Checked out Paliacci's for the first time with family for lunch the other day. Plenty of parking…read moreand inside they have lots of seating including some options for big parties of people. Food wise they have all the things you'd expect from an Italian spot plus some things you wouldn't. All the pasta dishes, sandwiches/grinders, pizzas, and more. The vibes were nothing over the top or extremely memorable but was friendly and inviting for groups and families of all sizes. My wife got their Margherita Chicken Sandwich that came with fries. The fries were tasty and seemed battered, although they could have been warmer. The chicken was still juicy and the fresh mozzarella was the highlight. I got their Italian Smorgasbord that came with an assortment of dishes basically. It had lasagna, meatballs, sausage, and eggplant Parmesan. The lasagna was the best in both my wife's and my opinion. The others were tasty as well. Another member of our family got the Meatball Grinder and the size of the bread would make you think it was an entire loaf. Staff was friendly and accommodating for any requests the party had. A solid spot if you have a craving for Italian food.

I ate my pasta at home but my anger hair was stuck together. The lasagna unfortunately wasn't much better . I'm not sure if I would go back . But there were a lot of regrets there Thanks Chris M

Nice cozy spot where you never walk out disappointed or hungry. The food's always solid and fresh,…read moretender chicken and crisp salads that hit the spot, even if the dressings came from a bottle instead of Nonna's secret stash. There's a bit of a "shared fryer situation," so don't be surprised if your mozzarella brick has just a whisper of haddock perfume. The desserts look like they've seen a freezer or two, but the warm vibe more than makes up for it. The staff is fantastic, and the tables practically chat with each other. Think Sunday dinner energy without doing the dishes. All in all, a four-star hug of a restaurant.

Decided to try Noto Americano for the 1st time for Father's Day takeout. We ordered the Chicken…read moreParmigana, Lemon Bay Chicken and a Meatball Grinder. The price for takeout for these (3) things were on the high side to not include a side salad. With that said, we were aware that those weren't included as it wasnt listed on their online ordering. We just figured the portion for both Entrees were likely larger and thats why you paid a la carte for the salad. We come back home with the takeout and to our surprise for quite a high price, the portions were small. How small, each meal fit with pasta inside a plastic container, similar to those used for Asian takeout. For any other restaurant that serves Chicken Parmigana, its always been a larger round metal dish with pasta on the side. Typically with 2 pieces of chicken. Putting portion aside as one can argue that we may have been able to find that out before ordering, the (2) entrees were not great. The Chicken Parmigana had one piece of chicken and the chicken was charred, dry, minimal amount of cheese and the both the chicken and pasta itself had a scarce amount of pasta sauce. I found myself having to scrub the side of the dish for any sauce left. The lemon bay chicken was also quite dry and unfortunately the mixture of recip (chicken, pasta and sauce) was quite tasteless. I'm not typically one to leave a 1 or 2 star reviews often, as I'd rather just not go again to the place where I had said experience but between the quality of food, price and portion, this place falls into a bit of an exception for me. Look, I've eaten at many places, if your portions are going to small for the price (and without sides), then the quality needs to EXCEED the excepted regional standard for that dish to justify that reasoning. This experience did not do that, instead we are left with half of take home container of each meal that we will have to toss in trash for Fathers Day.

Apps came out before drinks and the food was super quick overall, service felt a bit slower but everyone was still very helpful, and friendly. The cacio e pepe was a little too peppery for me but maybe that's the point, the chicken cutlet was perfect...crispy and juicy and the meatballs had a great little kick. Ended with the cheesecake that was rich and creamy, wish there was a bit more crust. Overall, great vibes and I'd definitely be back to try something different

The Brussels sprout salad was top-notch--packed with flavor and one of my favorite dishes of the night. The pasta was also excellent, with a perfectly balanced creamy sauce that wasn't too heavy. I especially liked how they presented all the dessert options, making it fun to choose. We ended up ordering the pistachio cake, but unfortunately, it wasn't my favorite. It tasted much saltier than expected rather than sweet. I'm not sure if it was due to the cream cheese or the pistachios themselves, but the flavor felt a bit off for a dessert. Overall, it was a great dining experience.

The greenery outside of the restaurant is so beautiful and on a beautiful day sitting outside would be a must ! I went to Viron Rondo for lunch with my family and we are glad we did. Although I want to be honest for families with little babies and toddlers. This isn't a family friendly spot. There is no changing tables in the bathroom or tables to place bags on in the bathroom. As a mother- this matters to me so want to help someone else out. The inside is huge and spacious though. The food is freshly made to order in nice huge portions!! Everything was delicious. But we did struggle to get our waitress. Service could use some help as dishes weren't removed from the table until asked. The bread that is provided is soft/flavorful and delicious !!! We got muscles for and appetizer and OmG !! So tender and sauce was so good I couldn't stop dipping the house made bread in it. My mom got the pulpo (octopus) for her lunch with a side of jumbo shrimp. Let me tell you that pulpo was tenderrrrr and one of the best we've ever had !! I had the apple salad with jumbo shrimp! First it's the best salad!! And it can last you for 3 days it's so much!! If they work on service I would so give this place 5 stars. (Oh and my aunt was charged for a club soda with lemon- that's another little downfall) but the martinis were perfectly made and worth the money for sure !!
