   Waiter was very attentive and friendly and the food was well prepared and served hot with a generous portion. The menu provides a wide option of selections from appetizers, salads pastas entrees that range from assorted meats to fish dishes. I would definitely return again.

   Service was not great, food was not good at all. My friend sent back his pasta dish, said it was awful. He’s in the food business & rarely sends back anything nor complains The tomato or marinara sauce on my chicken dish had so much pepper. It was not tasty at all.

   My wife and I have been meaning to eat here for quite sometime and last night finally did. The restaurant has a real neighborhood vibe and the menu was quite expansive with plenty of great choices. I started with the meatballs and sausage in a red sauce. If you judge an Italian restaurant on its red sauce then you would give this restaurant 5 stars just off their red sauce. My main was the chicken scarpariello. Delicious, well seasoned and plentiful. Plenty of leftovers. My wife had grandma’s lasagna and felt it was one of the best she ever had. For dessert we split the zeppoles which were perfectly dense and not overly fried. Our server Santiago, also the manager, was pleasant and never missed a beat with a very efficient dinner. We will definitely be going here on a regular in the future.

   I took my Goddaughter to Eric's Italian Bistro for lunch to celebrate her birthday and it was a fantastic experience. The food was excellent (large salads to start) and the seafood entrees were DELICIOUS!! And to finalize the meal, they sent over a selection of dessert treats with a fiery candle to celebrate the occasion. And I must admit, they have the best lemon drops I've had in a long time. Special thanks to Santiago and George for helping make this a perfect birthday celebration.

   ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Scott was amazing! The service was top-notch, and the food was absolutely delicious. We had the Fresh Mozzarella & Tomato, Traditional Caesar Salad, Grandma’s Lasagna, and Chicken Parm—everything was perfect. The restaurant looked beautiful, decorated with hearts everywhere for Valentine’s Day, creating a warm and festive atmosphere. Highly recommend!

   Never left a review before but had to on this place. Waited 40 mins after being seated to have a drink order taken, didn’t get water/bread after 20 minutes to point we had to ask for it. I understood restaurants are under a lot of pressure especially on Friday nights I completely get that but to not even be acknowledged with “Hey I see you I will be with asap” that would have been fine. Instead nothing. Food was good but service will make me never go back.

   Valentine's Day meal - I started with a sweetheart cosmo (raspberry). We had a large choice of starters and entrees - salad, soup, clams, lobster ravioli, etc; fish, chicken, pasta, steak. Dessert sampler at the end. I asked to taste the cabernet and decided I liked it so ordered that. The bartender helped me choose. The restaurant is decorated with hearts, bows, and lots of red. It became quite busy but the service was well done and the food was delicious. On the way out, I was given a rose and there was a bowl of Lindt's chocolates to choose. Eric's is family owned and everyone does their best and we always feel welcomed and enjoy the meal.

    The food incredible but our server Santiago was even better. He was attentive and caring. He went above and beyond to recognize my wife’s birthday. This is the second time and both times were excellent.
