| - So based on the Yelp reviews, I ventured into this establishment. My 3 Star rating is solely based on the family that runs it. Great people! Great attitude and service.
The food is actually mediocre at best, not really what I expected after the stellar reviews on Yelp. Breaking it down:
BYOB - no problem, brought a great bottle
Table bread - excellent and flavorful, would have rocked had it not been served cold
Appetizer - cheese wheel, again very very good with a nice marinara to dip it in
Wedding Soup - over the top bland and unimpressive
Veal Parmesan - See my pic. Veal was really over breaded and over fried. the sauce was sparse with very little cheese. the noodles were mushy. the sauce was watered down. not much sauce or cheese on top. For the record, it was not bad, just average. I added salt, pepper and grated parmesan in picture.
One Yelper said the portions were generous, I think my pic disputes that claim. The restaurant does NOT have that old skool Italian feel like another Yelper mentioned. It is small and very bright, not dim and dark - usually a candle on table like the traditional Italian restaurants have. Also, I asked for grated parmesan, it was brought it a pizza style shaker jar.
