Pannulos

My wife and I celebrated our 26th Anniversary! We were greeted “Happy Anniversary” multiple times. Ask for Nick…his service was personable and he went above and beyond to make our experience wonderful. My wife had the pesto with Scallops and one of the owners (Michael) had the chef make a special spicy marinara and Grilled shrimp for me that was not on menu (Spicy Shrimp Fra Diavolo). We also started with the must have Salmon Bruschetta as well as the calamari. The house salad and dressing was very good! And we finished the night off with double espressos and their signature apple pie cheese cake. All the food was exceptional, well presented and came in large portions. First class all the way!

I loved the Greek salad so much, I promised our server I’d write a poem in iambic pentameter about it. A promise is a promise, but please don’t judge me. Here we go: Ode to a Greek Salad O Greek Salad, a feast for eyes and tongue, Crisp lettuce, tomatoes, all in a song. Black olives, red onions, flavors so fine, Wayne, our waiter, service divine. In every forkful, a burst of delight, Each bite, a journey, our taste buds ignite. Wayne, a maestro of service and care, His smile, a beacon, beyond compare..

This Italian restaurant is a five star place for service and food. The waiter was excellent, very attentive. The food was delicious. I had the bruschetta caprese for appetizer and the fettuccine carbonara with blackened chicken for the main course paired with their delicious house red sangria. I topped the evening off with a cappuccino after dinner. The bread was perfectly baked and had a perfect crust, crumb, and crunch. The carbonara had just the right kick and the blackened chicken was perfectly done, juicy and flavorful. My friend had linguine with clams served with the white sauce and paired with a white Riesling which he described as fragrant and an ideal match for his meal. This restaurant has a distinctly tuscan atmosphere with the decor mimicking brick construction and old, worn stucco. A good pick for dinner on a Saturday night.

Randomly stopped here for dinner with a friend. The food was good. The entrees took a while to come out, but the waiter comped our appetizer because he noted that we did have to wait a long time. I appreciated that immensely. I’ve been to Park Ave many times and never gave this place a chance, but I will likely be back to try some other menu items in the near future.
