A regular for special occasions and every day , never disappoints with the food, service, drinks ,

Update to a year later, another fantastic Baptism party!!! This time it was my granddaughter's. I came to write another rave review, but whatever I wrote last year is what I was about to write this time. Same exact thing: impeccable service, fantastic food, everything, everything was top notch!!!! And yes, they still serve the same organic butter pats!! I just love love love this restaurant!!! And you will too if you haven't been here! Please do yourself a favor and come have a first rate experience!!!!

Their food is really good imo but they are a bit pricey and the service is a bit lacking. When you sit down, they bring around a bread basket which was tasty. We ordered the meatball app and the baked clams - both delicious and not enough tbh. My friend had the seafood fra diavolo and I had the chicken Francese with broccoli and the potato croquette. It needed a bit of seasoning but I generally liked my meal. The prices are a little higher than expected but I would definitely return again. The service wasn't great. There weren't many people in the back room where we were seated but we were waiting for a while to get our orders taken. Also, there was a large group practically screaming at each other. Not ideal for dinner but it is what it is. Food was good tho.

My happy place!! I always get happy when walking into this restaurant. Why? Food is great, service top notch and owners care. Oh! And place is spotless (important fact). Reservations recommended on weekends. Enjoy!

One of the best experiences I've had.! We had reservations and was seated right away . It was clearly not a busy evening but it was perfect . The ambience was giving romantic vibes. Our server did an amazing job. He went over the specials with us and it was such a hard decision because everything sounded so good We settled for zucchini flowers , octopus, calamari meatballs for appetizers , entrees were chicken Marsala , salmon pieces wth pasta and peas , sea bass , and pork chops. Hope I didn't forget anything as it was so much food We also had red and white wine . Everything was extremely delicious ! The calamari needed a kick of flavor/spice but otherwise everything tasted incredible ! Desert was heavenly. I will definitely be back! Amazing food and service !

Serving a party of 35 is not an easy task! We were in the back party room with tables set up in a U and the room could easily accommodate twice that many people. The service was impeccable and impressive because the waitstaff were obviously highly trained and attentive, knowing exactly when a wine or water glass needed filling, food was served quickly or when dishes or utensils needed to be changed or cleared. House red & white wines set on the table in carafes were constantly refilled and crusty Italian bread was in no short supply. Our select menu started with antipasti, served family style, starting with Crispy Calamari and Breaded Zucchini & Yellow Squash, all perfectly batter dipped, breaded and fried. The squash were super hot and almost burned my tongue, but you know they were seasoned right as they came out of the hot oil, perfectly golden and accompanied by sweet marinara sauce. These were followed by Mussels Marinara, all plump and sweet. Following a traditional Italian meal, the pasta course was served in the form of Penne a la Vodka for everyone. We had a couple of vegans and gluten-free diets in our party and they were accommodated without hesitation. For entrées, we had a choice of Fillet of Sole Oreganata, Italian NY Strip Steak or Veal Sorrentino, all with a side of sautéed string beans and a cheesy croquette. I opted for the flounder which was very flavorful and of course heavy on the garlic. My wife had the steak and I was most grateful that she shared some with me. For the vegans, the chef was able to make a Grilled Vegetable Medley and for the gluted-free, Grilled Pork Chops. Of course, dessert was served family style as well with Italian Cheesecake and Tartufo w/ Layered Chocolate & Vanilla Ice Cream, all washed down with coffee, espresso or cappuccino. I even took the ice cream out of my tartufo and made my own affogato, though they probably would have made me one! I would love to come back for a repeat performance of this amazing evening!

Absolutely delicious! An amazing neighborhood restaurant that deserves more rave and reviews! The food was so good and amazingly huge portions for the price. I highly recommend this place to anyone who craves some Italian food in the area. I will definitely come back!

After reading rave reviews about DV on a marine park Facebook group my boyfriend and I decided to try this close to home restaurant for my birthday dinner just the two of us -DV is a visually attractive restaurant and the service and the food are AMAZING! DELICIOUS Italian cuisine and attentive service -they make a red sauce that would make any Italian grandma proud! Their menu and specials are quite extensive! We were thrilled they were offering zucchini flowers last night - we shared zucchini flowers which was lightly fried, breaded and with cheese and that red sauce -yumilicious! We also shared the stuffed artichoke - again absolutely delicious! We ordered the same main dish - seafood Fra Diavolo -warning it's very spicy but still delicious and with a very generous serving of sea food and your choice of pasta They made my birthday special when desert came around - a sparkling candle on my way too sweet cheesecake cone and almost the whole restaurant joined in to sing happy birthday! I give this great restaurant 4 stars instead of 5 because wow are the acoustics bad! We were there on a Wednesday evening and place was full mostly small and medium sized groups dining and they were noisy - if you are looking for a quiet romantic evening where you can hear each other speak unless the place is empty I don't think this would be your best pick - we really did LOVE the food and the service!

I decided to visit the Old Pinocchio's place and was totally amazed with the New DV! I was in awe with their cuisine, ambiance & especially their service. Luiz (Head Waiter) & Anthony couldn't have been more on point with their hospitality & professional attitude towards a total stranger. And the bartender George along with his wife, Rosanna (as a patron) couldn't have more welcoming and the most kindest people I have privilege of meeting. NOW ABOUT THE FOOD!!!! MARRONE!!! If there is a place you want to have authentic Italian cuisine.....this is the place...BRAVO to the chef and his staff. RATING:#1 in Fine Dining! 100% in Satisfying the palate! 10 out of 10 in Excellence & Experience! THANKS FOR A WONDERFUL TIME! Nicola Cervo
