My son and I always make time for Mother-Son dinners. Last night, our dining experience went like this...
When we walked by this Tratorria style Italian gem, we couldn't help but ask ourselves "Do we want Italian?" We always ask ourselves this question before we walk into an Italian spot, because most times we are very disappointed. Being Italian you develop a taste for no nonsense GOOD Italian food made with simple, fresh, local ingredients. And the only time you can add the "GOOD" is when it comes out of my kitchen (or Grandma's kitchen). Except this time... WE LOVED THIS PLACE. And that's before we even sat down.
We were greeted immediately and allowed to sit where we chose. The waitstaff was more than helpful when it came to deciding on our Antipasta and Primi.
Our food came out fast, hot and fresh!
The special of the day, Maltagliati -- Pork belly, English peas, parmigiano, was amazing. I caught myself licking my fork over and over (And I was embarrassed when my son pointed it out!)
We were full and HAPPY when we left. We can't wait to go back!
PS I love that I am the first to Yelp this place!!
