Randazzo

So lucky to have stumbled upon it on a dreary day visiting from out of state. I'm a bona fide pizza snob and this was some of the best I've had... EVER!!

I have been eating at Randazzo's for at least 20 years and the food is always exceptional. I've tried most of what is on their menu and the food is just amazing as is the atmosphere and the friendliness of the owner. I recommend Randazzo's 101 percent and give it a 5-star rating.

Just an outstanding mainly red sauce demure and very clean Italian restaurant. Just a little off the beaten track, but a quick swing off of Summit Avenue. For a little extra variety, check out the weekly specials posted on the website. The owning family is exceptionally personable and they take a considerable interest in making sure that the guests are satisfied. They know all of their regular guests, and address them by name with a big welcome. The waiters are very professional and all service is attentive and appropriate. Parking can be problematic, albeit a few circles around the block with patience or a nearby lurking wait can typically be rewarded within ten minutes. We always love the chicken parm and the eggplant parm, along with the large salad and pasta side. We also like the mussels fra diablo appetizer and the Chicken Murphy. The pizza is a little on the cheesy (extra cheese) for us; we like to order "light on the cheese." But the cheese is good quality. The sauce on the entrees is always sufficient and plenty, and the tomato red sauce we order has a good texture and taste with small chunks of tomatoes. The food is appropriately spiced. Takeout is an option; a television is nearby so that the waiting time can be more interesting. There is never an inappropriate amount of sound. Diners can talk and be heard. This is clearly not a disco, and appropriately so. Pricing is decent, albeit like everything else it has increased somewhat over the many years we have visited. A menu with pricing options is available on-line at the restaurant's website. I would say that the pricing is slightly on the high side for the type of food provided, but well within reason. The portions are generous and can give you two meals, generally speaking. Families do visit, with children, and for those families that is excellent. But this is not a place for a romantic date. it is not, however, Chuckie Cheese - the kids tend to be well disciplined and appropriate for the surroundings. All in all, five stars for this and consistently for the twenty years we have dined here. Highly recommended.

Great pizza and Italian classics

I stumbled upon this place with my two coworkers on a Thursday afternoon after work. The friendly waiter gave us a booth and opened our wine in no time. The chicken francese is out of this world and it comes with a salad and a side of pasta. The fried calamari was also just right, very crispy and good. My co workers enjoyed their chicken dishes also as I took a bite. The ambiance is so relaxing as it is a family ran business. I will be back soon.
