Ok...so being that this the land of the Italian mafia you would think there would be some amazing Italian restaurants. We have been to several and have been severly disappointed by many. We saw this place on yelp and they had great reviews, although just 29 reviews they had 5 Stars. We thought what they heck...it's close to home...so let's give it a try!!! We drove up to an almost deserted strip mall and had our doubts....to be honest we almost drove away. But we were there and I said...you know we have had pretty good luck at a lot of hole in the wall places...we are here...let's give it a try. OMG....thank god we did!!!!!
We were greeted by the chef and I am assuming his wife. We were the only 2 in the building...very pleasant couple!!
We started with the fried mozzarella...2 big triangles, breaded and deep fried! Served on a bed of their marinara sauce. Holy moly....it was AMAZING!!!
Then we could not decide what to try because it all sounded so good so you would think by looking at our table we had 10 people coming to join us...but no...just the 2 of us...
Made to order lasagna
Baked ziti
Small all meats pizza
My man had the lasagna...with meat sauce...it was 5 layers of home made noodle, cheese, meat and the flavor was intense, the meat sauce was so packed full of flavor, tender chunks of meat melted in your mouth.
The baked ziti was piping hot cheese baked to perfection on the top...the sauce was a cream marinara...cheese throughout and the noodles were cooked al dente.
The pizza...pepperoni, sliced sausage and bacon. The crust was doughy but crispy and held all of the sauce and juices perfectly. The sausage was amazing...I wanted to eat it off of the top just by itself. The flavor of the sauce is hard to perfectly describe...it was the marinara but had a twist...it was delicious.
All of that for $41 and we have so much food left it's crazy!!!
We will be back...we have found our local Italian restaurant and you should go and support this amazing place and enjoy their meals!!! Whatever side of town you are on...it will be worth the drive!
