I want to support the local businesses. I now live in an area where there are no good Italian food. What do I do? I go online and do a thorough search and here it is. I present to you Cacio E Pepe Italian Restaurant.
Tucked, or more like, hidden away by the massive road construction around the area, we find the restaurant with relative ease between a small coffee shop and a convenient store in a small stretch of shops, I was surprised.
The first rule of any food business is location. So if the location of the restaurant is relatively difficult to find, the food has to be good. We showed up on a Sunday around 9pm and the restaurant was still full. Impressed, we found a table and I took a peak around the tables to see what they were having.
We ordered the risotto, seafood pasta, and a pizza, and a coke. Bill was $80.
I have no gripes with the price but I do have some gripes.
I don't know if a neighborhood restaurant serving Italian food should be charging that much per plate. I didn't think that the risotto or the seafood pasta was nothing I couldn't make myself, and the pizza was above average. Now, I have been to many Italian restaurants and I have paid more money for a plate of pasta than this but I am questioning the satisfaction and cost quotion here.
I might go back again if I am in the mood, and the lady that served us was extremely polite and nice to us. But I don't know if the food is good enough. Obviously I might be wrong about this restaurant because they obviously had a good crowd and a decent rating for the local site for people who I suspect don't know good food even if it hit them in their face, but I left the restaurant questioning what I just had, which is never a good sign.
I am holding on my judgement for now but I hope I will change my mind.
