   The food was very good and the price reasonable for what you got. The waiter was enjoyable. The only negative was that the restaurant didn't have my reservation which I booked through Open Table and it was for 10 people. Good thing they weren't busy.

   It was our first time there. The service started off slow but the owner noticed and sent over a waitress. I am hoping that she was new because she wasn't the best. Very slow to bring things and kept trying to take our dishes that we were still using. She only had two tables so hopefully she is new or just having an off night. The owner sings through out the evening. It was pretty loud in there due to a couple large parties that sang along. We did not mind that but would not suggest if you want a more intimate type dinner. The food was Delicious with the exception of the arancini balls. They were pretty dry, definitely have had better. The portions were large. We would definitely go back if we are in that area again.

   Food was good as always. The server was mediocre at best. We had to repeat ourselves many times. She asked 2 at our table what they would like as a side and listed the sides but didn't bother mentioning they were extra. Both were chicken dishes and each time we'd been prior we were not charged extra for our side dishes on chicken dinners. Now I got pasta and knew my meatballs would be more but not for the chicken giambotta or the chicken frances. When I asked her about it she said she told us they would be an upcharge but she didn't nor did she offer to take the fee off. Poor service on her part, highly disappointed!!

   Can't say enough good things about this place . The folks working are the nicest and the service is great as is the food. My wife and very good friend enjoy neck bones and Tuesday they have a special - they were very meaty and the gravy was very good. The baked clams and fried calamari also were well prepared as was the lamb chops which I had. Next time get the full order for eight chops ! Asked to be away from the door entrance and the table selected was perfect.

   Been coming to Tony's for almost 20 years, but haven't been here in a few years. This was the first time I was honestly a little disappointed. The food is outstanding, and it's a definite attraction when Tony comes by to sing live! Service was always great too... which is why I am a bit disappointed. The pricing for the food has gone up, which stands to reason service would go upscale too. But the food took way too long, and server couldn't remember who got what. We had some kids with us, and they were absolutely starving by the time their food came... which happened to be the last meals to arrive. Have you heard hungry, crabby kids before? The server only came by twice to check on us in a two hour span, and when we ordered some cokes, she brought them out and set them down at one end of the table. We had to pass them down ourselves. I have to assume she is a bit new to this job, and even with these small problems, I love this restaurant, and I'd still give them another try!

   Red meat sauce was very disappointing....it also drowned out the pasta.

   My group went to a play and then came to Tony's Spavon's for dinner. They were one of the few restaurants in the area who accommodate our group of 15. Always the best food and service. My wife and I have been coming here for twenty five years.

   Wonderful staff, service and food. But the best was Tony himself visiting our table, interacting and serenading our group! Will definitely go back and one of the best, most authentic restaurants I've been to in a while!!
