Fettucelle carbonara, for one, was a tasty serving of al dente noodles in eggy, slightly creamy sauce flecked with tiny pieces of pancetta. Soups included with dinner are not the restaurant's strong suit. The iceberg came with red onions, cucumber, grated red cabbage, homemade croutons and a tomato slice in sweet vinaigrette assertively laced with black pepper. Lightly toasted garlic rolls were tasty, but like the soup, only lukewarm. Tender sauteed veal came with overcooked broccoli rabe on al dente linguini in mild tomato sauce perky with sharp provolone.
Desserts are limited to ice cream, cheesecake and a homemade cannoli.
Thanks to a mirrored rear wall, the small dining room seems larger than it is. The ceiling is edged with silk ivy entwined with plastic grapes and tiny white lights. Lace curtains mask the front shopping center windows. Tables with laminated tops are set with white paper placemats and napkins and black metal chairs with mauve fabric seats. Visceglia's has no liquor license, but patrons may bring their own spirits.
