The other night my family and I meet up with our cousins here. We were sat pretty quickly, which was nice. Our server, Lisa was THEE BEST!!! She was patient, kind and prompt coming and going from table. The food was really good as well. All our plates were empty including all the appetizers we had ordered. We had not realized that they closed at 9. Our waitress Lisa was so professional n polite letting us know. She stated she was not rushing us out but wanted to know if we needed anything else cause they were closed. We truly did not know because we were engulfed in our conversations. Kudos to Lisa n the entire staff for being so polite n kind!! We definitely will coming back for more yumminess!!!

Ordered door dash last night, and the food was just bland and boring. The marsala didn’t have any flavor, the raviolis were flat and limp, and the lasagna was burnt. Pretty disappointed for my first time, as it was recommended by local friends. We spent over $125 and didn’t get bread or a salad, or even extra cheese for that matter. If I were you, I’d try some place else!

We had our Mom’s 75th Birthday dinner at Enzo’s and we were very pleased with the food and the service. We were a party of 23 seated at 2 long tables in the main restaurant and were able to get up and socialize between tables. It’s BYO alcohol and they were very helpful with putting stuff on ice. Fried calamari is crispy and tender. Clams on the 1/2 shell are fresh, tasty and perfect size. Cold antipasto platter had something for everyone. We gave our guests a choice of 4 entrées … chicken francese, veal marsala, shrimp scampi or penne vodka with chicken. The food was served hot and everyone enjoyed their meals. We had two kids meals of chicken tenders and fries which were crispy and yummy. The servers were all helpful and friendly and checked on us often to refill drinks and water carafes and make sure we had everything we needed. I would definitely recommend having your next celebration at Enzo’s.

Terrible pasta… It was so bad I had to ask my wife if it was whole wheat. Bland would be an understatement!

A very nice dining experience with very tasty Italian food. We enjoyed the mozzarella sticks, cheesy garlic bread, mussels, focaccia and I had the veal parmesan. It was very good. Portions were very plentiful. They do not offer wine or beer so it is BYOB. It was a very nice atmosphere I would highly recommend it!

Ordered take out. Lasagna was burnt. Chicken marsala was dry and flavorless. Salad was wet. No bread included in our order. Called to explain was hung up on. Will not go back.

Cafe Italia was our favorite Italian restaurant for over 10 years until last night – 7/21/2023. If I could give a 0 star I would . We had reservations for 6 at 7:pm. Our orders were taken at 7:30- I asked for no garlic in my food (food sensitivity) as they state everything was made to order. The host, who stated he was from “ Roma” informed me all dishes were coked with garlic but could grill shrimp over pasta – I asked if he could do a lemon wine sauce& he said yes. Our salads arrived at 8:10- our meals at 9:10- The original dish I ordered was scallops & shrimp in a pink sauce over linguine. They placed this original dish in front of me then added another dish of linguine in plain olive oil with grilled shrimp ?? I called the waiter & told him. He gave me 2 entrees- he apologized & took away the scallops & shrimp. I ate the grilled shrimp- which lacked flavor but I was starving & a few swirls of the linguine in oil, it was enough to lose your appetite. Our friends had various Italian dishes they described as good but not great I The bill arrived charging me $32 for my dish – I called the host & he said he would take $10 off the dish. I laughed & told him to please inform the chef this was absolutely awful . He later, acting as in he had no clue , said he took off the cost of the meal.

Delicious dinner for a party of 8 ! Accommodations were great and the waiters were very attentive and kind. The bread served at the table was delicious, served with an olive oil mixture & parmigiana cheese. All dinners come with a salad which was great & fresh. I ordered the gnocchi with chicken and vodka sauce, other orders was eggplant parm, salmon, spicy pasta, and a seafood pasta dish. All meals were great and large portions. We were here for a birthday celebration and they do a nice little show. Lights turned off within the dining room, and the whole room sings ! It was cute, overall delicious place for Italian food, great staff and very clean! Make your reservation prior !!

Horrible service. No one at front desk. No bread, had to ask. No butter, had to ask. took a long time for wine glasses. Had to get salt and pepper off of another table. Asked twice for ice bucket. Had to get up and ask for parmigian cheese. Crab cake was tasteless and corn salsa was too sweet. Coffee was old and supposedly fresh pot was still not good. To top it off, there was no toilet paper in the bathroom I was in. I have been coming here for 27 years and this was the worst experience I’ve ever had.

Although most our party of 10 said the food was acceptable, it took about an 1 1/2 hour for our entrees. I watched at least at least two other tables seated after us, ate and left before we were served.
