I made a reservation during “happy hour” before going to a show. All our prices were discounted. Our meals were very good. Last time, my husband ordered the chicken parm, which he thought was a little tough. This time he ordered Nonna’s spaghetti and meatballs which he hasn’t stopped raving about. My chicken Marsala was delicious. I could not believe how quickly our dinner was brought to us. And my Lemontini was by far, the best one I’ve ever had at Vergina, and that’s the drink I always order. 5 stars all the way on this last visit.
