Recently I've tried:
Italian hummus: fresh, tasty Italian variation, with a spicy note; served with toasted bruschette; only $3.
Spaghetti & meatballs: large portion very savory; served with both Italian sausage (sweet) and meatballs (very nice).
Veal scallopine parmigiano: 3 tender filets in a lemon sauce. Great.
Hamburger: Stands out; I hear it's one of their most popular items. Perhaps the best I've had in NYC; at $12 it cannot be beat. Order the fries crispy if you do not like non-crispy fries (they're good, though). Diners next to me were jealous when the burger arrived.
Ice cream, chocolate sauce, walnuts: Beautifully presented in a martini glass. Walnuts a bit stale -- a disappointment for a place with their act together in every other respect. Desserts are $7 apiece. Fruit plate was extremely generous, very juicy -- simple presentation on a carved pineapple boat.
Pros: A stand-out, Tell people, Wallet-friendly
