Good chicken parmesan (takeout)

mswlogo · 03-17-2021, 11:39 AM

It’s a little out of the specified target area but worth it.

If you want great parm (veal or chicken)

You have to try Rossi’s it’s near Rt 93 exit 23 Rt 104.

Oh and Italian Farmhouse in Plymouth has the best tiramisu.
They have good parm too but not as good as Rossi’s (they have the best sauce).
Great atmosphere and bread at Italian Farmhouse too.
Atmosphere is nothing much at Rossi’s, but the sauce is the best any where.
Rossi’s tiramisu is good but nothing like Italian Farmhouse. I’m often torn between the two

BTW Fratello’s and Italian Farmhouse are owned by common man.
So I’m sure Fratello’s is great too. Been meaning to get there.

I believe Fratello’s is affiliated with the Homestead chain, not Common Man.

Good catch.

Anything affiliated with Homestead is great too.
I had googled it to check but the reference I found was wrong.

But just checking again I didn’t realize Lago was part of Common Man.

Any restaurant affiliated with either “chain” is worth checking out.

Fratello's was affiliated with Homestead. I think the owners are/were brothers but I think I recall the affiliation split. Technically may not be affiliated any more. Can't say for sure but that is what I recall.

Have had several great meals at Myna's Italian Restaurant across from the Margate although I have not had Chicken Parmagiana there.

They still show up together on the website.

We've done curbside at the Homestead (Merrimack) and Fratellos (Manchester) several times and we like their food very much. They do a nice job packaging the food to go. And their mud pie is a wonderful treat with the pie in one container and the fudge topping in another ready for some time in the microwave to heat it up before drizzling it over the ice cream. Oh yeah we like Fratellos chicken parm too.

Yup, you're right. Got that wrong. Owned by McDonough brothers/family. Got that part right.

Right-My loyalty card is for Fratello's and Hoimestead. Fratello's website says both are proudly owned and operated by the McDonough Family. But I like Alex Ray's places too.
