"This was our first time at Pizzelle's Bistro. Our waiter was AWESOME. I don't know his name. But he had a Spanish accent. His level of service is more characteristic of a 5 star restaurant. All of his recommendations were perfect. Also great was the classical guitarist they had (David Adele). He was AMAZING. The ambiance he created was so romantic. If you go, check first to see if they're having live music. It really made the evening perfect. My fiance's pizza was good. But my calzonne was really fantastic. Best I've ever had. We'll definitely be back."

"Found this local spot on Open Table and gave it a try. We were pleasantly suprised. The food, service and live classical guitar on Saturday night made for a very enjoyable evening close to home. Glad we tried something new! Will definetely dine here again."

"A bit of a mixed bag. One factor that I use in judging an Italian restaurant is the base sauce/gravy on the pasta. Pizzelle's is quite good. Dare I say, excellent. I come from a family of eggplant parm aficionados. Pizzelle's is not bad but it is odd. It includes spinach(??) which is almost as prevalent as the eggplant. I also expect a proper eggplant parm to have the eggplant breaded and fried before being layered and baked. Not the case here. They go off the reservation a bit with this interpretation-some may like it-not for me. The wife had pescatore. Again, one of my faves. Nice sauce/broth. But the calamari rings were downright weird. Very thin and tasteless. Almost seemed like misplaced onion rings. Tiramasu dessert...very good."
