| - carb heaven, please widen the door so i can officially be rolled out....
Scotti's is always consistently down to earth, cozy, no fuss Italian food. So if you like that kind of thing (a warm fuzzy feeling brought on by copious amounts of pasta, cream sauce and chianti) for sure check it out.
If Bucca di Beppe originated by ripping off a place - it was probably Scotti's. It has that kind of feel, but with out the requisite "flair". Thank god. Homemade bread - hot, fresh with dipping sauce. They dont even mind that I untop the parmesean cheese shaker and mix with the oil & vinegar (try it!). But the gluttony doesn't stop there....first add wine: nice little wine list with some good inexpensive basics. Come on, get a chianti!! Then you must pick your pasta... the man had the lobster stuffed ravioli which came out tricolored, very cool and very yum, especially with the alfredo.
Me, linguine with the red pepper pesto (oh god is it good) with a side of alfredo. You can never have enough cheese. Repeat, there is never enough cheese!!
They give you a huge portion, and believe me, take the leftovers home. I put the fork down shortly before they had to unhinge the door,. Stuffed and happy, like a ricotta shell..... and an hour later at home? Well, lets say there was a fork fight to the finish :)
