It was a great dining experience. We had a large group and ended up with more people than we originally expected. They helped make accommodations to ensure we were all able to sit together. The food was fantastic and the servers were amazing! Will definitely come back again.

Our table was ready and we were seated immediately upon arrival. Drinks were as were ordered and all three dinners were excellent (two lamb chops dinners and one veal tenderloin). The hot water for tea was perfectly hot and the tiramisu was very good. We were out in time for the theater (although we were not given the 10% discount advertised on the website, even though our server asked right up front if we were attending a show.) Great overall!

We commented during the meal that the service was outstanding-attentive without being annoying. Also, after I made the reservation online, I called to request a booth. The woman told me it was the middle of dinner hour (oops, I hadn't realized), but that she would look at it. And when we arrived, we were seated in a lovely cozy booth.

Everyone in our party enjoyed the experience. Wait staff seemed limited, he wasn't present to check in with us occasionally, he did so once. Food was delicious, other than the Baklava, which our party thought was overpowered with cinnamon flavor. We would very much like to return to try other entree options.

It is unfortunately very loud…. The space is just so open the noise just is loud….. Service was great!!! Efficient, friendly and attentive. The bread is great- warm and crusty!! The salmon was bland which was very disappointing. Half salads were also great. Priced awesome and perfect size. The shrimp appetizer was also disappointing. Looked awesome but it missed on flavor. I think the browned garlic just overpowered. Lol the chef had quite a sense of humor with the spam carbonara and the 10 discount for RBTL was also very community friendly!

Joe was a pleasure to have as a server. He was prompt and polite. He's a big fan of the chef, which made us big fans also. Especially after eating the lamb chops. The food was extraordinary. They even made sure that we were on time for our show. Phenomenal experience!!!

We discovered Polizzi’s many years ago due to its proximity to the RBTL shows. We decided to try dinner there as it was one of very few restaurants that had “saganaki!” OPAH! What we discovered, was a lovely restaurant gem with a wonderful menu! Chef Tom features a mix of Greek, Novo, American, Italian and seasonal specials. All delicious and wonderfully prepared on any given night, he features some new fish dish on his menu every day. The restaurant also features its own homemade bread and soups to die for. My wife and I find the restaurant warm and welcoming with a very caring staff. It has become one of our “Go To Restaurants!”
