Proudly celebrating 44 years, the Testani family welcomes you to Filomena's, as they would welcome you to their home. Truly a family affair, it is run by brothers Mario and Frank, their sister Mariann, Frank’s daughters Marina and Daniela and their brother Dominic. Grandparents and founders, Domenico and Filomena, are originally from a suburb outside Rome. The talented kitchen team uses Grandma’s traditional recipes which she brought here from her family in Italy and grandpa makes the focaccia fresh daily. Mario, who runs the front of the house with Frank, also works in the kitchen creating new ideas for specials.


The menu offers authentic Italian dishes made to order, from scratch, using the finest quality ingredients. They are known for their chicken dishes, seafood specialties like Chilean sea bass, homemade lasagna, and grilled lamb chops. We enjoyed delicious shrimp oreganata and eggplant rollatini appetizers; hearty chicken marsala; delicately prepared  branzino; and homemade gnocchi topped with rich bolognese sauce for our entrees. They will accommodate special requests including gluten free. Homemade desserts include their sensational Italian cheesecake and excellent tiramisu. International wines are reasonably priced, there are fine Italian labels, and top shelf liquors are offered.


Warm and inviting, with earth tone and bronze color scheme, Filomena’s is made up of different comfortable dining rooms. The first room has banquette booths, a large gold framed mirror, wrought iron sculptures, and a display of their homemade desserts. French doors lead into the main dining room which has rich woodwork, chandeliers, curtains, framed mirrors and paintings, and there’s carpeting throughout. Two party rooms open to one huge banquette space to accommodate large gatherings of all kinds from anniversary and birthday parties to business dinners. Service is gracious and friendly as you would expect from Filomena’s, where many customers are regulars. The motto here is “Celebrate Life and Love” with family and friends.
