First time, and we'll be back. We had the chopped salad (basically a chopped antipasto), chicken parm and Gemelle pasta (pesto and basil). The food was obviously made to order and was great. Every dish was big enough for at least two people and we took home the extra portions. Made a great dinner of left overs. Can't wait to explore the rest of the menu (the Pizza at the next table looked and smelled really good). The service was pleasant and helpful...it's a well run restaurant.
