“I had a birthday celebration at this restaurant. We sat near the cozy fireplace on a chilly night. The cheeseboard (varied cheeses, focaccia bread, honey, blackberries, nuts, jam, greens) and Pt. Judith calamari were beautifully presented. Excellent bottle of Pinot Grigio from Tuscany, Italy added to food, Staff was very accomodating. I enjoyed mussels, scallops, little necks over pasta in scampi sauce. Others had the salmon as well as the bolognese. It's a very roomy, quiet setting near the water. Staff came out to sing happy birthday with a luscious ice cream dessert with a candle on top. I was pleasantly surprised. We will return to this place for sure!”

My two year old enjoyed the Mac and cheese and roasted chicken. Told my husband we should make this our regular Sunday lunch! Will definitely be going back.”

“This place is an example of what works so well when a small business is in tune with it's customers.
I have never had a bad sandwich from Ricotti's. But this one time, due to a glitch in the online order system, they didn't get my sandwich correct. I'm sure it was great, but I couldn't eat it.
I reached out to them and they immediately apologized and made good on the mistake.
This service is why we should all support local, small businesses. They try harder and usually go above and beyond. Ricotti's does!”

I go whenever I get the chance, which isn't too often, but when the time comes, it's always a great experience. From the husband and wife who do an amazing job, to the food, this place is a diamond in the rough. With all of the lower quality pizza places around, we need more places like nellos to give us what we all deserve, Top notch and delicious food ❤️”

“Our wedding cake was absolutely amazing! Paul worked closely with me to bring my vision to life, even sketching out the design on paper so we could see exactly how the three-tiered cake would come together. The finished cake was beautiful and exactly what I had envisioned. And, of course, it tasted incredible! We received so many rave reviews from our guests, especially about the chocolate flavor, which was a huge hit. We couldn’t have been happier with our cake and the care Paul put into making it so special for our wedding day!”

“To the incompetent individuals @dewolftavern who stiffed us on the exorbitant take out Thanksgiving meal you provided missing half the turkey, gravy and the mashed potatoes we payed for and drove a half hour to pick up.... To the girl who insisted after my father asked if everything in our order was in the bag that it was, to your manager who was unhelpful and should be dealt with accordingly and whomever portioned out the meal should be reprimanded as well. Our oven is broken on Thanksgiving and your incompetence made it an even greater day.
