The prices are very high. Especially for people who are just looking for a family style restaurant in an area where there are very few to choose from. It was so loud in there none of us could hear each other talk. But the wait staff is always very friendly and efficient. And if you want garlic bread with your spaghetti you have to ask for it as your choice of side dish.

It's not a fancy place, but the food is great, and the portions are HUGE! (Especially the Prime rib; even the "small" version is enough to feed two adults.)

Amazing food with great service doesn’t cover it. The night started with accidentally locking keys in car, then it began to rain and as we walked to back door by mistake to enter for dinner, bad start to the night. That is when we met Nick, he brought us in through kitchen to get out of the rain, introduced us to kitchen staff as we walked through and welcomed us to the restaurant while he did it. He showed us to Micro brew across the garden and told us to get a drink and he would work it out with hostess to hold our table. On the way back to kitchen Nick heard I locked keys in car and immediately call a friend and in the rain, his friend John unlocked my car in minutes. All this happened within 15 minutes so by the time I sat down I was already impressed. My wife ordered Villa casserole and I ordered Prime Rib with the Onion soup - Soup was great, hot and gooey cheeses with great flavor but when our plates came out I was amazed. My wife’s casserole was beautiful and on a huge platter & she was blown away by how wonderful it tasted. My prime rib was enormous, great garlic flavor and great tasting. In the end the food was as impressive as Nick. Funniest thing of all is that we didn’t learn Nick was owner until later. Thanks to Nick & staff for a great night! We will gladly make to 50 minute drive again & again to eat at Guzzardo’s. Great food & Great people is so rare anymore but you get both here.

We were apprehensive of this small town as we made our way from Michigan back home to Dallas - but it’s so cute and quaint. And this restaurant is too. Great service - Wendy felt like our best friend by the time we left. The food was delicious - the prime rib and coconut shrimp were some of the best we’ve ever had! And the atmosphere was cool and original - not the cookie cutter you get with chains. We also loved that we could walk next door, buy a bottle of wine, and bring it back to the restaurant to enjoy while we ate. Such a fun experience and will recommend it to anyone driving through orvisiting Lincoln!Dietary restrictions: They were happy to accommodate my gluten free and dairy free husband

We visited for the first time a few days ago. Our server was great and made wonderful suggestions. Shrimp Alfredo, manicotti, chicken parm and Mahi Mahi were ordered and all were delicious! We will absolutely make the 45 min drive again!

Excellent service with friendly staff. The food was absolutely delicious and I left very full (trust me I can eat). The atmosphere is very nice too with pleasant lighting, candles, and just your old school mom and pop-owned Italian restaurant vibe. 10/10 would come
