    Outstanding restaurant. Live entertainment. Allen was a great host to us. He went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. No need to look for parking as it’s right next to the front door or you can just valet. Pricey but you definitely get what you pay for. Highly recommend the sweet potatoes and crab cakes.

    We had a wonderful experience dining at Iozzo's Garden of Italy. The cheesy garlic bread appetizer was delicious. All of our meals were very good. We had the chicken marsala, pork Milanese and short rib ragu. We all enjoyed our meals. The market greens salad included with the meals was also very good and we all liked the lemon vinaigrette that was recommended with it. Our server, Dale took exceptionally good care of us to make our dining experience even more special.

    Arrive hungry because there is a lot of food! Very tasty! Our waiter was very friendly and attentive! Suggested we all share, which we did and there were still leftovers! They sat us next to a party of 10 and it was quite noisy. Overall it was a nice place and we all will go back!
