It has been a long time since the first Italian Oven opened and they were showing up all over the area with the black and white tiled floors. They were inexpensive, popular and had decent food. But then there were problems and they closed.
Not sure if this Italian Oven is owned by the same family but the decor is nicer than the IOR's of the past. Walk in and there is a desert display and the deserts look delicious. Was immediately seated and our waitress was great. Refills without asking or even noticing, stopped and asked at the correct time without interrupting our conversation. There is wine available but did not sample. Did not notice if IOR serves beer but would think with wine there must be beer available
Was not real hungry and tried a little pizza that is cooked in a brick oven. The crust is thin and crisp like most brick oven pizza, the sauce is sweet so it should be a big seller in these parts since Fiori's is similar and popular. Was not real hungry and the pizza filled me up so did not get a chance to try the deserts. They menu has pasta, salads and panini's. The pasta dishes looked to be popular, at many tables surrounding us.
