Appreciating the extended weekend, this past Tuesday I had
the fever for the flavor of Italian. On
a mission to curve my pasta appetite, I found myself meeting a friend for Happy
Hour at Andiamo’s on Mack Avenue located in Grosse Pointe Woods. For those of you who have been there, the
atmosphere is cozy and very welcoming. Upon
entry, you are immediately hit with the the sound of Italian music playing.
Normally, I’d go for a ravioli or fettuccine dish. Today, I
was feeling daring and ordered something I’d never tasted before. After completing my salad with homemade Italian
dressing, I decided upon the Stuffed Spinach Manicotti. Informed by Mary, our
most gracious server and bar tender that I could substitute the recipe’s marina
with their infamous Alfredo sauce, I jumped for joy and told her to place my
order.
Ladies and gentlemen, I was so glad that I decided on the
Alfredo Sauce. This dish was absolutely amazing.
In-fact, it was so good that my friend almost switched her order to what
I was having. Keep in mind people that it
was made without any meat. Yes people, after completing my meal, I was actually
full and very satisfied. I’m giving in
Andiamo’s four stars. If you are ever in
the mood for some real Italian, give them a try.
