They even went out of their way to help my handicap mother get in and out of the car! Food is delicious and tons of variety when compared to the standard Italian restaurant. Great portions and even a decent amount of healthy options. Thank you to the staff for making my night even more special!“

“We picked Rialto to try for a last minute dinner and had a great experience. A friendly and professional server brought our drinks quickly and made a great wine recommendation. We split the stuffed artichoke which was tasty and a perfect size so we were still able to enjoy our entrees. Husband got Osso Bucco over saffron risotto and I got shrimp and spinach rigatoni in a light tomato sauce. Both were delicious and I was surprised how many shrimp were included. I couldn't even finish them. Overall, we had a great night and look forward to a return visit.“

“Great Food and great service! Buffalo chicken slice is the go-to!“

“The pan seared roasted chicken is amazing!!! My family and I found this place a few weeks ago. It's a beautifully decorated, clean and fairly new establishment with a very polite staff. My children have had the ravioli, the penne and the chicken fingers and each loved their meals. It's a hidden gem that we are happy to have found :)“

“We had a last minute reservation for 8 people, and we were lucky enough to snag a table. YOU HAVE TO TRY THIS PLACE! Our entire table loved the food. From the appetizers (the warm bread, the amazing carmalized onion spread, & the Calamari), to the main courses (the NY strip steak, the shrimp, and the ravioli), to the dessert (trust me... get the bread pudding!) everything was impeccable. The service staff was also amazing, very attentive and kind. I will definitely be back!“

“We had Thanksgiving dinner here with my two boys. The service was absolutely outstanding. Our waitress was amazing . The food was beyond what I expected. Well done!!!! The portions were beyond believable and believe it or not the take home portions were just as amazing as they were when first brought out. More than 5 stars. Excellent evening and the price was ridiculously resendable. Great job to all the cooks and the people that don't get the recognition they deserve in the preparation of this fantastic meal.“

“Hosted our wedding rehearsal dinner here and we are SO glad did - everything was perfect! Everyone could not get over how delicious all the food was. Danny worked with us to create a menu that was tailored to us and our guests and we got SO much food included in the package we did. He also worked with us to create table arrangements that worked best for our event. I was worried at first that the space only being partially private and not a true private room would be an issue but it was not at all! We really didn’t need it and were happy to still get to enjoy the Sinatra singer that plays for the restaurant that night. He even came over and sang for our party and had us dance which was not expected but a fun surprise that we loved! Overall we had a great event here and I am so happy we chose them to host it!“

“We only came here because it was listed on BringFido, since we were traveling with our 20 pound Shiba Inu, Toby. What a wonderful experience that we had! The food was amazing! And we had just gotten back from the Amalfi coast in Italy. So that has to say something for this place! Jimmy, our server, was a doll and was so kind and brought things out for our dog, like water, etc. - very warm and welcoming place!!! of course we had to eat alfresco, and the traffic was a bit busy at that hour - so if it wasn’t for that noise, we would had an even greater time! But the excellent food and the excellent service more than made up for it! we will definitely be back with Toby!“

I messed up the table seating on 2 tables and the staff was quick to fix my error when a few guests had no seat…The set up was a breeze, they worked with all of us to get all of the decorations set exactly how we wanted it …. Kudos to Sal one of the owners who I had my initial contact with and to Mike the maître D who helped to make this event a success.
Myself and the guests couldn’t say enough wonderful things!
Thank you to all at Mio Posto! Hands down a phenomenal restaurant !!!!“

“Words really cannot express what a perfect setting La Parma III Italian Restaurant was for our family.
I was trying to plan a luncheon to take place after a funeral remotely from San Diego, CA, and had nothing to go on other than a recommendation from the funeral home
I called and spoke to Guido on a Friday and the lunch was being planned for the upcoming Tuesday 8-27th a few days later.
Being in the catering business myself and immediately hearing "no problem" we can do it all, was simply music to my ears. Guido said he would not be in on that Sunday when I wanted to come check it out in person but gladly provided me with the Managers name that would be available that day to meet. When I arrived at the restaurant, I met Richie, and he could not have been more helpful in confirming everything that I had expected to happen.
Not only did they have us set up in a beautiful room with everything ready to go but both Guido and Richie were there during the lunch and worked the entire event in coordination with their amazing team. From the initial contact over the phone, all the way to the completion of the lunch we could not be happier with how professional and accommodating the people at La Parma III were, especially considering we had just lost our loved one. We would call them again for this or any other meal we needed to be catered. In summary, the food and service were five stars, A+, or whatever is the best grade possible!“

“Very cozy restaurant. My first time here and I highly recommend. Service was great and food was extremely tasteful“

“Fabulous food and excellent service !!!“

“Best place to celebrate a birthday, yesterday we.celebrated to my wife with the people’ church and some friends, and it was great experience, the delicious food, the gourmet gastronomy, the service is the best, the kindness people and the excellence of the place was wonderful, highly recommended, it’s the favorite place to have a dinner with my family and friends“

“Meta always goes above and beyond for a fabulous dining experience. This past Sunday, I called to see if it was possible to bring in an Elvis impersonator for my Dad who is in remission from cancer. Not only was Roberto and his staff receptive to the idea, the whole restaurant was singing along with Elvis and all of us. This night was truly magical and I cannot thank Roberto and his staff enough for making my Dad’s dining experience so memorable. The food was amazing, the drinks were flowing and the dessert was delicious. If you haven’t tried Meta, I highly recommend this fine restaurant for a wonderful night 🎉“

“Great food. People are really nice as well.“

“The staff are so friendly and the food is outstanding. Great experience for my son’s post Graduation ceremony dinner. Highly recommend! 🍝“

“A staple for us. We go here all the time. One of the best plain slices in all of New York City (and state probably!)

Parking: Can park around the corner of spots aren't available on plandome

Wheelchair accessibility: Should be good. I believe there's a double door to enter and at grade - no step up or down to order and for some of the tables in the front.“

“Family place...always good...and very reasonable...like eating at momma's....Really a well kept secret by those who think food is more important than a perfectly lit room...must try....you will make friends there.“
