I love the atmosphere, the décor, and the food in this restaurant! I have been coming to this restaurant for years. I have had birthday parties and fun family meals here. The staff shows first timers the kitchen by walking them through it. They sing happy birthday holding a candelabra at your table. The restaurant has family pictures and vintage Italian items all over the walls. This is a family style Italian restaurant as the portions are large.
On this recent visit, I shared some of my favorite items at this restaurant with a friend. If you like salads that have fruit and nuts in them try the Apple Gorgonzola Salad. It has Granny Smith apples, walnuts, dried cranberries, and Gorgonzola tossed with Italian vinaigrette. We also had the Mozzarella Caprese. The tomatoes were very good and the mozzarella was fresh. I loved the basil olive oil on top.
The Eggplant Parmigiana for an entrée was a hit with me! The eggplant is not too thick or thinly cut. It is topped with basil and mozzarella in addition to marinara sauce.
I don't usually have the offering of red wine, but I was talked into the Allegrini Veronese with my meal. Excellent choice. Great evening.
