 My, how your little BBS has grown!  Seriously, your geographic
 criterion limits your choices.  It may be Italian/American, but the
 Pleasure Bar on Liberty Avenue in Bloomfield at least had a buffet
 nightly for about 7.95.

 Italian/American is perfectly okay -- while I will usually choose
 something non-Italian/American to go to for an evening restaurant, I'd
 be attracted to any restaurant with a buffet.

 A quick call to the Pleasure Bar reveals that they discontinued their
 buffet a couple of years ago.
