                                                        Had a great meal at Goodfella's last night. The caesar salad was one of the best I have had and the veal was delicious. Great old school Italian atmosphere and reasonable prices. Highly recommend.

                                                        Food was excellent. Service was on point. My only complaint was that the live entertainment was so loud we could barely hear ourselves. I will definitely come back on a night with no music.
