Went to Filomena Lakeview on a client’s recommendation and it hit the spot. Started with the shrimp cocktail, then the house salad, and wrapped it up with gnocchi in vodka sauce with prosciutto — all great. Tom took care of me and was super nice and personable. Food was great, I’ll 100% be back.
Have had lunch several times which were delicious! Today I attended a wedding shower. The food was the best food at a catered event I have ever had. Staff was very good also. Thank you Filomena's. I will be back
It's a fantastic restaurant. We always bring out of town guests there. It does not disappoint. The service is excellent and attentive. The food is delicious 😋. I have tried many items on the menu, always yummy. Leave room for dessert. The atmosphere is elegant and casual.
This is a very nice restaurant. The table was on the small side, but it was sufficient. We were served quickly, and all our orders were correct. Our waitress properly followed up once we started eating right on time. Prices are very reasonable, and our food was top-notch. The Veal Parmigiano was the best I had in a long time. It tasted fresh, and the gnocchi (I always up my macaroni side to gnocchi) was out of this world. 👌 I think it was the best I ever had. There was plenty of parking. We had reservations, but we're not sure we needed them. The bathrooms were clean.
They added a new dish called Crab Cake Seafood pasta. "Shrimp , scallops and crab cake in a blush sauce over house made linguini". Amazing!
Had lunch today on the patio. Cheesecake and chicken parm sandwich. Very good. The seats were a bit uncomfortable so wouldn't get me to stay long. Would definitely eat here again. Waitress was nice, would have liked her to check on us one more time after the food came, it was awhile before we saw her again so couldn't get mayo.
A winner in all categories. Friendly staff. Daily lunch specials. Reasonable prices. Gorgeous setting. I had the bacon wrapped meatloaf with mashers and peas. Lunch came with roasted peppers and bread. I’ve NEVER seen roasted peppers served as a complementary starter. Outstanding. My wife had the steak salad. Literally - a steak - served over a huge portion of salad. Our guest had pasta. Photos attached.
Very lovely here and great for a good time when you are more dressed up for a good lunch or dinner. Went here after a funeral and everyone who was here was very kind and sweet. The food was delicious and we had bread and the pepper on our table and it was so good. I got the eggplant dinner meal and it was delicious. Highly recommend going here.
Very nice restaurant. Definitely more of a fine dinning setting. My cousin had her baby shower here & it was so nice. The service was wonderful, all of the staff were super nice & accommodating. The food was good (on the pricey side). The inside of the establishment is very warm & inviting. I didn't know that this building has been here since the 1700s as a carriage house. Back in the 50s my grandparents went here when it was a cowboy bar. It's really nice to see what the new owner has done. It is named after his mother, which is so sweet.
Had such a great meal here recently. Everything was delicious!! My husband loved his meal too
