Broccolini's
Restaurant And Catering
- I
had the recent occasion to
try Broccolini's in Madison,
NJ. With the future
arrival of the New York Jets
this Italian restaurant is
going to be almost a stones-throw away from the new
facility and a contender for
the new diners that are sure
to abound here in the
coming years. North
Jersey is the home to among
other things really great
Italian food, usually, and
if there is a disappointment,
it often times is only
slight. On this night
at this new-to-me place I
not only felt disappointed
but like I wasn't even in
New Jersey.
Broccolini's
isn't much of a contender
and in this fiercely
competitive market it might
be time for them to draft
some new rookies from the
collegiate ranks or raid
another team for some new
talent. Seemingly once
frozen veal cutlets thawed,
heated and splashed with
some mediocre gravy just doesn't
make it with me. I'm
quite sure it probably
doesn't make it here with
the locals whose palettes
are discerning and whose
stomachs are usually spoiled
by fine Italian cuisine
available throughout the
area. To be fair a member of my
party did like the fish, but
a menu spotty in quality
just won't be able to
compete around here.
The service, however, was
superior, very warm and
attentive.
A
good healthy dose of new
kitchen talent, fresh
ingredients, interesting
dishes and passionate
management could very easily
get this team back on
the field and ready to
compete. It's 4th and
long for Broccolini's... are
they going to punt or go for
it! - Jersey Shadow
