| - Told Friends: We're coming your way, pick a dinner spot. And they chose Sarafino's in Crafton.
So glad they did!
It's a nice corner restaurant that used to be a pharmacy (so I'm told). Not a spacious dining area, but good for 6 or less at a table.
The smell from the kitchen is strong... garlicky and wonderful.
The bread was fresh, crusty and disappeared fast. I had the wedding soup which was pretty different, as I believe it had basil as the greens and no chicken. Delicious and unique.
Two of us ordered the special which was an alfredo and roasted brussel sprout pasta dish. Mind you, I was excited to see an Italian steak salad that DID NOT include the typlical 'Burgh French fries - but the brussel sprout pasta changed my mind and it was so good. So WAY good.
Hubs, being the traditionalist that he is, ordered the red Bolognese with a meatball and a sausage - he was pretty happy, also. Friend #2 ordered the house crab cakes, which she knew from previous visits were fabulous and they were pretty lovely, gotta say.
We split the almond dessert - yummy and we should've got it TO GO as we were TOO FULL!
The place is noisy and it doesn't take much for it to be crowded, but dang... the menu has some items that definitely need to be explored further! Be hungry when you get there--
