Each time you enter, you are greeted by a chorus of smiles as you are led to your table. The restaurant offers an extensive menu of items \u2014 a blend of traditional home-cooked favorites and robust Greek-inspired dishes, sure to please everyone.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pizza is always a crowd-pleaser, and Gondola proudly serves fresh, hand-tossed pizzas with a variety of toppings. The \u201cHouse Specialty\u201d is a blend of melty cheese, onions, green peppers, Italian sausage, beef, pepperoni, and mushrooms. It is cooked to perfection with a beautiful cheese pull and a crispy, chewy crust. The balance of salty cheese, savory meats, and fresh vegetables is a symphony of flavors in every bite.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My daughter opted for a simple pepperoni calzone. The bubbly crust encapsulating melty cheese and spicy pepperoni led to a bite so perfectly ooey-gooey and greasy that she had to use a fork and knife to indulge herself. The side of marinara was perfect for dipping and getting a flawless bite every time. We highly recommend the pizza and calzone options for your next family night out!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Gondola is known for traditional Greek dishes as well, my husband opted for the gyro plate and Greek salad. I will be the first to admit that while I love vegetables, salad is low on my list of go-to dishes, but the Greek salad was incredible. The crisp vegetables, salty Kalamata olives, and herby dressing was superb in every way \u2014 but good as it was, the gyro was the star! With its fluffy, warm pita bread, grilled seasoned strips of beef and lamb, and a drizzle of creamy, tangy tzatziki sauce, the gyro transported our taste buds to another world!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although we quickly realized our eyes were far bigger than our stomachs and were already laden down with multiple to-go boxes, we just had to order dessert. Our server showed us the various cakes that are special ordered but was sure to tell us that Miss Connie herself made the most amazing strawberry cake, and they had some slices left \u2014 sold! All three of us shared the enormous slice of strawberry cake, and it was the perfect way to end our meal. The cake was light, not overly sweet, and incredibly decadent and luxurious. Be sure to save some room for dessert! Next time I visit, I have my eye on a slice of the traditional baklava, but I was out of room on this trip.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The attentive staff, fresh, house-made food, and a history of local excellence have solidified Gondola Restaurant as one of our go-to locations for a family night out. With so many options on the menu, we can go back again and again, continually trying original new options and discovering new family favorites along the way. <strong>GN&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GONDOLA RESTAURANT is a family-owned and -operated restaurant serving delicious food and small-town charm.
