| - I drive by this restaurant every day, and didn't know it was there. It is a hidden treasure that I am so happy I found. I was at a First Friday event downtown tonight and when my friends and I were deciding where to go for dinner, one of the owners happened to be at the event, she called and got us a reservation right away! We were shown to our table and treated like members of the family. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere very pleasant and comfortable.
I ordered the Melanzane Vesuvio which is eggplant lightly floured and fried, baked with mozzarella, fresh herbs & rosata sauce. I am not sure what was in that sauce, but to steal from another review, it was heaven in my mouth. It was delicious and perfectly cooked. I ordered the spaghetti squash in place of pasta and was so happy with my choice as were my dinner companions who also opted for the squash. There was not a dot of food left on any plates. The portions were just perfect, we all left satisfied without the stuffed feeling that I usually experience when indulging in Italian food. Switching the squash for pasta is such a great option, I don't know why more restaurants don't offer it.
I will be back very soon, I can't wait to try some of the other items on the menu and to introduce Harley's to my friends!
