Jeno's Restaurant & Italian Cuisine
Summary
Would we go there again: Yes
It's a quaint, little "hole in the wall" diner. The food will satisfy your taste buds. About half of their menu is Italian the other half has sandwiches. The service is above average. They serve good sized dishes. We could have almost split one dish. On that note, we got a "doggie bag."

Tim's Comments: Nice little place. Good sized portions for the money, and pretty tasty food. Certainly not food to eat every day (its not too healthy), but I wouldn't mind eating there again. The only bummer is that they only take cash.
Jeni's Comments: It had a hometown feel, which is very appropriate considering its located on Main St. I was impressed by the friendly & attentive service. The food was good, although I would have appreciated not having to be careful of chicken bones in my casserole. When they say chicken, they mean portions of a real chicken! But, I NEVER ran out of coffee. That is a very good thing!
