Ok ambiance. Very good service. Bread was the soft white italian bread you get at the local supermarket. Vongole was too tough to eat. Chicken Parm was not crispy and sort of mushy. Sauce was good. The spagetti that came with it was 4 spoonfuls.

Ordered from here, first time last night. food was not good. ravioli was mediocre at best. caesar salad had no flavor and the croutons looked and tasted store bought - small, no flavor. mozz appetizer was inedible. plus, way over-priced. those three things cost me $50.

What makes downtown so much more pleasant that uptown? Downtown is alive, not embalmed. Downtown is fun and exciting, and offers a new discovery around every corner, like Lanza's, a wonderful family restaurant. I'm bringing tutti la famiglia for dinner at Lanza's over Labor Day. Can't wait!

A lovely combination of old-style Italian dishes the way my Grandmothers made them as well as some inventive, funky dishes. Love this place. And you cannot get a better bang for the buck.

Had a splendid evening hear after finally walking in. I only regret that I hadn't stopped in sooner. Service here was impeccable, they were extremely attentive, funny and polite, and the busboy & waiter made sure everything was alright. The waiter even showed us a vintage menu from 1950 - which I could still get the chicken parm for just $1.25 again. Anyways, the food was absolutely scrumptious. I picked this place especially because they have whole wheat bread in the bread basket and have whole wheat penne and linguini substitution for an extra $1. My date and I shared a delectable bean soup and mussels in white wine (and there were pretty big mussels inside. Then I ordered the fettucini with salmon, but they were kind enough to make it with whole wheat linguini and it was in such a creamy vodka sauce that I devoured every bite - there were lots of big, yummy salmon chunks in my dish. My date had the chicken parmigiana and he loved it. Then we shared the black and white cake with some cabernet sauvignon. I would definitely come back especially after the waiter made us feel so welcome.

Thanks for the great food, wine, and world class musician.

I love all the food I've tasted in LANZA'S , there are no words to describe the amazig flavors that displays each piece of food you put in your mouth.
