    It was so nice to visit Little Italy tonight for our wedding anniversary at one of our favorite restaurants, Chiapparelli’s. We love the salads of course, my wife enjoyed the homemade gnocci while I had the seafood chiopino. While we were in the neighborhood, we stopped by Vicarro’s to get some desserts for later! *****

    This was our first time dining and we would definitely go back. The pasta dishes were delicious-freshly prepared and served piping hot. The salads were also fresh, bright and the dressings were a compliment, not overwhelming the flavors. Service was friendly and attentive. We had a high top in the bar area which was a fun vibe for a Saturday night. Nice dinner, no issues. Give it a try!
