I know, I've already written about Lombardi's but guess what, it was so delicious and too awesome to pass up on again! Although the second time was for a special celebration and not a girls night out. My sister organized a nice dinner for Mother's Day weekend for our mom, my girls, our dad, her, and myself.
We got out seating underneath the beautifully lit and comfortable booths underneath the indoor large trees that take up the space in the middle of the main dining room area. The environment was as wonderful as the first time and the food was just as delicious if not more!
Appetizers and starters were ordered for the table, which is something that we didn't get to do for the girls night out. So not only were they delicious but they were well done as well; suggestions would be the calamari, meatballs, and their Italian chopped salad. The order that I labeled the dishes is the order that I'll expand on; calamari - nicely crispy but not overly so like many other restaurants where your basically biting into the batter of what was fried with very little calamari and the sauces they provide that compliment are just as delicious! Meatballs-are both tender and nicely sized, they also weren't stingy on the serving (like again some other restaurant) with their tomato marinara not overly acidic nor too tomato-y to provoke heartburn or this very tomato paste after flavoring. So my favorite chopped salad is usually ordered at Magliano's but when you're wanting a small portion and still refreshingly delicious, Lombardi's Italian Chopped Salas should be something that you order!
Entrees of course were not a disappointment and even more delicious (I feel) this round. A twist for the evening was that our dad ordered their Surf and Turf equivalent and OH MY GOD was it mouth watering on so many levels! Not only was it worth EVERY bite but the plate itself was just colorful and so fresh. Vegetables nicely cooked, the mashed potatoes were nicely whipped and fluffy-to have potatoes created where they are light and though it's a starch! They didn't make you feel full and heavy after eating them. The lobster was divine and beyond delicious, while the meat-oh my Atlanta the meat...juicy, tender, thick, great portion, and addicting. That is something we highly suggest and recommend for anyone to order! Shoot even if it's the items as their own entrees.
What really has now set apart this specific restaurant to others is the nice touch they provide when you bring your own baked goods in celebratory means. They hold your cake for you in the back (their kitchen) but its their presentation of bringing that baked good to you-they have a nice little cart where they slice and serve; truly a nice touch.
So take it from me, for your special occasion they know how its done too!
Sincerely,
A Distinct Woman
