When we visited my aunt in Connecticut, we had a list of Must Try Restaurants, but since we didn't have a place for every meal, she also got to take us to some of her favorite Bueno, Bonito, Barato (BBB- which stands for Good, Nice and Cheap at the same time, so it's not enough that it's on sale - it has to be Good and Nice too!) places.
She brought us to Mario's Place in Westport, CT. |
Even at lunch, the bar was a busy place. She used to come here with Uncle Hans when we was still alive. |
The place mat is like the bar, it has old school charm. |
I was on vacation, so when Auntie Celit that the bread was good. I had to try it and she was right. Crusty parts for me, soft parts for Fi. |
But it was the butter that was to die for. Super salty and rich. We took home what was left on the table. Hahahahaha. |
Auntie Celit and Uncle Hans used to go every Wednesday, to have the London Broil Special. |
I never had the London Broil before, it's a steak dish that was really good. For US$8.95 - it's indeed BBB. Even Sofia enjoyed it. |
Auntie Celit had the burger and it also looked good. |
But the best part about Italian places is really the coffee and the dessert.
No lame-assed Capuccino here. |
We also had the Tartuffo (ball of Ice Cream), which was already sliced when it was served. |
The Spumoni (Pistachio, Cherry, Chocolate and Vanilla Ice Cream with dried fruit bits) was also good. |
If you ever find yourself in CT, you may want to look up Mario's Place. I think we will now add it to our Must Eat List for a Wednesday, the next time we visit Auntie Celit. just saying.
