we went out to divey little mom and pop italian place tonight that came highly recommended from some of my baseball parents.
the decor was 1960's finished basement, and tbe service was friendly but very slow. the food was inexpensive and outstanding! worth the wait.
we started with salads and manhattan clam chowder, then a fantastic appy of fried calamari and shrimp with spicy marinara.
next, my boy had a sizzling sirloin (sizzling on a white hot plate with maggi sauce) and a side of pasta; dw had the veal picata, baked spud, and steamed stringbeans; i had the marinated veal chops and a side of pasta.
portions were huge, and everything delicious.
dessert was coffee and a so-so tiramisu.
we'll have to try their pizza soon.
