   We were there for the early bird special. Appetizer, entrée, dessert and one drink (beer or wine) for $40 Value wise it was good and worth the money. Some people loaded the fish which they said was very good, but the bad part about that was it comes with a side dish of pasta, and they are EXTREMELY inflexible. The fish was made with wine and butter, and they said the pasta had to have the same sauce on it. Could not and would not just put a simple red sauce or garlic & oil on it. Mandatory Wine & butter on pasta??? Yuck. I ordered what I thought was a simple chicken Parmesan w linguine. I say simple because I assumed it would come with a red tomato sauce. It did not! It came with an orange creamy tomato sauce, which I did not enjoy. At the very least if they only they’re going to venture away from the norms, they should say it in the menu. Everyone’s menu pics came with a side of pasta and they were all overcooked. None of them were al dente. Although we were not in any rush, but There were only four tables occupied in the restaurant, and the service was very slow and the food took a very long time to come out. We all ordered cappuccinos and specifically requested them to be extremely hot before bringing them to the table. Not only were they not hot, but they tasted burnt. As part of the special included, was one wine or beer each. When the check came it seemed unusually high for what we ordered, and after inspecting the bill, they ended up charging us for the two beers, which should’ve been included. I don’t know about you, but I hate when things show up on the check that shouldn’t be there. Oh yeah one person ordered a martini, not top shelf and it was $19. Wow! All in all, I guess it’s OK for the value. But expect zero flexibility, don’t be in a rush, and inspect your bill when it comes. We were not impressed and would probably not go back there.

   The Branzino at Branzino’s is delicious! The lunch special is great value. The homemade dessert is fabulous.

   Luigi, Chef/Manager and Roberto, Waiter are both highly professional and kind. We enjoy Branzino's for the quality and consistency of the food and staff.

   Four of us went for lunch as a work retiree reunion. We all had the 2 course for $26. lunch option. We each had different appetizers - baked clams, fried calamari, soup, salad and different entrees- salmon, branzino, linguini with clams, chicken. We all enjoyed our meals. Service was excellent. Although there was background music we could have conversations with ease. Restaurant and bathrooms are very clean.
