Longobardi's Restaurant

Unfortunately, this restaurant is not super noticeable from the outside. However, thinking I could get pizza to go, I walked in. Inside, before the interior doors, I realized it was dine in only and was about to turn around and walk out, but someone came in behind me and I thought….why not and went inside. Took me a minute to be seated. It was a Tuesday and I entered around 6-6:30 pm. There were plenty of people already eating and more came and went the entire time I was there. The main dining area is quaint with good traditional Italian decor. I noticed they replace each table cloth when diners are finished (Ty!). Plenty of room inside as far as proximity to the next table. Carmello was my waiter and he was most professional, personable and attentive. The rest of the staff was quick to respond to any requests and take finished plates away from the table immediately (which I love). Fresh bread and butter was placed on the table shortly after I settled in. For appetizers I ordered Mozzarella with Roasted Peppers as well as Chopped Bake Clams. Those came out in about 10 minutes. Portions were apt and I finished both plates off like a champion food eater. Both absolutely delicious! For the entree I decided to get the Shrimp Scampi which came with a soup or salad (I chose salad) and a vegetable side (I chose spinach). I also finished the salad and the shrimp, but couldn’t get all the spinach down. Shrimp, cooked perfectly was juicy and robust. Melted in my mouth. It’s so refreshing to finally find a restaurant that knows how to do everything right!!! When I sat down I was a little price oriented (and the menu might be considered pricey) but as I started eating the food that was cooked to absolute perfection, I began not caring at all how much it was all going to be! Excellent chefs and flavorful dishes will have me coming back for more! This was my first time, but the restaurant as I found out has been there for a very long time. They boast a great Happy Hour at the bar inside as well as a good size party room to accommodate plenty at one time. I’m not easily impressed…but I was overly impressed by this beautiful place that is my new favorite Traditional Italian Restaurant, with traditional Italian dishes!

I came in tonight for dinner. Sat at the bar and was completely ignored and wasn’t asked if I wanted a drink or a menu or anything. Bar tender came in poured a beer for the guy next to me and just walked past. Absolutely no excuse for that type of non service. I left and not coming back to them. It’s not the first time either.

Great service, I had turkey dinner for entree. Bread with a sauce was good. Guinness good. Service great. Was there for a private event.

Longobardi’s came recommended from locals who suggested a good Italian dinner. This restaurant did not disappoint. I was warmly greeted and served with water and bread to start. I elected to have the veal Parmesan at the suggestion of the server. It came with a choice of soup or salad and vegetables. I chose the minestrone and the greens. My meal was devine. The broccoli was cooked to perfection with garlic, while my two wholesome pieces of veal were sublime. I couldn’t fit dessert in but I definitely would have tried if there was room. I would highly recommend and return.

Wow what an amazing authentic Italian place ! I felt like I was eating back in my homeland. The food, the staff, and the wine are all off the hook amazing!!!
