RALPH 'N' RICH'S REVIEWS

First time here- the food was great! The linguine with clams stole my heart and the chicken parm and steak was delicious too. Traditional Italian fare and a great place to bring your parents or grandparents. This place is nicer in real life than in the photos we saw online. Suggestion: The booths were a little tight and some updating might be worth it to add some warmth (dim lighting, replacing of floors, adding warm tabletop lighting or more bistro lights to outdoor area).

We had an amazing late lunch today. It was our first time here and we were excited to try the “Sunday Sauce”. I grew up visiting family in the Bronx for Sunday gravy. For our family it was an all day feast that included “gravy” tomato sauce cooked with varies meats like meatballs, ribs, braciole and sausage. This meal took me back in time. It was perfect, both delicious and a great value. Photos are of all four courses. I hope they always offer this traditional Italian Sunday meal.

Wonderful dining experience. Lovely staff and service. Food was excellent.

THE ORIGINAL VAZZY'S REVIEWS

I've been coming to Vazzy's since I was little girl. It's always been a gathering place for family, phenomenal food and incomparable value. Pauline is the absolute best bartender. She always makes everyone feel welcome. Hospitality is the industry and the staff at Vazzy's understands the assignment. I look forward to visiting every week to get my Seafood sautée fix and say hi to the fam.

Everything about Vazzys is amazing. I just dined here on 12/15 and each time is just as good as the last. You can really appreciate their consistency over the years. There is a bar area which is fun and easy to just come in for a drink. There is also the dining side that has families enjoying well sized meals. The drinks are delicious. Everything on menu very good.

We had a group of over 30 guys stop by for dinner last Friday. It was a great experience! Good food, good service and the hospitality was top notch. Would definitely recommend and we plan on going again.

TRATTORIA 'A VUCCHELLA & WOOD OVEN PIZZA REVIEWS

Wow! What an amazing experience all around! From service to food everything exceeded our expectations! We were unsure of what to start with so the chef came out offered a few suggestions and made us a selection of appetizers to start which were out of this world. He then came back out an offered a few suggestions for family style entree so we could experience a little bit of everything. You could really tell how much they love and enjoy food and entertaining guests. We can't wait to go back.

Some of the BEST food we've eaten outside of Italy. Homemade pasts and sauce is OUTSTANDING. Homemade Lemon Chello with Lemons imported from Sorrento was the icing on the cake. -And, that reminds me, the dessert! Goodness.

My friends and I visited today. We tried nine different items from the menu, and every single dish was amazing. Excellent service and great atmosphere. The owner served us personally, and he couldn't be nicer. We'll be going back soon.
