Pines of Florence

Rob, my parmer-in-crime, was nice enough to drive us over to Pines of Florence, which is not particularly metro-accessible but was high on my excel spreadsheet of potentially-awesome chicken parm in Washington. Lo and behold, it was not bad at all! - greasy home cooking in a basement italian restaurant that looks like a dump but has pretty awesome cannolis (or bones, as we like to call them). If I had grown up in a large Italian family, I think this place would feel like my mother's kitchen (or like the place where all the male members of the family would gather for mafia get-togethers). And as for the chicken parm - cheap and delicious:
