Diners “never leave hungry” from this “popular” Italian in North Palm Beach that would be right at home in “NYC”; the food’s “reliable”, and since the portions are “family-style”, it’s little wonder that it’s a “great place to take the kids.”We went anyway with our friends Barry and Dorothy who have a home in the area. The restaurant was very comfortable and we had a great table in a little nook of our own. Overall, the food was just adequate, prepared with too much sauce and salt. More importantly, the portions were large, even when shared. Unfortunately, we succumbed, and overate even thought the food was un-memorable.
We shared an appetizer of Sausage with Broccoli Rabe. The sausage was good but the Broccoli was overcooked and stringy with too much olive oil. Chris would have been happy with a salad but I love sausage.
Our main course was "Country Chicken" - small pieces of chicken (on the bone the way we like it) sauteed and served with sausage (again), potatoes, mushrooms and peppers. It reminded me of Cacciatore but was too oily and salty.
We shared a nice Chianti Classico
And shared a Tartufo with our friends for dessert. It was large enough for 4, but seemed like a standard commercial preparation.
This time our “Restaurant Challenge” will not be a challenge!
