“My first time here, and I loved it! Got there early with my own choice of seating. It’s pretty quiet on the inside, so it’s easy to talk with your table. The food is traditional Italian, and delicious. Our server Jeff was patient, friendly and informative. He carded us for drinks and saw it was my birthday. So after our courses, he brought a little dessert and sang me Happy Birthday! Would definitely recommend and go back again.“

“An intimate space, but the entrées and desserts were excellent and the service was pleasant and efficient. A modest, but reasonable wine list.“

“First time we were here and we will be back. Were looking for a different nice italian place other than our usual ones on the north shore. Excellent food, attentive service. My wife and I split a large caesar salad. I had risotto buscaiolo which was very good and was a huge portion for a risotto. My wife had the veal marsala. Again very good and generous. Finished with lemon mascarpone cake which really hit the spot.“

“So glad I tried and continue to enjoy Maria’s Italian Bakery and Cafe! This authentic spot offers wonderful service and excellent quality menu items— highly recommend!“

“A Classic! Family run for over one hundred years. You can see, taste, and appreciate why. Our server Stella is fifth generation from the original family. Her lovely mother stopped by to say hello too. Eggplant Parmesan, Halibut in butter sauce, Alfredo and Spaghetti. So delicious! No room for dessert!!“

“My sister and I both ordered the grilled salmon. She asked for her to be cooked through; I asked for mine to be prepred per chef's recommendation. Both of our dishes were prepared to our specifications. Mine was seared on the outside and tender moist on the inside. To add to that perfection, the sunchoke purée had an amazing mélange of flavors. I finished my meal with the Scorza Dolce--also packed with flavor.I have now had three meals that were so exquisitely flavorful that they will stick in my mind forever (previous two are from 1981 and 2005). My salmon at Mino's is now my #1 all-time favorite meals!“

“Excellent service, amazing food. Gelato is incredible! :) Very nice people there, too! Will definitely return!“

“Amazing and now I love the tacos 🥰“

“What an amazing experience! My daughter had the best birthday meal and we enjoyed all our amazing food! Fresh and homemade doesn’t get much better than that. The place is smaller which was fined we got there during the dinner rush. She had been wanting bread bowl with her pasta, and this place did not disappoint! Such flavor and so delicious! Worth the 2 hour drive! We will definitely be back!“

“Quaint place with excellent food and cocktails at a reasonable price. The service was exceptional in this unexceptional restaurant environment. Our Server was excellent. She didn’t miss a beat! We enjoyed the evening.“

“We went to Washington Garden’s last night with friends hoping to enjoy some good Italian food. The food was delicious! The portions were large and the waitress couldn’t have been nicer. We will be returning soon. 🥰👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Wonderful all around. Amazing food,amazing wait staff, 10/10 atmosphere as well.“

“Everything is fresh and delicious! They really have something for everyone including vegan! It’s fast food only in the sense that it is fast. It’s very affordable too and we love their points program! Love their cheese ravioli and meatballs! I also love the Rainbow cone which is a Chicago original! It may seem like a weird combination of flavors but it works! Great customer service!“

“great food, great service, good times.“

“amazing food and awesome staff!!“

“Great Food! Great Service! Always a Favorite❤️“

“Delightful owners, excellent customer service. The best lasagna we have ever tasted. It melts in your mouth. Beyond delicious!!!!“

“Great food and even better customer service. We ordered food for delivery and Grub Hub only delivered our pastries, not our dinners. When I called Sorelle, the manager apologized and said he would bring us our food. It is so rare these days to have that kind of service and we were so appreciative. We will definitely be return customers!“

“The best pizza! Love the Summer outdoor dinning. I highly recommend this restaurant. So happy is so close to me ❤️“

“Ironically I ran into the owner during a Lyft ride and he was my driver. So two weeks later I try the food and it's out of this world. He specifically told me he uses the finest, freshest, high quality ingredients-which is apparent when you try the food. No seed oils here either! I would highly recommend this establishment and we will be back soon! Thanks again!“

“They had great food !! I liked their chicken with sauce on it !! Very tasty !!“

“Stopped in for dinner last night. Food was excellent. The gnocchi and penne pasta were some of the best I’ve had. The gnocchi literally melted in the mouth!“

