I would just like to start off by saying if you are thinking of having your next party or event at Filomena's- the answer is 100%, YES! Filomena's has been a restaurant I have been coming to with my boyfriend for well over 5 years! We have tried the entire menu and love everything they have to offer, especially the seafood bisque and their bread and peppers! We always have a pleasant experience with all of the staff; especially Andrea, who always goes the extra mile to make sure we are happy !! When it was suggested that I have my baby shower at Filomena's, I did not even hesitate to say yes. Over the weekend, I had my shower with 65+ people and it was (without a doubt) perfect... Graziana and her staff went above and beyond to make sure everything went perfectly. Charlie was our waiter and he made it look so easy waiting on so many women. He made sure to ask questions and check on our entire party constantly. Besides the excellent service, the food was PHENOMENAL(per usual.)The salad was fresh, all our food came out perfectly seasoned, cooked and most importantly hot, even though we were a larger party. Over all, I can say I plan on having all of my future events at Filomena's based off of how perfectly my event went and how well I was treated!! This restaurant definitely makes you feel like family.

Never had a bad meal or experience here! It's a solid, non chain Italian spot that serves big portions for reasonable prices. You won't leave hungry and you'll enjoy your food.

Mother's Day early dinner for party of 10. My hubby was able to get a reservation a week before and the restaurant was accommodating. Upon arrival we were seated quickly, the restaurant tables are small and the space can feel tight. When we arrived it was not crowded but around 4:30-5 there was a line. They provided bread for the table and butter. We ordered the cheesesteak egg rolls and calamari; both were delicious. I ordered the chicken parm which came with a side salad and angel hair pasta. My meal was good. I was craving a good chicken parm so I was content. My only con is our waitress was quite forgetful. We had to remind her several times of drink orders, food orders and take home containers. We ordered dessert to go and thank goodness we checked it before leaving because she gave us the wrong cake TWICE. Overall a decent experience and reasonably priced.

BADDA BING! This was a nice treat for my daughters Bday. We had mozzarella appetizer and wow the cheese was creamy tasty. The calimari was good and soft with a crispy exterior. The garlic bread and eggplant with peppers - fugget about it! It was mamma Mia delicious. YO the seafood bisque was unreal as was the minestrone. The salad had a tasty dressing. My chicken Florentine was delicious. My other half had the chicken picante which was equally delicious. My daughter had the chicken pesto. WOW all three were home runs. You got to try this place! Sooo full and sooo content!

OMG - 2010 was my first review here!!! Wow, how times flies! You know when something is right in your "back yard," but you just don't seem to go there? This is the case w/ Filomena (Blackwood)! For some odd reason, I hadn't been here in MANY years, and it's about a ten minute drive from my house! (We actually frequent their Berlin location more). On this Friday eve!, we mainly came to see a music duo (Lisa and Joe). They were sensational, as was our food. I had a (rare cooked) steak dinner salad that was just perfect and delicious. My dad had the same, but with medium cooked steak, and a different dressing than mine. He loved his as well. Joey only had a (chicken) meatball app. He really enjoyed it (I didn't feel like trying it, mixing with my steak taste that I wanted to savor!) My mom had their Vodka rigatoni. She said that it was very good (I was initially skeptical b/c the sauce was a darker color than what I'm used to); it was also a big portion (she didn't finish it). We had a blast dancing, mingling, and just, well - enjoying life :) I'm looking forward to a future duplicate time!!! (I forget our server's name, but she was excellent in all ways)
