Every each we go to Lombardos for a pre Christmas lunch. Each year, we walk away delighted by our experience. Lombardos never disappoints. We always make a reservation here to celebrate big occasions, such as our wedding anniversary. We are treated like family. Every dish is delicious. And that is coming from an Italian who usually doesn’t care for a Bolognase sauce made in restaurants. Be sure to try Lombardos. It will quickly become a favorite.

I had excellent food, but I was not too enthralled about my husbands choices, which I tasted. At least HE liked them (it was his birthday!). The wait staff was excellent, eager to seat us, refill our water glasses and coffee cups, and had assistance from other wait staff in bringing our food to us. They even gave my husband a birthday card signed by all of the staff. When my husband misplaced the card originally left at our table, the hostess made up a new one. This made for a most memorable dining experience!

This is the one place in town where you can get all the essentials needed to be a truly great Italian restaurant. Those items include: espresso, gelato, and biscotti. Even more important is good veal, and a deep wine list. Restaurants that do not have these things are called pizzarias. On this occasion, we went for lunch on Friday. Wonderfully varied menu, and excellent service.
