    The ambiance at The Kitchen was good and felt like a casual neighborhood spot to enjoy some Italian food. Unfortunately, the pizza and small pour of wine was disappointing. We enjoyed the baked ziti, but not enough for a second visit, as we've had delicious pasta and quite a bit of great pizza at other restaurants in the area.

    The antipasto salad was the best we have ever had. I had the shrimp parmesan and it was delicious. My wife had the chicken picatta and absolutely loved it. Our server was efficient, took the time to answer our questions about menu items, and was very friendly and professional. The food arrived promptly and was at the perfect temperature.
