A
very
spacious,
clean,
and
comfortable
Italian
Restaurant
with
great
menu
items
for
anyone.
Upon
entry
(4:30pm
reservation)
the
lighting
appeared
as
though
they
weren't
seating,
yet.
However,
we
were
greeted
and
taken
to
sit
at
our
table
right
away.
Once
in
the
dining
area,
the
lighting
was
just
right.
Within
minutes
a
pleasant
server,
Sandy,
took
our
drink
orders
and
gave
us
ample
time
to
ponder
over
the
menu.
We
enjoyed
a
carafe
of
wine,
a
beer,
and
our
water
glasses
were
kept
refilled
nicely.
Beginning
salads
with
a
house
creamy
Italian
dressing
were
delicious
and
perfectly
portioned.
The
soup
of
the
day
was
a
turkey
noodle
and
I
was
told
it
was
a
tad
on
the
salty
side.
Our
plates
included:
BAKED
LASAGNA
which
was
a
good
size
portion
for
a
hungry
man,
to-the-tooth
pasta,
beef,
pork,
ricotta,
topped
with
meat
sauce
and
mozzarella
cheese,
and
baked
to
a
perfect
golden
brown.
Char-broiled
(double)
PORK
CHOPS
which
tabled
on
a
sizzling
hot
platter.
Thick
cut
and
marinated
with
a
fantastic
flavor
of
house
seasoning!
We
ordered
a
double
enabling
us
to
take
the
2nd
piece
home
for
another
dinner.
However,
there
is
so
much
meat
I
took
home
1
1/2
chops!
Ripa's
correctly
claims
to
have
the
Most
Popular
Pork
Chops
in
WNY!
Cannot
wait
to
have
the
left-overs!
The
side
small-red
baked
and
cut
in
half
potatoes,
and
applesauce
made
for
a
very
enjoyable
meal.
FETTUCCINE
ALFREDO
was
to-the-tooth
noodles
in
a
very
flavor
full
creamy
homemade
sauce
and
the
portion
was
good
for
a
hungry
man,
as
well.
FRENCH
ONION
CHICKEN
was
two
beautiful
cutlets
sautéed
perfectly
in
sherry
wine
with
caramelized
onions,
atop
angel
hair
pasta
with
a
beautifully
browned
covering
of
Swiss
and
mozzarella
cheese.
Sandy
checked
whether
we
needed
anything
just
the
right
amount
of
times.
No
annoying
over-service.
The
deserts:
LEMON
ITALIAN
CREAM
CAKE
was
such
top
quality
to
be
fit
for
a
King;
moist
cake,
great
lemon
flavored
cream
inside,
and
sprinkles
of
confection
sugar,
with
a
dab
of
whipped
cream.
NEW
YORK
STYLE
CHEESECAKE
was
an
awesome
circle
of
graham
crust,
creamy
custard,
the
right
hint
of
lemon!
VANILLA
ICE
CREAM
SUNDAE
was
just
the
right
amount
for
one
too
full
of
dinner
to
enjoy
a
sweet
little
cup
of
vanilla
ice
cream,
hot
fudge,
and
dab
of
whipped
cream.
From
beginning
to
end,
the
dinner
was
a
wonderful
experience.
The
portions
were
such
that
you
definitely
did
not
go
away
hungry.
The
price
was
perfectly
set
for
the
portion
and
quality
of
food.
Service
was
fantastic
and
friendly.
We
will
definitely
return!
