I always have a good time at Dee’s. Our server was lovely. She was pleasant, quick and attentive. I wish I could remember her name! We were there last night to celebrate Mother’s Day. I always have a Metropolitan cocktail which is delicious. We started with skillet meatballs and calamari which were fantastic. I had the chicken parmigiana which is always great. They give you two huge chicken cutlets. I had it with a side of penne with tomato sauce. The sauce is out of this world! For dessert I had tartuffo and my son had tiramisu. Both were perfect. The prices are reasonable and well worth it. I highly recommend Dee’s.

We visited with our 6 year old grandson. The staff were so friendly with him. He thoroughly enjoyed the mussels and fries, my wife a wonderful shrimp pasta dish and I had broccoli rabe with sausage. We come here weekly and enjoy the food, the cocktails, the staff, and the atmosphere. Also we enjoy their brunch- yummy!
