4.5 stars. Very good American Italian food. Great service. This is place is food porn.
This is a small cozy place with an old school vibe. The next time I have to whack some one I will do it here. It is a pretty small place so I recommend reservations as it was filling up around 4:00 pm on a Sunday. I have been here 2x. My god every thing looks amazing. Huge bowls of pasta and main plates flying out of the kitchen
Lets start with the bread. It is served warm with a home made seasoned whipped butter. I think it may be an Orlando bread that is baked in house. Very light and flaky. The butter has a light garlic taste and some herbs.
Next the fried calamari. It was lightly breaded and fried perfectly. Every piece just melted in my mouth., no chewyness. The marinara sauce was quite nice with plenty of visible herbs and tomato chunks. Some of the best calamari I have tasted. Next time I will try the sauteed calamari next time. I can tell it was made in house and not some mass produced over breaded Sysco product.
The entree came with a choice of soup and salad. I chose the salad as soup would have been too much of a good thing. It was a standard small dinner salad. I flavored it with balsamic and olive oil . No big deal.
The chicken and veal Parmesans where excellent. Fried perfectly. The breading is just a tad too thick hence the 4.5 stars, none the less it was fabulous. Same sauce as the calamari. So much food.
The side of spaghetti that came with it was pretty dam good as well. It tasted like it was home made. Almost a little creamy. I think they may have finished the spaghetti in a pan with olive oil and some of the sauce as I could definitely taste the olive oil. I added a healthy shaking of red pepper and it was Amore!
I was able to take 1/2 , my food home, Service was great, and the food came out quickly and very reasonably priced for the quality and portion size.
I will be back, arrivederci!
