Mario's Place in Westport, CT

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.
