text: I moved to Bloomfield in April and being Italian and loving Italian food I thought that Little Italy would be a good fit I was wrong Until tonight I have found that every Italian restaurant I have tried has left much to be desired from Dels atrocious food to the over hyped Pleasure Bar I had not found an Italian joint I likednnLombardozzi I have not clue why I had not tried you until tonight I had tried their meatballs during Little Italy Days and really enjoyed them but always forgot to head down the block to try a whole mealnnWe started with calamari and it was fried t to perfection and no rubbery feel which is a positive because of places outside the east coast cannot to calamari to save their livesnnI had the gnocchi with red sauce only sauce option which kind of irks me because gnocchi is great with a pesto with meatballs The gnocchi is homemade and to die for and the sauce is pretty good too I am a sauce snob nobody beats my mothers or grandmothers and the meatballs were as good as I rememberednnGreat food experience but the service was at best bad The waitress took over five minutes to get our drink order and just kind of seemed annoyed at the whole working thingnnI will be back because there is no Italian food in Bloomfield that even comes close to Lombardozzi
