Whenever we are in Middletown, we always stop in for a cold one and some appetizers or a complete dinner. No one makes better Italian specialties or double cut pork chops.

We’ve been coming pretty regularly for some time and have been very happy. Tonight we had a server, Donna, whom we’ve never had before. She was so awesome and patient with me. I was indecisive and she asked me my likes, my dislikes, what I usually have etc. I wasn’t too sure about the sauce I tried which was probably amazing, just not something I would prefer. She would not take no for an answer and got me a different sauce… even after the kitchen was closed.Another great experience and even better this time around knowing they cared enough to make sure you were happy. ❤️

Loved it! The food was excellent and you'll definitely be feeling full after your meal. Portion sizes are huge and the bread and oil was a great addition. Greta restaurant for garlic fans!

I don't feel anyone could ever say anything bad about Desteffano's old Erie! family, friendly, atmosphere, if you don't feel it when you walk in, you'll feel it before you leave! these people are the best‼ the food is so gooooodddd! never disappoints! If you haven't been there, you need to try it! whether you just go to have a drink and a appetizer or you go in for lunch, dinner, or have a party you won't be disappointed‼ they make you feel like they've known you forever no matter who you deal with their everyone is amazing!The food, service. The place is always decorated to perfection, and you cannot ever beat the prices.

The location is the best thing this place has going. I don't know where to start the place is overpriced for food that does not taste freshly prepared. The space taste like rage from a can it literally had like a taste of a tin can and no flavor. The meatballs tasted frozen my kids wouldn't eat it. I had the sausage ravioli the sauce was just thrown on top with two sausage links just placed on top. The bread was pretty good but it was brought out cold. The best thing I had was the chicken pot pie which definitely taste like a different chef made it than everything else. I would go back just for the pot pie but otherwise don't waste your time or money.

The food was very good and filling! I went around Halloween the place was decorated so cute ! Definitely like a romantic setting to go to if you have a significant other. Classy for a girls night out as-well in the 845. The service was good, our waitress did seem over worked but she definitely was very much so appreciated and got a nice tip. When I go back Id definitely like the same wait forgot her name to give her a shout out! I'll come back to this when I go back. The drinks were strong, I could drink and was feeling very nice off of 2-3 of their drinks.

This place is amazing. We decided to rent out the room in the back for our rehersal dinner and they did not disappoint us. Everyone raved about all the food and the brownie tower was to die for. Staff was super friendly and was great the entire night. Thank you so much!
Went to Kiwanis Installation dinner there. Best food. Best

Very good Italian food. I love this place. One of the few family owned restaurants left in Middletown. They give you so much food I'll be eating leftovers for days.

As a picky eater I knew this place would be good when the bar was packed and there was an hour wait to be seated. The chicken parm was delicious and the sauce was amazing.

Went for dinner this evening and everything was ok up until my open face prime rib sandwich arrived. I didn’t realize that the 16 oz steak would be crushing and hiding two small and thin pieces of garlic bread. When I expressed my dissatisfaction, the server called over the manager who smugly informed me that the sandwich was served just as it was described on the menu. Ok but she didn’t care that I was not happy with my meal and made no attempt to make it right. So I am glad that so many others have had pleasant experiences and were thrilled with their food and service but I am not impressed and won’t be back.
