Gambino's

Atmosphere: Pretty open and noisy
Food Quality: Quite good.
Food Taste: Usually quite good, mild for Italian
Service: Been there twice, no complaints.
Kid Friendliness: they'll give you a high chair but no crayons.
Overall: We like Tucci's a little better.
Cost: $12 per plate, $5 for kids.
Favorite: Spaghetti/Meatballs

I have a somewhat limited experience with their menu as both times I went there I got the Spaghetti and meatballs. It's pretty hard to mess that up, so I was happy! The last time we went there someone was having a kids' birthday party and it was LOUD! But if you like the tall red-plastic cups full of coke and a boisterous, noisy, music-filled atmosphere, this is your place.

Cafe Lopez

Atmosphere: Fun cultural. Lots of plants and a big fountain
Food Quality: Very good.
Food Taste: Delish! Never had a complaint
Service: So-so, hit or miss on quality, but always very friendly and helpful.
Kid Friendliness: high chairs and crayons! Good kid menu.
Overall: One of our fav places. And I met Felix, the owner when I worked at MBS and he was great!
Cost: $9-$12 per plate, $3.50 for kids
Favorite: Enchiladas, chimis, pollo con crema.... it's all good!

This is definitely a family favorite! We LOVE the bean dip you get with the chips at dinner. I've been there many times with everything from kids to wedding parties and never had any complaints.
