| - I so love that Harley's not only kept the old Roman Table feel (Roman Table was named Olivia's before her son bought her out), but after 6 years, their food still tastes like Olivia herself is in the kitchen making the sauces, instead of walking around greeting everyone. The new owners are very helpful and friendly.
They have changed only the few parts of the menu that could use some updating. Like the Gnocchi (Potato dumplings) plate prepared in a cream pesto or a basil rosata sauce (half marinara & half alfredo sauce) for $11.00.
I had the Chicken alla Panna and it was so very delicious. The sauce was light, not too creamy and very delicious. The tender chicken breast was pounded thin then sauteed (but not overcooked-which is hard to do), served with mushrooms & fresh herbs in a brandy cream sauce. It came with a side of fettuccine alfredo (which was the only -1 star of the evening). The alfredo cream sauce was more like a butter broth and very bland-not one of their best. The plate was a large serving and cost $13.75.
Since I was actually at a Christmas Party (thanks tiffany!) we had a salad and tiramisu as part of our meal. The salad was served with fresh mixed greens, onion (no thanks!), zucchini, carrots and red cabbage. The balsamic dressing wasn't very impressive, but it worked. I added tons of Parmesan cheese to this salad ^_~.
I'm extremely picky about tiramisu since i make a deo one of my own, but this place has it hands down right on the mark. Its so fabulous, not too much liquor & not too sweet. It definitely tasted like the real thing (missing you Chambersburg, Trenton, New Jersey, you were the only reason worth staying! -Its an old Italian Immigrant area famous for the intimate Italian eateries)
I would recommend this place to everyone on every budget because real & affordable Italian food is hard to come by in this town. But please veer away from the fettuccine alfredo (you could probably make a better one at home!)
