| - I had been meaning to dine at Enrico's for some time but finally visited recently. The restaurant exterior is beautiful, the interior is simple and charming, and the patio is small but attractive. I dined outside on the patio.
The menu has plenty of selections but none that really jumped out me. I wanted mussels but it is served with a red sauce, when asked, the kitchen said they could use a garlic and lemon sauce instead which was appealing. The pizza sizes were too large for a single diner so I opted to forego that. The calzone and stromboli were appealing but I did not like the price point. The shrimp scampi appetizer seemed amazing but the entrée size had different ingredients that did not appeal to me. However, the party seated next to me were served spaghetti that looked good and smelled incredible. Ultimately, I selected the shrimp appetizer but has an entrée size with a Caesar salad and cup of hot water.
I had to request silverware and received a black cloth napkin which I liked. However, when I unraveled the napkin, it had hair and crumbs on it. The replacement was utensils wrapped in a paper napkin, which was ok but I preferred a clean fresh smelling black cloth napkin. I received the cup of water, inserted a tea bag but it never steeped. When I checked the water is was lukewarm and lipstick was on the cup. When I was finally able to reach my service I asked for very hot water in a clean cup.
I receive the Caesar salad but the dressing had an overwhelming taste of mayo that I did not care for. Also, it did not have croutons and I really wish they were included. I received my entrée while I was still eating the salad. I wish many restaurants did a better job of timing the courses. After finishing the salad, I moved to the entrée of shrimp scampi. When I tell you it was a gorgeous dish, believe me. The fettucine pasta was light, the sauce was plentiful with lots of flavor, the shrimp were big and beautiful; I could not have asked for more. Also, the entrée was served with warm rolls and butter. I was in heaven and savored every bite.
Although I loved my entrée, I gave the restaurant 4 out of 5 stars because my server. The server was not attentive, it seemed as though I was a bother to her, at the end of my dinner a different server came to me to say my initial server had an emergency and left which was fine because she wasn't of much help to me. The deduction of one star is also because of the salad dressing, dirty napkin, unclean cup, and lukewarm water.
Will return to Enrico's, heck yeah. Do I recommend Enrico's to others, definitely.
