The ambiance was nice. We were outside, and even though it was cooler outside the space was really warm and cozy. The live music was really nice.

“I took a date here the Thursday after Valentine's Day and discovered that there is live music on Thursdays. I'm not normally a fan of live music as the musicians tend to crank up the volume and I'm already hard of hearing, but I found the volume to be at an acceptable level, even sitting right in front of where they play. The food was delicious, the service fantastic, and I found both the restaurant and the bathroom to be acceptably clean. I highly recommend Gino's Restaurant as a great place to bring a date.“

“Too many waiters all descending upon you before you have a chance to sit down. Rush seems to be the name of the game. Forgot our appetizer but I think I wound up paying for it anyway. Veal Parmessan was too patties of veal in some sauce. Not bad but not up to my standards for Italian cuisine. But the place was packed so everybody else must have liked it. Steak Oscar, well, it was a nice filet with a few small pieces of asparagus sitting underneath. Nothing fancy at all.“

“I have eaten at both the Monjunis in Shreveport, but I never knew this one existed until a friend suggested it for lunch. This one is just as good as the originals. Today I had the Shrimp Toast appetizer and it was fantastic. Followed that up with a Chicken Parm po-boy that was also very nicely done. My friend is a big fan of the Meatball po-boy. Neither of us could finish it all after eating the appetizer so we both took leftovers home. The experience was very nice overall. Our waiter was friendly and never let our drinks get empty. The restaurant was quiet and calm. For atmosphere music they were playing slow Italian love songs (violins, accordion, think Godfather or Lady & the Tramp) which is fun. Ate good food. Had a good time. Glad to know this one is here. Now I don't have to drive to the other end of the state to get Monjunis!“

“Molto bene! Finding good Italian fare is a struggle. I was so grateful when a friend referred me to Fratelli's. While not completely authentic Italian (you know any food offerings from other countries are usually catering to the American pallette) it was still surprisingly scrumptious. The service was attentive and prompt, the dishes were flavorful and filling. The prices were agreeable and affordable especially considering we recieved complimentary bread and had plenty of food for lunch the next day. I enjoyed the tour of Italy but recommend the chicken parmeseana the most for main courses. For dessert, the cannoli was on point, and the lemon marscapone was delectable, but that spumoni cheesecake was a real show stopper. I'm not a big fan of cheesecake and I would order the spumoni for myself it was so good. Over all, highly recommended!“

“I've been to Rotolo's a number of times, and most of the time, they are a 5-star spot, but occasionally, it's a 2 or 3 star experience, which is why I landed on 4. Priced are reasonable, service is relatively fast, and when they are on their game, the calzones are fantastic! Super cheesy, fresh tasting ingredients, and warm and fluffy. Unfortunately, inconsistency sometimes leads to the calzones being dry and tough, which is such a buzz kill. If you're on this side of town, rotolo's Millerville is one of the better pizza/calzone spots you'll find!“
