Since we probably won't know the winner of The Orange Prush (aka Prussian) and his sidelick - Pretty Fly for a White Guy vs Slappy Joe and Kamel Toe (or Nose) for a few days (who are we kidding), I will freestyle another restaurant review for you. I tried this Italian spot in a strip mall at Lake Underhill and Goldenrod last Wednesday night after the King Crab disaster. I grabbed a five meatball sampler to go for $13 ($4 extra for one). The plus $4 was for a gator one that tasted like a bready crab cake minus the crab. Avoid that. And I don't get why you pay an extra $4 and it is still included in your five. They have around a dozen types. All raquetball size. I tried: traditional, sausage, chicken parm and spicy. They were best in that order. The traditional was your basic meatball. Not dense. The sausage had fennel and was covered in white cheese. The parm was ground chicken. It needed more cheese. The spicy was probably pork. Very spicy. Mushy. Fell apart too easily. They smothered them in a good, plain tomato sauce. A small sqaure of underbaked foccaccia on the side. They also serve up some pasta and apps and entrees. I forget the pasta company they source from. They made a big deal about it. A chocolate place too. The meatballs can be had on foccaccia. The space is divided into a counter (to go) in the front and an enclosed room just beyond. Maybe eight tables. Their covid hours (they Karen you with a temperature check and hand sanitizer requirement) are 3pm to 9pm M-W and 11am to 9pm Th-Sa. They were on 3D. A friend said he wasn't impressed. I thought it was good. I'd have to try a little more to be sure. It seemed like they cooked the meatballs to order. That's a plus. They have been around for a while.
*Also in the complex were two Latin plays. Estrella something and Rincon something. Next post will have travel info addendum!
