I think my fave used to be Olive Garden. A few of these Johnny Carinos sprouted up in the valley and I just never tried it. Our family took a road trip one day and decided toward the end of it that we would stop there and give it a try. Can I just say, YUM?! The bread that they start you out with is so soft and warm and they drizzle olive oil with onion flakes to dip the bread in. The dish that I think is my new favorite is the Bowtie Festival. It has chicken, tomatoes, bacon and red onion with a cream sauce. The plate sizes are enormous so there's enough for lunch the next day, too. My husband has also ordered the Artichoke pasts which was really good too! My daughter had spaghetti and meatballs, but she said it was too spicy. The drinks are great and the service has been super. I also got to try cannoli, which I never had before, and it was awesome as well, although needs to be shared as its a good sized serving and VERY rich. The prices are pretty reasonable especially considering what you get!
