Unpretentious, casual but fancy enough for a date family run independent Italian food at a good value.
Hidden in a strip mall next to peiwei you will find papa Razzini's, When you walk in you may notice that the age many of the customers is a bit older.
Your meal will start with complimentary bread and bruchetta, that is right, not butter, or olive oil but diced tomatoes with basil and spices. It's pretty good too; however I would enjoy a bit firmer bread. There is usually a special dish or two on a white board. There are also many vegetarian options on the menu. Dishes are made to order so if one has say pancetta and you don't want that you can ask for it to be omitted.
I usually opt for bow tie primavera, it is a fresh melody of vegetables in a light cream sauce, and I like it with extra garlic. The portion is decent for $10. I also enjoy the penne al la vodka sans pancetta.
I know the 90's are over but I still like the a la vodka sauce. It is a beat cream with a very unique tomato flavor as the vodka converts some tomatoes flavors to soluble ones.
For only $1.50 a small salad can be added to your meal. Service is decent, and the small parking lot view patio works.
