Family owned since 1933, Iaria's Italian Restaurant serves southern Italy-style food featuring homemade sauce and pizza. Now in its fourth generation of family members, Iaria's still cooks spaghetti sauce with Mama Antonia's recipe.
Plenty of pasta dinners are offered along with traditional pizza pies. Standards like spaghetti and meatballs are popular as well as a hearty array of meat-filled sandwiches and the signature chicken piccata. Servings are often so large that diners take home leftovers.
A full bar and a selection of traditional Italian desserts like spumoni and tiramisu are icing on the cake.
Loyal locals who came to the restaurant with their parents decades ago are now bringing their children and grandchildren. It's that kind of place. Décor a bit outdated. Noise sometimes a bit much. Servers can be rushed. But for some it's a family tradition. A restaurant can't stay in business this long without doing something right to draw folks back time after time.
