Great upscale dining. Valet, hostess and staff are all friendly and welcoming. Food is excellent. We had a “throwback menu” for June 2025 that was perfect. I highly recommend going in June.

This was the best meal we’ve had in years! It was just as good as I remember. The food was delicious and the service was superb Paradise was our server… she was friendly, attentive and a joy all around! When we go back, we’ll request that she serves our table. The ambience at Lelli’s is lovely. It is very pretty and has old school charm. Great for a special occasion or just because you want a great Italian meal.

Expecting a great evening with fine food, drinks and service, we were very disappointed with the food and service. Our wait staff was very slow and the food so-so or what you might expect from pub food. Steaks blah and the zip sauce with no zip. Our neighbor dinners left after waiting three hours for their food. Another waitress noticed our dilemma after waiting 20 minutes for our bill and assisted us with that. We made a complaint to the manager and he sent a $35.00 gift certificate as compensation on a $450.00 bill. We threw the certificate away. We will never return. It appears the glory days of Lellies is over. So goodbye.

Great waitstaff! Overpriced for what was on the menu. The furnishings are quite old and needs some TLC.
