Great restaurant , and Bob & Carol Tursi were great to work with for planning a rehearsal dinner _____ years ago. The Latin King is still a special place for our family.
For steak deburgo go to Barattas but for this place of you don't love the chicken spidini there is something wrong with you.
The crispy zucchini was delicious and huge! Ask for Tim for your waiter . He's the best!
Salads , soups , pastas . Everything is good here and a great wait staff .

This is my "seal the deal" restaurant . Great food on every line of the menu. I'm a sucker for their fried chicken livers , but it's a great pasta joint.
Had a disturbing exp. today at lunch Ordered my fav Chicken Spedini &it was served hardly luke warm. Not only once, but TWICE!? Excuse given by waiter was the cooks were busy on their new iphones?!
When in season, the Strawberry Shortcake is a MUST. It's BIG, so plan to share w/a friend.
Cheese sticks are delish, along with the diablo .
Chicken Speidini is what they are known for
If it's spring, two words: STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE! It's like my Mom used to make.
OMG! Don't even look at the menu, Chicken Spiedini .
Get the tiramisu , perfect end to an already great meal!
Chicken Spedini is the way to go here!
Try the fried mozzarella appetizer
STEAK DE BURGO OR GTFO
Steak de Burgo ... Awesome!
Love everythng!!
Great service.... pepper steak not so much.
The hostess this evening and the manager on duty should never be allowed to speak to the public as they have zero sense of customer service and were disgustingly rude.
Left disappointed. Ordered the lasagna and was given a saucy pile of mush. This restaurant did not live up to its reputation.
Their wine recommendations are reliable.
Quality has gone down. Disappointing food but service was good.
