Oh my goodness do not just drive by this place- stop and EAT!! Bread great, homemade ranch amazing, calamari divine, seafood frutti di mare wonderful. My husband got the chicken parm and he couldn’t get enough. Finished with tiramisu cake and I could not praise the quality, preparation, and service enough!! Our server was so attentive and the chef came out to ask how everything was. Will be loyal customers here.

We have eaten here multiple times and the food has always been fantastic. Not tonight. The drinks from the bar were not mixed correctly and had to go back. The entrees came out way before the waitress showed up with our salads. None of the four entrees were hot, but warm. I can say the cheesecake was excellent and the waitress was very nice and attentive. Very disappointing since we looked forward to this all day.

From the moment we walked in, it was clear this place understands hospitality. The atmosphere was vibrant yet warm — the kind of space where families feel completely at ease while still delivering the elevated charm of a true dining experience. It struck that perfect balance: energetic without being chaotic, welcoming without sacrificing sophistication.
And then the food arrived.
Let’s start with what should be simple: spaghetti and meatballs. Somehow, this kitchen transformed it into something worthy of a culinary landmark. The sauce was rich, layered, and deeply comforting — clearly simmered with intention. The meatballs were tender, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. Each bite tasted like tradition refined, not reinvented for novelty, but perfected for greatness.
The veal was masterfully prepared — crisp on the outside, tender and succulent within, crowned in a vibrant red sauce and a snowfall of cheese that melted into every crevice. The fettuccine was silky and indulgent, coated in a velvety sauce that clung beautifully to each strand. And the salmon? Absolute perfection. Flaky, moist, and seasoned with confidence, served alongside perfectly prepared accompaniments that elevated rather than distracted.
This wasn’t just dinner — it was a reminder of what great restaurants are meant to be. Exceptional food, an inviting atmosphere, and an experience that leaves everyone at the table smiling.
Five stars isn’t enough. This is five-star x five-star dining. A place that turns classics into masterpieces and a family night out into something unforgettable

We had a great time with another couple for Valentines Day, we had a reservation for 7:30 , everyone in the restaurant was very friendly and welcoming , the staff was pretty attentive and it was nice to be greeted by the chef while we were waiting on our entrees to arrive. We made the trek from Wilmington and we were not disappointed! Thank you for the hospitality Roberto’s!

Food was great. The place is nice and prices are very fair. The negative was when we were seated no one came to our table for 15 minutes.
Absolutely best service we have had in a long time. Thank you Jacklyn. There were three in our party.. I personally enjoyed the Veal Parmigiana which was excellent and wife enjoyed the Shrimp & Scallop Tuscany. The atmosphere is so warm and welcoming. We will be back soon.
I had the chicken parm and it was not good! I felt like it was a huge piece of frozen thick chicken with tomato sauce. Would not get again. My friend had ravioli. She said it was okay, but did not like the heavy tomato sauce. The bread and salad were good! It is however a convenient location!

It was our first time at Roberto's! It was excellent! Food was delicious! It was a delightful evening! Thank you!
The food is great and reasonably priced. The kitchen is always behind delaying our reservation and then the food is delayed coming out. Hopefully, they will get some kitchen help soon. The pork chop is fabulous. The waitress was very attentive.
This was our third time eating at Roberto's. The food was so delicious! It's always consistent and wonderful. Natalie is an excellent server and the 2 hostesses are the best. The pork chop and the Brussel sprouts are amazing! We will definitely keep coming here when we can, and will recommend it.
We had a great time and wonderful food. Chef came out to the table and checked on us. We will be back!
Wonderful first visit. We'll be back when we are back on OIB. our server was a joy. Forgive us for not recalling her name. She was dressed in the Mrs. Claus top! We all cleaned our plates!
