Gondola Pizza & Steak House

I would give more stars if it weren’t for the food. Whoa now… it wasn’t that bad. It’s just the appearance of the restaurant merits the food to be a little better than it is.
The chicken parmesan was breaded just fine but it needed some flavor. I think it was the disappointing red sauce (we’ll get to that in a second) that should have spiced it up a bit. I’m glad they coated it generously with cheese. I love cheese. Being the fine Italian woman that I am of course I grabbed the tableside shaker of cheese to pour on even more of course. The bread rolls were like meh. How am I supposed to sop up the sauce with this? Oh wait, nevermind. On top of this perfectly cooked spaghetti is a red sauce that I have to admit I didn’t love. I don’t think they even used stewed tomatoes or anything. It was like a watery paste with some pepper. Have you been to Cincy? This was like skyline-​chili-​style spaghetti sauce. There’s like 13 things wrong with this, my dear. How am I supposed to explain to my Mama that I ate this?!
The cakes are delicious. They come from a bakery in Athens. The restaurant in here is lovely. Very clean. Open. Spacious. Huge. Really nice interior. Servers wear black and make you feel like a valued customer. Take your guest to dinner here for a treat.
Maybe try the alfredo sauce instead.

Got ripped off on mothers’ day. Sat down and wondered why the place wasn’t that crowded. No menu offered. No explanation for buffet etc. Saw buffet with pizza, salad, a few other hot bar items so ate with my mom and my kids. It turns out that this was the «special» Mother’s Day buffet when I got the bill for $ 13.95 per person. I paid $ 13.95 for my kids to have 3 –4 slices of mediocre pizza and a salad for myself. Normal price for the same buffet was $ 8. Won’t be going back. Ever.

Gondola is a great restaurant for people wanting a chance to have some choice in different styles of food. There are great Greek, Italian, and American style foods. The Gondola chicken is a favorite of mine. If you get there early you can enjoy breakfast and lunch buffets with different foods available each day.

Got a pepperoni pizza, cheese sticks, fettuccine Alfredo. Pizza wasn’t good at all, very greasy, tasted funny. Sauce for the cheese sticks was super runny and super greasy. The Alfredo made my mom very sick to her stomach. We won’t be eating there again.

The breakfast bar is always good. I’ve gotten good serves during the day. They always keep your glass full. The pizzas are excellent and can be addictive. Not that frozen or prepared ahead of time you get with some places. The salad bar has always been well stock and clean. The lunch buffet has great choices too. The Italian dishes that my family and I have tried are very good. Some items are a little over priced but there are many items that fall in a decent price range. It is a great place to go as a group because they have separate rooms for large groups and you can reserve them. Some dishes are large portions, great for my son and I to split. I encourage him to try things beyond the kids menu and this is a great way. I have found that you need to be a little more direct when ordering in the evening. My son was left waiting on his meal while ours was served. The server didn’t turn it in with our order, why I don’t know. I do wish they had more variety for kids. Either kids have about 3 – 4 choices two of which are grilled cheese & chicken strips. Would like to see some of the grown up Italian meals made appropriate for children.

They have a buffet but I chose to order from the menu. The veal was really good & I actually found myself craving it the next day. No complaints here! If we lived in this town, we would certainly eat here often.

Excellent! We found the reviews on Unilocal & chose to try it! We were not disappointed! Food was superb — service was great — & the dessert was off the charts!
