We had my mom’s 80th Birthday here.. The service was impeccable from start to finish. Veto our waiter was so attentive. Never had to ask for anything he was always there.. The food from the burrata and baked clams to the skirt steak and pasta were all delicious. Generous portions too.. Rachel made planning our party effortless. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I would recommend having a party here to anyone. Thank you again to all the staff. You guys made my mom’s day very special.
They recently opened. Used to be a pizzeria only before. Menu has a lot of choices. Pizza was made fresh in front of us and tasted really good.
My recent experience hosting a large family event there was nothing short of spectacular, and I'm already dreaming about going back. This is more than just a restaurant; it's a place where exceptional food meets heartfelt hospitality, creating a feeling of genuine comfort and family. We booked a dinner for 21 people, and from the very first moment, the team was incredible. What truly blew me away was their flexibility: within the same week of our event, we needed to add a few more people, and they accommodated us without a single moment of hesitation. That level of can-do service immediately set a wonderful tone. For our gathering, we opted for the Family Style dinner, and let me tell you, it was a decision that resulted in a feast! The meal consisted of 8 or 9 different dishes, and the food was not just plentiful—it was beyond amazing. Every dish, from appetizers to entrées, was fresh, flavorful, and tasted like a genuine homemade Italian masterpiece. Seriously, you will leave feeling incredibly satisfied and full! ⭐ The service we received elevated the entire evening. Our server, Iliana, was an absolute star! She was extremely accommodating and wonderfully attentive to the wants and needs of all 21 people at our table. She handled the large party with grace and a constant smile. And then there was Santo. He checked in with our party throughout the entire evening, and he truly went above and beyond to make us feel like we were part of their family. The level of hospitality here is truly A1! Despite never having been to Patrizia's before booking this large party, I can confidently say that I would definitely recommend it to anyone! • Hosting a gathering? They handle large groups effortlessly. • Looking for a cozy, one-on-one date night? Their delicious food and warm atmosphere are perfect. The food is delicious, the environment is comforting, and the service from people like Iliana and Santo is what truly makes Patrizia's shine. Thank you so much, Iliana, Santo, and the entire Patrizia's Team, for making our family event so perfect and memorable!
Called in a pickup order for three pizzas. Staff was knowledgeable, fast and kind on the phone. Pizza was ready quickly when I arrived. Staff was friendly in person, too! Note, the pizza pickup is conveniently located in its own section with entrance next to the restaurant. We enjoyed a plain pizza, white pizza with fresh garlic and a sausage pizza. Sauce was perfect. Crust crisp. Great amount of toppings. Everything was a hit at our Christmas get together! Hot, delicious, fresh and gone before I could get a picture! Will be returning to enjoy a meal in the restaurant! Thank you! ON TO THE NEXT VENTURE!
Celebrated my mother’s birthday dinner here and it exceeded our expectations! The service was excellent. I have small kids and the staff was so patience with us throughout the night! We were able to customize our orders according to our preferences. The food was fresh, full of flavor, and the portion sizes were enough for lunch the next day. I’m sure we will be visiting again soon!
Another great meal at Patrizias. Vito, our waiter was superb. All the food was super fresh. Great presentation and flavorful. Desserts are excellent as well. They have a full bar menu as well. We will, of course be back. Cold Antipasto for 2 Stuffed pork chop over parpadelle Chicken rollatini over polenta Pistachio bomba/tartufo Specialty seasonal cocktails
I was here tonight to celebrate my in-laws anniversary! I'm so glad that we choose this fantastic restaurant! The food is authentic Italian thats amazing, and the service can't be beat! For all the people we had and all the food we ate.. WOW...super reasonably priced as well! Not that it matters because for a place like this I would have expected to pay double! The owner came over multiple times to make sure everything was good....I really can't say enough good things about Patrizia's! You must go and experience it for yourself!
