The best Italian Restaurant is... email this discussion to a friend?

Ok, it's a bogus statement. Everyone has their favorite. Different parts of the country have different Italian districts or specific Italian restaurants that are local favorites. I have been to a great Italian place in St. Louis called Charlie Gitto's, another great place in Baltimore which name escapes me, but the memory of the Osso Buco does not. I live in Kansas City and have enjoyed Lydia's, which is more Northern Italian fare, as well as more traditional Italian fare at Cascone's (which I was happy to find was distributing their wonderful sauce at local grocery stores). I miss a great little place on the Country Club Plaza which closed down called Frondizzi's.

If I travel to your town, where should I go for the best in Italian food? By the way, if it's a national chain, I'ma gonna have to smack you!

There is a restaurant in Manassas, Virginia that has food that is so delicious it will practically melt in your mouth. and You might have to smack me, but I also have to say that I really like Carrabas Italian Grill. It is really good for a chain restaurant. I think there are some chains that are really pretty good.

I have to agree that Carrabas is pretty good, but nothing like the mom-and-pop restaurants. Carrabas does a good job, but I find their menu limited.

I love Chichi's restaurant. They make pizza and pasta from scratch...really fresh from the oven. I've been to a lot of Italian restaurants but I always compare them with Chichi's. Nothing beats the taste of their pasta. For a more pricey Italian restaurant Maggiano's is a bit popular but for some reason I don't like their pasta there. Pizza is ok but spaghetti is nothing compared to Chi-chi's. Maria's is casual but very popular too and they do have good pasta there...still I like Chi-chi's better. It's here in S. California: http://www.chichispizza.com/ourmenu.html

I haven't found a good italian restaurant here in Colorado. They either taste like you could get it frozen at Walmart, or they have crappy service! And the biggest thing that is worse of all, is that a majority of all that I've tried are definitely overpriced!

So I can't say much for italian restaurants here in colorado.

There have been so many different little Italian Restaurants that I have visited all over England. My favourite would have to be a small one in the Lake District. Unfortunately, I cannot remember its name or exact whereabouts but the food was wonderful, the staff were incredibly friendly and the design of the restaurant was lovely despite it being very small. I ate one of the most fantastic lasagnes of my life and it was not very costly at all. My family ate pizzas and I tasted some of there's with approval. If I ever go back I will make sure to visit them again.
