“ It doesn’t get any better! The complimentary salad paired with their house dressing was perfect! I got the shrimp scampi and was blown away! My boyfriend got the special and ate every bite We finished off with a cheesecake sundae. A cute atmosphere perfect for families or in our case, a nice date night. The staff was also incredibly friendly! We can’t wait to go back! ”
“ This Italian restaurant is our new Italian go to restaurant. I had their Veal Parmigiana my wife had their Stuffed Shells. They start out by bringing you their house salad with their special house made dressings which are delicious. Also a basket of excellent garlic bread. My Veal Parmigiana was the real deal veal breaded and fried a huge slab over a bed of I’m guessing house made spaghetti drenched in house made marinara. This is why I chose Fanellos. My wife’s Stuffed Shells were fantastic. The amount of food was enough for two people. The whole time we were there we were serenaded by a live musician playing soft romantic bass music. The bill was rather cheap for us both. We will be back and soon. ”

“ Great place to have a great dinner and atmosphere. Went there three years ago and hasn’t miss a beat. Food is fantastic and had a guy playing solo cello which was great during dinner. Staff is fast and professional. I highly recommend this place. We will be back, ”
“ Fantastic date night place. The owner is very accommodating and they are gluten-free friendly. They have a family member with celiac disease. The salad is great with the house-made dressings and the pasta is awesome. ”
“ 1st time going tonight, had a reservation, it was recommended, good idea. Place was pretty busy for 5 on a Saturday, and that’s great. Got seated immediately, served on point and fast, food.....holy buckets!! I wanted to flip a coin between lasagna and stuffed shells, lasagna won and I’m not disappointed. Now I’m forced to go back for stuffed shells!!! Bravo!! ”
“ We had great service when we went here tonight. You get a salad and bread when you order an entree and they were both very good. They have two choices they bring you for Dressing, their normal Italian dressing and a Creamy Italian dressing, both of which were good separate and combined. We would come back here again. ”
“ Absolutely charming spot with great service! From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed and taken care of. The salad was super fresh, and they offer both red and white dressings—pro tip: mix them together for an unexpectedly amazing combo! We had the gnocchi with spicy sauce and the chicken carbonara, and both were outstanding. Rich, flavorful, and clearly made with care. This place is a gem—can’t wait to come back! ”
