"0"^^ . . . "I really liked my dinner here last night. I have not been in the restaurant since it was the Via Veneto years ago. I decided to give it a try after getting a coupon from Suncoast marketing.\n\nI was immediately taken by the change in customer service when I arrived. The hostess asked me if I wanted a table or booth. Both of these seat 4 people. I glanced toward the small bar area and saw small, high top bar tables, and I asked if I could sit there because I was alone. I was told I could wherever I wanted and she escorted me to a table there. There is a high cushioned bench running along the wall. Once you get up on the bench, there's a raised platform for your feet so you can be very comfortable at these tables.\n\nTami, the bartender, took my order and checked on me after every course was delivered to see if there was anything she could do and to see if I was satisfied with my meal. \n\nWhen ordering, I asked if the soups were cups or bowls. Being told they were bowls, Tami then said, \"But we can do a cup of soup for you.\" I ordered the Italian wedding soup that I haven't had in a long time. For the main course, I chose the veal picatta. And, they give you choice. You don't have to take pasta with every entree. I opted for vegetables that included some roasted potatoes. That's what I mean by the change in customer service.\n\nDessert was a tough one. There were so many choices I wanted to stay for a few desserts. I decided on the classic mud pie, and it was great! Cookie crumb crust, at least 3 inches high with coffee ice cream, drizzled with chocolate, and accompanied with some fresh strawberries and a raspberry and blueberry. \n\nI think it was a bit pricey as others have mentioned. I was quite pleased with the taste of the food and the service was the best! I will be back, this time with company."^^ . "2011-10-10T00:00:00"^^ . "2"^^ . "4"^^ . "2"^^ . .
