   We had a reservation and were seated immediately (not by anyone taking us to the table but more of a pointing to the table across the room) and we still waited more than 10 minutes before anyone acknowledged us. We finally got someone's attention and got a waiter. Fortunately the waiter turned things around and was very nice and attentive. The food came out in a reasonable time. There were 3 of us and we had the seared scallops and calamari to start, both were very good. The scallops are served with spinach which was sauteed to perfection. For our entree's we had the Sausage & Peppers, which was very spicy, the Champagne Chicken and Chicken Piccata and both were delicious. Cannoli's for desert. They were covered in chocolate which was a bit much for the "purists", but very tasty nonetheless.

   Filomena’s kitchen is fabulous. I’ve never had anything bad there. Hector is an amazing waiter. He’s always fun. Positive person. I wish I lived closer I’d be there once a week. The deli is also wonderful. Try the pineapple upside cake so good!

   Our server was great. Food just wasn’t what we were expecting. The Bolognese was a creamy sauce almost like a beef stroganoff, lots of cream.  Bread was good meatballs were good. Salad was good. Just the entrées were just a little bit off.

   I really like this restaurant - it’s warm and friendly and good food. I think the best thing about this restaurant is the service- really excellent!! The food is very good, but it’s on the expensive side. There isn’t a glass of wine on the menu under $15 (large selection), and they charge for everything…. We asked for pasta on the side and they charged for adding sauce. We wanted one entree with spinach instead of pasta and they charge for that. But overall good restaurant!

   Love this place, their server is top notch, they go very heavy on the sauce, when I go back I’m going to ask them to go lighter but a very good spot for excellent food

     they experience was wonderful. They have a Deli with all the fresh pasta, homemade and sauces and cookies when we try them it’s excellent, and the food was over the top. The service was great. It was nice. You were able to talk in there. I go back in a heartbeat.
