The Italian Connection

The fresh, homemade, gluten and dairy free noodles were DELICIOUS!! PERFECT texture, chewiness, noodle size...so good!! I had to add a little red pepper to my red sauce because I thought it was lacking just a hint of something, and that was it BUT this is purely just a personal preference and not a criticism. The building may seem out of place or even small on the outside but it's a decent size (we had a party of 20+ and we took up one room and they had another room on main level and then an upstairs level)...its been there for 40+ years and still has that family atmosphere, the walls covered in the family's photos throughout the years adds to that feeling. The portions were not American sized but actual portion size, and although we didn't leave with leftovers, we left feeling full but not miserable, and we were both able to enjoy dessert.....yes, dessert! Which for a girl like me that has a severe allergy to dairy and severe intolerance to gluten (plus 5 other food intolerances....and yes I know, going to an authentic Italian place to eat with these allergies, be like 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️😁), the fact that I was able to get a dessert was amazing 👏 and it was custard with a fresh strawberry sauce, and delicious!! We spent $80 for 2 of us (total includes a $20 tip because she was good, knowledgeable, and on top of everything) and we had fresh Italian bread at the table, I had a glass of wine (he a soda), he had an appetizer, and we each had our main entree which included a house salad with homemade dressing (again, allergy friendly for me) and our desserts for that price makes it easily comparable to Applebee's or Olive Garden prices BUT the food is way better here!!
