Stopped here for lunch on the way to Lexington. This place was a cute hidden gem we found. Pasta and meatballs were delicious to live up to their 95 year old recipe claim. The server was attentive and the service was very fast. It was not busy at all on a weekday lunch. Lots of parking and got a table immediately.
This is my favorite restaurant in Findlay. Services is always excellent, the food is excellent, and a great quiet and calm atmosphere. When people come into town from work, it’s the first restaurant I recommend to out-of-towners. My go-to is the Spicy Sicilian- but I have enjoyed every dish I’ve had there!
Not quite sure where to start on this one because everything was so good. Let's start with Mom she was super friendly, great suggestions, entertained all of our questions and was just a really nice person. The 40-minute drive was well worth it. The food was just amazing. The portion size were big. The food was so flavorful and fresh. It was some of the best Italian I've ever had. Fat Tony's plate was amazing. The chicken on top was perfection. It was just a solid dish. The lasagna was lair upon layer of goodness. It is going to be hard for me to eat Italian anywhere else because everything will be benchmark off of this place. The desserts were good. Can't wait to return. Keep looking in bowling Green and I'll keep my eye out. Thanks Mom.
Authentic Italian food !! Everything was delicious . The service was great. This is a small older restaurant. I found the design of the building interesting . The dessert we had was also delicious . One very important note . They don’t sell alcohol but you re allowed to bring a bottle with you . If you require a nice red wine with your pasta ( as we did )you will need to bring the glasses , opener as well as the wine.
Micha and the crew at Preteroti's are the best for AUTHENTIC Italian wade with their wonderful high quality recipes. Some reviews have indicated that price is a bit high, but it's because it's much higher quality. An abundance of specialty Italian ingredients. The Lasagna is fantastic with three different meats and the cheese cake is creamy and rich. Even the salads have a special added touch. And almost everything is made right in their kitchen on-site!!!
Food... Where do I start? Overall, 12 out of 10. Portion size? Massive. Taste? Delicious. Price? Very reasonable. Service... from the moment you walk in the door you feel welcome. The staff is extremely friendly and attentive. My husband insists they have the best fountain coke on this side of the Mississippi. Atmosphere... Family owned. It shows it is a family owned business for the passion and love they put into each customer that walks in the door. Whether you come in for take away, send out for door dash, or eat in, you will not be disappointed. However, for the atmosphere alone, take time to eat in! We were in the area for personal reasons but will be sure to make the 3-hour round trip drive for this wonderful dining experience again. Merry Christmas!
We were driving through Findley from Michigan and stumbled upon this gem. This was the best Italian Restaurant we have ever been to. Highly recommend the shrimp Alfredo. Even just their garlic bread was fantastic. We had the owner’s mom as our waitress and she was so friendly and caring. So glad we got to support a small family business Bummer that we live so far away from our new fav place.
Wow.......amazing family owned Italian Restaurant. A must stop. My husband and I were traveling home to Cincy from Michigan and wanted not a chain restaurant , so I found this gem. I’m Italian also and I have to say this lasagna was the best I ever had and reminded me of my Grandma’s. Food and service AMAZING!
