I echo your sentiments. The only thing worse than boneless breasts are bonless and skinless breasts. To me Chicken Vesuvio should be full of that oily gamey poultry flavor that only comes from skin and bones, without which it tastes like a lemon flavored celluose sponge. If you are afraid of a little chicken fat, order something else.LAZ wrote:The deal breaker for me is boneless chicken breasts. To me, it's not really Vesuvio unless it's chicken on the bone.

I notice a few "I have not had it for X years." What is keeping you from visiting your favorite chicken Vesuvio spots or ordering CV?Is that an invitation?Cathy2 wrote:The one I make a home.

So because of that, one of my favorite places for Italian, Dave's Italian Kitchen in Evanston, is right out.
No potatoes, I'm not ordering the Vesuvio.

I had the Chicken Vesuvio last time I was there and enjoyed it quite a bit and I’ll be sure to post an update after Saturday.

The pino puffs at Nonno Pino's ( shredded zucchini with 3 cheeses formed in a light puffy ball ) are great appetizers, too. I've had a lot of family parties at Nonno Pino's over the years and their food never disappoints. The owners got their start at Trattoria Peppino in Elmwood Park.
