Lombardozzi's Restaurant & Lounge

This review is for their banquet room and not for their regular menuI came here for a communion party and what a place to hold such an occasion.

I live just about a five minute walk from here and had never been.

I have been coming here for almost 3 decades (my entire being)This restaurant has a place in my heart and many members of my family.

Big thanks to Ian for posting about this place on Facebook. Without seeing that post I would have never known that there was a buffet three days per week a quarter of a mile from where I live. I just went there for the first time today and got the lunch buffet. It was really good. The selection was actually larger than what had been advertised on Facebook. The quality was significantly better then what I would have expected from a buffet and I credit the chef for that. Many times when you go to a small buffet like this you can tell that the chef or the person in the kitchen is trying to do as little as possible. Often times they will make food in bulk and put it out so that they then can forget about the buffet for a while and do other things, or nothing at all. That was not the case here. The chef was frequently bringing out very small amounts. That helped to make sure that the food on the buffet was constantly fresh and never dried out. It was obvious that he was doing the opposite of what I've seen at other places by doing everything that he could to make sure that the customers had great food and a great experience. The worst part about my meal was my own fault. I made the assumption that since it was a buffet the food would have been made at a lower quality and that it would require seasoning. The first thing that I did without even tasting any of the food was salt it and that was a big mistake. I tried every single item on the buffet and none of it actually ended up needing any seasoning whatsoever. I can't believe that this Buffet is less than $10. The place was moderately busy but there was so much seating that it didn't matter. I was able to sit immediately, be waited on immediately, and begin browsing the buffet immediately. That is somewhat important to me because I had other things that I needed to do and I didn't want to be there forever. The staff was also very friendly. My waiter was friendly, and there was an older gentleman who came out from time to time just to ask everybody if everything was okay and if the food was okay. I assume that this was the owner or a manager. If you haven't tried this place I strongly recommend it.

Outstanding food and service! We have been going her for years and it only gets better! Highly recommend the chicken romano — best I have ever had!
