Now eight years old and a second and recent surgery under his belt, CJ is the family’s heart hero and the driving force behind Buddy V’s involvement with Children’s Heart Foundation. Guests can dine and give back now through the end of February knowing that $3 of every meal will go to Children’s Heart Foundation. The prix fixe dinner is $34 for lunch and $39 for dinner. The special menu includes choice of appetizer (Caesar Salad, Tomato Basil Soup or Grandma’s Meatballs); entrée (Chicken Parm, Grilled Salmon, Chicken Fettucine Alfredo or My Mother In Law’s Shrimp Scampi); and dessert (Cannoli or Tiramisu).
