Great food with great service. Tortellini is the bomb. New York style pizza is great too. Always a great dining experience. Run by a very nice family.

I made reservations as I have in the past. Plenty of parking. I advised the hostess we had a reservation for 6:30P, she addressed me by name, and offered us a choice of any table. Great touch! Reales has live entertainment 3 times a week, we choose a booth where we both had a view of our crooner. He could have upped his game a bit. The restaurant was almost completely empty which may have affected his enthusiasm. Our waitress was ok, she disappeared for a long while, and we were so ready to order our bottle of wine The food was first-rate. I had the Stromboli, so delightfully appetizing. The marinara sauce for dipping was superb. My guest had the Cesar Salad and Ziti both scrumptious.

Server was fast and friendly and made the best dirty Martini ever. The fried calamari was perfect. Crispy and the egpland Parmigiano was different with not as many layers as before and a layer of cheese vs. sauce on top, maybe a new cook or recipe it was my favorite now, a 7 of 10 after getting it for years. Salad was crispy and cold. Chicken Genovese had the perfect basil cream sauce, and the fettuccine was cooked perfect.

The menu is extensive for anyone who knows Italian food. We had 9 people ordering a variety of dishes. All were excellent. Our server, Gena(sp?) was warm and capable. The place was very busy but the staff took care of everyone. I have had lunch here before and picked it for a birthday party. It was GREAT!
This place is great! The food was delicious, and they had live music. ?

This place never misses. From the quality of the food, to the ambiance of the restaurant, and the excellent service! Highly recommend. My food was cheesy, fresh, hot, and the dough was cooked perfectly to a slight crisp!

A few years ago we tried this place during the pandemic and were not impressed but decided to give another chance tonight, $90 down the drain. Some of the worst Italian food I have ever eaten. After living in Italy for many years I was excited to try this place. The calamari was over cooked and way too crispy, the shrimp scampi was too fishy and had a strange taste, the ravioli was undercooked. My martini was great and the bruschetta was decent. Will not be coming back.
Reale's has been my go-to Italian restaurant for years when I'm craving authentic Italian food. I highly recommend giving them a try if you have never been.

After a long day, We were there for dinner last night, we were looking for a nice quiet table but instead they sat us by the bar, the atmosphere was loud, a bunch of older people, just loud. We ordered two appetizers, the meatballs were not chef quality, tasted more like old bread mixed with tasteless meat, we ordered the meat lasagna, to our surprised, it looked more like a five year old cooked it, the lasagna had was tasteless shaved sausage, looked bad and the food was cold, seriously, shaved sausage! Presentation just not appealing, to add insult to injury, their prices were high, this was my second time experiencing this low quality food, there will be no third time for us.
