My wife and I enjoyed a delicious dinner last Saturday night. The food and service were excellent!
Tried calling to increase number from 2 to 4. Voicemail not set up. Once open I called and talked with someone about going from 2 to 4. Couldn't find my reservation. Said she'd leave a note. Arrived to find no note left and our original reservation was in system...for 2. Thank goodness not busy. And that $50 per person cancellation fee??? Wow I know 3 couples who've quit going at all. What about illness?
Filomena's is a gem of a local restaurant! Not only is the food excellent, they have a store section where you can take home fresh pasta and ooooohhhhh - their cookie dough!!
We had a wonderful meal last night before seeing Hamilton. The food was great, and the portions were satisfactory. Service was above board in all respects.
Great find! I ordered wrong so don't suggest the crispy prosciutto pasta, but I tried everyone else's dish and all were fantastic.
Our experience was excellent. The food was tasty and nicely seasoned. Service from Hector was top notch and he was very professional, attentive and caring. It are employees like Hector in the service industry that truly elevate a dining experience. Job well done.
Chicken parmigiana was a little tough but the sauce was good the spaghetti was good maybe a little more pasta for the huge size of the chicken portion. The cheese was good. Staff was amazing and super friendly and even offered to change the plate.

Well it's still the best sausage pizza. We ordered pappadelle with meat sauce. It's not shareable . They hardly put any noodles in it. The spaghetti was skimpy too. We had the osso bucco and I don't recommend it. It was cooking longer than the Sunday sauce . Very disappointed and will wait to return.
This place never disappoints! The service is always on point. Hector took great care of us last night. We started with a grilled artichoke which was superb, especially with their signature pesto aioli dipping sauce. We then shared a Caesar salad and the prosciutto and arugula pizza, which we requested to be extra crispy. It was perfection!! We had homemade cannoli for dessert and we were as happy as ever. Highly recommend!
We were seated on time with our reservation. The service was outstanding. The food was great. Our server Bedie was so nice, and was so attentitive. This place is rocking.

Had another great experience with this amazing restaurant!! Food and service is unmatched.
We had a reservation and were seated immediately (not by anyone taking us to the table but more of a pointing to the table across the room) and we still waited more than 10 minutes before anyone acknowledged us. We finally got someone's attention and got a waiter. Fortunately the waiter turned things around and was very nice and attentive. The food came out in a reasonable time. There were 3 of us and we had the seared scallops and calamari to start, both were very good. The scallops are served with spinach which was sauteed to perfection. For our entree's we had the Sausage & Peppers, which was very spicy, the Champagne Chicken and Chicken Piccata and both were delicious. Cannoli's for desert. They were covered in chocolate which was a bit much for the "purists", but very tasty nonetheless.
Our server was great. Food just wasn't what we were expecting. The Bolognese was a creamy sauce almost like a beef stroganoff, lots of cream.  Bread was good meatballs were good. Salad was good. Just the entrées were just a little bit off. 
I really like this restaurant - it's warm and friendly and good food. I think the best thing about this restaurant is the service- really excellent!! The food is very good, but it's on the expensive side. There isn't a glass of wine on the menu under $15 (large selection), and they charge for everything.... We asked for pasta on the side and they charged for adding sauce. We wanted one entree with spinach instead of pasta and they charge for that. But overall good restaurant!
The cook definitely had covid, no other reason for food this bland. And the pasta portion was all of 3 bites! Lol no wonder they stopped winning awards in 2016. Oh and I saw the trashy responses from the owner from other negative reviews, so you know they're classy 😉
