“ I ALWAYS come here ! Lunch specials are so cheap for a massive plate of food. Anniversaries , birthdays , just a meal after church. Pallotta's is great everytime ”
“ The food is very good! Last time I was there the service was slow but I think they were short staffed because even the managers were helping. I would still go back because the food is so good! ”
“ The food and service are always good! Happy Hour is great there too! I would recommend this place for anyone who loves Italian! ”
“ They were kind enough to send me 10$ for joining their loyalty club. Gracias. First trip I had pasta Benjamin and it was great. Spicy! Wasn't sure all that spice and Italian sausage and shrooms etc was gonna go together but it was a delightful blend. Went back for lunch. Haven't tried the Greek pizza yet but I see supper in the making. The lasagna was a solid performer and the lemon shrimp pasta was my favorite so far. It was less complex than the Benjamin but it was more citrusy and that did it for me. I'll be back soon. ”
“ Great restaurant, good service ! We love the food. We tried Chicken Saulscito and pasta pavia both really good and cooked well. No complaints ”
“ We decided to come to the Tuesday kids eat free night and it didn't disappoint! Our server Kristina was more than accommodating and sweet. She took such good care of us even though my two year old couldn't sit still. Service was wonderful and food was delicious!! The Benjamin was her suggestion and it was amazing and had a nice kick of spice! We can't wait to come back. The happy hour is very good including the HH bites. ”
“ We arrived at Pallotta's just about right-on-time and were shown to a table in the corner while we waited for our friends. Sicily is our Server and she informed us that Phil is unable to be there that night. Shortly Earl & Mary Ann arrived and we all placed our drink order. Bourbon & Diet Cokes for us and Wine for our friends. We looked over Pallotta's extensive menu trying to decide what to order - but I already know what I want - will tell you late. My Wife and I are starting off from their "Before the Pasta" Menu, the "La Chac La Bread" (La Chay-Kla) 'Italian Flat Bread'; Honey Sweet Dough, Basil Pesto, Cracked Black Pepper, Garlic, Marie Cheese, Mozzarella, Spicy Italian Sausage Crumbles, Oven Baked. Served with Oils & Spices. We ordered this and Earl ordered one. This is my Wife's and my 'Most Favorite' of all. Earl also ordered the "Italian Lollipops"; Mini-Meatballs on Pasta Sticks with Tomato Sauce & ribboned with Pavia Sauce. Served with Garlic Bread. Mary Ann ordered the Happy Hour Pizza with Cheese & Mushrooms. My Wife went with a bowl "Cream of Tomato Basil Soup"; Cream, Tomatoes, Basil Pesto, Chicken Broth, topped with Croutons & Marie Cheese. I am having a cup of this Soup with my meal, which is Pallotta's Feature of the Month - "Italian Style Meatloaf"; Delicious Blend of Ground Beef & Italian Seasoning, blend of Cheese, seasoned Bread Crumbs & chopped Onions, all mixed together. Topped with Tomato Sauce, Melted Mozzarella Cheese, Oregano & Oven Baked. Served Garlic Bread and choices, Veggie or Pasta, I chose Pasta. While we waited for our food Sicily brought out their Bread Basket. This is served warm and ready and is Sooooooo Delicious. When my Creamy Tomato Basil Soup arrived I dipped some Bread in it - it's a Tradition that you must try. The Bread has a light crunch on the outside and Very Freshlylicious on the inside. This is also the Best Creamy Tomato Basil Soup in the World. My Wife and I LoVe this - it's Extra Creamliciousness and full of flavor. Soon after we finished, our main courses arrived and it all is a Beautiful Presentation of Italianliciousness. At this point, Sicily earned the "Dollar-Bow-Tie" Award for already going 'above-&-beyond' the norm. I also gave her one for Cheyenne and Phil. Shortly after Cheyenne came over to our table and we chatted for a while. We have known her before she came to Pallotta's and she is one Hard Worker and does whatever she can. It was great seeing her again and we wish Phil was able to be there that night. The 'Italian Lollipops' are uniquely presented and Earl LoVeD them. Mary Ann enjoyed her Pizza and all of us said that the 'La Chac La Bread' is the Most Awesomest 'appetizer' or 'before-the-pasta' you