3. Bada Bing
Live music on weekends, extensive wine list, family-owned and operated

Bada Bing has been a recurrent dining choice for me, with each visit reaffirming the consistent quality and prompt serving times. Sampling the three chicken breasts on my latest visit, I found them to be accurately depicted on the menu. While not the absolute pinnacle of chicken dishes I've encountered, they certainly did not disappoint. Generous in portion size, the meal left me feeling satisfied and energized, setting the tone for an invigorating post-marathon session.
