    Goodfellas is just a very unique and fun place to go for a great night of well prepared Italian food. Certainly NOT a chain restaurant, you notice the ambiance the minute you walk in. Friendly, family oriented and the bar is crazy busy with singing and live entertainment. Not obnoxious, just people having a good time. The specials vary and are freshly prepared and sourced. I had a caesar salad, very tasty, and spaghetti carbonara; my friend the chicken parm. Large portions so even if you come hungry there is a meal to go when done. Large wine selection, all reasonably priced and full bar. Highly recommend and kid friendly as well.

    By far, the best dining experience that we have had in a longgggg time!! We live about 30 minutes away, but have been 4x in the last year (including 2x in the last week!!). Especially wonderful for those with gluten allergies. Food is phenomenal, service is fantastic, and ambience is warm & welcoming. This is currently our favorite restaurant and we would highly recommend to anyone seeking a quality meal, reasonably priced, with friendly and professional service.
