At Dave's Italian Kitchen, your wallet will get a much-needed break. This well priced restaurant leaves enough food for two on every plate. The chicken parmesan at Dave's however, won't be something you'll want to share. Vegetarian or not, the eggplant parmesan cooked with breaded eggplant, layered with ricotta and mozzarella is something you'll also need to try. If you dine with a friend, I suggest getting both and switching half-way.
