I hadn't been to Reggio's in years, but we bought one of those half off deals and had $20 that was about to expire so we decided to stop in for dinner on a random Tuesday night. Â The place was packed (apparently everyone else had the same idea about cashing in their certificates before they expired).
Just so everyone knows, this is a smoking establishment (must be 18+ to enter), which I normally try to avoid, but was pleasantly surprised with the ventilation. Â It seemed to be smokier near the bar (makes sense) and was more tolerable once we were seated.
We were greeted warmly at the door and told it would be a 20 minute wait so we grabbed a seat at the bar and ordered drinks ($1.50 draft beers!). Â We were seated at a table in less than 10 minutes.
They were definitely busy and our waitress confirmed it was because of the half off certificates. Â However, the service was great and while we may have waited a little longer than necessary, we didn't mind since we were enjoying the atmosphere and conversation.
We both ordered pasta dishes - lasagna for him and spaghetti carbonara with chicken for me (new item on the menu) and both were wonderful. Â The entrees included their house salad which was loaded with meat and cheese and lightly dressed with their house dressing.
It took awhile for the entrees to come out, but our waitress checked in with us and kept our beverages full - it was definitely worth a little extra wait time.
The menu is very reasonable priced ($12-14 for our entrees including salad with plenty of leftovers to take home) and service was great...and most importantly, Reggio's is locally owned. Â We will definitely be back!
Reggio's was my favorite restaurant when I lived in the area. Â It's a 21 and over only establishment (unless you book the banquet room) and it's a nice break from corporate restaurant hell. No screaming babies, no kids running around. Â The servers let you take your time. This is a restaurant for grownups.
The prices are very reasonable for the quality of the food. I highly recommend the chicken scallopini. Â I always get good service, and this last visit was as memorable as the first. Â
Reggio's isn't dressy, but it doesn't have a "bar" atmosphere as compared to many other Mishawaka establishments. I would feel uncomfortable there in a hoodie or flip flops. The staff is professional, and even if you are seated next to the kitchen doors, you don't hear cursing, yelling and only very rarely hear dishes crashing. The lighting is lower like restaurants used to be- THANK YOU REGGIO'S- and they still put candles on the tables. Nice touch.
The only reason I don't give it five stars is because I don't like plastic tablecloths and paper napkins.  I may be a snob about it, but  that's just me missing the old days before everything became so disposable.  I will go back every time I return to the area for a real and relaxed Italian meal.
