It was so nice to get out for Date Night, with my husband (I love saying that)!
I recommended we go to "The Saucy Meatball" because, I drive through Gateway everyday to get to work and watched it being built. And, of course, I love Italian food!
We were seated right away. Kim was our server, she was great! :)
We ordered from the "Specials Menu" - we started with the appetizer, "Cousin Vinny's Fresh Mozzarella Paradiso" - Fresh mozzarella rolled with ricotta and prosciutto breaded and lightly fried served with a side of marinara sauce - it was delicious, perfectly breaded and filled. We shared a "House Salad" - Romaine, mixed greens, olives, cucumbers, croutons, carrots, celery, tomato with house dressing - generous portion of salad, perfect for a couple to share. My husband ordered the "Flavors of Italy" - Pork, eggplant and shrimp parmigiana baked with marinara sauce and mozzarella served with a side of spaghetti - He said it was the best Italian he has ever had, the pork was so tender, melt in your mouth (I tried a bite, it was), and he said it was just as amazing when he heated it up the next day. I ordered the "Steak Pizzaiola" - Filet tips sautéed in red wine marinara sauce with onions, peppers, & fresh mozzarella cheese served over pappardelle pasta - Every bite was amazing, the pasta and filet tips were cooked perfectly, the tips were so tender. I wish we had enough room for dessert - which was "Rum Chata Vanilla Bread Pudding", sounds so delectable.
We will DEFINITELY we back - so many deliciously sounding items on the menu to try!
Fantastic place! Just recently opened about a month ago. Wonderful polite service. The owner/manager, Alex, was very gracious. Had the Blackened Mahi-Mahi over Jasmine rice with small shrimp and grilled asparagus served with a red pepper cream sauce, which is a special. Fantastic! They use locally source products when available, to include the seafood. They have a large wine list along with a good selection of local micro-brews. Fantastic!
I met the owners a few days ago, and decided to take my wife for dinner tonight for the first time.
My wife's Father (my Father-in-Law) was born and raised just outside of Catania, Sicily, and my wife was "raised on" Sicilian food. After her Father passed away, she has been searching for a place she says "feels like home."
She knows good Sicilian food when she eats it!
We started with the authentic Gnocchi Milan with a "home-style" marinara, and ended with the Italian Chicken pizza with ham, ricotta, blue cheese and mozzarella.
We were impressed.
The owner even came to our table and made her "feel like a Queen." It was amazing!
We will be back. A++
