I had my heart set on Chicken Parm for lunch. I was extra excited to find the best lunch deal i've seen on the Strip here at Buddy's included chicken parmigiana. Boss' Express Lunch for $22 got us an antipasto, main entree and dessert. For a starter, Grandma's meatballs were tender and sat in a bed of tomato ragu. The much anticipated chicken parm was a little on the dry side but nothing a little more sauce could've helped with. It was just the right amount of food. My heavy lunch was offset by the refreshing lemon sorbet with biscotti. Very strong lemon flavor, it was good! I would also suggest the Panzanella - i tried a few bites and it was a really great salad if you're looking for something lighter to start your meal with.
Fun touches related to baking and family incorporated into the decor. Ceiling lightbulbs encased in mixer whisks, rolling pin structures and at home pictures on the brick walls. Big restaurant and comfortable, family vibe. Huge fan of Buddy's show Cake Boss. Was hoping to catch him but maybe next time!
