This is hands down our absolutely favorite restaurant of all time, and it is in my neighborhood! Raimondo's offers northern Italian cuisine, and although kids have dined there, this is the type of place where it's not so kid friendly...It's BYO and we have never ever had a bad meal in all our years of going to this place! They do have early bird specials from 4-6 during the week ( although i'm not so sure in the summer months ) our favorites are the filet with gorgonzola mashed potatoes, eggplant rollatini, any of the fish specials ( esp swordfish ) and even the spaghetti and meatballs! the osso busco is to die for, from what i have been told....caesar salad for an app is awesome, as is the beet salad. Any dessert is delicious, but the flourless chocolate torte with raspberry sauce is what i always get. Dinner for 2 with apps and a dessert will be $100+ and for what it's worth, our 2nd favorite place is the Terrace Tavern......excellent burgers and seafood!
