This place has been in business forever & it is still amazing! I have moved out of the area but picked this place for a birthday celebration. The food was awesome, the staff was great, I was not disappointed.Vegetarian options: I had the eggplant parmesan, yum!

Very poor Easter buffet. We've come here for a few years and it has, unfortunately, gotten progressively worse. This year, the food selection was very limited and quality was poor. Service was non-existent. It was nice to visit with family, but can do that at home for less than $40+ per person. Will be looking into other good options for next year.

The Easter buffet was very disappointing. $30 per person plus an automatic 20% tip for very poor quality food, few options, and minimal service.

We had family style for a post-funeral luncheon.Italian sausage, baked chicken, roast beef sliced thin, fresh baked bread.Mixed vegetables, mashed potatoes (instant?), no gravy.The Minestrone soup was good, and I liked the baked chicken, Italian sausage and fresh baked bread. Otherwise, rather bland.

Great server. Food wasn't the best but still a place to come to. I went to the Bartender to buy my husband a shot and she was not friendly at all. I think she was ready to go home.

The Sautéed Lake Perch was prepared perfectly and is Outstanding. We came to see my long-time Joe Elvis Turrito who put on an excellent Elvis Tribute Show with no breaks for 3 Hours. The delicious Meal complemented well the electric atmosphere in the Room for this Show.The 60+ Guests attending the Show in the front Dining area were impressed and comforted by the ambience of their surroundings.The Room has beautiful Stained Glass in the overhead light. Joe "Elvis" Sang many upbeat unique Songs from various Elvis Eras and had several excited Fans dancing in the aisle at various times throughout the Show. Whether you are DiningIndoors in the colder Months or Outdoors on the exquisite Deck and Bocce Ball area you can't go wrong eating anything on the Menu while enjoying Live Music at this Place.The wait staff was understandably very busy this night but remained very attentive to the Dining Attendees needs. The Staff seemed overwhelmed at times trying to navigate the small spaces between the Tables to bring Food Orders to the hungry Guests. Mama Vesuvios Family Member Owners were very conscientious to the dining patrons needs. Dale always helps the Wait Staff clear the tables quickly while her Husband Gino often mingles with the appreciative Guests in attendance. Overall, the Italian Menu including the memorable Chicken Marsala, Salmon and Spaghetti Dish choices here are always meticulously prepared, served Hot and are extremely satisfying and delicious.In the 13+ years that myself, my Daughter Lenore, her Mother my Ex-Fiance Marianne, my past 2 Girlfriends, my present Girlfriend and many of our other invited Guests over the years have never had an unpleasant Dining Experience here. I would highly recommend Dining and attending an Entertainment Event at this cozy neighborhood gem.

We went there for Valentine’s Day last night for dinner and entertainment, The entertainment and the drinks were about the best thing the whole night The waitress was so slow she was walking behind herself.” I was very disappointed” in the food. I ordered chicken Lamone and I took a half a bite and sent the whole plate back it was horrible. Didn’t even taste like Lamone , it taste like flour and water, Our Valentine evening was ruined. Thanks Mama Vesuvio that’s the first and last time I’ll ever be there.??????

Mama Vesuvio’s East has become our go-to place for carry-out pizza. The price is reasonable compared to other the places that have become very expensive and the quality and service is always great.
