I have to tell you that two dishes spaghetti and meatballs and lasagne put me totally off “Italian” food. My late husband loved spaghetti and meatballs but he hated pasta.  Spaghetti, he would carefully explain, was not pasta. Far too much dry potluck lasagne cured me of that dish!  Eventually I did discover some pasta dishes that I enjoyed but it will never be a cuisine that calls out to me. Having said that, I was a huge fan of @Adam Balic’s generously shared knowledge of Italian cooking and tradition.

The food and service are excellent. Jim asked for spaghetti and meatballs, not on the menu.  They kindly offered to make some pasta with meat sauce. He accepted but informed me that any decent Italian restaurant would make spaghetti and meatballs and I had clearly taken him to a sub-par operation.
