| - What a dark place, It's romantic lighting I guess? There's a lotta ambient lighting from the open door, but it could be a bit lighter. We randomly showed up here because we wanted to go to the waffle house but it was packed (2 hour wait... yea not happening). So italian is a good go to for me to try so we stopped here. We parked in the back streets. Nice place to walk around.
The waiter was really nice, I think he must be related to the owner or is the owner since he was not dressed the same as everyone else.
We had the bread and olive oil, it was not super strong olive oil but it was pretty good, and some really nice parm to go with it :)
We also go the garlic toast, wow it's strong stuff, i loved it but if you don't like super strong garlic with a sting, stay away.
The Shrimp Del Grotto was very good, a bit overly salty, the guy actually noted that it looked darker than normal, it wasn't to the point of not good so I kept it.
The Scallop Scampi was also very good, nice big scallops, even the picky lil girl liked them.
The calamari was pretty good as well.
The butter for the bread (which they serve normally, you have to ask for the olive oil) is a bit too solid, but it is some kinda red pepper butter and tasted good.
We did show up here on a Sunday around 2 pm, so it worked out that it wasn't too busy, the bar was hopping cuz there was some game going on and a lotta cheering which breaks that whole dark romantic mood lol. Talk about conflicting message from teh same place but overall a place I'd go to again. It is pricey though fyi.
