I love to read anything concerning food. I collect recipes from magazines, the food network, other online cooking sites, etc. I am addicted to the food network and HGTV. My favorite food to eat is Mexican food.

Great Italian Food

My daughter took me to this restaurant on Mother’s Day. Neither one of us had been there before. We were seated immediately and the server asked if we would like to order an appetizer. I didn’t want to because Italian food is rather filling but my daugter wanted garlic bread with marinara sauce for dipping. After she ordered, they brought a basket of warm bread and dipping oil which the server hadn’t told us would be included with the meal; otherwise, we would not have ordered the garlic bread. Other than that, the service was quick and drinks were refilled instantly.

shrimp scampi

Five large shrimp, cooked to perfection, on a bed of linquini and tossed with butter, oil and garlic. The shrimp were huge and the pasta was cooked al dente. I also had a side salad, which comes with the meal. I don’t know the name of the salad dressing but it was one of the best dressings I have ever had; lots of garlic! I would go back just to have a salad with this dressing. I didn’t understand what the server called it because he spoke very fast. We were also offered fresh ground parmesan and pepper. The dessert tray was brought to the table, filled with wonderful looking sweets. We split the taramisu because I had read a review that it was the best and it was. I am not a big fan of tiramisu but this was very, very good.
