Gondola Italian Restaurant

We visited this restaurant after a sightseeing day in Mt Airy. What a pleasant experience. Upon arriving, we were quickly seated and our drink orders were taken. When the drinks arrived, our server answered any questions that we had. We ordered two different entrees and enjoyed both. They were very flavorful, and the portions were huge. This is a must visit restaurant if you are in the area.

Best Hawaiian Pizza and Best cheese sticks we have ever had and we travel coast to coast! Service was superb! Very clean and Italian.

Warm and welcoming atmosphere! Service was excellent, our waitress was the best! The food was delicious with that authentic Italian flavor. We will definitely make the drive again and again to patronize this amazing restaurant 😀

Food was mediocre for the price. I got the cheese steak sandwich. Maybe should’ve gotten something else. To me, it just wasn’t worth what I paid for, plus if I wanted to add fries it was another $3. Coppola’s will always still be my favorite. Prices are good and the food taste better.

Can’t believe all the great reviews here. Either bogus or unlearned what good Italian food is. Couldn’t even get a glass of Chianti or Cab Sav. ( no alcohol ) ..Sorry, this place is a far cry from good Italian food.

There was ham under the cheese of my pizza and i never ordered ham under my cheese on my gluten free pizza and it gave me an allergic reaction and im now in the hospital here in mt airy being closely watched

The service was fine but the food was ok. The portions are more than ample. They do not serve alcohol. The meat ravioli were smothered in meat sauce and melted cheese. The chicken Parmesan was very large and was accompanied by a large portion of spaghetti. Both entrees were ok. The warm loaf of bread with olive oil was very good.

My folks and I had lunch at Gondolas today. Mom has Alzheimer’s disease so eating out can be challenging. They have been customers since the restaurant opened but haven’t been there in recent years. But today -,she loved her lasagna and the staff were great. Special thanks to Yassar for blessing her with a slice of lemon blueberry cake. It was sooo good!!

Went with a party of 6 on 11/3/24. They arranged a couple tables quickly for us. There were several servers that came around, taking various orders and bringing stuff out. All were nice and friendly. The owner even asked how was everything. So that part was ok.

Three of our party order the chicken parm. It came with 2 large beaded breast patties that were away overcooked. All of them.

I ordered the Sierra Chicken. It was ok except it was far too salty.

The salads were very cold, at least one had some frozen lettuce.

The diet Mountain Dew was a bit flat, as was my wife's Starry. Refills didn't improve it.

I remember this place being better. A friend had a much worse experience, including metal in their food.

We really wanted to like it but unfortunately wouldn't go back. Started off with half and half tea which I believe was made with powdered tea there was no taste to it. The side salad was iceberg lettuce it seemed like it had been washed but not dried the bottom of the bowl was watery. The bread was stale.

What a great surprise. We were visiting from out of town and my husband was hungry for spaghetti and used Google to find a place near us. What a great choice. Rachel, our waitress, was so attentive and very sweet. As we were traveling, we didn't want leftovers, so we got the child's size of spaghetti and meatballs and fettuccine Alfredo. It was still so much, but ahhhh so good. We got to meet the owner and he was very gracious. Too bad we don't live closer, we'd be here every week!!

I had the manicotti and my husband had the lasagna. Both were covered in marinara sauce so it was hard to taste any of the pasta. Had a good fresh salad. Service was kind of slow even though there weren't many people there. Guess I would try the spaghetti and meatballs if I ever get back there.
