Why do I not see a menu

Don't know why there's no menu on line. The food is typical italian, and has pretty much everything you'd expect. We've been there 12 or so time's the last 2 or 3 years. Don't understand the reviewers who criticize the slow service, it's never happened to us. We especially like the early bird specials. Think you need to arrive before 6:30, but the price is a bargain and the portions full sized, and delicious. And the cappuccino is great, in nice big cups, not the little chintzy ones.

Is this BYOB

No, they have a full bar.

Do they have lotsa spaghetti?

There is a variety of pastas

Is there a happy hour at Possillipo's

I'm not sure. I doubt it. But their food is delicious.

Is tjis BYOB

No, they have a full bar.

reservation party of four 7:00 pm or earlier. please call

POSILLIPO IS AN ITALIAN RESTAURANT THAT SERVES EXCELLENT FOOD THAT ARE VERY NICE-SIZED PORTIONS. THE BARTENDER FREDDIE MAKES TERRIFIC BLOODY MARYS & CHICOLATE MARTINIS. DAVID ESPINOSA, THE OWNER & CHEF IS EXTREMELY ACCOMMODATING. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

What happened to Mike and Nellies?

I never went to Mike and Nellies, but the new restaurant is very good.

Are reservations necessary?

I always make one.

My family and I were very disappointed with our experience here. Our server vanished after she took our order and when she was there she was very cold and appeared as if she didn't want to serve us. My parents ordered from the set menu where the appetizers were really good which gave us high expectations for our entrees. I ordered the shrimp fra diavolo which should be some what of a hearty marinara sauce with a nice spice, but what I got was a watered down plate of pasta and sauce. My sister ordered the fettuccine Alfredo which was literally appeared to be a bowl of heavy cream. My mom ordered the shrimp francese which was extremely under cooked. Finally my dad ordered the sirloin which he enjoyed but was upset that his steak which cost $30 only included 5 pieces of veggies. Needless to say we will never be going back. And would never recommend

NOT GOOD!We made reservations on Facebook that were confirmed And yet when we got there they had no record of it. We did get seated right away but waited almost 30 minutes before anybody came over and even brought us water! We had to ask the waitress if there were any specials of the day and she briefly mentioned the title of each dish without any description. She seemed quite disinterested. The difference was even more graphic when we heard the waitress at the next table specify all the details of each of the daily specials. The food was okay but nowhere near hot enough. We were going to buy a gift certificate for friends of ours but decided we'd rather get that from some place that they would enjoy more

This is my favorite restaurant hands down. The service is friendly and attentive. We have had Caroline numerous times and she simply is the best. The food is always fresh, hot, flavorful, plentiful. The portions are right on. They are patient as we can get a little loud. I highly recommend Posillipo for two or twenty. And they have a cute little bar section if you want to dine alone. Thanks always Mike

Been there several times and it's been consistently good. Ingredients are fresh, food is prepare well and the service is efficient and very personable. They're also very accommodating with meeting particular needs from their kitchen and their well stocked bar.And though I'm not Italian, my husband is, and he likes this place as much as do. Ooh also, a really nice feature, there's always fresh flowers on the table.

Worst restaurant I have been to in a very long time. Especially disgusted with the service but the food was not much better. There is a young girl that is serving there that has no business dealing with the public. She has a terrible attitude and mistreated us from the moment we walked in. She completely ruined our dining experience and will never return or recommend to any one. We are in the restaurant business and looked forward to a good meal. Not possible. If she worked for me she would be fired on the spot. It was my anniversary and we specifically chose and looked forward to coming here. Thank you so much for ruing our experience. You suck!!!!!

Very nice restaurant. Clean, beautiful atmosphere. Quiet. The service is great and attentive. Or waitress was lovely. They tend to have different menus each day. The food is very good. We started with the house salad which was delicious. I could've eaten a barrel of it. We had the red snapper and filet mignon for main course, both of which were perfectly cooked. The tartufo for dessert was the best I've ever tasted. Delicious! I'd definitely come back again, and again... and again.

My friend and I happened to go here on “pasta night,” which is Thursday. Their menu pasta is $12.95. Killer deal. However, forget the deal! The pasta was incredible. Delicious! I had the papperdella rosa, which is basically a light tomato sauce. It was perfect! Plus, they give you cheesy garlic bread. 👍👍 This place was not crowded and I couldn’t undertand why.
