   The Mother's Day brunch was great. It was a little disappointing that they ran out of the prime rib so early in the service but other than that, I was pleased with the offering. They were really accommodating when we were seated on the patio and requested to be moved because the sun was shining bright on our table. Thank you for moving us. The attention from the servers and management was excellent. The experience was very enjoyable.

   Had a great graduation celebration dinner. They held our reservation to accommodate the late hour of graduation. The food was delicious and the service was great. Highly recommend! Stuffed eggplant parm was the favorite!

   Limited menu for Graduation was awful. The pasta sauce was disgusting. Thick and was too sweet. Chicken parm had a burnt taste. Complained and the waitress ignored me. Way too expensive. Tiny pizza for my son due to the limited menu and they wouldn’t make a bigger one. Really awful place. Find something better.

   We are Easter brunch on Sunday. We made reservations late and had to sit outside. They had heaters on and did the best they could due to the unexpected cold weather. The food was awesome with so many food items to choose from. We hope to make this an annual event.

    I am in a wheelchair and the place was not really equipped for that. I was told next time to let them know. There was no way in the form to do that. Very overpriced and very crowded. Plates were like saucers making you havevtobreturn several times in that crowded space. Food was mediocre and definitely overpriced.

    We had a great date at Mom and Dad's! The ambiance is fantastic; live music and a fresh rose and candle at each table were highlights. Our server did very well at making us feel comfortable and answering any questions we had about the menu. The drinks we ordered were out very promptly and were delicious. We were a bit frustrated with the wait for the items that we ordered. We had a good time chatting and enjoying our drinks, but there were significant delays between the appetizer and main course. It did make us hungry again, which was a plus, but definitely plan on staying for a bit. Portion sizes were smaller than we expected for the price, but the food was delicious. Overall, it's a great spot to have a nice dinner for a date, birthday, or other social outing. The food is amazing, despite the long waits. As long as you budget your time accordingly, and don't mind your conversation partner, I would recommend it. Definitely try the drinks!

    First visit since they moved to the North end of town. The restaurant is lovely and large. The Staff was wonderful (Stephanie Tanner look alike sorry I dont remember her name.) On a random Wednesday night it took a while for the food to come to the table luckily we were not in a hurry. Ordered the fettuccini with shrimp and the chicken parmesan very good. Unfortunately I did not enjoy the lobster ravioli, either the pasta or the coating was much too thick for the slight lobster filling. Overall it was a nice experience.

    Alfredo, don't even think it's made with heavy cream, proably half and half and flour , or if any heavy cream, so latent with corn starch. Linguine clams- fresh water clams not middle necks, not fresh , frozen , and if they even used fresh clam juice it must of been days old, they probably used , a seafood base u buy . It's a facade- nice looking place, terrible excuse for Italian, then have been around so many years, I am sure they how to do it right, they are just trying to pay off the new fancy interior, and plaza lease. Just to bad.

    Overall, the food at Mom & Dad's was very good. My date had shrimp over fettuccini alfredo and I had veal marsala. We had water and italian margaritas to drink and they were very good. This is a very good option for italian food in Tallahassee.

    We normally love Mom & Dads. It is one of are go to places. BUT tonight was a big disappointment. The lobster ravioli was dry and chewy. I the the spaghetti a la buzzi and it was dry and disappointing. We spent $88 dollars and left unsatisfied. I hope next time is an improvement. Very Sad! ☹️

    Was in town for a football game — first in a long time — and decided to try to make the most out of a dreaded noon kickoff by ending the day with a good meal. So I dialed up open table and decided to see if Mim & Dad’s was still even around! I was very happy to see it was, and had availability … so I clicked on the reservation button and then clicked navigation … that’s when it got interesting. My Tallahassee experience was outdated, but I quickly realized I wasn’t headed to where I remembered Mom & Dad’s to be (in fact, I was pretty sure I was headed in exactly the wrong direction … but I pressed on.) Now, my father was in Tally when M&D opened in the early 60s and went with his parents … he took my mom there on occasion when they were students in the late 60s … my family likely didn’t eat there in the 70s … my first trip to my parents’ alma mater in the 80s included a stop … went to M&Ds when my parents or my gf’s parents were visiting when I was a student in the 90s … my last visit was likely early 2000s as an alum … Okay, back to the current trip … we arrived just before the restaurant opened, and I quickly assessed that the new M&D was more upscale … I sulked in and asked the staff if my family of 4 in our garnet and garish game gear would be completely inappropriate, and they assured me we were not likely to be alone in our dress. In short (eh, I guess I’m well past short!) we had a fantastic meal .. I had veal parm and the wife had a lasagne … I forget what the kids got, but they were quiet while the wife and I had a proper meal and a couple drinks, so it was a huge win! The red sauce was as great as I remembered: hearty, tasteful and just a touch of a freshness (herbs?) that I can’t put my finger on, but can’t get enough of. They say smells and tastes trigger the most vivid memories … and despite the little place on Parkway being a distant memory, this meal made my delayed return visit to Tally complete. Thanks Mom & Dads …

    First time dining experience. We’ve been to Delmonicos, Massies, and other nationally recognized Italian restaurants. Lived in Pordenone in the 90s. I came looking for their baked ziti. I learned of it due to their participation in a Halloween fundraiser. It’s quite good. Authentic. I haven’t tried their veal yet, but ambiance, staff, noise level and music was great. Ceaser salad was excellent. Croutons and bread were ok. If any improvements could be made, I’d say breads and cheeses. You should be making your own blue cheese dressing and breads could be improved. Fresh grated pecorino romano is a must. We enjoyed the restaurant and will return
