The pasta is great and they’re very sweet about making accommodations for picky/autistic people! My husband was underwhelmed by the escargot and veal, not really worth the price. The drinks are also pretty pricey. Service is nice, but don’t expect to see your server very often. We went at a non-busy time and our server only checked on us once. Overall, the atmosphere is quite nice though. Two people tables are a little small.

Service and atmosphere were nice but taste of foods were not we expected. The pizza base was burnt. We didn’t give feedback to the waitresses
because we were hungry and finished immediately. The food was tasteless, something was missing. This is our comment please test and review yourself.

This was our first time trying this place. We were given some gift cards and we were pleasantly surprised with how good everything was from the food to the service . Our server Christopher was exactly what we needed. Polite and knowledgeable. Also, thank you to the chefs because y’all crushed it. My husband had the striploin and I have the chicken parmigiana.. delicious!
Thank you for a delicious meal and a very nice evening out. We will most definitely be back. Thank you!

We had a wonderful experience at this Italian restaurant! The ambience was warm and inviting, with a cozy atmosphere that made the evening feel special. The soft lighting and pleasant background music added perfectly to the dining experience.

We started with refreshing lemonade🍸 and the soup of the day πŸ²β€” a creamy mushroomπŸ„β€πŸŸ« soup that was delicious. The bruschetta was fresh and flavorful, followed by a veggie pizzaπŸ• that was perfectly baked with just the right amount of cheese and toppings.

The highlight for me was the Alla Nonna pasta🍝 β€” absolutely amazing in taste and texture, rich and comforting. The team also went the extra mile to celebrate my friend’s birthday with a complimentary tiramisu, which was a lovely gesture and tasted fantastic.

A special shoutout to ShannonπŸ€΅πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ, who made our evening even better with her friendly and attentive service. Overall, a great dining experience with authentic food, beautiful ambience, and warm hospitality. Highly recommended!🌟

My friends brought my girlfriend and I to Vittoria Trattoria earlier this summer before a night out and the upscale italian didn’t disappoint.
we started with the calamari fritti and everything from the presentation, to taste, to quality was fresh and crispy. I did not get a picture of it because we all ate it too fast πŸ€ͺ
my girlfriend had the smoked salmon and she said that the salmon was super well done and that the creamy sauce was the perfect pairing with the fish.
I had the chicken Parmigiano after reading all about it and it loved up to all of its good ratings. the portion was huge and the creamy pesto sauce was flavourful and went so well with the chicken parmesan.
my friend got the AllΓ‘ Nonna and her boyfriend got the recommend Alla Sophia and both of them were impressed with the taste, quality and overall dish as a whole.

One of my favourites and it has been years since I made it to this one.
Staff are friendly and attentive and helped with getting a plastic sheet for a rather precious photo from Comicon. This despite being slammed with the Friday night crowd.
Menu is lovely with a decent wine list. Mussels was a perfect starter and service staff sent more break to soak up the delicious sauce.
One of the special was a veal chop and it was the perfect portion
A recommendation for excellent menu and attentive staff
