When I think of Italian food, Battista's always comes to mind. The hidden gem in plain sight. You've probably driven by countless times and never noticed it. Next time you're at The Linq, keep an eye out, it's right around the corner.
Walking through the door is like walking through a time machine. Back to the days of well dressed gentleman and classy dames. White linen tables and cozy booths, romantic lighting and always full of laughter. There's a quirky accordion player walking up and down the aisles offering tunes for a tip. The atmosphere definitely adds to the experience.
All the menus are displayed on the walls above you. So if you're blind like me, bring your glasses. Be prepared for large portions. Sharing is recommended. You start your meal with complimentary garlic bread and salad which are very tasty. Oh and did I mention the unlimited house wine. Red for me please! ;)
Shrimp Scampi, Chicken Alfredo, Steak Pizzaiola are all at the top of my list. I'm glad I was introduced to Battista's by a very dear friend of mine and happy to share it with you. Save room for the cappuccino, worth it for the whipped cream alone. Mmmmmmm.
