DePalma's Italian Cafe - Westside is a popular Italian restaurant known for its attentive and friendly servers. The veal special with mashed potatoes and vegetables is a recommended dish, especially for those who enjoy the delicious mashed potatoes. The restaurant offers generous portion sizes, and the pizza, tortelloni, and grilled chicken sausage are also highly praised. The cozy atmosphere features family pictures on the walls, creating a warm Italian family dinner vibe that guests enjoy. Many customers appreciate the nostalgic feel and plan to return for special occasions each year.
Recent reviews highlight the restaurant's great food and friendly staff. Guests enjoy the gluten-free options and find the patio a very nice spot for outdoor dining. The atmosphere is suitable for large loud groups, but smaller, quiet conversations are better suited outside. Celebrations like a mother's 90th birthday party have gone smoothly with long tables and attentive service, making the experience enjoyable despite the lack of private rooms. Parking is plentiful in the nearby lot. Customers mention that while service can sometimes be slow and bread may run out, the food quality remains high, and the staff's humor adds to the experience.
For large parties, the experience may vary, but many find the calamari and bread with olive oil delightful. Some dishes like the pasta depalma may not be perfect—sometimes the sauce is uneven or the pasta slightly dried out or mushy—but others suggest that scaloppini or ravioli might be better choices. Overall, DePalma's Italian Cafe - Westside offers a comforting and inviting atmosphere with good food, making it a favorite for gatherings and family dinners.
