The Italian House

This was a very impressive meal. I grew up with Italian grandparents, grandpop was from Naples, and grandmom was from Sicily. They could both cook, and I grew up with authentic and delicious Italian meals made from scratch. I know what Italian food tastes like when it is done right, and last night it was done RIGHT! Our service was timed perfectly, and as we met with colleagues and friends and discussed life and business, we were treated to an incredible meal. My meal started with a wedge caesar salad with Anchovies and it had an amazing caesar dressing that was just the right blend of savory caesar flavor when combined with the croutons and cheese and Anchovies. It was so good! I had seafood cannelloni with marinara and alfredo sauce for my main course. It was cooked perfectly and had a great blend of fillings and cheese. The first bite required my knife because they had used cheese so well that I had to cut off the strands connecting it to the main portion so I could eat it without making a mess. The consistency of the cannelloni was perfect, and the mouth feel of biting into perfectly prepared pasta was an absolute treat. My dessert was the Creme Brule. If a restaurant offers it, I must try it. It was everything our server promised it would be. The custard was creamy and delicious, and the sugar was perfectly browned on top for that crispy/crunchy bite. To put this meal over the top, I found out that they now have gluten-free pasta and bread. This was something that was not available last time I checked with them. Guess who will be taking their wife on a date soon? Yep, it's me. I will definitely be back, and I will bring friends and colleagues. A special thanks to Ashley for making our evening so much fun. Ashley was present but not intrusive, and she had a great knowledge of the menu and was able to help several of us customize dishes to make them the best they could be.

This is a cozy, local restaurant. The menu is Italian, all made from scratch. There are gluten free pastas available, and other gluten free options. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere is welcoming. There is a large patio available for dining and a separate bar.
