In Short
A local fave since 1961, this place is packed with locals and does a booming delivery and carry-out business too. The comfy interior boasts an old-fashioned decor of brick arches, food and wine posters and a smoky bar. The enormous menu covers all the Italian-American bases: grilled shrimp and calamari with roasted red peppers, baked chicken Vesuvio, enormous pasta dishes with fresh, mild tomato sauce, and thin-, regular-, or deep-dish-crust pizzas.
