   Loud jazz pianist not conducive for this dining venue. This very good Italian restaurant needs soft Italian dinner music.

   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 My Tallahassee experience was outdated, but I quickly realized I wasn’t headed to where I remembered Mom & Dad’s to be (in fact, I was pretty sure I was headed in exactly the wrong direction … but I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

    The lasagna was unlike anything I’ve ever seen. There was no cheese on top - just the ground beef and 1/2 inch of grease. The noodles rimmed the metal baking dish it was served in and what little cheese the dish had was on the bottom. Uneatable. My wife’s linguine and clams was tasteless. We won’t be back

    So disappointed. 2 of us ordered, and sent back, the veal parmesan. It was the toughest meat we've encountered. Couldn't cut it with a knife. It was also cold and the cheese baked on top was hard. Inedible.

    We had 7:30 reservations, arrived on time. We were told we had to order by 8 as the kitchen closes, we were shown our seats and ignored for 30 minutes. When we finally got our order in and food came the food was mediocre at best. Service could not have been worse .

    We have been going to mom and dad‘s Italian restaurant for decades now. First one that we went to was on Apalachee Parkway in Tallahassee. Over the years I’m sure the chefs have changed. I’m not sure about the recipes there have been times when the food was not up to par, and then times when it was outstanding. I guess that’s to be expected in that business. Our current visit was not quite up to par. But we will go back, it’s a tradition.

    We have been to Mom and Dad’s many times before and it was wonderful, but this visit for my husband’s birthday was just average. The service was not at the level of their norm and the food was good but not like the raving, fantastic we’ve had before.

    Mom and Dad's never disappoints. We had the veal parmesan and the chicken parmesan. Ask them to cook your chicken parmesan old school and they will deep fry it. We paired it with Copala's Director's Cut Cabernet Sauvignon. Touchdown!
