Wonderful! Great food and very generous portions. My wife’s salmon was cooked perfectly and by far the best she’s gotten in a restaurant. The pasta and pizza are likewise very good. The service was excellent and the prices reasonable. Italian food done well!

My husband and I went for our anniversary last night. It was a wonderful experience. The ambiance was cozy. The service was attentive and pleasant. The food was delicious. I had the lasagna, my husband had shrimp with pasta in a butter cream wine sauce. (Not sure what it was called.) We would highly recommend this restaurant!

Thank you for the wonderful lunch today.
My husband loved his Linguine Frutti D’Mare, our 11 yo daughter gobbled up her Fettuccine Alfredo and I especially enjoyed the Scallopini Marsala.
We also loved the Caeser salad and fresh bread and olive oil. Yummy!
We couldn’t resist dessert and were glad we squeezed it in… 10 out of 10 for the Cheesecake and the Mona Lisa.
We are visiting from Far North Queensland in Australia and it was such a pleasure to experience this beautiful Italian American Restaurant.
Sending extra love and gratitude to the beautiful lady with dark brown hair that served us so kindly and attentively.

We drove 2 hours, just to try this place. It was well worth the trip. Everything from appetizers and salads, to entrees and desserts was excellent and wonderful. We will be coming back just to try something different every time. I would give them 10 stars if I could. 100% recommend.

Great family owned restaurant. Everyone is so friendly and the food is solid! They were super accommodating to us and our two toddlers. My chicken parm was delicious and the portions are generous! We’ll be back!

My fiance and I are locals and have dined there before. He had the pizza and said it is the best around! I had a delicious, cheesy pasta dish. The bread dipped in the olive oil is also very good! We are returning customers and never had an issue or complaint. The food and the service are always good!

This fine restaurant was found by literal happenstance as my partner and I were hungry for dinner, and it came up on Google maps, so we made the decision to go. Getting access to the restaurant is weird, but if you’re coming off the highway, you can access the parking by driving to the back of the building. We were greeted immediately by our waiter, jake, who allowed us to pick our own seating since it was right before dinner service. He was pleasant and professional all the way through…
The interior ambiance is well decorated and intimately lit. But I did observe that the table glass lights were not readily lit and not at every table to help enhance the atmosphere. It’s not a deal breaker, but in the scope of fine dining…
My partner ordered what had to have been one of the absolutely best pizzas in both presentation and flavor! I myself ordered the pesto spicy chicken with rigatoni and sun dried tomato. The flavor of that dish literally GALVANIZED my taste buds and seduced my senses with perfectly tender cuts of chicken and rigatoni that was al dente! The pesto sauce is made fresh in-house by the Maestro Chef Sam, who coincidentally is one of the owners. His dedication to the creation of old-world Italian cuisine was noted in every bite!
I intentionally gave a 4-star review ONLY because there is room to always innovate and improve. But do NOT let that negatively influence you in any way. LITTLE ITALY is a MUST DESTINATION for anyone looking for an intimate and cozy dining experience that is not burdened with televisions like a sports bar type. This place is the-real-deal for couples, families, and more. You will NOT be disappointed AT ALL!
And when you go, make sure to see Lady Lula; wife of the Chef and the Hostess. Her humble and genuine concern for her patrons’ dining experience comes from the heart with an authenticity that you can not mistake.
Although it is far from where we live, I can say with full conviction that it was money well spent, and we have placed LITTLE ITALY on our list of go-to of restaurants. Thank you for taking care of us. We will make the trip just to dine there because it was well earned!
