Another local haunt we used to visit frequently many years ago. Â Tried it again after a friend raved about his usual meal. Â A long time ago it was french fried zucchini, antipasto salad, ravioli or one of the veal dishes. Â Still pretty decent and worth another visit. Â Nothing really changed but the cook bought the business awhile back. Â Wait staff is accomodating and very real, neighborhood type not pretentious.
Opened with Pieroni beer, boy was that reasonably priced! Â Had the antipasto salad and it was exactly the same taste and quality (iceberg lettuce, gorgonzola cheese, salami, mortadella, parmesean chesse, pitted olives, pepperocini, vinegar, oil and spices). Â It met my expectations except they could have at least used romaine instead of an ordinary iceberg. Â Had the homemade veal ravioli with marinara sauce (they were always willing to accomodate a change). Â Again the very same taste and quality. Â Really nice spiced marinara, finely diced veal but the dough was a little thick, nonetheless still good.
Menu on the wall (still has Pasta Roger on it ... forgot what that was) willing to take some minor risks. Â Ambiance is hardwood floors, tablecloths and stucco walls. Â It wasn't busy in there for a Friday night but I imagine it could be loud. Â I've taken dates there but wouldn't consider it romantic, but it's a nice old school neighborhood restaurant.
Again worth resuming take out and another visit .. stay tuned to see if I can raise that rating.
