Another great review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4 Stars) "Instead of being stuck on the Southern State Parkway at rush hour, with a crowded Belt Parkway looming...I hit the navigation button for closest restaurants.  It showed Elisa’s Restaurant not too far off the beaten path.  It’s a small family style Italian restaurant.  Since I was alone, I asked to eat at the tiny back bar, which they were absolutely fine with.  I think it’s normally reserved for family and friends.I started with the calamari, which was excellent - very lightly fried, crisp, tender, and served with homemade marinara.  Next I had the veal Sorentino, with prosciutto and eggplant.  It was a perfect-sized portion and was very tasty, in a light red sauce.  It was four out of five on my scale - seemed to need that one extra component for a full wow-factor (maybe black olives, or even fresh basil or parsley on top).My side dish of angel hair pasta came out as thin spaghetti and wasn’t quite sauced enough.  Aside from that, I would recommend trying this Mom & Pop restaurant - the menu is varied with specials and there is a full bar.  I would come back to try more of the food!"
