Food was tasty. Servers and kitchen staff were calling out to each other about social life. Took away from the dining experience I thought. Still its an independant mom and pop style restaurant and is a nice change from a chain style italian restaurant for sure.

My husband, son and I truly enjoyed our dinner at Penza tonight! My husband and son had pasta dishes, and both were delicious- the ingredients were fresh, and the food came out piping hot!
I had a roasted cauliflower wedge with pesto sauce and mixed veggies- and it was so yummy!! The veggies were all fresh too.
Yummy hot bread and butter - was served as well.
All in all- I highly recommend Ponza!

After a rough start to our night at another restaurant, **Ponza** came through and completely saved the evening! The moment we walked in, the energy was on point — welcoming, lively, and full of good vibes. We were greeted right away and seated comfortably, and unlike our last stop, *everything* we needed was already on the table: silverware, napkins, and actual attention. 🙌
And let’s talk about the food — **delicious**. Every bite hit. Fresh, flavorful,...
