“ We frequent intermezzo every Friday night while my daughter takes voice lessons next-door. The food is always exceptional. There is always a wide variety of pizza slices. They are pasta is always cooked to perfection. If you’re lucky enough to meet one of the owners you’ll feel like you’re talking to your Italian grandmother during Sunday meal. This past Friday was exceptional that upon receiving our takeout order when we arrive home we realize that there were some items missing. Before I had a chance to even pick up the phone All missing items were delivered to my door along with a gift card for the same amount that we had spent. I’m so impressed by the customer service and the kindness of the honor for this gesture. Intermezzo has always been one of my favorite places to dine and now it’s one of my well respected places as well. ”
“ Came on a slow Rainy Sunday around 12:30pm, Will was taking care of the bar and taking the orders. I never been around here and it was recommended so I decided to try their Chicken Francaise because I love citrus/lemon flavors. Their Sauce was INSANE and the chicken was incredibly tender. The flavors with each bite, smothered in sauce was heaven in my mouth. I used all the vegetables to slack up any sauce that was left! ”
“ We just ordered a bunch of different dishes for take out from here. We use to live in the area but now live further away so we don't get here very often. It is totally worth the trip. The owner is lovely as is all the staff. The Chicken dishes, Chicken Capri, Chicken Romano and Chicken Parmigiana were all delish!! The pizzettes are so thin and yummy, and they make in house the best salad dressing. It would make anything taste fantastic. The owner was so sweet and gave me a giant container (no charge) to take home when she heard me mention how much we love it! We will definitely be making this trip again soon. Great spot for really great food. ”
“ A friend and I visited Intermezzo on a Wednesday night for dinner. The dining room is small, but it wasn't busy. We sat at a cozy two top. The waitress was young, perhaps new, but very sweet and patient. My friend and I hadn't seen each other in a year, so we were busy talking. We each had a delicious glass of wine, red and white. She had lasagna, I had the chicken parmigiana. We were only able to eat half and brought the rest home. The waitress brought delicious focaccia bread to the table before our meals. Having a seasoned olive oil for dipping would be a great addition to that. All in all, I would definitely visit again. This was my first time of (I predict) many to come. ”
“ Great food I got Chicken Parm with Alfredo sauce. My wife got Lobster Ravioli and the Rice ball everything was great! ”
“ Sooooo delicious! What a nice place! Terry was so helpful! It's small but the food is so good! I don't remember the exact name of the dish in the photo, but I think it's called intermezzo chicken fettuccine. The servings are pretty big. I was happy to have leftovers to take home to have later. Super great place! ”
“ What an incredible experience. My fiance and I recently moved into the area. As lovers of Italian food we decided to check out our local neighborhood Italian restaurant & pizzeria. My parents were visiting so they too joined us. Best decision we made! The service and food here is unmatched. We felt an extreme welcoming from the moment we stepped foot into the place to the moment we left. From meat lasagna to rigatoni alla vodka to chicken & veal parmigiana (and a trial of their juicy, tender, loaded with flavor Ribeye steak!) you won't find meals this good in most restaurants. We will be back and we will be back often. Thank you so much for a superb dining experience! ”
“ Food was was great. Brussel Sprouts and Rice Balls to start we’re awesome. Short Rib Cavatelli was amazing. I might get that every time I go there. Lots of Pizza’s to choose from and they now have a great bar with TV’s. Place was packed and the service was quick and great! ”
