Excellent restaurant! Elegant atmosphere!! Wonderful for a date night or special occasion!!! Everything was great from salads, steak, pasta, to brussel sprouts. It is all delicious. By far one of the best restaurants in the area, if not the best. Coffee and Tiramisu are a must have after your meal.

Despite having reservations, we were put outside on a cold night. There were weatherproof curtains, but they wouldn't close and left a large gap. The food is good but expensive relative to the basic ingredients of meatballs, chicken, pasta, sauce.... Our waiter was young and inexperienced, but did his best to be helpful.

Oh my goodness! WOW! THIS is what all restaurants should be like. It has a beautiful, clean calm restaurant with fantastic service and phenom8nal food! We had chichen fettucinni alfredo & a pizza. Every bite of food was a explosion of flavor! We would give this restaurant a 10 if we could. We will definitely come back. This will be our go to pce for Italian food from now on for sure. I did not take photos while we were there, but I wish I had. The interior is warm & exquisite.

Tried the Tallahassee Mom & Dad‘s for the second time over a several year period. It was more disappointing this time than the first time! Agreed with others that the red pasta sauce is much too sweet. Don’t know why they have to add (so much) sugar to the sauce! Also the side salad was cheap with almost white iceberg lettuce, tho it did taste pretty good once I got it mixed up. Also strange & disappointing they do not offer salt, pepper, spoons, or ask if you want Parmesan cheese on top of your pasta.l! Had to beg & plead for all those things! The wine selection is also the worst ever, ditto for the one in Thomasville. Don’t know how these Italian restaurants don’t know how to provide good wine! I can go buy a better $10 wine at Publix than a $12 glass at Mom & Dad‘s. Way overpriced for the taste/quality of the food provided! I will never eat at Mom & Dad‘s again, at least not the one in Tallahassee. Recommend you don’t go. The only good thing about it was the service + sitting out on the nice porch.

Let me make this nice and short on my review one I am from New York I grew up on Italian food 24/7 and if you can eat at this place you can eat anywhere because it's not real Italian food let's start with their homemade sauce it is the worst sauce I have ever ate it would be a disgrace to the people in New York to the people in Italy then let's start with the veal parmesan first thing they do is cook it then put cheese on it and then that crazy no good sauce on it and here's where it gets bad one they don't fry it with bread crumbs or flour they covered up with cheese and bake it with that crazy sauce I don't know in the right mind how they got a 4.1, rating it should be more like 2.5 a place like that will never make it in business I don't know how they did it since 1963 it definitely wasn't the source of the food now if you look me up you see l do alot of reviews for Google I am very well known with my rating and saving customers time like hitting disaster restaurants like this. So now at the end of my review l say please take your money and save it and don't go here unless you just want to waste it and have a bad evening like we diid on our 50th anniversary and I thank you for the time for reading this

I visited for an evening birthday party on February 16th . The manager on duty was extremely rude and had no concern about the issues that we were experiencing at this establishment. Thanks to the 1 server that had to handle a party for 20 people by herself. Clearly they need to do better, and we're not going back.

Ken the manager made this experience absolutely awful. The waitress spilled drinks on my guest and Ken gets an attitude and chastise us in front of the entire party. I will never come here again.

Despite making a reservation for main dining, the hostess initially attempted to seat us outside on the covered patio. (I had intentionally selected main dining because it was cold and raining!) When I reminded her we'd made the reservation for main dining, she then moved us to a crowded, corner table in a sectioned off area of the restaurant. The food was good but I was honestly too upset with our seating to really enjoy it. The only saving grace for the evening was our server, Caroline, who had the most pleasant smile and was very helpful in making dinner selections. Her personality saved the night.

Everything was great except on our arrival they tried to place us outside on valentines was that busy we had reservations it seems they try to filter the blacks outside and more white insides our waitress Ashleigh was good but the person who took us outside try to give us menu and leave when we ask if there was room inside so my wife had to go inside and ask for inside seating. Took about 5 mins other than that it was ok it just seems like they try to keep it as white as possible when the whites in there we dressed like they came off a ranch or a frat party do better racist

This Valentine's Day dinner was overall very nice. We got their special Valentine's Dinner for two. All of the courses were great except for the Beef Wellington Entree I got. The breading was way too much and the beef was alright at best. Every other course was wonderful. The valet service outside was splendid and so were the workers in-house. Would recommend the place for an anniversary although it is a little pricy.

Good was great. Wendy our server was great. Was a bit surprised by the gratuity included when it was only 2 people in our party. We did eat on day prior to valentines but wish we wouldn't have been charged up front 20% for party if 2,

The restaurant didn't seem busy when we arrived... We waited a few minutes for our table but we were slightly late. Our server greeted us within a reasonable time frame but then vanished for more than 10 minutes between giving us water and returning to take our order. The only explanation was too busy which shouldn't ever be the reason to a guest. The food was very good... My husband and I shared a salad and the stuffed eggplant Parm

We had a lovely time at Mom & Dad's it was our baby daughter's first time in a restaurant, and she was just entranced by our waiter (I believe his name was Garrison). He was prompt but not intrusive. Our food came out hot and delicious, and the Peppermint White Russian was a perfect desert beverage. Highly recommend.
