butter this time. The meatball sub was a hit, served on a proper Italian roll with a good balance of meat, sauce, and bread. Service was a highlight. All the staff were friendly and attentive, and our server was especially outstanding--she even retrieved my granddaughter's favorite bracelet after it fell behind the booth. Above and beyond! Overall, Lorenzo's is a dependable local spot with a homey feel, traditional Italian comfort food, and excellent service. A great place for a casual, satisfying meal with family.

Drove around twice however in the second trip around the blonde hair manager was walking outside so I told her we had reservations and where should we park. Her response after shrugging her shoulders!, "I don't know..maybe across the street?" And turned away and kept walking ! So I made my own parking spot ! Went inside and was seated! Had to wait almost 15 minutes for the waitress to come over....took our drink order.....took a while to get them! We had to ask for them. She then took our order....asked if we wanted bread and walked away. Came with bread but no butter so had to ask for that too! Meals came and never once did she come by to see if we needed anything or if your meals were good and please know the restaurant was NOT busy at all! The parking was for their outside entertainment! Just so sad. We have been dining here for over 30 years! Won't be returning ! Waitresses there do not care enough to accommodate their patrons but I'm sure complain when their tips aren't good! Gone are the days where customers were treated well and waitresses cared!

Trattoria Della Nonna in Mansfield was incredible! The food is authentic, creative, and delicious…read more You can tell there's real passion behind each of the menu options. There's a nonna back there that knows what she's doing! The restaurant has two sides and is cozy. The wine selection is excellent, and our waiter recommended a Montepulciano that was so phenomenal we ended up ordering a whole bottle. We're still craving it days later. We started with the oysters, which I believe were from Wellfleet, and they were outstanding. They were meaty, fresh, and had no brine/salty taste at all. Even the bread with olive oil was memorable because it was perfectly salted and soo flavorful. For my entree, I had the chicken piccata with house‑made gnocchi--- simply divine. Truly one of the best gnocchis I've ever had! Wish there was more of them though. This was our first time trying the restaurant and it was SO good. Everything from the food, the wine, the service, it made for a fantastic experience. We'll definitely be back!

Our server, Cameron, was super friendly and chatty--all around personality plus. My one initial concern would be that he forgot to put our bread order in and we were drinking martinis on empty stomachs! Yikes! But we all came away none the worse for wear. The brûléed fig bruschetta special was amazeballs. Friends enjoyed salads. My chicken piccata was exceptional--tender and delicious, and the browned butter gnocchi were delicious--moreso the next day as leftovers. The lasagna was "different" but reportedly delicious as well. The spaghetti and meatballs were also hailed as delicious. I was a bit surprised that the house didn't comp for the birthday cheesecake (like Capital Grille and others do), but it didn't stop us from enjoying one of the most delicious slices ever. More lemon curd, please! The trio of gelato (vanilla, pistachio, salted caramel) were terrific as well.

Tonight was my second time going with a good friend of mine who is considered a regular there. Pollyanna was our waitress and did not disappoint. She was amazing and attentive and had great customer service skills from the start. She was our waitress both times and has been extraordinarily friendly and is a huge asset to this restaurant. She is the reason I'm giving this review a five stars. Both times I got the same dish, which is the chicken Sorrento and I got it over spinach instead of mashed potatoes and vegetables. It did not disappoint. The restaurant is clean and the atmosphere is chic. The bathrooms have been very clean both times. I do recommend making reservations as this restaurant doesn't open until 5 PM. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who's in this area for dinner. If you do go, I recommend you asking for Pollyanna.
