   You receive good food at a very reasonable price. The noise level is a little high.

   We went there for a Mothers Day date. While I don’t oppose doing all of the menu ordering through a phone, we were never checked on throughout the whole time we’re there. No one ever asked how we were doing or if we needed anything. Nothing. I ordered the chicken fettuccini alfredo and the pasta was very undercooked and the chicken texture was off. It seemed like both came from packages instead of being freshly made. Just a disappointing experience.

   Upon arrival we were noticed by the hostess. She was rude and short with us. I said I had a reservation. She never looked it up. She walked quickly in front if us and showed us to a table a walked away. No menus. A guy, maybe our waiter asked if we knew how to use the QR code. I said can we have menus? I saw other people had them. He went and got us one to share. No one ever took a drink order. We got up and left

   Tomatina is reliably a great spot for Italian food. Their tomato sauce is superb. The portions are large, and it's a good value. Everyone in your party can find a dish to their liking. The service is also, always very good. This place is just a great neighborhood spot, and we're always pleased when we go there.

   It was early on Valentine’s Day - 5:00pm and we entered the restaurant and requested a booth in the back and we’re told no, that’s reserved for a party of 4. They offered a tiny table for 2 - 3’ apart from other tables in the middle of the restaurant. We said we’d like the booth it’s still early and the booth did not have a reserved sign in it. The gal said no it’s reserved tonight for 4. You can have the Hugh top in the bar area or outside. We opted for a tall tabletop as we were tired from moving and walked from our place right up the street. We ordered dinner and relaxed and within 30 minutes the tables we requested were filled by only 2 diners whom we watched enter and asked where they would like to sit-they sat at the tables we had requested 30 minutes prior😐 m. We observed many couple coming in and we’re offered the small tables close together and none looked happy and didn’t stay long. The tall skinny hostess was very rude and did not seem to care about customer satisfaction or us - as customers. Not going back!

    Food was amazing, flavor’s everything on point. Service was great, couldn’t ask for anything else. It’s a little expensive so I won’t be able to enjoy often but the times I can afford it will be nice.

    We found this place on Open table when looking for a place to eat that had pasta. We were pleasantly surprised with the service and excellent food. The price was also affordable. Great experience. Will recommend it to anyone.

    Last minute reservation. Not really needed because the place was practically empty at noon on a Wednesday. Parking however was another matter. Couldn’t find any available spots nearby so had to drop off my guest and search everywhere in Montgomery Village to find a place to get rid of the car. Service was friendly but extremely slow. Lunch for two took over an hour and a half. Most of that time was spent waiting…. For menus, for drinks, for food and especially for takeout boxes and the check. The food was good but nothing special.

    Went out for dinner and started off with the Calamari Fritta which was disappointing. No flavor at all and calamari was chewy. Then had the Bruschetta and this was DELICIOUS!! So tasty!! We loved it!! Then we had the spaghetti and meatballs which was good but the meatballs needed more flavor. We also had the fettucini alfredo with chicken. Again, the chicken was flavorless. We had the lasagna which was good too. It had a lot of sauce but was good. Lastly, we had the beef farfale. This was the best dish ever!! The taste was great and full of flavor.

    Person that greeted us had no time to hear my name on the reservation—he interrupted me when I tried to tell him—he just did not have time to spare on personal interaction. He seated us and told us to use the QR code on the table for menus and to order. There were maybe 4 tables occupied in the restaurant (we were early diners) and staff was busy fulfilling a lot of ‘to go’ orders. We were a foursome of a 92 year old and 3 mid 60 year olds and hoped to have a real waiter. We waited about 3-5 minutes, but no one else appeared to offer beverages so we could also ask for menus, so we decided to leave and eat elsewhere. Only then did the manager appear, but my 3 guests were already out the door.

    We were welcomed by whom appeared to be the manager (male). He seemed friendly, but then as he followed us over to bar and we had questions regarding the Happy Hour drinks and prices, he became what appeared to be impatient and stand-offish. He seemed bored with our inquiries. We were offended. It changed our mind about eating there. We had come to order the lasagna and were excited. He became almost flippant. We decided to go to another place. We might try Tomatina again sometime in the future, but that is questionable.

    The food was amazing, kitchen staff rocks. The waiters were useless, no waiter ever checked on us or even acknowledge us. I had to get up to ask for water and bottle of wine (ordered thru app)for my table from the bartender.The Hostess was amazing she made it happen for us. Otherwise we probably would have left without eating. She literally was running back and forth answering phones, clearing tables, dealing with DoorDash and even helping the kitchen staff and waiters deliver food to the tables. Amazing I wish I had taken her name down. She was apologetic and provided a discount. We understood, it was 4th of July and one of the only restaurants open in town. But I was disappointed in the waiters

    First impression the floor were sticky. No soap in the bathroom or paper towels, only hand sanitizer. Seemed short staffed and difficult to get any server’s attention. My server seemed more interested to get us to order online then help us order in person. My daughter ordered kids veggies, and the carrots weren’t even peeled. They looked old, dirty and dehydrated. The rest of the food was good. I’ve been once before pre covid and had a good experience. I’ll probably give it one more try.

    Well considering that this is a chain restaurant, my wife’s and my expectations weren’t so high but we decided to still try this place out. Unfortunately our expectations may have been over estimated. My wife ordered the chicken parmesan and it was okay (kind of dry but not terrible). I ordered the salmon with rigatoni and the salmon was bland and definitely not fresh. The rigatoni was dry and the alfredo sauce was runny. We also had a caesar salad which was basic with a runny dressing. Then dessert came, the saving grace.....yea not so much. Dessert was a tiramisu unlike I have ever seen. It had so much coco powder caked all over the plate and tiramisu. The texture was mushy and bland... go figure. I am a dessert and sweet tooth guy but even I couldn’t eat this. We had one bite and called it a meal. The service was not the greatest actually it was pretty bad, however it did seem busy and they seemed short staffed. When we ordered a bottle of wine, I also ordered a soft drink but they never brought it out and I had to ask for it half way through our meal. Then they did not bring me out my correct order. So as my wife’s dinner was at our table, mine was just being cooked. My wife wanted to wait for me to get my food but I did not want her food to get cold. They finally brought my food out 15 minutes later and like I said earlier it was very bland and I was disappointed. They never even asked how our meal was or how everything was tasting, not until they brought the check. The only thing about this meal that didn’t disappoint was that they were offering 50% off bottles of Vino (wine). I would say if you are looking to have a couple glasses of wine and no food then this place might be worth a visit other than that I would never recommend place to anyone. One star at best.

    The food was fine. But dining in the parking lot was not awesome (not the restaurant's fault, of course). We had to wait in a long line of people waiting to pick up to-go food to get a table even though we had a reservation. Once we got to the host, he told us to just go find our own table. Wait staff seemed not happy to be there at all. Everything was a challenge. The menu and the three course special was not explained correctly. It took a long time to both order and get food. You couln't get a glass of water or bread or any drink unless you hunted someone down. No one seemed happy there were eat-in customers. What was supposed to be a quick meal went an hour and minutes. Definitely a thumbs down experience.

    Our dinner at Tomatina was lovely. The outdoor seating along the side of the building offered shade, a fresh breeze and a nice barrier to the street noise. Our waiter was attentive and friendly. The garlic knots were so good - I had to take the extra olive oil home to enjoy with more bread! During a very stressful time, that meal and the folks who prepared and served it offered us a wonderful bit of normal and we are truly grateful!
