Piccolo Forno Pollo Alla Parmigiana Price

Piccolo Forno's Pollo Alla Parmigiana is a classic dish made by taking a tender chicken breast, breading and frying it to a golden brown, then topping it with a bright marinara sauce, fresh mozzarella, and a sprinkle of oregano. The dish is then baked until the cheese is perfectly melted and bubbly. This focus on fresh mozzarella instead of a low-moisture variety gives the dish a creamy and authentic character. The price for this entree is $25.00.
