Yes, but I usually ask for it without the anchovies....was the loin tender, I usually see a veal parm with a scaloppini....

Been there once, my daughter's chicken parm had no seasoning and was dry as a bone, there Italian beef was cut with the grain rendering it stringy & tough, the eggplant parm special was fine, but the sauce was just adequate and nothing more.. All the sandwiches came on very generic, flavorless bread, the "homemade" Mozzerella was not creamy or salted. The space was cramped, but they were opening a second dining room next door. We did not have the pizza, but that looked good.

How do they compare to Mark? I like to order Mark "early of the grill" or rare and I find them great, but if you say the ones at Bill's is better or as good, then I will happily try?

Totally agree, sometimes there are still flashes of a great juicy burger and sometimes tasteless. Louis Lunch is more consistent, but there are some burgers are cooked on the outer part of the grill that get well done and grey. They also don't travel well, eat there.

Kathy, Got to go with Van Leeuwin, now on 7th Street off Second Avenue. The best ingredients including Michel Cuizel Chocolate and Battenkill Dairy cream in the whipped cream.

Orso & Joe Allen's are terrific & get you to the theater on time. Orso's risotto, pizza and taramisu are perfect. Joe Allen is traditional NY pub & above food. Also, try the Reunion Surfer Bar for Fish Tacos & Happy Hour.

We went to Redding Market in Philadelphia to have Oprah's favorite Mac * Cheese, dry & tasteless!
We were passing through Macon, Georgia and went to H&H, Oprah & the Allman Brothers favorite soul food, the most tasteless restaurant ever! The ribs were 100% undedible fat, the Mac & Cheese made Kraft's look like gourmet and the cobbler? Well Entemann's put this to shame.
Marriella is a slice joint, no better than any other, just pedestrian and any other place is just as good.

Blue Smoke, Jenn Giblin is NYC's best pie maker.

really wanted to like this place, but the cheese has no taste, the veggies have no seasoning, the pasta is boring, the place has all the warmth of a Sub Zero and the staff has no idea what they are serving or doing. Other than that it is great.

Blue Smoke's desserts are superb, one of the best pastry chefs in NY and while $7.95 is a bit pricey for a slice of pie, you want great ingredients? it costs a bit more.

Dinosaur BBQ makes a great, multi napkin, burger.
