    Tuscan Ravioli was excellent as was the swordfish special. The appetizers were good and came out quickly. The server, Fran, made great recommendations for food and wine and would come back just to sit at her tables!

    My boyfriend and my friends went here tonight for dinner. The food was great. The service was horrible. My boyfriend try to order a chicken finger dinner. The waitress judge him said it’s for kids you can do that. The manger said you have chicken fingers. Our drinks took forever she wants to make sure the other tables got their drinks quick. She mess up my boyfriend’s food. Gave us a horrible attitude when we said something about it. We were leaving she follow us out the door because her tip wasn’t good for her. “She said we didn’t charge you for all the refills.” When we spoke to the manager she said we don’t charge refills. Who follows a customer out the door and acts so rude. It was very unprofessional. We will go there again but make sure we don’t get that waitress.

    What a great day! First time we ate out for Thanksgiving. We got food from regular menu (which we know quite well) but the turkey dinner looked fabulous and I heard other guests saying it was delicious. The service was perfect. From the greeter at the door to when we left. They were organized and well prepared for a crowd. The drinks were also on point. I’m so glad we chose here for our first Thanksgiving out. What a great experience.

    Gaetano’s is a solid restaurant with very good food, big portions and excellent service. We went on a Saturday night and it was packed, which is a good sign, but that made it harder to hear the people sitting across from us. We started with a Caesar salad (outstanding) and garlic bread (so-so). Then had chicken piccata, eggplant parmigiana, lamb shank and filet mignon. Everyone was happy with their dinner. We then finished with chocolate cake and cannoli. Everything was fresh, delicious and reasonably priced.

    We have recently visited Gaetano's on several occasions One was a anniversary celebration attended by 34 people. Our waitress Stephanie provided excellent service. Appetizers of stuffed mushrooms, shrimp cocktail, and cheese and crackers were good. We had a choice of baked haddock, chicken parm, and veal marsala. Portions were large portions and very good. Meals were delivered timely and hot! Overall our event was a success thanks to Gaetanos!

    The service was outstanding! The food was awesome....so flavorful! The atmosphere was great! The game was on so that sparked interaction with other guests. It was my husband's birthday. They allowed us to bring in our own cake. When we sang Happy Birthday, the other guests sang with us! All around enjoyable evening!!!

    The filets we ordered had to be the toughest I’ve ever had. They extremely chewy. I can’t imagine that we’re actually filet mignon. I should have known never to order steak at an Italian restaurant. However, the appetiser was good as well as the dessert.
