I am a regular customer at Lentini’s. Last night, I went with my wife and son. The restaurant was busy and obviously short staffed. One waitress was out sick and one long term waitress had left when she found another job. Service is ordinarily outstanding. Several people were frustrated last night, customers and obviously employees. Yet, I watched those folks grind it out. They hustled, were polite and apologetic, and in my mind did a great job under bad circumstances. I was in that business a long time. That is a stressful situation, and I think they did outstanding. A good business will look good when they are staffed by trained employees and everything is running smoothly. But you see how good a business really is when they face and conquer extreme circumstances and still treat the customers well. My worst experience there is the one that merits a 5 star review.Good job folks!

We had a great birthday party here for 24 in the private room. The restaurant was very easy to work with. The food and service were excellent. We had our guests order off the dinner menu as desired but also started by ordering a large variety of pizzas to share. They server was extremely attentive, friendly, and helpful. I love that they have beer and wine on the menu. The stuffed shells were very good, as were the salads and homemade ranch dressing that come with the pasta dishes. In case other people are looking to book a room for a private party, I would recommend this place. It seems that room could comfortably fit a much larger party than our own, probably 45-50.

I accidentally ended up in the strip where Lentini's is located. I am originally from the NYC area known for great Italian food, I ordered my favorites heroes/subs / sandwiches to go and tasted these once I got back to my farm. I was transported back HOME where the food is great. Not listed in the options are the amazing waitress staff, the wonderful owners, the pizza maker was making a fresh pizza and I asked him to toss in the air, he did, showing his skills....a lot of pizzerias say NY style pizza...I tried a bunch but this is the best, most authentic pizza in the area....hands down. Go there and MANJA (eat).

Everyone around here thinks. Bellacino's is so great, but I Realized a few years ago that their pizza sauce Is just 2 sweet. The staff here is outstanding, warm and caring.

Haven't eaten in the restaurant but have picked up orders on 3 separate occasions. Staff has been nice and helpful, and the food was delicious every time despite 2 orders being placed just before closing time. Highly recommend if you're in the area and craving some great
Excellent food. The breading is light and crispy making all their dishes taste so wonderful. My favorites are the Cheesesteak Sub with the works. My co-worker is gluten free so she loves the gluten free pizza. Says it's the best around and we travel extensively for work!

We had a large pizza with everything on it. Not enough sauce, the crust was really stiff. Not enough cheese. Give it a 3 out of 5. Side salads are a joke. I'm sorry to say that: lettuce, very unripe tomato. Don't bother. Friends had the Italian Sub and Spaghetti with meat sauce. Both of them were unimpressed. Given the experience as a whole, I don't think we will be back. And I'm sorry to write such a review.

Extras toppings are way too expensive, but everything was a big portion and delicious!
Lentini's is a quaint little italian restaurant in Troutville, VA. The atmosphere was nice. The employees were really sweet. Their bread was excellent. My spouse had a strombolli that she really enjoyed. I had spaghetti and meatballs. It was fair. The meatballs needed some sort of spice. They were very bland. Made it hard to eat the spaghetti. I don't order spaghetti out hardly ever. This meal would make me rethink on ordering this type of dish out again.Parking: We parked in front of the restaurant. It's located in a small strip mall.Kid-friendliness: There were several families there. The kids all seemed to be enjoying their meals.
This was our first time visiting Lentini's. We shared the cheesesteak as we just wanted a little something, nothing major. It was very delicious! It wasn't greasy and had a great flavor. The server was a sweet person, as well as all the people we encountered working there. Highly recommended. We will be going back for more deliciousness!

Our family gathered at Lentini’s recently for dinner - this was my first visit. Our table was ready when we arrived, and our server was friendly and efficient, answering questions about the menu since it was the first visit for most of the group. The food was delicious, plentiful and came out promptly. We would gladly return to Lentini’s!
