The Ladies of the Dukes

I got there by 11 as the night before Google had said it opens at 11. A young man walked up to my car and told me that they now open at 11:30. I mentioned the Google and he told me that apparently some old manager had the access to it and that they couldn’t change it.

Deciding not to waste the gas of driving home and then having to turn right around, I just sat there in the parking lot. Later that day the Google hours mysteriously changed to 11:30. Being lied to is not a good first impression.

Anyways, 75% of the clientele were elderly over 75. Not that that’s a problem but you’ll see why I bring that up in the next paragraph. Anyways, this place was packed to the gills with people and even though I didn’t have a reservation I was seated instantly. The server and hostess were very kind.

That’s a shame because the food was terrible. They start by giving you ice cold wonder bread with butter packets. I ordered cavatelli. The pasta was gluey and gummy, mushy, with bland sauce. I can see why the food is like this given most of their customers are old enough for dentures and a free retirement home placement. But it tasted terrible, would not recommend it unless you’re super old.

Will not be back which is a shame because the service was kind and it was cheap but the food was so awful that it’s not worth going back.

I called in at 2:00pm Sunday to be ready for pick up. My wife showed up at 4:00 and waited over a hour till she seen people get there food that was to be ready at 4:30 and 5:00. So my wife walks in the kitchen and they told her our order to was too big to fulfill. So 7 dinners in two hours is too big to fulfill? My wife and I are in from South Carolina visiting and this is the reason we left this miserable town!!! Lady’s of the dukes should close their doors that they can’t handle 7 dinners. I have never seen anything or heard of anything like this. They should be ashamed of themselves. I nor anyone in my family that still live here will ever order or eat their food again..

I have been here many times in my life and I love the service and the welcoming atmosphere also.

The spaghetti is 10/10 and it reminds me of places like home, that provide wonderful blessings to me.

Best place to eat Great people and atmosphere.

The Ladies of the Dukes is the best Italian restaurant in New Castle. I can't say enough good things about it. Reservations are highly recommended. Prices are very budget friendly. Waiters, waitresses, and greeters are all cordial and helpful. Very pleasant place to enjoy your Sunday dinner. And I highly recommend the spaghetti and tiramisu!

We had my parents 50th wedding anniversary party here. The food was amazing! Everyone was asking for menus to take home. Lori did a fantastic job with the food! Very easy to work with and sweet as can be. The 2 servers also were amazing! They bussed the tables fast and efficiently. We can't wait to plan our next party there

Best you can get

The food is really good other than the portion size is sooo small now. I've ate here several times but am extremely upset today because I feel as if my family has kid portions when I ordered large portions. What I thought was gonna be an easy dinner has turned out to be extra work and money. I am making dinner after I ordered takeout. I am disappointed to say the least.
