We are loving our retirement! At 75 years young, we are getting to enjoy our 17 grandchildren by going to their school and sporting events.
Although we miss visiting with our loyal customers, we were lucky enough to run into a few at our visit to the NEW RESTAURANT that has gone into our building.
AGAIN I MUST STATE THAT THIS IS NOT OUR RESTAURANT, AND NOT OUR RECIPES! They are using part of our name, “Mio Italiano”, to encourage our client base to give them a try, and hopefully return for many years to come.
We went to the soft opening back in March, and they realized that they had a few bugs to work out. Like any new business, it takes time, but I think they are on their way to making their own mark in the highly competitive restaurant business. The new tenants are a super nice couple, Tony and Jamie Uphoff.
On Saturday night the four of us walked in without a reservation, although you can make one on “Open Table”. We were pleasantly surprised from the beginning to the end of our meal. Bread was warm, olive oil, cheese, roasted garlic, balsamic vinegar, and THEIR version of tomato basil started us off. The calamari appetizer had a great tasting marinara for dipping. Salad was a generous portion, cold and crisp with a delicious creamy gorgonzola dressing that I ordered. Don had the Italian dressing and also enjoyed it. I loved my chicken piccata and side of risotto, and the chicken parmigiana was tender.
May I state again how incredibly thankful and blessed we have been, by having the honor to serve you for 30 years. Here is wishing the “Mio Italiano” a long and happy journey! Visit their website and page to see what they have in store for you! Buon appetito