“Carry out was outstanding! Helped tide us over until we are all able to eat here and in all restaurants again! 👍🏼“

“Thank you Paninos for fast turn around and great food for our group tonight. The food was a big hit.“

“We had family style dinner. Food was amazing!! Service was great. Everyone took such pride in their jobs.“

“Nuovo is one of the finest restaurants I've ever eaten in. The food is all fresh and expertly prepared. The dishes are all very artistic and beautifully presented. The flavors are authentic and fantastic. I am always excited to have a night out here, even if I am on my own for the evening.“

“Food and service were great. Got several appetizers, including sausage and peppers, which weren't even on the menu. The veal chop was delicious and huge; and the cannoli was the perfect way to end the meal.

My only complaint was the spacing of the tables. Because the dining room is so small, they stack the tables on top of each other. All night our chairs were banging against the people behind us, making trips to the restroom a difficult task. Even with this, I'd go back in a heartbeat.“

“Great vibe! Sat outside.“

“Arrived in half the quoted time, piping hot and enough for two meals - not to mention super flavorful and delicious! I ordered fettuccine w/bolognese & broccoli and it was packaged in adorable packaging as well. I will be ordering again in the future for sure“

“We went on a very busy Saturday night. The service was outstanding.
The wait staff took great care of us. We had a great meal, cooked exactly as ordered. We will definitely be going back here again. I highly recommend this restaurant. They also have multiple rooms for private parties, good to know!“

“We went to Tocco with my wife yesterday evening for the first time. It's the real thing, authentic Italian food that tastes as excellent Italian food. Details like the bread and the extra virgin olive oil confirm you are eating Italian. If Fabio is available ask him to see the Parmigiano pantry (it's a religious experience 😀). We recommend Tocco with no reservations...no pan intended. Alex (for Italians Alessandro)“

“We had my sons second birthday party here and I would highly recommend to anyone who has enjoyed eating at Morettis. The catering and management team were very responsive, flexible, and excited for host our event. We had about 50 people and the staff was outstanding. Everyone loved the food. I would host again at Morettis!!!“

“We hosted a meet and greet for work and our team had a wonderful evening and delicious meals! The staff and management are easy to work with, accommodating vegetarian and non-vegetarian requests. I would highly recommend the venue for small/intimate or large gatherings!! The outdoor seating has fantastic views and a relaxing atmosphere!“

“Grew up on them. Still love them to this day. I just wish they would expand!“

“My daughter had her wedding at this venue on 8/4/25. From the point of discussing the space, to reviewing the contract, to discussing options, to answering ALL of our questions, to the tasting, to the day of, our event coordinator (not sure that's her specific title) Amanda was nothing short of stellar. She was patient, thorough, and accommodating ensuring that my daughter was comfortable in a very important time of her life. Our event captain (again not sure of her title) Kylie also was amazing -- handling each of our requests quickly and pleasantly. These two ladies are an asset to your company & should be commended for their fantastic work ethic. All the event staff from the bartenders, to servers, to bus boys were pleasant and efficient. The food was delicious as well. Our event was amazing & memorable largely due to the associates we interacted with.“

“My friend and I haven’t been to Olive Garden in awhile - but we were blown away. Both of us are vegan and we had the minestrone soup and angel hair pasta with broccoli and mushrooms. Andres was our server and he knocked our socks off. He was charming and attentive - and to be honest we didn’t want to leave. Thanks so much Andres, you are a smooth criminal!“

“Been going here for DECADES! Great Pizza“

“The outside dinning garden and Bar is magical !!! with the beautiful large trees decorated with just the right amount of lights. Have a cocktail have dinner. Listen to live music every Thursday night. The food is amazing and they have a great summer cocktail menu. Perfect for family or date nights. Fun free bingo on Thursday nights. Staff works very hard to make sure that your experience is the best. Their salads are amazing and so are all their appetizers. Let’s not remember. It’s right across from the train tracks easy way to get there without having to drive. five stars.“

“Great food. Their supper club menu is wonderful. #iraeats“
