We ordered a tray of lasagna and antipasto salad for a small party we were having. Everybody loved it! We had plenty of food and no one went away hungry.

We came here last Friday and I was so happy we didn’t have to wait to be seated. I absolutely love the romantic Italian vibe they have going on. It was a bit dark inside the restaurant but I think they just try to set the mood right. The garlic bread was so delicious. I had the shrimp scampi was AMAZING!!! I am looking forward to the next time we come here. The veggies were cooked perfect and seasoned perfect also. We ordered the fried calamari and it was just to die for! Just thinking about my shrimp scampi makes my mouth water! Its always hard to find an authentic Italian restaurant but this is definitely it!!! We will be back very soon!!!

The food is great, servings are large enough to take a bit home for later, and the waitstaff very attentive. The wait is short for a table, but long for a meal. Because the wait was a trifle long, the staff brought us extra garlic toast pre, and dessert post. We left very satisfied, and will return.

Conca has the feeling of a neighborhood family owned restaurant. We walked in to an intimate clean and nicely decorated with a very friendly staff. Service was excellent and we were immediately served glasses of water with fresh ware nicely sliced garlic/butter bread. The garlic bread is addicting. We quickly ate it up and they immediately served up more. The menu provides an excellent fare of authentic Italian dishes; antipasta, pasta and meat dishes. Many specialty dishes are on the menu that are not found at your typical made fast food Italian restaurants. I decided to try something different and went with the Rotelli with Artichoke. The sauce had a tinge of lemon with nice chunks of artichoke. It was excellent! My family also had the Chicken Parmesan and Chicken Cacciatorre. Both were delicious with generous helpings of chicken. The sides of spaghetti were meals in themselves. Prices were reasonable and understand, there are big helpings and most will walk out with half their food for yet another meal! If you like great Italian food, you won’t be disappointed.

Me and my girlfriend were craving some really good authentic Italian cuisine and by coming to Conca, we got just that! We got sat down fairly quickly and got served with some water and complimentary garlic bread which were Amazing! I ordered the Fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp and scallops which was out of this world! My girlfriend ordered the Lasagna which was also just as amazing. It did take us awhile to get our food but I’m thinking it was because the food was made from scratch. The wait for the food was long but well worth it. Thank you for the a amazing food and we will definitely be back!

We went to this restaurant after seeing/reading the good reviews. Pros: the food was really great. The complimentary garlic bread was delicious, our drinks were always promptly refilled, abs all of our entrées were really good. Our waitress allowed us to sample some of their sauces, which were each different but tasty. My husband got one of the combo plates that came with a rice ball, and he loved it! My veggies were really well cooked and my chicken picatta was flavorful. I thought the Alfredo sauce was really runny and a little bland. Cons: our party of 6 arrived at 7pm, and were seated by 715, but didn’t get our food until 835! We had somewhere to be at 9pm, and we had to keep requesting that our food be rushed or we would be late. We thought having a reservation 2 hours prior would be plenty of time, especially because the restaurant was so small and couldn’t seat many people. When one of the hostesses apologized for the really long wait after we asked for our check as soon as our food was brought out, she said they were really slammed, even though it looked moderately full(unless there’s only 1 cook to accommodate an entire restaurant!). Then she told us it was basically our fault because we had just made our reservation that day, while other customers had called even more in advance! Did that mean that our food was prepared based on the date/time we made our reservation?! We asked for our check and to-go boxes several times before they were actually brought to us. Overall, good food, just extremely slow at getting your food. Our waitress did feel bad about our really long wait and kept apologizing. She gave us complimentary dessert to make it a little better, which we appreciated.

My gf and i live right up the street and always drive by here and tell each we should check it out… We finally came and love the food, staff is so friendly and the music is charming and venice italy-ish. Food is delicious, and hearty portions The home made bread is so soft and warm and crunchy. Just perfect! We like it a lot, its our first time here but will definitely be back… Thank you Sherry for the great service.

Dinner starts with yummy garlic bread, the ranch on the salad always simple but delicious, and the Arancine was a new and tasty treat!

Delicious! My mom and I dined here last night and I still can’t stop thinking about the food. We shared 2 half carafes of wine, a dinner salad, and chicken parmigiana– and we both had leftovers! The service and warm and friendly feel the Restaraunt gives off makes me love this place even more. I will definitely be back!

