Capisce Trattoria — Restaurant in Parsippany-Troy Hills

As a CPA, I understand how business's can hide cash transactions and I'm a big proponent of one paying their fare of taxes owed, so charging a fee for using a credit card goes against the grain. So we stopped going there. We gave it another try when it changed names again, but it was the same old song, increased prices, and a credit card fee. Their shrimp cocktail cost $15.00 for 4 jumbo shrimp, which were...
