| - This place has my heart! I have a thing for local, intimate family run spots, and this place is just that.
I've been to Lamp Cafe several times and have never been disappointed. Some of my favorite dishes are listed below:
Rough Chop Pesto & Bread - I could eat this pesto with every meal for the rest of my life, I'm that in love with it. And THAT bread. Made fresh in house daily. It doesn't get better than that!
Roasted Mushroom Barley Soup - I wanted a lighter meal one night and ordered this soup alongside a salad. There is so much savory flavor to it, I couldn't get enough. I actually dream about it to this day.
Mignulata - All flavors are delicious, but the Classic stands out to me. The concoction of all those ingredients make a mighty tasty starter to any meal.
Sicilian Pizza - You have the option of creating your own, or selecting from predetermined combinations. The Spicy Sauce & Pepperoni is outstanding, but be warned, the spicy sauce is SPICY. If your palate can't handle it, you can always sub the regular sauce.
Penne Rosa Pasta - When I want comfort food, I default to this simplistic, yet utterly flavorful dish. It's not overly sauced, so the balance is perfect, in my opinion. My husband and I will sometimes get an order of the Penne Rosa and one of the salads for dinner, a bottle of their wine or cocktails (they have a fantastic selection), and gelato to finish off!
Everyone at Lamp Cafe is incredibly nice and accommodating, and I always feel well taken care of every time we come in for a meal. If you haven't been recently, the space underwent a small remodel and is cuter than ever! It's super chic without being stuffy.
This spot will continue to be in my rotation of restaurants that I visit often. I love it too much for it not to be.
