    Always the best Italian in town. The oysters were a perfect way to start a great experience. Sara was wonderful and was the rest of the staff.

    This place is a favorite - it’s as simple as that. Fantastic food, ambiance, service & friendly staff. I gave it 4 out of 5 stars this time only b/c my Iozzo Salad was swimming in dressing, just a bit. But don’t let that stop you … it won’t stop me from returning soon!!

    Iozzo's is our favorite Italian trattoria. It's a drive for us, but worth it. We try to get there several times a year.

    IG is always sooo good! Great ambiance in this neighborhood gem. The wedding soup is light and wonderful as a starter. Or try the meatball martini.....their meatballs are amazing! Not in the mood for spaghetti & meatballs? Try the short rib ragu with farfalle pasta noodles. Delicious & quite filling....in a good way! I love it!
