Over the years I have dined at The Godfather Restaurant with friends and family. This time I invited 21 family members there to celebrate my milestone birthday. The staff was so friendly when I'd call to ask about or change something. We had our own private room and the waiters were excellent. They didn't mind that we were not in our seats right away or that we wanted separate checks by family. The tables were set up where everyone could see everything, we all loved the food, waiters cut the birthday cake and sang Happy Birthday with us....it was so much fun. The staff worked hard but they looked like they enjoyed celebrating with us. They are a class act. Everybody had a wonderful experience dining at The Godfather.

We use to eat at old triste Italian restaurant for years but it closed just before the pandemic. The owner sold the restaurant and we have searched for a replacement and we just found it at Godfathers. Great food excellent service and the prices are very reasonable. The atmosphere is similar to that of Old Triste and the food is just as good We will be a frequent customer The zucchini appetizer is out of this world and is exactly the same as Old Triste use to serve.

Ive been going there for the past twenty years, it has now become a hit and miss with dinners. Salads are good and appetizers are fine. I used to love their frutti de mare but lately they serve it as mush! Totally destroyed it!! It's happened to me several times already, will no longer go there. Too many restaurants to choose from. Also my waiter Alan was not attentive, kept forgetting to ask if we needed anything and lied to me about not having fresh shave Parmesan!!

Would not go back. Service was bad. Its a bit busy or understaffed I get it, but still service is unpleasant, slow, and inattentive. Ambiance inside is nice but vibe from servers not. Food is mediocre at best. Penne Salmon Vodka was overly spicy without a complimentary creamy richness, some people would probably return it. Salmon was ok. Marinara too much oregano. Salad better at Olive Garden. Too many other good Italian places in town to pay.

The food is excellent so is the wine. Good service and ambiance. Always enjoy visiting the restaurant. A great place to bring your out of state visit.

I went to eat with my family last Saturday. My waiters name was Lucio. He was very polite and the service was great. We ordered calamari faty and su kiny. Both appetizers were exquisite and the food was beyond wonderful. The desserts were also very tasty. I was very pleased with my service.

Absolutely mind blowing good food, and service that was excellent. My literal only complaint is that the booth we were sat in was rather cramped for 4 people. Aside from that, probably the best restaurant experience I have ever had.Dietary restrictions: Lots of diabetic-friendly entree options.

Our company holds a recognition luncheon every quarter at The Godfather. The service is impeccable, the food is amazing and our employees love returning again and again. Thanks to the whole team, especially David, for making our latest luncheon a great experience from start to finish.

We have been here four times and the last time we went the food was missing something 3/2/2024... food was bland had no flavor and under cooked! I order their house special lasagna, penine pasta with mushrooms, and Alfredo pesto with chicken pasta.I mean three different dishes and all of them had something wrong?...It's sad to write this review because my wife and I agree this was our go to spot for our special date nights...now we are thinking did we catch the Godfather on a bad night or do we have to make them sleep with the fishes?..
