                                                        Amazing food and love the old school dining atmosphere. Wasn't fond of our table however. It was a two person table in between a party of 6 and another table where the couple sitting next to us fought the whole time. I feel the tables were too close together. Next time we will sit in the bar area. Will definitely be back!!

                                                        Been going here for some time now and every visit the host is so engaging and friendly. The staff and the food are excellent. Love it. Just celebrated a milestone birthday here and they could not have been more accommodating. There was a DJ playing some great tunes and the bar scene is fun.

                                                        Love going to Goodfellas restaurant anytime because the food is always great, and the service is always great. The owner is always walking around to make sure everyone is happy and if there is a problem he will take care of it. I also like that you are not rushed into eating your meal which makes it very relaxing and enjoyable.
