After reading rave reviews about Anzio's, my wife and I decided to give it a try. Trying to find the place with GPS was...well...an adventure. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted and handed a pager. The other "regulars" inside waiting were very warm and hospitable. One gentlemen commented on how they come to Anzio's every Friday night for family dinner. I figured that it must be good.
We were seated in a quiet corner next to a large 60" flat screen with the playoff games on. The atmosphere was pleasant, not too loud, not too quiet. Normal conversations being had at the different tables. The wait staff was well dressed and professional. We waited a little bit more that 5 minutes to be greeted by the server, but, he did make up for it in his attentiveness and speed of service.
The dinner menu was somewhat overwhelming. So many options, so many different food types. Heck, there was even 1 lb. burgers on there?! I thought this was an Italian restaurant? We started out with some wings, sweet and spicy and medium. Texture was good, seems like they went through the pizza oven and then mixed with the sauces. Not bad, but, I'm not sure that it's worth the price.
For entrees, I decided to go with the classic trio (Chicken Parmesan, Fettucine Alfredo, and Lasagna). My wife had the chicken and broccoli dish. Our meals came out with our choice of soup or salad. I tried the chicken noodle soup which was surprisingly VERY good. My wife's salad was a typical house salad but was generous in portion and was the right starter to the meal.
The food came out PIPING hot! We were warned to let it cool for a moment before we dove it. I don't think I let her finish the sentence before my fork was in the Chicken Parm. The Trio was darn good! The Chicken Parm was the best part of the dish. The Lasagna felt that it lacked something in the sauce. The noodles, cheese, and filling were great, it's just that the sauce was bland. The Fettucine was cooked perfectly and the alfredo was very tasty. I would try that again. It was not too heavy, not too garlicy, just right. Not many place can do that!
The Chicken and Broccoli dish was just what my wife (8 months pregnant) was craving. It came with their signature garlic bread which was cooked to perfection. Perfect amount of garlic butter, cheese and crunch to the baguette. She had "way too many" (her words).
My 2 year old son devoured his kid's spaghetti. He ended up licking his fingers after shoving the last forkful in and proclaiming aloud "dee---rishious" (his best attempt to say delicious). He was quite upset when it was gone and asked for more.
Overall, we were very pleased with our experience. The server was very attentive and the speed of service was perfect. Only complaints would be waiting more than 5 minutes to be greeted at the table and the taste of the sauce on the lasagna. Everything else was great.
We'll be back soon to try a couple of different options. 4.5/5
