| - First thought, Friday night pizza! Once I walked in to Andaloro's Taste of Sicily -- the Italian aromas led me to change my mind immediately. As I was looking over the menu - I could hear customers at other tables talking and laughing, seemed to really be enjoying their food. My husband and I try to order different meals while dining out so we can taste a lil of each others, so as normal I ordered the chicken parm and he ordered the FOUR cheese baked ziti. The chicken parm was good and very tender - and was covered in the exact amount of cheese. The side of pasta....YUMMO - I loved the sauce. Halfway in to my meal, it was time for the taste test. My husband and I tried each others dishes -- his baked ziti, I have to score a 10 out of 10! Now, if you are expecting garlic bread sticks like some of the chain italian restaurants...you will be disappointed. However, your dinner meal does come with a salad (balsamic dressing was really good!), and bread with marinara sauce for dipping. The atmosphere was quaint....possibly like a little family restaurant from Italy, I just can't say for sure because I have never been to Italy. Hand painted sky w/ clouds for the ceiling and grape vines painted on the walls...really cute. The dining room was much larger than I expected, it is divided in to two sides so it would be great for large parties as well as small groups of friends, even cozy for couples date nights. Oh and if you are bringing the family....towards the back of the restaurant, there are a larger tables and there is a little cove tucked in the back of the dining room with couches and a TV...yep. the lil ones can stretch their legs or sit back and relax while the adults finish their meals - yes, the cove is all open and the kids would be just an arms length away. The waitress? - Friendliest waitress I have ever had, she even brought the owner over to introduce him (her fiance) - made us feel like part of their family. So, second thought - I am going back - still want to try the pizza, as long as I can pull myself away from that baked ziti!
