| - We first dined at this small southern Italian restaurant in December. We started off with a family sized serving of pasta fagioli which was good, but a bit tame to suit my taste buds. Our entrees were eggplant parmesan, a family recipe of the chef, prepared without breading that we found to be both ample and delicious. I used a $25 certificate purchased at a discount from a local radio station.
12/08 The owner/chef once owned the highly regarded, now defunct, Marc's Italian Steakhouse, but sold it a few years back and opened the slightly larger Mezzo. We ordered pasta faglioli - family style, but were informed the kitchen was out of it this evening, so we settled on minestrone listed as a special. It was reasonably good, but the portion size was exceptionally small and a total rip off at $7 per bowl. Ms. Westie's entrée was a very large portion of eggplant parmesan, a family recipe, prepared without any breading. I chose the spinach lasagna with a tomato vodka sauce which was equally bountiful and delicious.
