Last Friday I found myself running a few errands, and there was no way, I repeat NO WAY I wasn't going to my favorite Italian restaurant. The best thing about it is that is designed old fashioned and inexpensive. I had a tremendous experience of course, I ordered the Caprese Chicken Penne. This was the first time I ordered this dish and it is now, by far my favorite. The aroma of the food could just make your mouth water. How they presented it on the plate, I just had to take a picture.
I am a big fan of history so I just had to share my findings on where this food came from. You would think that tomatoes came from Italy because of how much its used in their dishes, WRONG. Those perfectly plump tomatoes actually came from the Americas and was taken to Europe by the Columbian Exchange. Italians didn't start using tomatoes until up to 500 years ago, I was astonished. The chicken used in the dish is actually from Europe and shipped to the Americas. The tasty mozzarella also came from Europe and was shipped to the Americas through the Columbian Exchange.
The food absolutely took my breath away. The noodles were cooked to perfection and the basil complemented it exceptionally. The chicken was nice and tender and was filled with flavor. The tomatoes were juicy and looked so pretty on the plate. Overall I would rate this dish a 5 star and the customer service was definitely up to par.
