Rexy`s Bar and Restaurant

I had never eaten at Rexy`s Bar and Restaurant before, but I knew it had a great reputation for serving wonderful authentic Italian food at reasonable prices. I heard it had an intimate atmosphere that made it perfect for a romantic dinner. I also had heard that it was a great place for drinking a few beers and watching a Flyers game. Generally I found out for myself that the restaurant seems to have something for everyone - especially for those who just love food.

Family-owned-and-operated since 1943, Rexy`s Bar and Restaurant offers patrons a full bar and a wide selection of menu items including salads, pasta, veal, poultry, seafood, steak, sandwiches, burgers, omelets, and pizza. Early Bird Specials (served Monday - Friday from 2:30 to 5:30 p.m.) and a Children`s Menu, with meals named after Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, are also available.

When my companion and I stopped in for dinner recently, I have to admit we weren`t prepared for the huge portions we received. We began with an order of Chicken Nachos ($7.05), a plate piled high with nachos, chicken, tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, onions, peppers, and olives. It was one of the best appetizers I`ve ever had.

I continued my meal with Chicken Lasagna ($10.05), while my companion opted for Rigatoni and Shrimp ($15.35), both of which came with a salad or soup (I had Chicken and Tortellini soup while my companion ordered a salad) and bread and butter.

Both meals were absolutely delicious. We were especially impressed by how much chicken and shrimp there were in our respective meals. There was no scrimping on quality, fresh ingredients. We tried very hard to save enough room to enjoy one of the many desserts served, but we just couldn`t do it. Next time we`ll do better. Rexy`s has take-out and catering available (both on and off the premises). Reservations are suggested on the weekends and holidays.
