| - Oh, I have missed you Danny Boy! I used to live within a couple miles of Danny Boys and delivered to my place all of the time. Well, back to the current day.
This is the type of place you want to take someone from out of town, since it is THE Rocky River landmark. On a Friday or Saturday night, the line is out the door. Play a few rounds of checkers while you wait...the boards are waiting for you.
The dining room (?) is small, with plastic checkered table clothes. A few TVs are in the upper corner to entertain those who are bored with the conversation. They serve beer and wine and cater to families in a relaxed atmospher. Don't expect to have a quiet interlude here because it's just not going to happen.
The decor is filled with Rat Pack and the dishes are named for them too. One of my faves is the Perfectly Frank Fettucini. It's a delicious mess of Italian Sausage, Chicken, bell peppers in a garlic cream sauce with rosemary. This is served with a huge house salad and loads of Woogie Bears, the house roll (made with Ricotta). It's a smart thing to share an entree or plan to take lots of food home with you.
My favorite Pizza is the Spicy White, with diced pepperoni and banana peppers and served with a light garlicy white sauce. When I die, I want a Spicy White on my tombstone. This one is killer good. The crust is brushed with olive oil and I think there is ricotta stuffed inside.
Parking is always a challenge and usually is behind Rego's Market, but it doesn't stop the crowds. You just can't get any better Pizza on the West Side and I'm never disappointed.
