Mrs. Guido's 2 Cents:
Aegean II has quickly become our go to Italian restaurant in the wake of Mario's drawn out rennovation/changing hands process. The small, cozy establishment is friendly and gives you that neighborhood restaurant feel, despite being in a large shopping center on a busy road. The food, while in the beginning was average, quickly rose in quality, and atmosphere and friendliness kept us coming back. The chicken parm/eggplant rollentini combo was the first meal I tried there, which was a special of the night. The chicken was a real breaded cutlet, not a tyson chicken patty covered in sauce which some restaurants that shall remain nameless try to pawn off as parmigiana. The chicken ceasar salad is massive, but the sauteed spinach was a little salty. The chicken sorrentino is excellent, and the chicken and broccoli rabe special is the perfect amount. The chicken francese is nice and lemony, and the eggplant rollentini by itself is very good and is an adequate substitute for my favorite Mario's version. The entrees are served with a salad, which comes in their house greek dressing, a vinagrette with chunks of feta. To celebrate their status of one of the top 10 pizzarias on the Island, they gave us a complimentary glass of sangria, which I wish was available all the time because it was very tasty. We don't get dessert to often, but we tried a chocolate fudgy raspberry brownie concoction with vanilla ice cream which satisfied both mine and Mr. Guido's dessert needs (berries for me, warm brownie/cold ice cream for him). The prices are moderate and you get plenty of food. A great dining experience.
