I’m a little Bias here but for a GR8 reason! Last time I was here eating was 1984. Our family treat was here on a Saturday night back then. Medical issues after that summer prevented coming to see the family and I mean mom and dad and the rest!
Let’s fast forward 42 years. Had the manicotti last night with meat sauce and nothing has changed. Also picked up an entire cheese cake for my daughter that still lives here for her birthday today!
Went back tonight and picked up 5 orders of Manicotti for my parents and aunts tomorrow night in Cairo.
The staff and the atmosphere is phenomenal! I had a slice of tiramisu tonight with a double Royal Flush at the bar. BTW the young woman from Alaska makes a mean drink! Take care of her!
It’s amazing to see things don’t change but they evolve and stay the same when run the same. Keep it family!
I graduated in 1990 and was there in 1984 before dad’s accident and back again today, 2025, at 53 years old this weekend….STILL THE SAME!
So from my Mom and Dad (James L and Sharon Lowe Cairo and VSC) to your Mom and Dad and now yourself and your family, I met your daughter and son in law…be blessed and prosperous!

So amazing & economical for Italian fine dining. Multiple sauces on one plate by request is Ritz Carlton status. Give them their Michelin Star already!

I was in town for business and the team I came to visit treated me to a nice dinner here. I had the chicken parmesan and it was delicious. It wasn’t heavy full of breading, but rather grilled or baked. It was something very different than I was accustomed to. The side salad it came with was also pretty good. The service was great and the employees were very kind. I would totally come back if I’m able to return to town on a business trip sometime.

We got take out and it was all very good we even went back a week later. The tortellini is so delicious and their Alfredo is perfect ! My husband usually hates Alfredo sauce but loves the one from Mom and Dads Italian.

Best meat sauce, bread, cheesecake, and pasta you can get in the south, or anywhere for that matter. Truly amazing restaurant and service. Portions are huge and prices are very reasonable. Danilo and his family are super nice. It was great getting to talk to them, hear their story, and hear how the food is made fresh daily. You can not go wrong with this restaurant.

I’m from the north east where lots of Italian restaurants serve excellent dishes so I’m a bit critical. We had calamari that was small pieces and so so didn’t care for the cocktail or marinara with it, Chicken Alfredo sauce a bit bland, salad was good and the steak with cheese and mushroom topping a bit overcooked bread and oil dip good

Let me just start by saying I truly really wanted this place to be amazing. However the food was cold. And the food was not very appetizing at all. Again I truly wanted to love this place but unfortunately it disappointed us.

Malory was very knowledgeable of the menu and helped me make the perfect choice for my dinner. The Lasagna is unmatched and the service is top notch. I’ll return when back in town and can’t wait to try the chicken Parmesan next time! I was going to pass on dessert but when I saw the Oreo cheesecake I couldn’t say no. So my apologies for the partially eaten cheesecake I could barely wait before digging in! Don’t skip the cheesecake you’ll thank me!

My family has been coming here for decades, and have known the owners for years. Owned and operated by a great family, this is the best Mom & Dad’s in the area! Some of my favorite Italian food anywhere. I always like to see how the places I loved as a kid stack up as an adult, and I think I like it as much or more than I did growing up! I’ve never had anything on the menu I wasn’t pleased with, and the bread is great too! If you haven’t been, you owe yourself an apology!

Excellent place for any any occasion. I went here on a date night with husband and was pleasantly surprised. First off… I was looking for a store front, not an actual house. Think 20s Era -with tall ceilings and beautiful windows, flooring, and chandeliers which lent their gentle lighting. The dining area was gently lit, but not so dark to be disconcerting. The tables were set wide enough to not knock into other tables, and can accommodate a wheelchair. (We went up the front steps but did not notice a wheelchair ramp….but neither was I looking for one- sorry about that!) I would advise that the steps be either repainted or redone so that you can tell the difference between the steps. The service was wonderful and responsive. We didn’t have to wait forever for the check and our drinks were never empty. I found out that the deserts are handmade daily by the chef. I was disappointed that they didn’t have cannolis or tiramisu. But they did have 6 kinds of cheesecake. The meal opened with fresh bread that came with an herbed olive oil. We chose to have 2 entrees- Veal Parmesan as well as the Spaghettti alla Bruzzi. Both of these entrees came with a side salad. I chose to upgrade to a different salad offered on the menu for a small fee. The tomato salad was great. It comes with a house vinaigrette. The vinaigrette in conjunction with the tomatoes reminded me of Bruschetta. It was light and refreshing. The portions of the Veal and spaghetti were just right. It’s enough for a healthy appetite or a small appetite with some to go for lunch the next day. The entrees did have extra sauce (better to sop up with the provided bread.) I suspect that we could definitely asked for items to be lightly sauced, but I enjoyed it. They did have a wine list and cocktail drink list. It appeared to have a good mix with options to order wine by glass or bottle. Cocktails/mixed drink priced per order as normal. We did not imbibe so I cannot comment on the quality of the drinks. The server was wonderful and friendly and informative. The ladies restroom was well stocked, very clean, and disability enabled. I would defintely recommend this restaurant as a place to go for italian.
