I've been driving by Tavani's for years and meaning to try it. I was glad when I finally did. This family-run place serve good quality traditional Italian food in an unpretentious setting. The portions are generous and dinners include bread, salad, soup and small glass of chianti. I loved the calamari appetizer. My veal parmigiana was good. I almost burst when I finished the excellent tiramisu. I should have eaten less and taken more home. Prices were reasonable: dinners were all in the $12-$18 range.
You used to find places like this all over the place. Now they are being closed down by the bland corporate factories, like Olive Garden. Do your part to make sure these kinds of places survive.
