Myself, wife, and daughter went on a Saturday around 3pm. There were not too many people in at that time of the day, so I don't know how busy it can get, but what I can say is based on the food and service it should get packed !! The food......OMG the food from just the bread to our meals was incredible. Was it just the chef we had that day ? IDK, but I'll find out because the wife and I will definitely make the hour fifteen minute drive to find out, and if it is, we'll make it once if not twice a month for our date night. Highly highly recommended ? ?

Ok in a pinch, but I wouldn't make it a destination. The worst part is no table service for ordering. Order from your phone instead. Service was fine after that. But not a great vibe.

We started with calamari fritti. The two sauces that came with it were bland, and some of the calamari was tough. We'll try something else next time. Our main courses were tasty as well as large sized, and we ended up taking home about half of the pasta trio, half of the pepperoni and mushroom pizza, and half of the baked penne bolognese. One of us was hungry enough to finish his entire shrimp pomodoro. Three of us had saved enough room to polish off a tiramisu. Service was attentive and helpful. An enjoyable evening; we'll be happy to return soon.

Great place for family gatherings. We came on the First of January, and everyone has been very welcoming. Staff and customers all had smiles and laughter.This place is well decorated and brings a cozy atmosphere to customers. The staff were so nice and friendly.They had this New Year Eve combos, but we thought it was too much, so we just ordered the food separately. We got one Calamari Fritti, Mama’s Special Pasta and Meatballs, one Kid’s pizza for the little one, and wrapped up with Gelato as desserts.The food was very good, actually. We didn’t have Italian cuisine much, but we all enjoyed these. My personal favorite was the Gelato. Too bad, we had plans for later so I couldn’t order a pint of gelato to take home. Will get it again next time!Vegetarian options: They have vegan optionsParking: Free parking lots after 6pm in the nearby areaKid-friendliness: They offer kid’s high chairs, utensils and kid’s menu with free crayonsWheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair entrance and roadside, and tables

Great experience; from the service to the food. The package deal for two was definitely worth it. Icing on the cake was the service. Bea made us feel special and welcome. She checked up on us to ensure that everything was good without being overbearing. Would gladly recommend Tomatina's. As we told Bea, “we'll be back.”

Our church had a wonderful dinner there. The salads, a ceasar and a more seasonable salad with pecans with garlic knots were a wonderful start to our function. Food was awesome. Different pizza, and salmon and different entree's.Long story short, we all had a wonderful time!! Thank you!!

I think this place is a great one for a couple.. it has a nice interior and the staff was very warm. Their tiramisu was awesome. The parking was a bit far had to walk a bit.

I ate here with a group of coworkers. The food was good enough for the price point. The employees are very nice and friendly. However, I do not like having to order and pay on my phone. I wasn’t expecting it and it was a huge pain in the rump. One star for a bad business model. Once again, the employees were great.

The Tomatina is a big restaurant with full bar and delicious food. You can order and pay online while sitting on the table or you can have the server help you. The service was very attentive, food came out fast and everything was very tasty(specially the pasta)

The food was good, not great, and it took a very long time to get it. They definitely need at least one more wait person. It’s a shame because everything would be very nice if the service were better.

Theres better places to spend your money on food. The food here is more likely to be subpar than great so it's either going to be just okay or worse.

Delicious shrimp and prosciutto fettuccine, the best in the world! Excellent service, the person who served us was very friendly, I remember his name was Giovanni. We’ll definitely return to this place!
