Casa D’Angelo’s

Pretty good Italian place.  Nothing out of the ordinary or remarkable, but we would definitely go back.

Maria’s

A small neighborhood Italian cafe.  The kind you just ‘happen across’.  The food was good and the service was friendly.

Arrabiata’s

24 February, 2009 | Italian | By: Mrs Z

It was recommended by friends who said it was “outstanding” both from a food and service standpoint.  We didn’t find either to be even close!  There are so many outstanding Italian restaurants to choose from that we would have no reason at all to ever return here.

Il Bacio

Another one of Little Italy’s fine restaurants!  It was very good, with very authentic Italian food. The place was tiny, but the service was excellent.

Bice Ristorante

2 December, 2008 | Fine Dining, Italian | By: Mrs Z

Primarily a Northern Italian menu.  None of our usual chicken or eggplant parm. or traditional lasagna, however an awesome menu with excellent food.  Definitely a ‘white tablecloth’ place (which also translates to $$$$$ – but worth it). All of the servers had on tuxedos and white napkins over their forearms.  Everything was wonderful and our server was very knowledgeable and […]

We were very happy to see something in the ‘fine dining’ arena come to this area and were pretty satisfied with our experience.  The menu was unique and interesting and the service was pretty good.  Overall, our entrees were very good, but a couple of the things weren’t heated all the way through.  The server happily […]

Vaccaro’s Trattoria

26 August, 2008 | Italian | By: Mr Z

Interesting decor and pretty good food.  More Northern Italian than what we prefer (Southern), but still good.  Unfortunately however, there are way too many really good Italian places for us to see a need to travel 25+ miles just for average.  It would have had to have been outstanding – and it wasn’t.

Venezia

22 July, 2008 | Italian | By: Mrs Z

OMG – this place was HORRIBLE.  I’m not sure which was worse, the service or the food (once we finally got it).  They had the air-conditioning on so low that you could almost see frost forming (not so great where hot food is involved – who wants a cold meal).  Honestly, we waited over an hour […]

Russo’s

15 July, 2008 | Italian | By: Mr Z

A seriously wonderful little Italian place with a warm and confortable atmosphere.  We could tell that it must have a huge following since it’s extremely hard to find and the place was absolutely packed on a Tuesday night!  Would love to go back (if we could ever find it again)!

Emilio’s

8 July, 2008 | Fine Dining, Italian | By: Mrs Z

A nice little Italian place located in a strip center.  We were very surprised at how large it was once inside.  Very nicely decorated, and the menu was extensive.  They had a nice mix of both northern AND southern Italian dishes and everything we tried was really good.  Would most definitely go back.
