| - What a cool place! The speakeasy theme and the decor, a crooner with a piano singing standards - love it!
This is a GREAT place to bring out-of-towners or go on a date.
I've been here three times. Once on a terrible date that was only salvageable by the happy experience of Capo's, and two other times with my family and friends. My mother loved it - said it reminded her of old Vegas and her boyfriend, super North NJ kind of guy said it reminded him of old Jersey. So it's a coast to coast venue? Dunno, but super Italiano. Has Godfather, Casino, and Goodfellas and all those flicks randomly on in the background with subtitles. Heavy Italian/Mafia decor and themes everywhere. Crystal chandeliers, red booths, cherry/mahogany wood everywhere.
Warning: VERY subdued lighting. The menus have little flashlights on them but they don't always work.
I've had the tortelloni entree which had a very rich, delicious cheese in a generous portion, the salad with giant meatballs (which kinda worked in a way... a little odd but I can't complain a bit about it), and the chicken Parmesan, which was also portioned very well and quite good.
The waiters are all very slick and remind me of being home in NJ in the way that they speak. Although my last waiter kind of blinked when I said I wanted hot coffee in the middle of summer at 3pm. Heh.
