    Default favorite italian restaurant? where?

    Hey..

    what is your favorite italian restaurant and where is it?




    I have to tell everyone i had the best dinner ever tonight!!

    I am a picky eater and had a seafood pasta from castalldi's in the citrus park mall.
    It had scallops,clams,mussels,shrimp, fetuccini and marinara sauce!

    It's not even really well known or anything, but the food BLEW ME AWAY!! (YUMMY!!!)

    I really like Carraba's (FL).


    Olive Garden is like the fast food of Italian places but I like their food too.

    LOL Same here, A. If I want genuine Italian, I cook it myself. I've gone to a place called "Pinelli's" (I think that's how it's spelled), in Providence. It's probably the best "restaurant" Italian food I've had. I was hooked on Olive Garden for a time, but that was when I was pregnant and constantly craving their Zupa Tuscany. Mmmm!

    you italian folk are sooo picky.. I love OG!!

    there's this excellent, cheapo italian restaurant in Little Italy on the East side of Cleveland called Mama Santa's ... absolutely the best pizza I've ever had. I swear, they must put crack in their sauce, because I get the shakes whenever I go over a week without having it!!

    I just went to Bella the other night in Hyde Park in Tampa and loved it and Friday I went to LaTerrazza (I think that's the right one) and it was good. I also like Bernini's but I might be biased because I know the owner. Now if I could just find a real snowball stand here in Tampa like they have in New Orleans I'd really truly be happy!

    I remember the place, small mom and pop joint, dessert afterwards LOL

    I miss our "East Side Marios" - pretty good for restaurant was replaced by a "Houlihan's" after five years though. Romano's "Macaroni Grill" is way better than "Olive Garden" IMO.

    As for a local joint "Pasta Cucina," New City, NY. Good food, generous portions and not too hard on the wallet. Good lasagna and penna a la vodka.

    Hey now, I had an excuse! I was pregnant! As you know, pregnant women go through a phase where they are not thinking clearly.. That's all I can plead.. LOL. Their soup was the best back then.

    LOL exactly. That place was great. Very comfy and cozy. I have never been to the Macaroni Grille, but we do have one in Warwick. But, we hardly go out to eat. I think that after the smoking ban goes into effect, I'll be more willing to take the baby out, then we can go out to eat again. I won't have her around people smoking-- ever. So, hopefully the RI ban happens soon. Hell, I'm a smoker, and I want the ban. Go figure. LOL

    East Side Mario's sounds very very familiar. Was that here in RI?
