Was real excited first time there. They sat us at a table next to the bar and welcome desk. The waitress was sweet but not real attentive as much as we would have liked. The food was a disappointment, Veal piccata had two medallions for veal and about a whole can of capers. Sauce was sloppy and we had to ask for refills on drinks. And finally we had to call for our waitress for a box to go and our ticket. Too much commotion

Our experience at Ristorante Filippo was absolutely perfect. We were greeted with such warmth and hospitality, and the night just got better from there. We were a larger party so we were seated in their small little private room, which was truly charming. Our server Kasey was attentive and sweet, and the food was utterly incredible. We are out of towners so we weren’t sure what to expect, but we were blown away at how fantastic our meals were. Highly highly recommend this wonderful restaurant!

I have been here many times and it is always on point. The lasagna is to die for. Their red sauce is a little sweet, which I really like. I highly recommend this restaurant.

The food was fantastic. We had a late reservation, so the restaurant was not so busy. It worked out perfect because the food came out pretty quick and service was great!

Hate to leave a negative comment but food was not good at all. Have dined here several times in past years and quality has gone downhill. Last time was a party of 6 and we all had complaints.

One entrèe was incorrect and had to be corrected. Appetizer was not hot enough when served. Soup was tasty, but described as “creamy”, but was watery. Cocktails good, quantity good. Tables too close together - noticed empty tables upstairs and in bar area that could have been used to spread patrons out. Waiters could hardly fit between tables. AC blows too hard on patrons/uncomfortably noticeable. Credit Card fees are added to bill. Charged for still water

We were early for our reservation but were seated right away. The food was outstanding as usual and there was enough for lunch for the next day. Any of the veal dishes are wonderful.
