We have been going to Regino's for many years and have never been disappointed. I do miss their old location, but the restaurant is still owned by the original family, and the menu has not changed. To us, they have one of the best pizzas anywhere. I know of no other pizza where the pepperoni is oblong and thick, because it is cut from the stick. Every other pizza place, including those claiming to be New York Style, has the small, thin, wimpy, round, pre-cut pepperoni. The cheese on the pizza is spicy and rich. When you order toppings such as garlic, you get cloves, not some cheap sprinkles as all the others do. Wake up people! This is REAL, authentic pizza as it should be. Not the bland, watered down junk that many have had all of their lives. You have to be prepared for some real Italian spices here. The pasta dishes are outstanding. Once again, be prepared for a good dose of garlic and a host of other Italian spices. I prefer the angel hair with one of the many varieties of sauces offered, such as anchovy. If you order clam sauce, you get real clams in the shell. Vodka sauce is excellent, too. Try the Spaghetti a la Regino's. It is a mountain of spaghetti with real Italian sausage, green peppers, and melted mozarella over the top. The portions are very generous. The sauces are alive with spices. The salads are enormous, and loaded with pepperoncini, feta cheese, black olives, and fresh greens. You will not believe how good the minestrone soup is. Ask for Rowena, and you will be treated to excellent service. Prepare yourself for REAL Italian food and head to Regino's.
Pros: Real Italian food. Giant portions. Friendly service. Family owned since 1947.
Cons: May be too intense for those used to dull, bland food passed off as Italian.
