My first visit here but definitely will not be my last! Our waiter was phenomenal, so friendly and attentive. He knows the menu well and made some great recommendations. The food was delicious! I had the eggplant Napoli and the salad with the house dressing. I would purchase this dressing if they sold it! Also, the sangria was light and tasty. My favorite thing was the mud pie dessert! The portions were huge. Everyone in our party of 8 took home leftovers!

The food was excellent. Everything was served hot. They have a special for $25 that has a half appetizer, soup or salad and a full size entree. They were busy and the service was slow. The servers were really hustling. They do put a 20% service charge for parties 6 or more. With the prices today, we like to do couples checks. We don't have to worry about someone covering our expensive dish or extra drink. Most places today, offer this, they don't. I had made arrangements for that ahead of time and when we got there the server said we don't do that. In the age of computers, there is no excuse not to offer this.

I'm very busy today but wanted to take a moment to leave a review before I forget. Yesterday my family and I dined out at Pat's Italian restaurant again. It was a very busy night. We finally sat down (we didn't make reservations- note to self for next time) and I can clearly see the waitress was very busy but we got our water, menu and bread pretty quickly. Linda took a quick moment to let us know she's a little busy so it will be awhile but she will get to us as soon as she can. I appreciated that very much, she let us know she's present and we're not left wondering who's going to be waiting on us. Throughout the night, we see Linda bouncing from table to table tending to everyone's need with a smile. I can clearly see how much of a workload she has , yet she maintained solid service. When things settled down a little I took the time to let her know I appreciate her. She said she has been doing this for 42 years and she does not like delivering bad service. The spot that she waited on was far from the kitchen yet she moved incredibly fast with a high awareness of her customers and their needs. My tea and honey was empty and without asking she got me another one shortly after I finished it. I completely appreciated her. The food at Pat's is very good. I love their soup and my personal favorite is their homemade house pasta. The texture is on point and it compliments with the sauce perfectly. This is definitely my favorite Italian restaurant. We live in CT but driving here for the food is worth it.

My wife and I have been going almost once a week to Pat's for the past 3 years. Simply the best Italian Restaurant for me. Love the sauce and the veal parm is "THE BEST". If I do go to another Italian Restaurant i don't order Veal Parm because I don't want to be disappointed. Brian the bar tender where we typically eat is the best and a clean freak.

We went here for my birthday with family and it really exceeded my expectations. They have 3 rooms. The left is a bar area, a middle room and the room on the right has larger tables for big parties. They could use a little more decor, but it was still cozy. I had the garden salad with blue cheese, chicken piccatta and spaghetti. The others in our party also had chicken piccatta and gnocchi. The food was excellent as was the service. The server was very attentive and she and a bus girl promptly cleared dirty dishes. They have a parking lot which is ample and I would recommend making a reservation especially on a Saturday night because when we left at about 7pm it was mobbed! Highly recommended! Take it from an Italian who's family was in the restaurant business, the food was perfect. We'll be back!

Have liked this restaurant for years! Excellent Italian food. Excellent service and nice ambiance. Forgot to take photos. There were 4 of us and a toddler. Had a very cozy booth. Made reservations well in advance and they checked back with me a couple of days in advance. Servings were very large so we had plenty of leftovers.

We had a gift card for this restaurant and decided to use it tonight. Wow! We were so impressed with the food. Everything we tried was tasty and the portions were large. They even offer a dinner for 2 for $50 - an app to share, two soups/salads and two entrees - which made our first visit there a great value. Our server was very friendly and made some great reconnections on what to try. We look forward to returning to this wonderful neighborhood spot

This restaurant has been on my bucket list and I was finally able to experience it. The service was great, I had a party of 5 on a very busy Saturday/holiday weekend and they were able to accommodate my family within 5mins of calling. They pulled a table aside and made sure it was set on time, even with a kids cup ready to go. We ordered several apps: Cheesy Garlic Bread, Calamari, and Mozzarella Triangles. The mozzarella triangles were the best out of the 3 apps ordered. The Cheesy Garlic bread could use some more cheese. I also got a chicken soup and Caesar salad on the side. The pasta in the chicken soup was a bit mushy but had good flavor. The Caesar salad dressing wasn't very flavorful, pretty basic but the lettuce was crispy. My family ordered the Christine, Bolognese, and chicken parm with pink vodka. All of the entrees were the shining stars and absolutely delicious. Very big portions! This is a great family style restaurant with plenty of seating. The restaurant was very dark inside but had a cozy feel. Parking was also very easy.
