    This was our first trip to Lombardi’s, and it will become a regular part of our restaurant rotation. We went for Christmas lunch. We were happy that we could order from the regular menu, the brunch menu or the Holiday Menu. All three of us enjoyed our cocktails and meals. The design is beautiful , which adds to the overall lovely experience.

    Really enjoyed dinner here! Drinks were made perfectly! Loved the fried artichokes, meatballs and focaccia. Of the entrees we ordered, the sheet pan lasagna was our favorite followed by the bolognese. The Marsala trumpets were good but not particularly special. Tiramisu and cheesecake were the perfect ending to the meal! I’ll definitely be back. Thank you!

    Antonio was our server and he was excellent. We have had Antonio as our server before and he always provides excellent and quality service. We usually order the same Burgundy wine and was looking in the by the glass section and forgot to look in the bottle section and did not see it but he remembered the name of the wine for us. We love Coppa and it is our go to.
