This place used to be wonderful. We loved the food and the staff was great as well. The new owners took over and the food went down hill and the prices skyrocketed. Their pizza sauce is horribly sweet and tastes like mall pizza I used to eat as a teen in NY, when I didn't know what good pizza was. So sad because this used to be our favorite place.

Pretty bad experience. Sat down for about 15 mins with no service. Host was pretty disengaged with her job. Left and host greets us bye like nothing happened.
Why would they box a burnt pizza? I'm not being disgruntled, but the restaurant smells like they have sewage issues.

The food was great. The service was inconsistent. Our waitress started off great but once it was time to pay, she never came back. The place was mostly empty but she just kept doing other things instead of coming to take our payment. My husband had to take the check to her and ask to be checked out

Was hoping for Great subs, especially this establishment having an Italian name and seeing great reviews.
I had the Meatball sub. I think there were 3 1/2 small Flavorless meatballs on it. I bet they were Frozen generic ones. My bread was stale, not toasted. I think it was Microwaved.
My husband had a Very generic Cheese steak sub, Flavorless as well and more bun than anything again.
$30 for a Flop of a meal. Terrible 😔

If I could give a zero I would. We ate as a family and one person in our party did not get a meal when the rest came out. We waited and then reminded. Still nothing. Everyone finished eating and we were still without an order. We asked to take it to go and to take it off the bill. The waitress took the take out container from our hands and said we could have it if we didn’t pay. We asked to speak to the manager and she brought a fellow waitress. After finally speaking the manager he took it off the bill but still no food. He gave us a cannoli as an apology. Needless to say we left it there. This is a shame. Do not eat here.

I read all the reviews and thought I would give them a try. One of the biggest mistakes I’ve made. I ordered the spaghetti platter. The pasta was way overcooked the meat sauce tasted burnt. Meatballs were really dried out. The Italian sausage ireally overpowered the whole dish. The garlic knots were hard as a rock and swimming in butter. My wife got the chicken fettuccine Alfredo. It literally made her sick. I would not recommend this place to anyone. Spent 40 dollars on two meals just to throw them away. We will never go there again. Really terrible food at this place..
This was our first time here and we had such an amazing time! Our waitress was Angela and she was PHENOMENAL and very personable. The food was incredible with very large portions and the garlic knots were to die for! The restaurant was very clean and had a great atmosphere. We will be back for sure!!

The pizza and pasta are absolutely delicious! The service is super fast, and there’s no waiting time because they have a bunch of tables. They even have big tables for big families.

Just picked up a meatball Parmesan dinner with a side spaghetti, dinner salad, and garlic knots included. Im writing this halfway through eating because I’m so satisfied. The garlic knots are something I’d write home about, SO good. The dinner salad was classic and a nice addition (included fresh cucumbers and tomatoes, black olives and croutons). The meatballs are excellent, the sauce is classic and delicious, and there’s more than enough spaghetti for two! I’m visiting from out of town but will be thinking about this dinner long after my stay! Additionally, online order/pick was easy, food was ready on time and hot upon pick up, and staff was great.

I called in an order and received great service, and order was completed in a timely fashion, I ordered a meat pizza with onions I wasn’t crazy about the ham it was in bigger sliced and kinda cooked a little hard and it was kinda greasy I also order a child’s spaghetti and added a meatballs the pasta wasn’t cooked enough the meatball were great the garlic knots were good but not as good as last time. I was honestly a little surprised and disappointed because it has always been great in the past but we haven’t ate here in a year.
Pretty good food, good service, but this place has a sour smell that takes your breath when you walk in. I feel like it’s the carpet or nasty cleaning rags.

My wife and I ordered a late dinner on October 9, 2024. We wanted delivery to our hotel. After reading reviews we thought we would give Garofola's a try. WOW!! was it amazing!
My wife ordered the Chicken Parmesan with marinara sauce over spaghetti noodles. She said it was the BEST marinara she has ever had, not acetic and just plain wonderful.
I ordered the Shrimp Scampi over linguini. It was to die for! Garofola's did not use the small shrimp like some restaurants do but there was about a dozen jumbo shrimp cooked to perfection and the scampi sauce was the best I ever had. To top it off they threw in their fabulous Garlic Knots to boot! The food was delivered hot and earlier than expected. Only one issue, they forgot the plastic ware BUT we were in the Homewood Suites so there was silverware to be had!
If you have never tried Garofola's...I suggest you give them a go!
