Reviews


Negri's in Occidental has been a staple in the community for decades, known for its great family-style Italian dinners. However, recent reviews have expressed disappointment as Covid forced the closure of the main dining room, leaving only Joe's Bar open with a limited menu. Despite the changes, the food remains good, with dishes like minestrone soup, pasta, and roasted Brussels sprouts receiving high praise. While some dishes like the calamari fell short, others like the pasta and pizza were enjoyable. The transition away from family-style dining has left some long-time patrons feeling nostalgic, but overall Negri's continues to offer a fun and casual atmosphere with excellent food. The restaurant may not live up to its former glory, but it still remains a solid choice for Italian cuisine in the area, on average, Negri's Original Italian Restaurant has been rated as 3.9.
