Filomena Cucina Italiana - CLEMENTON

I stopped by for lunch on a weekday afternoon and was promptly seated. The waitress was friendly and courteous, making the experience enjoyable. My food arrived surprisingly quickly, in about ten minutes. I really liked the overall ambiance and the excellent service from the waitress. I would definitely return if I’m in the area and highly recommend this restaurant, especially during lunch hours. Service: Dine-in.

We settled into the bar area, a perfect spot for our casual and soggy attire, and the ambiance was very modern. Now, let’s talk about the food. Wow, it was incredible! Let's start with the mussels. I ordered them diablo style, and unlike many places where “spicy” just means a sprinkle of pepper, these were genuinely spicy! The mussels were fresh, silky, and perfectly cooked—absolutely delicious. I adore mussels but had stopped ordering them because they can be hit or miss. These, however, were phenomenal! I also had the crab-stuffed, potato-crusted salmon, which was flavorful and moist, served in a tasty broth. The teenager at our table had lobster ravioli topped with tons of crab, and even the toddler’s meal was impressive—real chicken Parmesan, not some sad, frozen version. It was a genuine cutlet topped with cheese, and I admit, I may have snuck a bite because it was that good! And don’t even get me started on the limoncello cake! We ordered one to share, and we all wished we’d each gotten our own because it was divine. This was not the typical flimsy, neon yellow, multi-layered cake that leaves you questioning your life choices. Instead, it was a solid two-layer cake, generously filled without being overly runny. The layers reminded me of a delightful combination of angel food cake and the biscuit from a strawberry shortcake—it was absolutely wonderful. I highly recommend this place. Our server, Hugo, was a charming and friendly young man who treated our baby wonderfully. The price was fantastic considering the whole experience. This is one of those restaurants you want to tell everyone about, as you’ll find yourself inviting people out just to go back. I was even daydreaming about a return visit during my workout the next day, and my dining companions have been urging me to go back. What do you know? It’s raining again, and we’re probably going to stop by today!

This restaurant offers a fantastic array of flavors and excellent service. The atmosphere is quietly perfect for a relaxing meal. For dinner, we dined in and spent around $20–30 per person. Overall, I would rate the food a 5, the service a 5, and the atmosphere a 5. Highly recommended!

The Veal Filomena was outstanding! My wife had the lobster ravioli and also found it to be excellent. The service was fantastic, and the restaurant was nice and clean.

I forgot to take a picture of the food, but I really enjoyed my experience. The drink selection was excellent, and the very berry sangria was especially delicious. The service was great as well. I would definitely come back again!
