This place is on the pricey side, but it is absolutely worth it. I highly recommend this restaurant.

I’m from out of state. Get the chicken Parmesan, you won’t regret it. The biggest piece of chicken I have ever seen, super juicy and plump. The chicken alone filled the plate. I

First time ever here. Went on a recommendation and was very pleased with the food and the service but the guy virtually doing karaoke was WAY to load. We couldn't talk!!

The food here is REALLY good. This is the second time I’ve ordered the Lamb Chops from Cathy’s and they are easily the best Lamb Chops around! The meat is always cooked perfectly & the broccoli rabe has so much flavor. Much better than we even expected. Make sure you add Cathy’s on your regular rotation when you are in the mood for authentic Italian food.

Food was delicious. You have to check out the bakery section! And the kids loved the pizza. Be warned it gets pretty busy on weekends

My family of 6 waited over 2 hours for our entrees to be served after finishing our salads...the breaded pork chops were burnt and unable to be cut with a steak knife! The owner/manager had left the restaurant, leaving young waitresses and a single cook in the kitchen with many tables of disgruntled patrons.They will NOT be seeing us again!

Hidden away in an ugly strip center. Big restaurant but garishly decorated and with way too loud music playing constantly. Unfortunately one of those restaurants that charges 3% to use a credit card. Food was pretty good though. Huge portions served hot. Excellent bread. House salad included with most entrees. Reasonable prices. Very good service. Nightly specials. BYOB

Parking: Huge, very dark, pot holed parking lot, very difficult to get into and out of.

Went on my birthday with a gift certificate. Man at counter was extremely nasty and rude. Was told couldn’t use my certificate because it was a weekend. I’m sure the person who bought it for me as a gift didn’t know that. I will never ever go there again. A wasted gift certificate. Very disappointed.

Wonderful sorta hidden spot. The staff were the friendliest and most helpful we have ever encountered. Large portions of delicious food. The rack of lamb is a must! Great cappuccino though a bit strong for me; I asked for some milk to make it less strong. They brought me heated milk. WOW! We wanted a little something sweet after dinner so ordered half a pound of cookies. Great choice and we had the rest to take home.

Well it’s confirmed this restaurant can’t handle crowds or special occasions. Went for first time on Valentine’s Day and have to agree with past reviewsIf you have 3 hrs to wait for entrees then this is the place. When you have choice of 3 apps 3 entrees and dessert Why would it take 3 hrs. Waited 15 minutes for server to show up waited 1 hrs for apps and another 1 1/2 for dinner.Half the food was cold but guess what the chocolate strawberries were luke warm? Food was good but service non existent. We won’t be back!

First time. Food was very good. Waiter was inexperienced and saw the bus boy more tha the waiter. Entire stay without dessert was over an hour and thrity minutes. Would go back. Just don't go there if you are in a rush.
