| - Several weeks ago, friends tried Pizzutti's out...and came away with rave reviews. That, combined with some aggressive flyer-handing-out on Walnut St, it made my list of 'need to try'. Tonight, I was able to talk two willing friends into trying it out.
I have to admit, I normally am not that interested in Italian restaurants. I'm a pretty decent cook - so it's hard to find good Italian, beyond what I could cook for myself.
We were starving, so we started ordering like crazy.
Bruschetta of the day and the Antipasto plater. BOTH were amazing. Bruschetta changes everyday, and was especially notable. Excellent tomatoes and flavor! Antipasto was also great...but not that hard to mess up.
I had the Sweet Sausage and Papardelle. The pasta was fresh and excellent...the sausage had excellent flavor. The white savory sauce, was also delicious.
At the table we also had Penne ala PIzzutti...or something close to that. AWESOME. Excellent sauce with goat cheese! Goat Cheese! and Chicken. EXCELLENT!
Also had the gnocchi...little pillows of deliciousness. Not normally my cup of tea...but my friend that ordered - it's his standard - and he was very very pleased.
I will absolutely be back. The ambiance was a little on the quieter-romantic side...we were the loudest 3 people in there. The tables are pretty close together, dim lighting, etc.
Better either for a date night, or potentially family dinner. Not 3 friends guzzling wine and licking their plates...but they still seemed happy to have us...so maybe we'll do it again.
