I lived down the street from Madeline's for many years. I bought my first house in Little Italy. I really liked their chicken parm and the snapper soup (used to order take out allll the time)...but I thought the salad bar sucked and wasn't thrilled with any of the veal specials they had.
I love Pastabilities and Mona Lisa was pretty good as well. La Casa Pasta in Glasgow is probably one of my favorites.
