| - D'Agnese's is a delight to have at an affordable price. Its not often enough I get to write such reviews for such wondeful places. You can read my entire review but let me sum it up quickly
Bountiful Poritions, Excellent Service, and awesome atmosphere at an affordable price.
My wonderful GF & I visitd this site a few weeks back after always seeing how busy it is (compared to the competitor directly accross the street) and wondeful smell when driving by.
As soon as we walked in the door we were greeted by pleasant staff who asked us if we had reservations. We said yes and were promptly taken to our seats.
The menu is big....good selection, Many choices and the hostess also briefed us on the nights special plates.
After examining the menu, both agreeing there is a great selection, we chose to go all out. Prices seemed great but we werent sure how the portions were going to be, and let me tell you....they were plenty, especially for 2 people who had litterally not eaten all day.
We started off with soup and appetizers....Italian Wedding & Tomato Basil. I had the Italian wedding and it was quite tasty....mildly oily but nonetheless good tasting and good porition. My date was quite pleased with her tomato basil and i too agreeed that the blend of essence of tomato and basil is my mouth was soothing.
Our appetizers came out with our bottle of Red Wine...which I think was a Zinfindel.....
I ordered stufffed italian sausage peppers and my girl recieved crab cakes.
With these kinds of appetizers, the portions are usually very small and kinda poor quality....not the case here
2 butterflied full size hot peppers overflowing with sausage atop a light tomato sauce marinade. PERFECTION.
The Crab cakes were good....but I think the sausage overshined them. She agreed.
Our dinner plates were Veal Saltimbocca & Pan Seared Scallops with risotto.
The veal was greeat. Amazing portion of veal. scallops perfection.
i forget what the sides were but it was de-lish!
there of course was some table bread in there as well with an olive tapanade type thing (sp?) that was exquisite.
the aromas in the air, the tastes of ALL th food, the crispness of the wine. mmmmmmmm amazing!
We shared Crem Bruleee for dessert and it was the perfect way to end the dining experience.
Highly recommend this place, call for reservations if you can, ALWAYS busy
As a note, I am Italian and I judge Italian food the toughest...not a big fan of chains.....this place does it right!
