This was our first visit to Moretti's-Bedford Park. It will definitely not be our last. The food was delicious, and the portions were generous. Our server, Jessica, was friendly, efficient, and attentive. The restaurant setup was great. Two of the people in my party use walkers, and the tables were spaced nicely, allowing enough room to get to and from the door without any disruption. We had a wonderful experience and will most certainly be back.
