Little Italy's Ristorante

Great food, great staff, great atmosphere !

This place was amazing!! The food the service all of it. We came in on a Monday night for a friends birthday and they made us all feel like family. You could tell the food was all made with love and all it tasted amazing! Best Alfredo sauce I have ever had! M

One evening we were enjoying the Beach Street park and Little Italy Restaurant caught our eye. There was someone singing and the food smelled great. We knew this was a place for us to try. Fast forward to today. We loved it. We loved everything about it. Our server Natalie welcomed us right away. She was genuine, helpful and joyful. When asked if we had been there before or if we were celebrating something special we answered why yes we were indeed celebrating. She explained their food is locally sourced and the sauces and doughs are made in house without sugar. Everything is made to order with quality ingredients. She knew her stuff. The meal - perfectly timed - came out at just the right pace and everything was delicious. Chef Mario came out to wish us a happy anniversary and ask about our meal. We enjoyed him immensely. You could tell he was passionate about great food. He explained his vision was a friendly atmosphere with great high quality food. Our visit was late afternoon so before the dinner crowd. The music was recorded this time but it was the perfect play list. We heard Mario sing along which made us smile and do likewise. We took a photo of the music schedule and look forward to coming back soon. It was more than a special meal it was an extraordinary meal which became a wonderful memory. We had chicken marsala, chicken parm, cocktails, cannoli, Sfogliatella, hand rolled lemon cello gelato and cappuccinos. It was surprisingly affordable. We’ll be back for sure. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Ordered carbonara togo and the pork was completely burnt and not edible. It completely ruined the entire meal for me. I was in a rush so I didn’t have time to go back in and request for them to remake it. I’ve eaten here several times and it’s usually good . This was disappointing as I had just came off a 24hr fast and was looking forward to some good pasta.

Great experience. I was surprised by the interior, it looked like any mom and pop restaurant in any city. While it wasn’t what I was expecting, it felt like we were in grandmas kitchen. The food was astonishing. Many places the veal isn’t cooked well, here, it was cooked to perfection. The manager (owner maybe?) welcomed us into the restaurant, came by the table several times, and greeted us as we left. The server was attentive, and knowledgeable. We had a wonderful time.

We stopped in to Little Italy's Ristorante for lunch while visiting the area on vacation. The food was superb and Gerhon was amazing and attentive. He was also a good sport when we asked him to help us out with a contest with our kids! Highly recommend!

Little Italy's is a little gem! Do yourself a favor and eat here. We had the meatball sub and the Stromboli....both amazing. We'll be back!

Great place, awesome food, cozy atmosphere!

Went to eat there with my family and did not have the best experience. We arrived at 5:40-5:45 and there was a lot of seating outside but not much inside so we decided sit outside. The waiter came out after a few minutes with menus and then left for awhile. He came back after about 15 minutes and took our drink order, which we put our food order in at that time. The bread was forgotten and when the waiter in training came to give us our drinks after about 15 more minutes, we asked if there was any bread and he went to go ask, and then came back with the bread. We were there until 6:45 when we finally caught the waiter’s attention again and asked how much longer it would be (it has almost been an hour at that point) and he apologized and said that they had a 20 top (which would make about 30 people inside) and were behind. By 7:00 we were getting quite irritated as it had been well over an hour and had only been checked on 2-3 times. We finally got our food at 7:15 (a total of almost an hour and a half of waiting) and the food was mediocre at best. We all ate vegetarian and had to order sides of vegetables to be added to the Alfredo (at a $6 up charge each) for an entree that was already $18-$20 for pasta and sauces. The Alfredo was mostly olive oil and Parmesan cheese and the baked Ziti had no flavor.

In my family’s opinion, do yourself a favor and go to Baci’s or switch to Indian food and go to Marsala.

Bartender was very rude. We almost left before eating as she only said we could only eat at the bar (there were 3 open tables). A c waitress saw us standing there and asked if we needed to be seated and we told her what the bartender said and she seated us at one of the open tables. Waitress was great. We were made to change tables bf we got our drinks (a man came and told the waitress she had to move us from that table). Once settled, We ordered drinks from the bar. Mine was not made right and had to be remade. Food was very good.

We had a great meal at the bar for lunch. Had delicious eggplant rollatini and margherita pizza. Liked it so much we cancelled previous reservations for another spot and went back for dinner and had more great food. The chef owner recommended the mahi mahi pizzaiole, which was fantastic and my wife had carbonara with shrimp, also excellent. Miranda at bar and Kayla helping at night were really nice and helpful.Really nice intimate setting.
Also learned about a great Italian wine which I enjoyed.
Just a very enjoyable restaurant with friendly people taking care of you.

Super friendly staff and wonderful environment! Food was OUTSTANDING! If we lived here I bet we'd be here all the time!

Having visited Italy before, this spot is probably the closest we've gotten to finding a genuine Italian spot here. Hats off to the servers and cooks! Manager is definitely doing something right here !

Ordered lentil soup. Was room at room temperature and have had much better soup made at home. Ordered espresso that also was like warm. despite that experience, I still decided to order 2 different pizzas and was told that the "chef" would not start the order for 30 min. I've never been told this regardless how busy a place has been. That was a red flag for us and we paid for what we had received and left.
