For our main courses, we ordered the chicken Milanese and rigatoni with vodka sauce. The chicken was excellent, with a nice crispy coating and cooked well, although the accompanying sauce was a bit too greasy for my taste. The pasta, unfortunately, was overcooked and too creamy for me, but others in our group enjoyed it. Overall, I think dining in for the full experience and meal will be the plan for our next visit.

Our waitress was very polite and friendly. We decided to order a chef's special salad along with two entrees. As a big fan of chicken parmesan, I was eager to try theirs. However, from the very first bite, I encountered an overpowering flavor that masked the taste of chicken entirely. Despite this, the tortellini served with the chicken parm was excellent, and we also enjoyed the 8-finger pasta. We mentioned to our waitress that the chicken parm had an unusually strong flavor and asked if there were any additional ingredients beyond the marinara sauce. She assured us that there shouldn’t be and went to get the owner, Tony. When he came over, we tried to explain the situation, but he seemed to interpret it as us trying to get a discount, offering to remove the dish from our bill. That made us feel misunderstood, as we weren't seeking anything for free. Unfortunately, if this is the intended flavor profile for the chicken parmesan, it’s unlikely I will return.

This Italian restaurant is fantastic, offering incredible dishes packed with flavor. It can get really busy, but it's definitely worth the wait. The lasagna was excellent, and so were the Chicken Parmesan, ravioli, and everything else we tried. The service was outstanding. This place is the real deal!
