Lubrano's 36

Hidden Italian Gem. Delicious Quality food that is comparable to nearby upscale Italian restaurant. The portion sizes were midrange; enough to satisfy your hunger, but you probably won't need a box. Our party of 6 each ordered a different entree and all were in agreement that the food was homemade, prepared fresh, and cooked very well. The price was very reasonable. The atmosphere is cozy as it is a fairly small restuarant. We made reservations, which is highly recommended! We ate upstairs which was very roomy yet intimate. The atmosphere is relaxed and all staff seemed friendly and professional. The general attire seems to be business casual. Wait staff all wear black. The restuarant was very clean as was the restrooms. Our server offered us about 5 different dinner specials. They all sounded really good, but I ordered off of the menu. The menu is simple and consists of 10-12 traditional Italian entrees, a standard selection of personal pizzas, a fantastic looking salad selection, and a modest selection of hot appetizers. We decided on the fried calamari, which was fresh and delicious with a nice sized portion for the 3 people who ate it. We also ordered the Vegetable Pomodora which was different then expected. The menu described various vegetables, pancetta, and Parmigiano-Reggiano. We were expecting an antipasto, but it's actually a small plate of vegetable parmigiana covered with Pomodora sauce. It tasted fine, but was not suitable for 6 people to share. Luckily, the restuarant serves complimentary bread and oil which was absolutely delicious. I will definitely eat here again. I want to try one of their salads as well as the pizza. I'm looking forward to eating at Lubrano's again very soon!

The food was spot on for quality and more than enough for a go bag. Service was excellent with attentive waitstaff. The rigatoni boulinase sauce of veal and beef with perfectly cooked pasta was the best I have had in years. My girlfriend had the eggplant parm which was excellent as well. For an app we had the musscles in red sauce which went very well the bread for dipping. Will definitely go again to try all the dishes..
