I can’t believe I just paid 3 star money for a 5 star experience!

We had a take out dinner tonight. The best filet we have ever tasted! Wonderful experience! Love this place!

Complement to the head Chef Zah, we ordered a vegan meal and was not disappointed. The pasta was flavorful, the bread is absolutely to die for, the salad is refreshing. Highly recommended so far.

We had a group of 7 and Claudia took the best care of us. We had reservations for outside dining and we had the perfect spot. Lunch was delicious and no one left hungry! What an enjoyable and satisfying luncheon!

Jenni and I had the opportunity to dine at Lonzerotti's on a chilly evening in October. Coming in from the brisk, cold night , we were greeted by John Whitney (one of the owners) in the warm and inviting bar area. Just a little tip- make a reservation, because they are a busy place.John took us to our booth in a cozy dining room. They offer both table and booth settings. I personally enjoy a cozy booth. Our server Allen greeted us and took our drink order. We were dining with the innkeeper (Gwenn) from Blessings on State, so she helped navigate us through the many yummy looking choices on the menu.We started our meal off with a sampler platter: Italian Sausage Ravioli; Mozzarella Sticks; and Button Mushrooms (the sampler is not a usual menu item, but each of these items are available separate). We also enjoyed a Shrimp Cocktail (half dozen).A meal could be made right from the appetizers, but we were excited to try more. Jenni ordered the Tortellini- cheese filled tortellini and she chose the marinara sauce (you get to choose your own sauce). I chose the Chicken Parmigiana- hand breaded chicken breast topped with house-made meat sauce, mozzarella, provolone and parmesan; over spaghetti noodles- yummy. The chicken's breading was perfect. It had a nice crunch and the chicken was nice and juicy. I added the side house salad to mine (it comes with a homemade Italian dressing). I really enjoyed the salad (it could have been my meal). Each of the meals also come with the homemade bread sticks (soft and warm). The portions are so large, so you can share or have leftovers to enjoy later.Lonzerotti's is the perfect place to come enjoy a delicious meal with friends and family. Jenni and I enjoyed talking with Gwenn and watching the other diners enjoying their evening.If you are looking for a fun and historical setting for a delicious meal (lunch or dinner)- you need to come to Lonzerotti's in the old train depot. Remember make a reservation.

Oh, Lord, how do I begin? This place was amazing. So worth the price & making a reservation. Every single dish was perfect! The quality is exceptional, & the cook staff know how to prepare everything perfectly. I had chicken marsala & the chicken was done but not over-cooked(I hate that!) & the mushrooms were divine & the sauce wasn't too tart. The breadsticks were so soft & delicate & not over powered with too much garlic. A family member had the seafood lasagna & it was so perfectly cooked it was hard to tell if there was even any noodles in it at all. It was so full of meat & sauce it was heavenly!! We also had an after dinner wine or desert wine called "lemoncellos" (sp?) that was so smooth, & not overwhelmingly sweet or sour. It was divine! Will be back every chance we get when traveling through that area!

Good food

Matt Swenny

Service was the only good about our experience. The salad is a bagged mixed greens with 1 tomato and 1 slice of onion. The lasagna was gressy and lacked any flavor. The seafood lasagna had imitation crab. The bread did not seem to be freshly baked.
