Nothing special here. The dining room resembles a paneled basement from 1975, including warped, waterstained, and moldy panels. Sticky vinyl tablecloths are a nice touch, though. The food is remarkable only for its' lack of creativity and presentation. Too much marinara, too much cheese. I can't tell if there is anything seasoned under there. Just bland pasta. You can do better in your own kitchen. The palates in Tallahassee must be numb, because this place has been fooling this town into thinking it's good, for years. Save yourself the trip. Anything good about it? There's a nice Chianti on the menu.

The best italian restaurant in Tallahassee. Diana is a great "cuoca". She is from the school of her mother Barbara (mom) nad her father Peppe (dad).
We ate outside near the wood fire and that was very pleasant. The food was excellent, but much too very pricy for the amount of food that was served. Our service was extremely poor - we were with a group but almost the only ones in the restaurant.

Little Italy is owned by a family and ran like a family. Most of the servers remember you every time you come in. The service is wonderful as well as the food. You will never leave hungry unless you get togo food. The food is pretty cheap, especially

We ate here in Dec of 2009 with our three children. We all had a great experience and the food was very good. It is a higher priced meal but worth it. Owners were very nice. Will be going back for our date night soon with out the kids!

This is classic Tallahassee dining at it's finest. Mom & Dad's is a Tallahassee institution, serving up fine Southern Italian cuisine which is first rate. No one can hold a candle to Diane (Mom Violante's fine marinara sauce. Eggplant Rollatini is divine. Ambiance is quaint at best, but boy the food is out of this world.
