Loved the food and ambiance.The only reason I give this 4 stars is the recommended Lemon cake for desert was not fresh and I had to send back.

We have been to Guido's many times over the years and were there last evening (6-6-22). Their food is always delicious, and the service is always excellent as well. Though they are a bit pricey, it is well worth it, especially for a special occasion. I happen to love Stracciatella soup in particular and theirs is delicious. You can sit indoors or out. Enjoy!

Truly one of the finest dining experiences especially on Mother’s Day. The food and service were outstanding. Everyone was so friendly and courteous. The owner was such a delight to meet. My family couldn’t be more pleased.

Old school Italian restaurant with excellent food. The seafood pasta was delicious, amazed at how the dish stayed hot the while time. Pasta and seafood perfectly cooked. Great portion size. The filet mignon in green peppercorn sauce was quite tasty as well. Highly recommend for nice dinner. Desserts not as amazing so don't force yourself if you're full!

Stopped by after not visiting the original Guido's Restaurant for a decade. The food is still awesome, as expected, especially those garlic knots. The patio area is nice too, although I miss the old days of everyone signing "That's Amore" on the hour. Try the lobster mac!

Something has changed for the worse :(When we came here last year it was fabulous, with the shrimp and tiramisu possibly being the best we ever had! Idk if we just had a different chef or the ingredients were lower quality, but it's nowhere near as good as it was. It wasn't BAD, but it was just ok, so definitely NOT worth the $30 entrées.I had the chicken parmigiano and chocolate mousse for dessert. The chicken was soggy and what little bit of (bland) crust that was crisp was burnt. The marinara was unappealing (it was a bit too sweet tasting and probably could have used more spices/herbs), but maybe I'm just biased for homemade bolognese sauce. The chocolate mousse was fine tasting but wasn't light and fluffy like mousse is supposed to be (it was more solid, like a cheesecake, so it was probably just kept in a refrigerator that was too cold). I personally really wanted to have their breadsticks, but they switched it out for regular bread and cheap butter packets.Mum had the shrimp (skampi?), which were rubbery, and the tiramisu was mushy and soaked in the coffee and rum flavoring to the point where that was all you could taste. The green beans that came with the scampi were good, if that counts for anything. Overall a really disappointing and expensive experience, and definitely not a place we'll come to again when we're back in town.

Restaurant advertises they are open until 9:30pm. We arrived at 9:08pm on A Friday night and they refused to seat us. I will be taking my business to other institutions that live up to their word.

Excellent service. Some food great, other food not so much. Shrimp was tasteless and chewy, pasta dishes were great. It's an old time place with star photos from the 70's and 80's. The decor hasn't changed since then, which we liked. Expect to pay 100 per person with tip and tax.
