When You're Here, You're Family: Osteria Mamma

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).

  3. I feel like I drove by there recently, but I have no idea why that would be the case.

    That was a great story I just told.

    No BBE, but they are on restaurant.com though they kinda charge way more than other restaurants, so gotta wait for the 80% off sale!
