Plan to share the restaurant's trademark antipasto ($6.50) or just call it dinner. It's a staggering amount of food, thanks to the generous scoops of Mediterranean tuna salad (made with a vinaigrette rather than the usual mayonnaise) and the chicken salad (extra good because the chicken is sauteed rather than poached before it's mixed with other ingredients), as well as all the other goodies [Michael Anthony Molchan] adds.

Shrimp and scallops Anthony ($13.50), the other entree that was tasted and then taken home, was a generous serving of succulent seafood atop a mound of fettuccine flavored with chicken broth, citrus juices, feta cheese, fresh chopped tomato and wine. I'd order it again, if I could resist sampling some of the other entrees, which include citrus pork mignon ($9.25), Butcher's veal (with mild and hot sausage, red and green peppers, shallots and tomato sauce ($12.50) and Athenian spanakopita (spinach and herbs baked with feta and ricotta in phyllo, for $7.95).
