Read moreThe pizza is great. True NY style pizza through and through. Freshly made, perfectly cooked. It's great. The rest of the dishes that I've had (spaghetti with sausage and peppers, lasagna, pontevecchio , chicken marsala) have all been bland and mediocre for my palate. The lasagna had no discernable seasoning, including salt. No oregano, chili flakes, veal stock in the grave, nothing. The sausage tasted like ground pork. The chicken marsala barely tasted of the wine and the earthy mushroom flavor was non-existent. The pontevecchio didn't have any obvious crab in the sauce, but maybe it was mixed in. I could taste garlic, cream and salt and it was kind of rich so maybe the crab flavor was there, but again, no earthy mushroom flavor.
Now, let's be clear. THESE DISHES WERE NOT BAD. They were just bland (to me). They are perfectly safe choices if you do not have an adventurous or terribly discerning palette. Honestly, (except for the lasagna) the food was on par with most of the Italian food I've had in SE PA and Jersey at this price point.
I'll go back for the pizza, but I think I'm done trying the...
Read moreA restaurant with a real split personality, a humble pizza / sub shop up front, with fine italian food in the rear (okay, it's the same menu no matter where you sit). Meals start with a bread basket (squares of tomato pie and rolls). Soup of the days was Escarole w/ meatballs (Italian Wedding Soup) and was delicious. The Fettuccine Bolognese with a blush sauce was also delicious. Perhaps the curse of anyone with Italian in their blood, people end up comparing food to their own families cooking, and in that regard I found the eggplant parmigiana lacking (not that I fault them for it). Appropriately enough there is a "mom" keeping her eye on things, making sue everyone's happy. Business seems to have picked up since the Carabba's in the front has closed. Sitting in the front you get to watch them hand spin the pizzas. They were also cranking out 30" round pizzas (which works out to more that 3x the size of 16" pie - I think I know what we're getting next...
