    We went here the night before our vacation. I had gone there as a teen and wanted to see if it was as good as I remembered. 50 years later it is still great old style Italian food. We enjoyed everything we had. Eggplant parm, sartade spinach with garlic. Yummy!

    We had a wonderful experience at Bertolucci's . The food was delicious and authentic to my family's recipes. At any moment I expected Frank Sinatra or Dean Martin to walk through and grab a table. I call it old school Italian and a great experience to share with friends.

    We arrived at Bertolucci's for our 6:30pm reservation. When we told the host that we had a reservation, the host seemed confused. She spoke to a waiter and informed us that they didn't have a table available. She said that we could sit in the lounge and gave us no estimate on the dining room. Why make a reservation if there isn't a table reserved? It was a little odd, but we were hungry and said ok. The lounge area only had one waiter for about 10 tables. The poor man was running around all night and we ended up waiting forever to place an order and receive our food. Overall, it was a poor service experience. The food was good though.

    This is the second time I've dined there, first with my wife and most recently with a high school friend. The food and service have been great both times!

    The meal was great! I had the chicken special which was amazing. It was moist and tender stuffed with ham and cheese with a delicious tomato and mushroom sauce. My husband had the rib eye which was cooked perfectly and my friends both had the fettuccini sotto Mare--they also really enjoyed their dish. The martini's were good--One did it for me! I would highly recommend this restaurant. The service was great and we loved our large booth.
