| - This place has (and I think will always be) my dad's fave Italian restaurant, so of course we knew where we were going for our family dinner when my dad said he had a hankering for pasta.
Although the restaurant is a bit small (it's situated in a strip mall), it's cosy and has a cute Italian charm to it. As we got seated at our table, menus were handed to us and the table tea lantern was lit. Glancing over the menu, I went with the penne pollo e gamberi (chicken & shrimp in a lemon & garlic wine sauce), my dad ordered his usual for my mom and him to share - linguine al limone (chicken, mushroom & broccoli in lemon cream sauce) & penne paesano (Italian sausage, olives & red peppers) and my sister got the linguine pescatore (variety of seafood in a tomato sauce).
While we waited, they brought out biscuits for us to munch on (dipped in oil/vinegar of course!) and it wasn't long before our entrées arrived.
I got to sample everyone else's dishes too - and I'd have to say that the linguine al limone was my favourite of all of them (not to say mine wasn't good, I just really liked the lemon sauce the linguine came in!)
You're looking at ~$15/dish, which I think is worth it for what feels like a home cooked Italian meal - plus if you're like me, you'll have leftovers for lunch so it's like you're getting two meals!
