My gourmet chef father was in town and wanting a night off from cooking we were throwing around ideas of where we could take him to eat that he would approve of. Well; since I'm pregos and I was craving Italian food and have been wanting Bootleggers we made the short drive there. We were sat right away in the dimmed dinning room with the perfect level of music playing in the back ground.
I was so excited when they brought out their garlic knots and basil dipping sauce about 1 minute after we sat down. We destroyed them! And got seconds!!! My dad perused the menu he had a smile on his face. Not only from the menu but the great smells all around us. I already knew what I was having, the baked Penne, always great and lots of cheese. I love melted cheese! Our friendly waiter took our order; my dad got Marsala and my BF got the picatta, then he brought my dad is wine, how could you not have a nice glass of red wine with great Italian food? If I wasn't with child, I would have had 1 or 3 myself.
The food came in a timely manner and we jumped right in! Right after my dad's first bite he proclaimed that his Marsala was one of the best he has ever had. Mine was amazing as always and my BF's was gone very quickly , a sign it was great as well. Our waiter checked back with us a few time and in my dad's true fashion they struck up a conversation about, well who knows what I was engaged in my food! All in all we left happy, full, and I with a preggo craving filled; which some of you know is most important
I Suggest anyone who loves great Italian food with the old school feel go to bootleggers Bistro, bring the parents with you; they may like it so much they may pay! ( Thanks dad!!)
