Good, but overpriced
The pizzas and pastas are quite tasty. In fact, this is my favorite pizza in the neighborhood (and I've had them all). The red sauces actually have chunks of fresh tomato. Everyone who works there is very kind and accommodating and the place is always very clean. That said, the food is definitely overpriced. The issue with Daniello's is that they're a pizza and red sauce joint trying to be something more upscale. In addition to the unjustified prices, there are only two tiny tables for those who just want to grab a slice while the rest of the tables have linen tablecloths and are reserved for sit-down service (and yet they mostly go unoccupied). And if you are at the tiny tables, a waiter hovers over you, which makes one think that they're expecting a tip. Kind of silly when you're just having a slice and a soda, and you ordered the food and brought it to the table yourself. Bottom line: instead of putting the focus on linen tablecloths and specialty drink menus, they should focus on being a more casual and inviting neighborhood spot.

Another local place hits the dust
I was the only sit-down customer tonight at 6 pm. It could have been the bad weather, but I think it is the slippage in quality of food and the in-your-face service by the waitress. I barely had my jacket off, when she pounced on me with menus and within seconds, she asked if I were ready to order. Several time she cam over to see if I had finished my drink, or salad or main plate. It was impossible to relax. Also, she speaks and understands English as if she were taking a hard shower. Now for the food. The prices have risen and the quality of food is poorer. In particular, they had a fine, fresh quality tomato sauce which has been replaced with pizza-type sauce. Then Caesar salad had tasteless, wilted romaine and canned or bottled sauce sauce. Another local place hits the dust.

Way too expensive and not worth price
The quality and portions are not nearly worth the high prices they charge. In a chicken parm sandwich, you have to actually look for the chicken because there's hardly any there. Also had some farfalle dish with shrimp--gag me. They have a nerve to charge $8 for a banana split. Better quality/value = Patsy's, Ultimate, definitely John's Pizzeria.

Good Traditional Pizza
Decided to try and find a traditional Neapolitan pizza. Daniello's came up in my search and I decided to give it a try. The pizza was very good and those around the area should definitely give this place a try. I ordered takeout so I cannot comment on the table service, but from what I saw the staff was very courteous and the owner was nice. The place does look to be a pizzeria about all else with other dishes as well.

A Nice Surprise
My friend and I decdied to try this place for lunch because he had a coupon. We came and were a little dissappointed with the plain decor, which is more a pizzaria than a restaurant. However we decided to pig out anyway, although everyone else seems to be sticking to pizza. All the dishes we had were just so amazing. The chicken wings were fried to perfection and crunchy outside and juciy inside, but to make it spicy you need to put on the sauce. The calamari was also fried perfectly and fairly tender. My friend had a veal dish that he said was very tender. I ordered the linguini with white clam sauce and it came with real clams and lots of garlic, just the way I like it. I liked the linguini and clam so much I went back the following week and ordered it for takeout, this time without the coupon. My friend and I will definitely be going back. We just have to decide if we are going to stick with these dishes or try something else.

One Dish but its worth it
There is only 1 dish worthwhile here but it is outrageous - Chicken Rollatini with Penne (ask for melted Mozzarella cheese on top) - seriously one of my favorite dishes in the whole city. I've tried many other things from here and was disappointed every time. The Rollatini really hits the spot though.
