Had a great meal at Goodfella's last night. The caesar salad was one of the best I have had and the veal was delicious. Great old school Italian atmosphere and reasonable prices. Highly recommend.

Food was excellent. Service was on point. My only complaint was that the live entertainment was so loud we could barely hear ourselves. I will definitely come back on a night with no music.

Restaurant dining today is generally expensive, and dining at Goodfellas is no exception. Having said this, the cuisine, service and ambiance at Goodfellas is very good. What's more, they've added entertainment (at least since I'd previously been there) that I believe would appeal to a broad range of customers - and give the customer the perception that he is at least getting value for what he's paying for.
