We were seated in a comfy booth; server was quick and professional. The bread is always delicious, as were the potstickers. Warm veggie bowl, macadamia chicken were delicious… as always… we are big, long-term fans of the chew chew.

I've dined a few times at Moretti's-Bedford Park and have always enjoyed the Italian food dishes I've ordered. This time I tried the Total Package Burger, and it was out of this world! And huge! It was served with a very generous helping of delicious fries. One of my friends ordered the Jack Daniels Burger and couldn't stop raving about it throughout the whole meal. Two others at the table had Broasted Chicken dinners, which they loved. And, as has been my experience in past visits, the service was excellent. We were greeted warmly when we arrived and were seated, and our server, Daniel, was friendly, attentive, and efficient. Very highly recommended!!!
