    My wife and I have eaten at Angelo's many times over the past years, and we are always pleased with the food, the service, and the ambience. The bread served premeal is outstanding and sets the tone for the meal to follow. We both ordered salads, and they are well prepared and sizable portions. I ordered the chicken cutlet dinner, and it was magnificent. The vodka sauce was creamy and delicious. The gnocchi were cooked to perfection, and the cutlet itself was tender and succulent. My wife tried the chicken francaise and she was well pleased. The desserts were tempting, but the dinner portions left us full and satisfied. Perhaps, next time.

    Our party of 4 visited Vidalia the evening of December 28, 2024. We were promptly seated and our wine bottles were opened. A hot basket of garlic bread was promptly brought out to our table. Our waiter was Joe, who was extremely attentive and helpful with the regular menu and specials for the evening. Everyone's entrees were outstanding, which honestly was expected as we have dined at Vidalia many times in the past. Vidalia has great food and outstanding service. The fact that its BYOB makes it even better. We were so full after dinner we had not room for dessert. Next time for sure. In summary, we had a wonderful time at Vidalia last evening and look forward to our next visit.

    Dear Caffe Aldo Lamberti Team, After traveling from Forest, Virginia I wanted to extend my heartfelt compliments and gratitude for the extraordinary surprise birthday dinner we hosted on Friday night at your restaurant. From the moment we entered the doors and received your signature warm welcome, to the impeccable service provided by Ibrahim, and Mr. Lamberti personally celebrating our special guest’s birthday, every detail exceeded our expectations. The dinners, desserts, and cocktails were exceptionally well-prepared and presented, showcasing the culinary excellence that Lamberti’s is known for. Ibrahim, with his exceptional attention, cheerful demeanor, and genuine smile, truly stood out and made the evening even more memorable. It’s clear that every waiter at Lamberti’s embodies the same standard of excellence. Our general assessment of the evening? Pure Wow Factor! Thank you all for creating such a wonderful experience for our family and friends. It’s a night we’ll cherish for years to come.
