This is not Olive Garden. This is Osteria Mamma. This is good.
I came here with Starchy Marie quite awhile ago. We had a Blackboard Eats 30% off deal...back when Blackboard Eats was still free. *sigh*
Because it was so long ago, I will simply say that I enjoyed this entire meal. I feel like Starchy Marie and I went to an Italian grandma's house and had a wonderful time. I definitely have fond memories of this night!
Polipolata -- grilled octopus, fresh celery, lemon, extra virgin olive oil, potatoes ($9.25).

For a more detailed (and far more immediate) reaction to the food, go read Starchy Marie!
I want that ravioli.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Italian restaurants always make me feel like I'm in someone's home.
ReplyDeleteLove Osteria Mamma! Been craving that squid ink pasta with bottarga. Must go back soon!
ReplyDeleteI feel like I drove by there recently, but I have no idea why that would be the case.
ReplyDeleteThat was a great story I just told.
This explains the unusual number of visits I got out of nowhere! Ha. I've been meaning to go back!
ReplyDeleteYum Italian

ReplyDeleteoh, that bolognese! that pasta looks so damn good. what can i say, my tastes are simple.
ReplyDeletebut you knew that already.
I'm finally gonna go tonight! :)
ReplyDeleteNo BBE, but they are on restaurant.com though they kinda charge way more than other restaurants, so gotta wait for the 80% off sale!
