We recently celebrated our mom’s 90th birthday and chose Ascione’s Italian Restaurant to cater this very special occasion, and it was one of the best decisions we could have made.
From the very beginning, Jonathan and Alex were incredibly helpful, thoughtful, and accommodating. They guided us through the menu and made wonderful recommendations, and they were absolutely right. The gnocchi was a universal favorite among our guests, and the small meatballs were such a hit that they disappeared before I even had a chance to try one. Every single dish was delicious, beautifully prepared, and full of flavor.
Our guests raved all afternoon and evening about the quality of the food. So many people commented that it was some of the best catered food they had ever had. The catering staff was equally amazing, professional, attentive, warm, and completely on top of everything. They made the entire event feel seamless and stress-free for our family.
We are so grateful to Ascione’s for helping us create such a memorable and joyful celebration for our mom. We cannot recommend them highly enough and will absolutely use them again in the future.

Been here before initially wasn’t sure I was a fan of this place. I know I can get really solid Alfredo from here and so that’s what I got it was as good as the first time I had it.

The food is great. If you have dietary restrictions, I recommend this place 10/10. Rarely do I feel like I can go out to eat these days since I cannot eat dairy or eggs. This restaurant blew me away with how knowledgeable the staff was of the menu and how able they were to accommodate these unfortunate restrictions. Every time I go, it is a good time, great food, and exceptional cocktails. Free parking.

I went on a late Monday evening and everyone was welcoming and the place was busy. We had the meatballs for appetizer and the cioppino and the ribeye with mash potatoes. Everything was very tasty and fresh, I wasn’t crazy about the salmon addition in the cioppino, but I was very happy with the whole dinner experience. Thank you everyone.

Food was amazing and atmosphere was wonderful. Although I’d rate it 4.5 instead of 5 if Google let me. Due to the table I was sat at, it felt like it took longer for me as a solo diner to get the same treatment as the table next to me that had two diners and was sat at the same time (bread came out later, table wasn’t dressed the same, a couple table-side options not offered). But it was a minute spot on an otherwise great time.

I want to start by saying that I am a regular customer here. I go here often for the food but also the service. Today was different. This guy Alex kept walking past as we were finishing our meal, staring and generally making us uncomfortable as soon as we finished our meal. Once we paid he came over to ask us to give the table up. I asked if there was a time limit because at that point we had been there just under one hour. He dismissed that question, told me they were busy and to give the table up. He then came over to interject when I was speaking with our waiter. My dinner companion did tell him how rude his approach was and he dismissed that as well. I’m extremely disappointed in the service and how we were treated today.

Whether it's a romantic evening or a night out with friends this place works. The food was amazing and when I say amazing I mean that if I could make room for more, I would.

I didn’t know they only serve breakfast on weekends, so I had to leave because I wanted to have breakfast and it was Friday. The reaction was awful. You should respect your customers. I used to come here all the time, not anymore.
