Went with friends to Tillie's, haven't been for almost 20 years!
WHY DID WE LAPSE??? That's the mystery--
Everything was delicious. Portions are quite large, that we did remember.
Two of us had the *BARRAMUNDI*, marked as a chef specialty and it certainly was special - Creamy tomato basil risotto, topped with sauted spinach topped with the lightly cajun spiced fish with three nice sized cajun shrimp on the side.
Our gnocchi girl did not disappoint and she reports that the gnocchi was pretty yummy. Hubs had the spaghetti with meatball and sausage and was very happy as well.
Salads were fresh and crisp, bread was plentiful and soft. We had one minestrone with sausage soup and it also was declared very good.
Their iced tea was different, not brown, but black and naturally pretty sweet. I liked the variation very much.
Not sure why the lapse, but not going to Tillie's is a definite lapse in choosing your Italian dinner destination!
