I think this is the year of the pizza for us...with all the fabulous pizza joints opening up around town we are finding experimentation with pizza's currently high on our list of wants. Plus the kidlets LOVE pizza.
Tonight's visit to Famoso really exceeded any and all expectations we had going in. The customer service was exceptional. Since there was a short wait, and our kids do not do well waiting we were offered seating in the downstairs part of the restaurant. I went to check it out first and was quite surprised. Quaint, bright, surrounded by oodles of wine bottles and the food network playing on the tv (lol). While it wasn't as bright as upstairs, it also wasn't as noisy. We also had a waitress take our order opposed to upstairs where you have to take your order to the counter, yourself. So win win and a good start to our Famoso experience.
The pizza's were a decent price and they also offered kid sized pizza's.
I've had pizza in Italy and the pizza we had tonight was very much like my Italian experience. After sharing a Caesar salad with hubs, I had the prosciutto/arugula pizza (hubs had all meat) and the kids were simpletons ordering both a cheese & a pepperoni pizza. All the food came quick and our hostess & waitress both went out of their way with their service. We enjoyed everything so much we ordered dessert (a rarity for us). I had the salted caramel gelato, the kids each received gelato as part of their meal and just to be different hubs had the tiramisu (he said it was good but mine was better - lol).
This is most definitely a family friendly place and they certainly cater to the kids...(kids were given special drink cups and allowed to take them home n/c). Even the darn coffee was good.
I can't find any cons about Famoso's. Both hubs and I were very impressed with everything, my young boy advised "he liked it down here" and my daughter indicated "this place rocks".
Famoso's gets high marks in our books and we will be back soon!
