Esposito's

This family-run restaurant (owned by the Espositos, of course) has been serving happy customers since 1982. This is as close to homemade Italian cooking as you can get. The mouth-watering menu consists of an assortment of delicious pizzas, pastas, Italian sausage, pollo picata (chicken breast with in butter with capers and artichokes) and veal. The owner highly recommends the Pollo Francese and the scalloppine marsala. The dessert offerings are also impressive and you can order large orders of cannoli, tiramisu and cheesecake. As expected, the restaurant offers an impressive wine list as well, so make sure you speak with the knowledgeable wait staff when making your selection.