could ever have. The Oils & Spices is like added dessert to the toppings and is the 'Bestest-Flavor'. The Sweet Dough with all the ingredients (and there is a lot of ingredients) Tops-the-List. Now for my "Italian Style Meatloaf". I LoVe MeAtLoAf and I might add, make a really good one. Pallotta's is the Best you can get ANYWHERE - I Guarantee it. The Presentation is Spot-On and it is Soooooo Beautiful you debate on eating it at all - you just want to admire the Creativeness. But I ate it - all of it. I did provide a bite for my Wife and she LoVeD it. This is Very Tastylicious and full of Flavor that can't be beat - and it does have a little Spiciness to every bite. Love the Pasta and Sauce - it's Very Creamy and Licious. Pallotta's Garlic Bread is long wedges of heavenly Garlicness - Vampires are missing out on this one. Now it's time for Dessert - and we know what that's going to be. Pallotta's makes the Best Dessert in the World, their "Dominics Mud"; Made for sharing, Pallotta's Specialty - Four Layers of Mocha Almond Fudge Ice Cream, Chunks of Butter Finger Candy Bar between each layer, Hot Fudge & Peanut Butter drizzled throughout the whole thing with a Nutter Butter & Oreo Cookie Crust. Available in Full & Half Sizes. We chose Half Size for the 4 of us - it's that BIG. Soon Sicily brought it out and this is also a thing of Beauty. Pallotta's 'Drizzles' to Perfection. We also have extra plates for this and we cut 'Dominic' into fourths. It became real quiet at our table and all you could hear was the drooling and mmmmmmmmm - it's that good. It is also Creamy with a Crunch and RichlyFlavorful in every bite. This is also a Must when at Pallotta's. After we finished, we rested our tummies for a while and chatted about everything we could think of. It's great getting together with Friends at one of your Favorite Restaurants. We missed seeing Phil and hopefully the next time we will be able to chat with him. Pallotta's has a Very Large Menu and also a Special Lunch Menu for a very reasonable amount and a lot of licious-food. ”
“ My family has celebrated many occasions here over the years and we continue to come back because of the great service and amazing food, so when we scheduled our Christmas dinner there this year, we thought it was going to be easy breezy just like all of the previous times we have visited. Upon arriving, the manager on duty must not have been made aware of our large group reservation and we got a little push back, but the staff came through and made our visit better throughout the night. Our waitress was on top of our large group and really did an amazing job. The food was wonderful, as usual, and we all left with full bellies and smiles on our face! The back room area really is ideal for large parties, but just make sure that the manager on duty, the day of your party is aware of your reservation, just to avoid any hiccups. ”
“ First time at Pallotta, and it won't be my last. Visited last Saturday after placing my order online. I ordered 3 things, a pizza bowl (where you can add any 3 toppings that you want), a kids chicken strips with fries, and the Number 84 pasta. First off the pizza bowl, I added pepperoni, red, green, yellow bell peppers, and artichoke hearts. Surprisingly, it was a really good combination of flavors in a bowl. The bowl looked a bit oily. Maybe it's because of the artichoke hearts. Not too worry though, it came with some bread with a side of what tasted like like garlic butter. That garlic butter by the way, was amazing. Back to the pizza bowl, I dipped my bread in that leftover oil, and it soaked it all in which to me was great. I ate the whole thing and I got full. The Number 84 pasta entrée was perhaps one of my boyfriend's favorite pasta dishes in a very long time. He ate every bite of that but he did say that it needed a bit of salt. I had a taste of it and I agree but it was still good. My son had the kids chicken strips and he ended up liking it. He got full before he ate it though. Our meals came with a side salad with Bleu cheese dressing and a minestrone soup. That soup was really good. The service was top notch despite it not being busy. Even one of the ladies offered me water while I waited, which doesn't happen often. I will be back to try the tiramisu next time ”
