Enzo’s Italian Chop House

2 stars for okay food that is overpriced for the location. The guy that runs the desk is rude and I cannot understand why he is still there. The bands are usually good and I guess that’s how they stay in business. The owner needs to work on customer service also.

Great food and server. I will say Marcus was not the most personable person and we were not very impressed by the 3.00 cover for just walking in the door, but our waitress was amazing and the food was awesome!!! We ordered the mussels with white wine sauce, loaded filet minion and a bottle of California wine. I may be partial but it was delicious! We made reservations for a couple weeks from now and will defiantly be back. Don’t let the strip mall or lack of hospitality as you walk in fool you the food is delicious and worth the drive in my opinion.

Had a nice dinner at the bar, veal marsala, linguini with white clam sauce, different but good! The place was MOBBED, live band playing in a tent outside, so dinner took a while, but still friendly and casual. Nice place!

I took my family for a special birthday dinner to celebrate my son’s 20^th. We had steak, seafood, and veal dishes. They were flavorful but expensive and it took a long time for the food to come out. My son sent his steak back and it took a long time to get another one. There was no inquiry from the management or offer to comp his meal. Overall the other dishes were good. It was fairly empty for a Friday which is worth noting. Creative menu and generous crab dip appetizer. There is not much else to choose from in the area in the way of fine dining. Nice wine selection.

I’m on the fence on this one. On one hand, the food is good. Try the seared tuna… it was fantastic and had a nice presentation too. On the other hand, the ambiance is not much to speak of – especially if you have children; they seat you right next to the kitchen in that case. Another thing I found odd was the following: given the reviews below, we made a reservation. When we were seated, I asked the host if we could watch the band play after we finish our dinner. The answer was, «I don’t know, we get a lot of reservations». Umm… we had a reservation, so that was a weird answer. So, I took that as a «no» and we left after dinner. On a separate note, it was kinda strange that the host who seated us was also our waiter. I guess they’re cutting costs wherever possible.
To sum it up: the food is good, but I don’t think we’d be back with kids. We didn’t get a «kid friendly» vibe.
This review is somewhere between 2 and 3 stars.

Overpriced, poor service and food quality is not that good. The bands must be what keeps this place open…

Overpriced middle of the road food. Have a hard time paying $ 15 – 20 for pasta. Drinks are expensive as well. The outside patio has some good bands and can be fun but again overpriced drinks.

We wanted to eat on the patio and listen to Spectrum Band. Marcus would not accept a reservation for three tables of ten people, insisting we each had to make our own reservations,. We did, in groups of two and four. After paying $ 3 admission to eat on the patio, only six people had reserved tables. Marcus told the ‘single people’ to sit ‘over in the corner’ and the rest of our party had to stand in the back. Really? Most of us either left after bring tired of standing or ate quickly and left. Enzo’s lost a lot of future business due to his actions.
The pasta was barely warm and of too small a serving size. I drove through the next door McDonalds on the way home.
No way to run a business.

Although it says not open for lunch. They are. We were the only family there but they took good care of us. Apparently it is very popular at night. But it was an enjoyable quick lunch. We were just passing through on our way back to Florida.

Service and food was wonderful, we had a large group and was taken very good care of.

It is best not to eat at this place. Just go there for the bands on the patio. The white haired host/​owner is very unfriendly. The food is high priced in my opinion and not enough of it. The food is just not all that great and neither is the «fine dining area».
Happy hour well drink prices are higher than normal drink prices closer in, so be prepared to just drink beer in the bottle all night.

We came here to listen to the band. The band was great! Sorry to report that I didn’t like the fried shrimp because it was over cooked… Dry. Service was fine. My first time here and was looking forward to good food. Wasn’t impressed with the food.

The evening started with a drink in the bar which was not a light pour. I’m thinkin we’re off to a good start. We shoulda stopped there. We had reservations that were not required as there was only one couple in the restaurant… That should’ve been a clue. Waiter was nice, engaging and friendly as well as attentive. Ordered calamari as an app. The sauce it came with was way to salty and the calamari itself was a bit rubbery slightly over salted batter. The bread was great! Came nice and warm with a honey butter very good. Ordered a salad with a vinaigrette dressing and a ribeye steak, veggies and their special mashed potatoes.
The salad was fresh but the dressing was like a deluded dressing with only a hint of flavor. Had to add oil & vinegar that was for the bread. The ribeye was cooked right but the rub or seasoning was a bit overpowering I had to take a bite of potatoes and meat together to calm it down. Sad because the beef was suppose to be shipped in from a famous ranch. Prices were moderate $ 24.00 for the steak and sides.
Anyway I wouldn’t go back or recommend it if I were asked.

