Amedeo Restaurant & Lounge

Pink vodka veal parm all the way

Amazing Italian food! Huge portions and everything is made to order. I love the steak florentine pizza and the meatballs! Great drinks as well

I must admit, the only reason my family and I opted to try this restaurant is because Marchetti's was packed on a Saturday night and we could not find parking. Conveniently, Amedeo is located just across the street from Marchetti's and really proved to be a pleasant surprise. I did not know what to expect or even what type of food they served. The restaurant is small but nicely decorated. You can tell it is newly renovated and possibly the owner's first restaurant. The menu was pretty small, but the prices were VERY reasonable. They serve mostly Italian fare.

We ordered Calamari for an appetizer, on the menu they only had buffalo style calamari listed but our waiter (and I'm thinking he may have been the owner as well) said they would prepare it any way we wanted. We opted for the traditional Mediterranean style, with pepper rings. It was very fresh and we ate every bite. My mother and I ordered the chicken parmesan and my father ordered the veal parmesan. When the food was brought to our table I was amazed by the portion size, definitely up to par with what I would have gotten across the street, without the wait, and dare I say I liked Amedeo's marinara sauce more?! The bar tender also opted to make my father a key lime pie martini, even though it was not on the menu, and my father said it was very good.

This restaurant has potential, you can tell they value the customers input, and are more than willing to make you whatever you ask for within reason. It was pretty dead for a Saturday night so I urge more people to give Amedeo a try and yelp your experience! Oh, and they also do karaoke on Wednesday nights!
