After a recent dinner excursion to Tonelli's Restaurant with my husband and some of his family, I'd have to say that it's a reliable local Italian spot. The overall atmosphere reminded me more of a pancake house than of similarly priced chain restaurants like Olive Garden. What Tonelli's lacks in atmosphere and in service, however, it easily makes up in its variety and quality of entrées and substantial wine list. If you're in the mood for anything ranging from ribs to veal, they've got it. Don't forget to try their herb-infused olive oil provided for dipping. An overall casual but very filling meal, and you're almost guaranteed to leave with a doggie bag.

Tonelli's has lots ups (wide menu, great by-the-glass wine selection) some downs (spotty service), but the place has a very homey atmosphere.The build-your-own pasta bowl has lots of options, and the bread and olive oil are better than average. It's easy to feel comfortable here, and the food comes in big portions at reasonable prices. Not perfect, but still a fun night out.
