" I came to Filomena's with high hopes after hearing all the buzz, but I have mixed feelings. The ambiance was lovely, and our waiter was very attentive. However, my pasta dish was a bit underwhelming; it just didn’t have the rich flavors I anticipated. My friend’s dish looked amazing, though! The portion sizes were generous, and our dessert was tasty. I want to give it another shot as the restaurant seemed quite popular. " (*Curated Review*)

" Filomena's was an unexpected but delightful find! We chose it simply because it was close to where we were staying. The menu is extensive, featuring a lot of traditional Italian dishes. I ordered the butternut squash soup as an appetizer, which was rich and flavorful, and my husband had the meatball sub—both were excellent choices! Our main courses included the chicken parm and a veggie pizza, both of which were satisfying and delicious. The ambiance is lovely, with rustic elements that make it feel genuinely Italian. Our server was friendly and made us feel welcome. We ended with a decadent chocolate dessert that was just heavenly! Overall, this restaurant exceeded our expectations, and I highly recommend it. " (*Curated Review*)

" I cannot express how much I love this place! Filomena’s has the feel of a neighborhood gem. The food feels homemade, especially the meatballs. I had the chicken parm, and it was massive and so satisfying! I also loved the complimentary garlic bread. The kitchen staff seems to genuinely care about the quality of food they're serving, which shows! The desserts looked tempting, especially the cannoli! Don’t skip dessert here! " (*Curated Review*)

" After several recommendations, I decided to check out Filomena's with a bit of skepticism given the mixed reviews I've seen online. However, I was pleasantly surprised. The market atmosphere is charming, and the offerings made me feel like I was stepping into a real Italian deli. I ordered the specialty calzone which was massive and filled to the brim with melty cheese and savory ingredients. The accompanying marinara sauce for dipping was a nice touch and added a delightful zest. While waiting for our food, I observed how quickly the staff worked to serve others, even during a busy rush. The only downside was I felt my meal could have been seasoned a tad more, but overall, it was a great meal and I would definitely visit again. " (*Curated Review*)

" Last night, we decided to explore Filomena's for dinner based on a friend's recommendation, and it certainly did not disappoint! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt inviting and warm. We started with the garlic bread, which was soft and buttery, making everyone crave more. For the main courses, I opted for the lasagna, while my partner chose the chicken piccata. Let me tell you, both dishes were bursting with flavor! The lasagna was creamy, and the cheese melted perfectly, while the chicken piccata was delightful with a rich lemony sauce. Service was impeccable too; our waiter was attentive without being intrusive. We topped off our meal with their famous tiramisu, which was light and just sweet enough. Overall, this was an unforgettable dining experience, and we can't wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Happened upon Filomena's purely by chance and what a lucky break that turned out to be! The ambiance was just what we were looking for—intimate yet vibrant. We were seated promptly and our waiter promptly made us feel at home. I must rave about the gnocchi; it was light and fluffy, just perfect. My partner tried the marinara pizza, and we both agreed that it was quintessentially Italian; fresh ingredients made all the difference. An impressive wine list added to the experience, allowing us to pair our meal perfectly. We ended the night with a homemade tiramisu that was the perfect balance between creamy and coffee flavor! Overall, I couldn’t recommend this spot enough for anyone looking for authentic Italian cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" Filomena’s is hands down one of the best Italian spots I’ve been to! From the rich pastas to the savory pizzas, every bite was phenomenal. I loved the ambiance; it was warm and welcoming—a perfect place for family or friends. Plus, I was floored by the dessert offerings; the gelato was to die for. I’ll be a returning customer for sure!
