Family-owned and run for about 50 years, Cortese provides a family dining experience. Start with an appetizer like oysters Rockefeller, then choose your main course from an array of Italian favorites like fettuccine Alfredo, shrimp scampi and veal piccata. Or, if you've got a big group, order up one of the restaurant's delicious pizzas -- an eight-slice pie will set you back just about $6.50. If you're super-hungry and feeling a bit adventurous, try their Alfredo pie, which is a fettuccine Alfredo-topped pizza. Half orders of pastas are available for kid-sized appetites. But make sure you leave room to end the meal right -- Cortese offers homemade cheesecake, carrot cake, tiramisu, cannolis, chocolate peanut-butter pie, or midnight layer cake. Almost makes you want to have dessert first, doesn't it? Eat in or take out.
