"Cappetta's always offers DELICIOUS QUALITY dishes at REASONABLE prices. The Shrimp Scampi (White) was a delight, w/ Jumbo Shrimp and an ample amount of garlic and EVOO on a generous mound of spaghetti. The Chicken Marsala was irresisti- ble -- a complex blend of chicken, mushrooms and a wine-based, savory gravy, which we sopped up with GREAT bread. DELICIOUS!! The Grilled Salmon Salad & Fresh Spinach Walnut Salad were the perfect counterpoints to the rich pasta dishes. What a WONDERFUL meal!"
"In a time of changing expectatons, one thing remains a constant: you can ALWAYS RELY ON Cappetta's to provide DELICIOUS FOOD from HIGH QUALITY INGREDIENTS at REASONABLE PRICES. The Cheeseburger Sub is a winner -- generous portions that amount to two regular burgers in a grinder role. We ordered ours w/ mush- rooms & provolone -- TERRIFIC! The Shrimp Scampi was a heap of pasta w/ huge shrimp slathered in scrumptious garlic and red sauce. The Mississippi Mud Pie is a choco- late lovers dream, smooth & fudgy. All in all, Cappetta's is an institution that stands out when others limp along. GREAT FOOD; GREAT PRICES !"

"Usually get the john Wayne and love it. This one was very soggy eggplant and wrapped horribly. Fell apart instantly. Also, wanted cannolis and chips but they don't have options on their page for those. Love this place so much, but if you offer sandwiches take 10 minutes and put your menu on here. I really hope they will."

"Loooove Natdelli's. I do think the $13 salad should have more of the toppings but it was still very good and fresh, as always. This time our Mac n cheese arrived cold but it's soooo cheesy-would order again."
"SUPERB grinders and fixins from NARDELLI'S. We ordered DOUBLE MEAT for both grinders -- and we were overwhelmed. The Meatball Parm whole was over-flowing with quartered meatballs. So much so, that if you had to eat it over the paper because one bite would cause a part of a meatball to spill out. Great taste, and TERIFFIC bread. The Bologna whole was also filled with top quality cold cuts. Order- ing double meat was the key. The Mac Salad was just like you would get from a deli. The Choco Passion & the Waffle Rolled Cheesecake were DELEC- TABLE. All in all, Nardelli's once again EXCEEDED OUR EXPECTA- TIONS. And, that's saying some- thing because over the years, we have come to EXPECT THE VERY BEST from them."
