Being from Staten Island I was really happy they opened this place up here! The lobster and octopus are high points!Lobster is cooked good, served in many dishes and you don’t have to put much effort into getting to the meat.The octopus is a thick fine meat and almost taste like a steak. It’s very good! So is the lobster and pasta dishes. There are much more on the menu and you can fill up for days for a good price!I should have worked here… sorrry I missed the interview Wednesday. Lots going on! Good luck in New Jersey we love you guys!

TWO times, WONT be a third. After hearing all the hype about this spot, I decided to give it a try. first time I went with some friends, the food runner had dropped my friends, hot soup that he ordered as an appetizer all over my leg and my jeans were destroyed. I decided to give it a second try tonight and ordered RIGATONI bolognese, after 35 mins the server brought out a different pasta, after it was remade I got my rigatoni in a pinkish soupy watery sauce with meat in it, FAR from bolognese!! This spot just don't do it, extremely loud, and service not good.

We went with another couple and the food and service were very good. The Money bags were delicious. The ambiance was nice but very loud. I think some acoustical ceiling buffers would help some. We had a hard time talking to our friends that were with us.

Food was very good. Freshly baked goods were very tasty. Service was fine. The only important negative for me is they charge 3.5% for credit card use. So I won’t go back unless that policy changes.

Ordered carbonated the pasta was fresh but the food lacked flavor . Barely a little bit of fresh pepper. And the dish lacked any salt. The panchetta was bland.No Designated bathroomsLet’s face it: men need urinals. Plus women don’t want to share with men.There was a server who was never taught about sanitary. His hands were touching people and shaking hands and handling plates . I really expected a lot betterPrices are very high.Would had liked to been approached by manager but he walked past us. I don’t like complaining to servers.Maybe Spanos can open up here . This is not going to last. High prices, ok food , sanitary handling needs to be improved. Get A Mens room and Ladies Room designated.

My wife and I tried Patricia's for the first time tonight I can't say enough about the food, service. out waitress Michelle was unbelievable. I don't think I have ever had a more pleasant and attentive waitress/waiter in my entire life. Definitely recommend and definitely will be return customers. Bob and Joyce Toms River

First time visitor. Food was great and service was second to none. One member of our party has celiac. Chef prepared gluten-free dish of pasta with lobster which was thoroughly enjoyed. Will definitely visit again.

The food was good i ordered for an appetizer the Stuffed Artichoke it tasted good but i wish it was simpler to much going on a simple stuffed one without all the extra ingredients would work. Then i had the Seafood Risotto it was very good . The staff were excellent. We weren't rushed.

Was there Sunday evening. Had the shrimp scampi over linguine was very good and our waitress was exceptional. Will definitely be returning.

Went on a Friday night conversation dinner. The music was so loud that we could not even have a conversation with our guests. Our experience was not enjoyable, and I probably will not return.

Me and my two friends came in for a quick bite and ended up having the night of our lives. The service, the atmosphere, and the ambiance was immaculate. We ordered the meatballs, the eggplant parm tower, and the buratta as appetizers and they were incredible. After telling the owner that I don’t even like eggplant and that eggplant parm was incredible he gifted us the stuffed eggplant which was somehow even better! This food was truly worth its weight in gold. We split the carbonara pasta and that was probably my favorite thing we ordered besides our desserts. For our desserts we ordered the flambé, the toasted almond cake, and was gifted the cheesecake in a cone by the owner (who was also incredible). Although my friends and I were already planning on writing a phenomenal review from the geitgo, the way the owner Salvatore went above and beyond was such a true treat. We genuinely felt like family having dinner. You can tell this gentleman and his staff have such a passion for food and running this restaurant! The food was honestly the best food I have had in a LONG time. Everything was cooked to perfection, hot, fresh, and made with love. I cannot say enough good things about this place. We will absolutely be coming back thank you again for this hidden gem in silverton.Parking: The parking lot is absolutely huge and if for some reason you can’t find parking in the front, there’s loads of parking in the back.Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access up onto sidewalk and tables are easily moved around to accommodate someone who is wheelchair bound.

Overall, it was a good experience, and I will go back. It is a very nice atmosphere, roomy, and byob helps keep the cost reasonable.While the food was good, I can't say I'm as over the moon about it as some people were. The bread and spicy, garlicky oil that accompanied it up seating was delicious.The stuffed artichoke was amazing.The Patricia's salad came with giod ingredients, but felt the dressing could have been a little better. Maybe just my preference, but I like dressings with balsamic to be a bit thicker and this was more like a regular vinegar consistency.We thought the fried potatoa sides would be sliced and enough for sharing. They were actually halved small potatoes. At first we were disappointed because we thought it would taste different. But it actually tastes like fried potatoes and were very yummy. With five of us though we could only get a small piece each.Friends who had pasta said was "good" but didnt rave.It could have just been our particular waitress, but the service was not very good.Bottom line somethings could use improvement, but definitely worth a second visit to try additional itemsVegetarian options: There are a few but most require modification, which the manager said can be done. I would prefer to see more vegetarian options directly from menu and also at least one vegan
