compared to eighteen months ago when we first ate here the product quality has suffered... Veal Parm went from five stars to one star two small little pieces and watery gravy...Toping it off with fox news blasting in the bar....We prefer not to listen to politics while having Sunday dinner.

Amazing experience from start to finish. We celebrated a joint 40th surprise birthday party with 50 people and way too many balloons lol. The service was impeccable. John and Danielle really made it happen for us. We adore them! We are extremely pleased with the food, atmosphere and the accommodating owner.Thank you so much for an amazing, unforgettable time. We appreciate you so much and will be lifelong customers.

My buddy's and I broke bread together here last night. The place was hopping when we got there at 7 pm, so the service started off a little slow. Things got increasingly better, though. Fried calamari was crispy and fresh. The margarita vodka pizza was fantastic, we got it as an appetizer. Everyone liked their entrees too. Would love to go back again so I can try their homemade pastas.Vegetarian options: Lots of dishes with pastas and vegetables.Dietary restrictions: Probably a six page menu. Something for everyone.Parking: Plenty of parking but it is a bit of an odd parking lot. Main entrance is on the long side of the building.Kid-friendliness: Families and dates were there all at the same time.Wheelchair accessibility: Main entrance is accessible.

Ordered a pizza for delivery and was so happy that they had no problem delivering to a semi truck parked at a business in the area. The delivery driver did a great job of filling my directions. The pizza was hot and tasted great. Being from California, the only time I can get a good pizza is when I’m in this area. Honestly, that’s my first thought when offered a run to NJ or NY, “Ooo I can get some bomb pizza or Italian food”.Love the crust!!

Enjoyed a pleasant dining experience at this restaurant! Opted for their brick oven thin-crust pizza, and despite an average welcome from the owner, ordered a large whole cheese pie. Requested a specific preparation to ensure a positive experience for my guests, but encountered some sarcasm from the person taking the order. The pizza was ready for takeout in under 10 minutes and was well-done, though slightly sweet—perhaps the tomato sauce or dough. Despite this, overall, it was a good experience with a great location, ample free parking, and both table service and takeout options.Wheelchair accessibility: Signed and designated handicap/disabled parking but bit away from main entrance. Need better directions to enter the restaurant.

Had foot surgery 12/29 I was out of commission. Hubby went into restaurant, spoke with one of the owners 2 days before NYE. He wanted to see if he could order a few trays of food for a small gathering at our house. Without hesitation, the owner started writing down my husband's order. ( salad, chicken parm, chicken franchise, penne vodka, and rolls) Just unbelievable service, delicious and the feeling of family from a neighborhood restaurant! BTW, best antipasto around! House dressing is to die for! So thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Happy and Healthy New Year to our D'Italia Family!❤️ THE CASTROS'

Finding a place that always serves the best tasting fresh food for a good price is not easy to find. This place never disappoints. Both diner and lunch are great.
