Here is a little background on La Calabria Ristorante. Before arriving to the restaurant, I did some research online, and figured out that this place is family and locally owned in Gilbert. The owner Giovanni is originally from Calabria, Italy, and he moved to the United States in his thirties. Since the owner is from Italy, I made the assumption that this place would be quite authentic and delicious. 
When I entered the restaurant I realized it was fine dining. The place was decorated as if it was a part of Italy, having numerous maps of Italy all over the restaurant and bottles of wine everywhere. Having traveled to Italy, the atmosphere was extremely reminiscent of being in Italy. The servers make you feel like part of the family, almost as if they knew you previously. There is a faint sound of Italian music in the background such as the great Andrea Bocelli. Before ordering or receiving any food, this restaurant deserves an A for service and atmosphere.
The menu has a wide variety of authentic Italian food dishes ranging from seafood to veil. I ordered the Linguine Rusticana which was a seafood dish composed of shrimp and linguine noodles in a white wine sauce with mushrooms and spinach. The shrimp was cooked to perfection, and practically melted in your mouth with every chew. Overall, this restaurant is a full cultural experience into the Italian cuisine and deserves every person to dine at. |
