Welcome to Andrettas Restaurant, Highlands , United States. Frank Picciolo and Carmine Mazzone are still overlooking Andrettas, making several upscale structural changes as well as changing the name to Andrettas, Highlands . Taking charge of the kitchen is renown Chef Ralph Andretta who is from Italy. He was always interested in cooking, learning from his talented mother. He says, “I go according to my palate as the test is in the taste. He firmly believes that “If you don't have a taste then you don't belong in the kitchen!” Andretta is especially particular about his vegetables, and his motto is “ The essence of the finished product is called consistency.” He is also very conscientious when comes to quality. He says, “ Come back again and you will find the food the same as your last visit.
Andretta makes his own mozzarella, prepares his specialties with imported Reggiano cheese and imports many of his products from the province of Cilento, in the region of Compania. Here they are known for their olive oils, aun dried tomatoes and gaeta olives which he always stocks in the kitchen.
Andrettas,Restaurant is very comfortable and pleasant. Upon entering you will notice a well-stocked elongated bar to the right. A nicely furnished sitting area can be found to the left of the entrance. You will take particular notice of the newly hand-painted designer floor and ceiling which was done by a professional artist. Large palms, mirrors and touches of brick all contribute to the nicely done environment. A large dining room to the exterior of the Restaurant has adequately spaced tables clothed in beige surrounded with fine wooden upholstered chairs.
Be sure to order the Veal Marsala which was so tender that you could cut it with a fork. The veal medallions were enhanced with fresh mushrooms in a brown sauce with a scent of marsala wine coming through, created by a caring, innovative chef. This was designed to satisfy, served with a perfectly made potato croquette.
A perfect finale for our wonderful gourmet meal was Tira mi su, made with mascarpone cheese from Italy, Grand Monier and Kalua.
