The Fettuccine Alfredo and Shrimp Scampi are the only two dishes I’ll eat there.

*Disclaimer: I admit I'm poking fun at the topic here (not at you personally).

However, I'd say any "Italian" restaurant whose menu lists "Shrimp Scampi" rather than just "Scampi" isn't really authentic. "Scampi" IS shrimp prepared a certain way; "Shrimp Scampi" is simply redundant. ;-)

Thanks for the tip! I've always ordered the Shrimp Scampi without even knowing what the Scampi was!
