Karen and Barry's Italian Bistro

VitaBene · 02-18-2009, 04:58 AM

We made our first visit to Karen and Barry's Italian Bistro last night. It certainly won't be our last.

We started with a Caesar salad that was fantastic and large enough to be shared by three. I guess the mozzarella sticks were equally as good because my son fired them all down singlehandedly (he gave a thumbs up)!

For dinner we had veal parm, chicken parm and pasta- it was great and everyone raved about the red sauce.

Karen was our server and we had a chance to talk with her more as the night progressed- she is nice with a great sense of humor and attitude.

If you are looking for a great casual italian dinner, make your way to this little gem in Meredith Center!

Vita,

My wife and I enjoy Karen & Barry's very much. I would second every thing you have said and I would add the Eggplant Parm to the list.

Oh, Lordy, you folks had to go and remind me of how much I miss Barry's cooking all winter.

His Lasagna is to die for, not to mention the garlic bread with cheese!

C'mon Ice Out!!!!

"Meredith Center" is different than in the center of Meredith diagonally opposit the Post Office.
A small issue: Meredith Center is west out route 104 a little, and on Meredith Center Road, which runs from Elm Street/Parade Road to Route 104.

Sorry to make an issue in a little name. There are other great businesses on Main Street, in the center of Town, very near the restaurant, Karen & Barry's.
