We went for a family Christmas dinner 2 days after Christmas. There were 8 of us and the place was virtually empty. The drinks were watery--one of us had Dewers on the rocks and it looked like watered down ginger ale--all drinks looked the same, btw. (We waited quite a while for them to begin with.) The parmigiana dishes were all so bad, that not one of the 3 who ordered them wanted them to take home, leaving them on the table. (One even told the waitress she didn't like it at all and nothing was done--no offer to remove it from the bill.) The appetizers were the only thing worth the price all night. We ordered the last 12 oysters (buck-a-shuck) and were told they were fresh that day. After all other appetizers (8) were delivered, we were told the oysters were questionable after all and couldn't be served!! (Guess they weren't 'fresh that day'.) The waitress was very inattentive. She never cleared our plates when we were done eating or offered another round of drinks. We sat there finishing our watered down drinks surrounded by dirty plates. When we looked at the bill, the oysters were still on it!! Just a bad way to spend Christmas with out of town family we only see once or twice a year. The dinner cost us over $500 with tip, so we are willing to spend when a meal is worth it. Parma, we know you can do better, that's why we suggested going there and were embarrassed for suggesting you, apologizing to the group.

Came for Happy Hour during the week for just drinks with my mom. Very good drinks and service.I got a $8 Manhattan which was balanced so well and smooth. My mom got a $6 lemon drop which was great as well.We then went off the menu and asked the bartender to make something sweet for us to split. I found a drink on the internet called a “Nutty Russian.” Equal parts vodka, frangelico and kahlua.This was amazing! It was like stronger espresso martini by alcohol volume without the coffee.Jennifer was the bartender that night and she was awesome!

Parking: Enough spots for a decently busy night.

Complete garbage knowing u don't carry that dish don't inform customer the owner brings it out to me with kindness what a slime ballIt was horrible to top it off .False advertisementOwner apparently doesn't give a heck and only cares about money should have went to silvios a real gnocchi dish with real gravy and mozzarella melted all ob top of it. This owner is a jackass unreal my first and last timeNegative 10 for a rating I am so angry that nobody cares or takes pride anymore

Really good food in what appears to be a local dive bar with a SMALL side room of a restaurant. The U shaped bar seems to be packed with regulars, and it has a very slightly upscaled dive bar feel, then they crank out really good food. It's the weirdest combination of Bud Light and Fois Gras, but it works.

Delicious food, great service. We were there for the first time this past week. The special for $19.99 is great ... no skimping on food. Took friends there on Friday. Great time with live music. Highly recommend.

This was our first time here and it did not disappoint!! After being told by a different restaurant that they didn't want to serve our 12 person party (even though we had reservations for 2 months) I called Parma Ristorante and they happily told me they would take my party! We came after our rehearsal for our wedding this weekend and was greeted by some of the nicest people! Service was fantastic and the food was incredible! Thank you so much to the staff at Parma Ristorante for making our rehearsal dinner so great!

I love the vibe here. The girls/ staff are so sweet. I love the half off wine and app specials. The food is good but I wish they had a bigger menu. If you plan on going on Friday or Sat go early or make reservations because they have local singers/entertainment and it gets completely packed.

This was our first time here, however it will not be the last!!! We started with stuffed squash flowers. They were out of this world! I had carbonara and it was also very tasty! The fried egg on on top was cooked to perfection! My husband the the pasta with clams and thought the sauce was exceptionally and there were a lot of clams in the sauce. Definitely worth giving this place a try.

One of our favorite authentic Italian restaurants. Recently enjoyed dinner with my dad from out of state. The bartender Christine is so professional and friendly she makes you want to stay all night! The cocktails are superb and she is an amazing mixologist! The food ? everything is to die for. The meatball appetizer is one of my favs, the buck a shuck during the week from 3-5 is a must!! We also got chicken parm, eggplant parm and baked cod special . There is so much food we were fortunate to have leftovers! Plus we had to leave room for desert I had the apple tart that I’m still craving . The environment is so family friendly that phones don’t matter and I failed to take pics because of it …next time!

We had 2 birthday celebrations in late May '22 on same night. We had 9 guests and all agreed that both the service and food were ex ceptional. The staff was very attentive and went over and above to make this a very special evening.

Service and atmosphere excellent. Food wonderful, delicious, served hot. Bonus surprise having live entertainment on Friday night. Don't miss this experience!

Even with a reservation and GPS I drove right by (hint you have to enter from a side driveway). For what it lacks on the outside, it makes up for inside with food, layout, comfort, and staff. Will definitely be back soon!!
