Il vagabondo!!

So on our little food tour I finally got to go to the famous il vagabondo. Very fancy schmancy with the host dressed in a suit and our server looking like Mario's uncle. Anyhow, apparently the veal parmigiana is famous because practically every table ordered it. And so did we. With a side of penne instead of spaghetti but spaghetti came and since David Burke Townhouse was next up and our reservation was soon, we didn't complain.

Pretty huge portion. So we split it, plus we were eating more food after and it was expensive soooo we shared. I gotta say, it was pretty good. Cheesy, saucy, just a traditional veal parmigiana. It's a little hard to tell the difference between veal and chicken parmigiana but I feel like I could taste a slight difference. While Emeril was right that it was pretty good, he was wrong about its cutability? It did not "cut like butter". I found my self really jabbing my knife in it to cut it but i think other than that it was pretty good. It wasn't out of this world, but a really good traditional Italian veal parmigiana. It's a bit expensive ($24.50) so I dont think I would go back for something I could probably make just as good at home.