Amazing!!! We went on a Friday night with 2 kids and an hour wait… what was I thinking. However, we had the best experience thanks to the hostess and the guests in the waiting area. There were plenty of places to sit while waiting for a table. The attentive hostess brought us drinks while we were waiting and my son even asked for bread and she came a few minutes later with fresh hot garlic bread from the oven. While we were waiting we spoke to a lady who had been coming to the restaurant for 30 years and another man who has been coming since he was 15 and now he is a grandpa! They all raved about the food and they were correct. I had the pesto pasta, my son had the cheese pizza and my husband the marsala. Everything was amazing and fresh. The portions are very big so we will be eating this again tonight. We are so excited we found this little gem. We will definitely be back!!!

Delicious italian food! Free warm buttered bread and perfect portion sizes. I’d say to those that did not have a great experience with their staff, the staff is younger and they are fun. I can see maybe an older group of customers may not be use to that but we enjoyed our hostess and servers! We’ll definitely come back! My husband got their lasagna, our friends got just calamari and I got their half cheese ravioli and half meat sauce spaghetti. I’m not sure how but we got a dinner special I guess that came with one ice cream. We’ll definitely come back!

I just finished writing a review for another four star Italian restaurant when it hit me that I had not yet given this place the *****FIVESTARS***** it deserves! Where to start… This place is fantastic from start to finish. My husband and I have dined here about half a dozen times and do not mind making the extra drive time to this neighborhood gem! This place is the epitome of a long time, family run, homecooked, super authentic, mouth watering, no frills Italian dining destination you only hope to find! You truly taste the love put into this food. I pray it never changes, as this is one of our favorites when we want a satisfying meal. In fact, this is the place we compare all other Italian eateries to! The garlic bread is fresh and buttery, just a teaser on how the rest of your meal will unfold. I have tried many things on the menu, and for once do not have a favorite as each entrée I have tried I enjoyed just as much as the predecessor. Chicken Parmesan, Lasagna, spaghetti and ravioli combo, crab stuffed cannoli. The list goes on… Make sure to bring a huge appetite and save room for some spumoni! I’m so happy to give this place five stars!

Yummy italiano. Really enjoyed it from the antipasto to the shrimp scampi. The whole family rocked it. Very relaxing family atmosphere. So glad we chose it based on Unilocal

Great garlic bread! Service was great, our waitress kept coming to fill up our water glasses. The gnocchi dish I ordered was ok, nothing really spectacular about it. I tried my friend’s chicken piccata and it was delicious, so I would definitely come back order that for myself. The crème brûlée was on point! Small restaurant, but it was nice and I will be back. I heard it’s been around since 1962, so that’s cool that there’s history behind it. It was clean as well.

An oldie but a goodie, found Concha through Unilocal.It’s solid good Italian food and everyone seems to know it. I get there by 530 and can still get a booth, yay! But by 630, its table and chairs only and you’ll get one if you’re lucky. My fav is the Carbonara, rich, creamy and deep porky flavor. And their free hot garlic bread is to die for… My hunny and I split a small salad and one order of the Carbonara and still take home leftovers.

If you want fresh, authentic and genuinely handmade Italian fare, you MUST try Conca ‘d Oro! Fresh homemade noodles, crisp flavored and a quaint old world ambiance. The chef is gifted and his food expresses his passion for food and all things Italian. I asked the waiter, whose father opened the restaurant 54 years ago, about the recipes and found that they have been handed down from father to son for generations. And mama Congelosi still comes in daily to hand make the canolli! Sister Bianca also hand makes the Arancine from mamas original recipe(AHMAYZING) every day! A true family affair! Do not miss this place!

What is not to love about this hidden gem Italian restaurant! We were greeted and seated promptly and it was packed with a Saturday dinner crowd. Linda, our server was top notch. She guessed it was our first visit and made fabulous recommendations! Lasagna and gnocchi were spot on with amazing meat sauce. The clam Linguini was a dish right out of Grandma’s Sicilian kitchen. Portions are HUGE! We left with yummy leftovers. Note: this is a local family restaurant. If you are looking for night-life or a hip, trendy euro-style feel, this may not be your Cappuccino. This place has been here since 1960 and it feels like home.
