    Wonderful from start to finish! Our party of 5 had outdoor seating. Wine choices are plentiful and many great options. We enjoyed the delicious bread, calamari and a couple of salads for appetizers. Entrees were all so yummy and dessert was too. Our server, Rosie, provided excellent service and was very professional and courteous. This is a hidden gem that we absolutely love!!

    Very disappointed with waiting for almost an hour for our entrees to arrive. One appetizer and two servings of bread with a full bottle of wine later, we still did not have our entrees. May not come back for awhile. Nice to stay in communication with guests why the kitchen is taking so long. Monday night dinner, not crowded and there seemed to be plenty of staff. Not sure what was going on in the kitchen. No apologies from the server, either. Left a bad taste in our mouths.

    For the first time I had a pizza here. This was the best pizza I have ever had. We always ask Karen ( wine manager) for suggestions for a bottle of wine. She outdid herself on this one. You can see why they are close to celebrating their 28 years in business. Keep up the good work.

    Ordered appetizers & drinks 10 minutes after arriving. Wanted to wait to eat those to order meals. But waitress kept asking us for our order & it was taking too long. So we ordered dinner 40 minutes in. Appetizers took 50 minutes, Dinner took an hour after ordering it. Then I asked if it always took so long and waitress said they were short staffed : that the dishwasher was pitching in in the kitchen !! Lol - I thought that was a strange answer. Would have been smart to inform us of that in the beginning so we would have just ordered everything together to get it earlier. All in all, food was ok, not sure it was worth the wait. 4 of us got bolognese w/meatballs, rigatoni, chicken & fettuccine, & veal parm. No one overly excited about the meal. Not sure if it’s worth a trip back.

    We were so grateful they made accommodations for us even when they were pretty booked. The food was amazing and authentic and the family approach to taking care of people from the minute we walked was obvious from the Vaccaro family and the serving staff (thanks Elise). We will always find our time at Vaccaro’s worth the wait! Thanks for the special requests granted.

    Many kudos to the maître d' for acknowledging her mistake on our seating for the reservation and making the accommodation of a complementary cocktail and expediting getting the next best table ready. That speaks volumes for us, as much as the food and drink are top-notch. When the service matches the food and beverage, that's forever. We'll be back soon!

    Our dinner was wonderful. Best lasagna I’ve ever had. My husband got the angel hair and substituted the chicken with salmon. Only a $4 up charge. Girl who greeted us when we arrived was very friendly. When we left a bunch of employees at the front area said goodbye to us with a smile!My only gripe was we had to ask for bread(it was very good) and the Parmesan cheese. Thought these would be staples at an Italian restaurant. Also, no salt and pepper on the table. And their Sangria was very delicious All in all, a great experience!

    We ordered the Bruschetta tasting trio as an appetizer and split the Chicken Parm main course. The meal portions are large enough to share or have another meal later. The flavors are well paired and melt in your mouth delicious. The service was amazing. They also have a good selection of wine.
