I love authentic Italian food... This place did not disappoint. Open Kitchen has been around for 60 years and I now see why. My boyfriend and I went on a Thursday night. It wasn't busy but it wasn't dead. The restaurant is decorated with different giant figurines, old head shots of actors, a whole wall of college pennants. We were given a small table in the corner. Which was fine with us. Complementary French bread was brought right away.... Yum. We started with an order of the calamari. The breading on the calamari was very flavorful. The marinara that accompanied the calamari was very simple. Nothing wrong with that. My boyfriend ordered the crab meat parm and I got the spaghetti with white clam sauce. I loved the clam sauce. The clams were tender and the sauce was perfect. Exactly what I wanted. My boyfriend enjoyed his dish but I feel like he liked mine better. No worries there cause my dish was family size portion. I had a glass of the Malbec to accompany my dinner. I firmly believe you don't go to Italian restaurants without trying the dessert. We shared a tiramisu. It was light and dreamy. A perfect way to end the meal. Our server was a little overwhelmed tonight but who hadn't been there. Good times all around!
