Spirito's Restaurant

A well known Italian Eatery that has been around for a long time. Menu includes salads, pastas, pizzas, appetizers and entrees. If you opt to get a salad, get the garlic dressing. One note: when ordering a pie here, request it be made a little well done. Nothing beats the char that forms around the crust, and when this is mixed with just the right amount of sauce near the rim of the pie, is one of the most pleasant flavors one can experience. The raviolis are soft and pillowy and they actually melt in your mouth. The epic veal cutlet Parmesan is a champion meal, with a side of ravioli. Epic is in the title of this dish for good reason. The four layers of lightly breaded, pounded thin veal, in between (yet another) sweet sauce, layers of mozzarella cheese, served in a boat of what can only be described as saucy, slightly browned, bubbling cheesy goodness easily makes this a "death row last meal." The decor (no windows in the dining room and old-time family photos; same tables, lighting, and booths since the opening in the 1920's--or maybe 1910s); has to be covered. It's a fun place to watch a Yankee game in the bar area on a work night.
