Now that our daughter lives in north GA and we are in south Atlanta, get togethers are tough. But for a combined birthday celebration we settled on this gem. There were 7 of us and I reserved a table, which was a good idea. With 3 adults, 3 finicky teenagers and a VERY talkative 5 year old, our server Kayla had her hands full. But she never lost patience, never broke character. She memorized our orders, and despite many, many changes to the "official" menu, she got it all right. Catering to 3 vegetarians and one gluten-free diet, we ordered pastas, pizzas, salads and more. My Italian husband's Shrimp Diavolo was the best he's ever eaten, and I loved the special, which was Beggars Purse Pasta stuffed with cheese and pears! My 19 yo grandson took several bites and was sorry he hadn't ordered it. A less-sophisticated 15 yo didn't care for his pasta so they graciously changed it for him, and the 5 yo also gave her pasta to another sibling and then asked for a child's pizza. The gluten-free spaghetti tonight was spaghetti SQUASH, perfectly done, healthful and delicious. We all managed dessert, and everyone got something different: tiramisu, cheesecake, gelato, cannoli and chocolate souffle!
Definitely our most-expensive meal out with all this crew, but also worth it. Next birthday we're bringing them one at a time!
