The Olive Garden and all the other chains are fast-food Italian...anybody in the St. Louis area knows that if you want real Italian food, you go to *The Hill*...

I'm with you guys. ”Freeway Italian” is filth. We had a “red sauce” lunch yesterday (fettucine with pancetta in red sauce) and I'm still tasting it mentally. There are still a good many family Italian places around if you know where to look. There's a place in Yonkers that I dream about. The things they do to crab there... yum!

Next to Italy, the best place for real Italian food is at home. Although my wife and I are of the Kraut persuasion, we cook trad Italian as often as we can.

Everybody owes themselves a trip to Italy at least once in their lives. The friendliest people in Europe, fantastic eats, and (for you single fellows) the best-looking chicks on the Continent. Talk anout la dolce vita!

Ah, the Hill!! Home of Yogi Berra and the best Italian food in St.Louis. I wish I wasn't 100 miles away from there. I could go for some Cunneto's canneloni about now, or an Amaghetti's special for watching the Cards tonight.
