Roberto's Ristorante & Pizzeria

This charming family owned restaurant, offers a cozy, setting and true Italian hospitality. The family comes from Sicily and have brought with them many of the recipes and their love for hospitality and food. The restaurant also has two party rooms available for larger events. Today I celebrated my 25th wedding anniversary with my family. Could not have picked a better place for atmosphere food and service.

Outstanding! I don't give 5 stars very often, but this place deserves the rank. Let me start with the antepasto della casa appetizer, a beautiful plate of assorted salami's, cheeses and olives! Perfect beginnings! The hot homemade bread was outstanding! They have an extensive wine list plus a full bar. They offer both inside and outside seating, a wonderful area to sit back, relax and enjoy the weather! I love Italian food and eat lasagna at each place. I have to say, this was probably the best lasagna I've ever had! The pasta was cooked to perfection. The sauce was fabulous! The perfect combination of tomato, garlic, salt, and basil. The sauce was meat based with the perfect amount of ricotta and cheese. The portion was large and the prices were reasonable! I will add this to my list of best places to eat!

Went in for a Christmas eve dinner. Happy I moved up our reservations. The place was packed! Service was running slow that night, but our server John gave us the heads up and checked in on us frequently. Fried calamari was great and came out fast. Then we waited for another 45 min for our meals. The bar area was packed with waiting customers for tables. Manager and hosts were visibly dealing with angry people waiting. A time limit on tables could have helped with all of that. We left right after we ate, but many other tables around us were hanging out after paying up. Unfortunately, later that night I got sick from the massive amount of garlic in my pasta dish. Not a good way to end Christmas Eve. Maybe we'll try again on a less crowded night.

TLDR: we liked 3 of the 4 dishes we had, components of one of the dishes we liked was missing. It was nearly impossible to flag down our waiter, the table was pretty cramped. However when we brought up a concern, the restaurant quickly corrected it so we left on a great note. And the sauce on the steak is probably one of the best sauces I've had. Long version: We were excited to finally come try this place, made reservations in advance and came in 5 minutes prior our reservation. No issues with parking, and we got seated promptly. Our server recommended the Misto griglia and listed the night's special, one in which we ordered. We also ordered one more pasta dish and planned to order the chocolate souffle. This is how it went. 9/10 Misto Griglia, did not disappoint at all, the dish was fresh and got us excited for the upcoming main courses 2/10 Spaghetti Carbonara Traditionale, I felt it was severely underseasoned and had a lumpy texture which did not sit right with me. 7/10 the night's special, Filet mignon with 2 Jumbo shrimps, mashed potatoes and asparagus. The plate we got was just the steak and potatoes, sauce and asparagus on a separate plate. Granted the sauce was divine and I wanted to just order the sauce home, but given that we were very excited for the Jumbo Shrimps - we were disappointed it was missing. We tried to flag our server who was really hard to catch, but at the end we got the shrimp when we were nearly done with the meal. We were told the cooks were new that night. 8/10 The Chocolate Souffle, was very good. We were not surprised as we were recommended to try it. We would just recommend anyone wanting to try it order it 20 minutes in advance, since there will be some cook time. It was a little too sweet, but great nonetheless. The management fixed the carbonara issue and we did get our shrimp, so the night ended on a great note.

This is a very popular place! Make sure you make reservations! Started out with bruschetta with fresh mozzarella. So delicious! I had chicken marsala, my husband pizza, and another had chicken piccatta. They serve 2 nice pieces of chicken breast with mini potatoes. The mushroom sauce had a very good flavor. I ordered a side of grilled vegetables-zuccini, squash, red and yellow peppers. I really liked that! I tried the piccatta and also delicious! My husband rated the pizza very high. He likes it crispy, and the ingredients were fresh. This is quality food and a high-end restaurant. The only thing I didn't like was the chaotic atmosphere. I didn't feel relaxed. Between every table being taken, a baby screaming, it was tough to relax. It's a tight fit in there. Parking in the rear, be ready to walk around the whole building, or walk through a grassy hilly area. Parking in front, on the street, or a parking lot across the street may be a better option. Would be nice to enter from the back, but they don't have that setup. Solid food and an overall nice place.

I am getting older and maybe a little less tolerant of noisy restaurants with children flying about. The bar at Roberto's is one of my favorite places for a quiet conversation. Hana is a superb bartender and very cordial. The food is fresh and well prepared. For occasions that require a table, the wait staff is personable. Takeout is good too, so Roberto's has all the bases covered.
