A little disappointing. Had to have a marguerita remade. They had no desserts other than Gelato although their website advertises creme Brule and several others.

Doug, the bartender is amazing! Slammed busy on a Saturday night but still so personable; treated us right and amazing espresso martinis!

We had a reservation for 7:30 for 4 on a Friday night, and we were seated within a few minutes of arriving - thumbs up! Someone brought water to the table, but we didn't see a waiter for another 15 minutes. No big deal, as we weren't in a hurry. But it went down hill from there! Our waiter can best be described as an introvert on ADHD meds! He was hesitant to approach the table, he couldn't answer basic questions about the menu, and after we ordered, we didn't see him again for about an hour!! Seriously, this guy should NOT be a waiter at a restaurant where the total bill for 4 people is over $200. It's an insult. We each had a pasta dish, and reviews were about the same - it's OK/good. I had chicken parmigiana, and it was just OK. Actually, it was below average, but I'll give it the benefit of the doubt as some might like overcooked chicken, so I'll just say it was "OK". Portion size was very small, which is very unusual in an Italian restaurant. The bread appetizer with spinach and melted Gouda was ... just OK. Honestly, this was a very disappointing visit to a restaurant that has been a family favorite since it opened in the late 80s. It has gone so far downhill that it is completely unrecognizable from its former glory. It's a hard pass from now on!

I visited DePalma's for a work dinner, and the experience did not disappoint. Service was on point, especially for a slightly large party. At 5 p.m., the restaurant wasn't busy, and we were seated immediately. Our meals came out in a timely fashion. I had the lasagna, which was delicious. My only wish was for a larger portion size. I'd definitely return.

Host with fedora was too busy talking to guests than checking people in. Took 45 min to be seated (no one was there). Took another 45-50 to get food. Prosciutto had weird waxy taste. I ate none of my food. I would not recommend this

What a great experience. A great space, I was in the mood for eggplant, and they had a delicious option.
The manager wouldn't allow us to add people (3 to be exact) to our reservation, although there was space available in the restaurant. He wasn't accommodating or friendly at all. My group wasn't able to be seated with the large party so we left. He made no suggestion about sitting at the bar or anything. "Bad Business"

This place was awesome! The pizza was so good I had the chef, Nick, come out to tell him personally. All the appetizers were amazing as well. Helen, our bartender was super nice and charismatic. Would absolutely go back!
Had the eggplant florentine at the Timothy Road location on Sunday afternoon. The eggplant was overcooked--dry, tough, tasted like cardboard--felt like I needed a steak knife to cut it. My tablemate had a different dish that was delicious, but I recommend that you don't order the eggplant. No wait to be seated, but subsequent service was slow. Loved the ambiance.

It was mine and my husband's first time going there. We both ended up getting the seafood charmaine and it was absolutely delicious! Our appetizer was amazing too!!
First time there, and the food, and the service was amazing.

Chef's special of wild mushroom and leeks on fettuccine was good.Customized scallop and shrimp with pesto was a bit heavy, but good.I'd go back just for the hot bread and olive oil dipping.

The food was perfect, service as well. Only off-putting thing was the dirty smell in the foyer. Smelled like molded mop bucket water. But they could have just cleaned something. But the lasagna was a 10 along with that pre dinner bread and oil!!Parking: Typical street pay parking.
Great food with great atmosphere.
