    Cheese Ravioli with meatballs
    Larry C.

    Stopped in and was fairly busy. Several employees noted us but no one greeted us for about 5-7 minutes. BUT, once they did things got good. Waitress was friendly and quick. Our food was up real quick. I had the cheese ravioli and it was great. Loved the sauce. And my wife kept going on about the chicken Marsala. A definite win. I'd recommend it to you. Great ambiance. Clean. Good choice.

    Excellent dinner. Planned to have salad and a couple of pizzas. Salad was fresh and tasted great. The balsamic based house dressing was very good. Our family enjoyed a traditional pepperoni as well as a white pizza. Great crust . You can tell dough was fresh. Tasty pizzas. The pastas looked awesome, we will try some next visit. Service was quick and friendly.

    So this was my first time there, apparently everyone else in the city knows about it. Got there early on Saturday night at 5:30 there was a 45 minute wait. Well worth the wait delicious food, awesome service and great ambiance. I had the chicken Marsala it was so good I kept eating. I was full after the sale and bread. Portions were huge. I will be back sooner than later. Oh yeah I also took cheesecake to-go. Also excellent.

    Some of the best homemade Italian food in Lake County! Huge portions! Lunch specials are great...home made soups are inventive and delicious. Biggest and best cream puffs anywhere!

    Everything about this place was amazing!! We came to town for the eclipse. We had couple different restaurants we wanted to try & none of them were opened. Zappitelli's was one of the only locally owned places opened that wasn't another chain restaurant. I am sooooo glad we ended up there. The staff was so nice & professional. The atmosphere was nice & comfortable. The food was REAL!! I can't say enough good things about this Restaurant. It's a must try!

    Do they have any kinds of sides, to go with their sandwiches, like French fries, appetizers, etc?

    Mama Roberto's - It tasted fine and it was very garlicky, so not the typical presentation or flavor found in Italian restaurants

    Wish we could dine in for dinner but I do occasionally order pick up. Never disappointed, although…read morewe typically avoid the pizza. Only because their dinners and sandwiches are so awesome. Owner is really nice and very involved between being in the kitchen, taking orders and ringing people out

    East side and west side - which don't talk to each other (2 of 2)…read more I happened to be in this area on the east side (far, far east) and found this Italian restaurant - Mama Roberto's - that was open for lunch. I saw that the reviews were mostly good, but something on the menu was staring at me in the face: AGLIO Y OLIO I'll get to that part later. Between checking the menu prior to arriving and walking in to be seated, I got a feel for the lay of the land and how this might play out. They brought out a basket of bread, which was a larger knotted roll of garlic bread. You wouldn't see this in Italy. The bread would be far more understated. The salad was very good and substantial, with tomatoes and cheese as well as your choice of a few dressings. I then looked over the main dishes they had for lunch. A few seemed okay and they had the veal and chicken parmigiana and marsala. I was tempted to get the latter, but, with only one chicken breast, I ordered the lasagna, which was only found on the dinner menu. I should not have done so. As soon as it arrived, I noticed its presentation. It was a big slab of lasagna sitting in a sea of tomato sauce. This sort of presentation is Italian-American. It's not the more delicate presentation with less obtrusive pasta sheets that you'd see in Italy or in more upscale Italian restaurants on this side of the pond. I finished it off and it sort of bogs you down, such that you can skip dinner. The service was excellent. There is a "can do" spirit in the service. Since they aren't featuring Coke Zero, which I like because it tastes more like original Coke, they mixed up some regular and diet Coke for me. Let me talk about its decidedly Italian-American leanings. The word "mama" is something I noticed. New York had a long running Italian restaurant near the theaters named Mama Leone's, except that the literature and memorabilia also shows it as Mamma Leone's. Mamma is the bona fide Italian spelling. However, I'm sure that Italian-Americans might say, "I hope your mama is doing better" or "Your mama is a good cook." (Note that it is definitely not "yo mama.") America seems to have defaulted to this Jersey Shore Italian-American spelling. Now, let me get to "AGLIO Y OLIO." Do you put together a menu and not check your spelling with "real deal" Italian people? The "y" means "and" in Spanish! The correct Italian spelling would be "AGLIO E OLIO," which means "garlic and oil." What's also happening that many Hispanic cooks have cut their teeth at Italian restaurants that lean Italian-American and, if that's the case, then the food reflects that. Summing it up, Mama Roberto's gives you a lot of food, the prices are very fair, the service is customer focused, and the restaurant is pleasant and clean. On the other hand, the food runs on the heavy side, it is way more Italian-American, and they have the credit card use upcharge which is becoming more common as businesses shift this normal cost of doing business to their customers. It could have been that one of their meat, chicken, or veal dishes would have been a more manageable portion and been more to my liking. Perhaps one of the white sauce pasta dishes might have also been more up my alley. However, they should revisit their lasagna recipe and use another benchmark for both its looks and taste. I hated writing this review because Mama Roberto's is a mix of positives and negatives. If you are fine with Italian-American food, and lots of it, this might work for you. For me, Mama Roberto's is but a 3-star restaurant.

    TJ's on the Avenue is a true staple. It's one of those local places you know you can count…read moreon--reliable, consistent, quick, and always filling. The portions are generous, the food is savory and satisfying, and there's something about it that feels genuinely old-school. It tastes like the kind of recipe that could have been passed down from someone's grandmother and never needed much changing because it was already right. What I appreciate most is the trust factor. You know what you're getting, you know it's going to be good, and you know you're going to leave full. In a town with plenty of options, there's real value in having a place that's simply dependable. A longtime staple for a reason.

    Came back to this hometown, Italian restaurant and really enjoyed it. This time around I indulged…read morein a pizza as well as their lunch size chicken marsala which both were fantastic. I will say it did take quite a bit of time for the Pizza to come out so if you're going to order a pizza for an appetizer order it as soon as you walk in. The chicken marsala was great and came with a side of any type of pasta you wanted, I chose Angel hair with half meat sauce and half Alfredo, which was perfect. The appetizers were fantastic as well and totally worth it. Probably could've just eaten the appetizers by themselves and been full. Definitely ordered too much! Don't miss this place!
