Had a nice evening with a few friends. I asked for a special dish which wasn’t on the menu that they gladly made, which I appreciated. Couldn’t wait for dessert. When I received my tiramisu, it tasted like it had been in the refrigerator for a week, premade, with no coffee or chocolate flavor. It just tasted like layers of stale whipped cream and cake. I had a few bites and the waiter asked if I wanted to take it home. And I said no that it wasn’t very good. But he didn’t offer to take it off the check, and we just left the whole piece in the table when we left. Had heard such wonderful things about this place. But dessert is important to me, and we probably won’t be back.
For the most part, the four of us enjoyed our meals. The green and Greek salads were very good; the pasta and meat entrees were delicious. Prices were reasonable, especially for the wine. A few nits: (1) some of the entrees were served piping hot, others were much cooler; (2) the waiter misinterpreted a request for wine "for us" as a request for one glass rather than a bottle; and (3) the bottle of red wine was warm, as if the wine rack were too close to the pizza ovens.
What a wonderful place. The people are friendly, the atmosphere transforms you to Italy, and the food is so delicious. We had Angel hair with meatballs and gnocchi with meatballs. And a tiramisu. We’d highly recommend this place of in the area.
It was my first time eating bruschetta was in Italy over 10 years ago. I have been to numerous Italian restaurants and not one place came close to what I remembered ?... until I tried the bruschetta at the Crazy Tomato! They definitely got it right!
Hands down great place to eat! Everything from our wonderful server Amanda to the authentic Italian food was amazing! We went in for lunch on Saturday for the first time and came back again on Sunday. We will definitely be back!
Kid-friendliness: My two boys 6 and 1 loved the food! My one year old couldn't get enough of the meatballs.
Happy to have another restaurant open in town as they are few and far in-between. Full bar with seating and a few tv's if interested in Sunday football. I hope this one lasts.
This was some of the tastiest food I’ve ever had. Our waitress sherry was very nice and welcoming(as was anyone else) and portions are much bigger than expected. The little garlic knots they offered as soon as we were seated are soooo good. It has a welcoming and clean atmosphere. You can find them right behind village pizza. We will definitely make this a new repeat dinner stop.
Immediately greeted and sat I had high hopes that were quickly dashed. Even tho there were only 4 other tables seated at noon on Tuesday, it took well over 5 minutes for someone to come take our drink order. Our salads came quickly - the huge "house salad" was absolutely delicious! It goes downhill from there... The medium wings were VERY HOT! My daughter's chicken nuggets were very crunchy (aka hard to eat from the batter being overcooked). The calamari - the batter was light and cooked perfectly but I don't think it was seasoned at all, and while the tentacles were perfectly cooked, the rings were rubbery. The bruschetta - the flavor of the topping was excellent but the bread was so hard it difficult at best to try to bite. After our food was dropped off at the table no one came back to the table to refill our drinks or check to see if we needed anything... Not once... My daughter didn't get any ketchup for her fries or BBQ for her nuggets. I brought home much of my food because I don't like eating without something to drink and my pint sized mason jar has been empty of water for over 15 minutes and my daughter's jar of sprite for almost as long. We had to get the lady's attention from cleaning off another table to even come over to our table in order get our check and boxes to leave even tho we had our food for over 30 minutes... Was it worth the price we paid? For the house salad yes - for the rest of the food a solid no. We've already decided it's highly unlikely we'll go back even tho there's very few choices of restaurants in that area.
Kid-friendliness: There's 2 items on the kids menu - spaghetti with meatballs or chicken "tenders" with fries (my daughter got nuggets that looked identical to fast food nuggets - not tenders).
We were greeted warmly and seated immediately in a cozy, busy room. The service was friendly, professional and fun. The food and wine selection were excellent. Can't say enough good about this place!
Amazing food ,very clean,staff very friendly and knowledgeable. Nice to have meal cooked to order. This is a must do again..

We arrived at 7:15pm on a Saturday night. We were seated very quickly and chose to eat inside (outside dining if you’d prefer). There was a live band in the outdoor dining area. Our server was very good and our food was hot and flavorful. We will definitely be back.
I love the food and the waiters there!!!! They are great staff
Had a wonderful date night here tonight. We enjoyed live music, drinks, and amazing food on the patio! They’re relatively new and working out some kinks, but they are off to a great start.
The wine and beer list are great. The service wonderful. The tuna tartare is the best. The cold cut platter is wonderful. The pasta is home made.
Amazing high end Italian food. Nice atmosphere. The veggie lasagna was delicious. There were so many amazing dishes to chose from. They serve a lot of fish as well. We also enjoyed the flatbread appetizer and chocolate cheesecake. My friend got the Sophia Loren dessert and said it was delicious too.