We have had the opportunity to eat at probably about 20 independent restaurants in the area since moving here earlier this year and I would rate this in the bottom 3 or 4. It wasn’t necessarily a bad experience, but was pretty consistently so-​so.
Here’s how I came to that underwhelming conclusion. We came to the place and to enter had to go through «smokers alley» at the entrance, about 4 patrons on either side of the entrance were assisting the ambience aromatically. The next clue was that although this was quite early on a Friday evening and the place was only about 25% full the host made quite a performance about our lack of reservations for the evening and made us wait 5 – 10 minutes prior to seating us. Following that however the service was fine. We both ordered a glass of wine from an ok wine list and ordered our entrees. My wife ordered the risotto special and I ordered a steak. The steak was of decent quality but came significantly over cooked (yes, there really is a difference between medium rare and medium well) and the risotto was fine, if a bit bland.
I really want to like this place, because it is so convenient for us and we will probably give it another try at some point hoping that we just caught an off night the first time out.

We stopped in to check out the bar. We were thinking of maybe ordering a little food too. However, after waiting over 10 minutes for the waitress to come and take our order for two bottles of beer. we just decided to go elsewhere to eat. The bar was pretty much just blowhard grey haired men drinking their martinis and manhatans. It was a stuffy, snobby environment. The beer was cold enough I guess. but seriously, any decent bartender could have gotten us served sooner. The place wasn’t that busy. maybe 15 patrons tops. After seeing the other reviews, I am glad we didn’t waste money on food there.

First visit here. Competent but not remarkable.
Host guy was just awkward. He made us uncomfortable with his comment that most of their tables are reservations. Didn’t make us very welcome.
Our server, Katie, was very knowledgeable about the menu and specials. She was friendly, attentive, and professional. She knew a lot of the regulars. We liked that. We ordered almost exactly what she recommended and were happy. Weird that the risotto special didn’t come with anything. Want a dinner salad? Gotta pay extra. Meh.
I have little understanding of the difference between the patio, café, and dining room.
We would probably return. But not in any hurry.

My wife and I ate here on Friday evening after several people advised they had enjoyed their meals here.
To start, it is in a strip mall — which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but the interior was also «strip mall like» — which for me means more pizza parlor than fine dining as far as ambiance goes.
When we arrived, we stood at the hostess station for a bit without so much as an acknowledgement from the host, an older gentleman. When he finally spoke to us, it was not a greeting but a stare — as if to say «what do you want», without actually speaking. When he did speak, the only thing he said was «do you have a reservation». We said we did not. He hrumphed a little and said to follow him, where he led us to a little table in front of the kitchen door, sat our menus on the table and turned around and left. There were 5 other empty tables, several of which remained empty all night. At this point, I was content to turn and leave, but my wife is always a little more gracious — so we stayed.
The waitress was cordial as she advised of the daily specials. We opted for an appetizer and some wine. The waitress was a little perplexed when we asked her to just start the appetizer, we would decide on the main course shortly as we were in no hurry. Oddly, she advised she would see if that was allowed by the kitchen. WTF???
Thankfully, that was allowed!
We started with the clams casino appetizer which was ok, not great. A little dried out, but tasty. I then had the wedge salad. Really tasty with bacon, blue cheese and tomatoes — except there was a big portion of the wedge that was brown! — So I just left that behind.
We had two of the specials for dinner — the shrimp and scallop risotto for my wife and the Tile fish over spinach and a cornmeal cake for me. They were both huge portions that were cooked perfectly and tasted great. The risotto was especially good with the scallop, bacon and cheese combo!
The cannoli for dessert was unremarkable as was the coffee. The chef came out to make his rounds of the tables, there are obviously many regulars that dine here. He was very nice and we enjoyed chatting with him although we never got his name. He explained that most everything was made from scratch, except the cannoli.
As we were finishing our coffee and wine, the band began to play out on the patio. We felt a little rushed by the waitress, so we finished and left.
The price was reasonable for the food, but for me eating out is about the overall experience. If it were just about eating, I would eat at home — so in that sense it was a little pricier than I would have expected. In that context, I only gave three stars because of the atmosphere and the very rude host. You never get a second chance at a first impression — choose your host wisely!
Too soon to say if I will go back.

Really yummy! They have the best steak options, pasta, chicken you name it. I tried the escargot, for the first time, and it was really good. Who knew? I highly recommend this place. There are 3 options for food. You can eat in the fine dining area, bar side, or patio. The patio does have a different more limited, grill, options. Good times!

The bar is now non-​smoking!!! Woo hoo! It’s so great to finally not leave this place and smell of TOBACCO!
On a side note… I somehow ended up here last saturday night. Was fed copious amounts of deliciously fried food (chicken tenders, ravioli, and potato skins) it was so freaking good that I didn’t even remember being there the next day.
:)

I’ve been here 3 times now, the first two occasions were impressive, the food was good.
Last week went again, my husband chose the risotto, I opted for 2 appetizers rather than an entrée. He had 2 cocktails I drank water. the bill was $ 77!!! and $ 25 of that was the risotto. I have to say that I think $ 25 for a ristotto is extortionate.
My crab manicotti was nice, but unremarkable.
The fruit cobbler was good though. I don’t mind paying for good food but this meal was not worth what we paid for it.
