This is one of the town’s institutions. A meeting place for kids – my kids went plenty times. Today is my first time there, with a friend and her three kids. We ordered a large mushroom/pepperoni, 5 drinks (two are 16 oz water) and an order of garlic bread, totally $39.58. The lady asked me if I’d like a receipt, I said no. Maybe I should have: they didn’t give me the bread. Oh well. The pizza is good, so is the water.

We walked into this Italian restaurant on a Friday evening at 6:35pm, without a reservation. They were kindly enough to accommodate us, with one condition: leave the table by 8:15 for 8:30 diners. Fair enough, thank you.
The house specials. The waiting staff’s accent meets my inadequate English, the list seems extremely long. Not to disappoint him, I ordered the first two that I remembered. The fried calamari (did he say fried? …) is soft and pretty good. The grill cheese showed I clearly didn’t understand or remember. Three pasta off the menu are really good, al dente and tasty. Tuscany’s Chianti Ser Jacopo is yummy.
Their bathroom is a floor below. I joking asked if I could ride their elevator – my legs aren’t as fresh as 20 years ago. The young man was kindly escort me down. Guess it’s not for the average Janes or Joes.
I though we have more than enough time but with three kids, we barely kept our promise: left at 8:08. The lonesome duckie is still in the parking lot.
