Every holiday season I make it a point to watch 'Moonstruck', which then makes me crave Italian food. There is a restaurant here in town called Mezza Luna, and it's been there since I think the 1930s. I went a few times with my family as a kid. Several years ago it burned down but the family rebuilt. Despite living here for over 4 years, we never went (except for the Paint Night I did in March). I told Russell I was dying for good Italian food, so we went on Dec. 23rd.
The decorations inside were absolutely GORGEOUS.
The food was amazing. We got fried mozzarella to start off and it was to die for, esp. the marinara. The salads were even outstanding, as was the bread. Russell got prime rib and he could practically cut it with his fork. My stuffed shells in meat sauce were deeeeelicious. We are hoping to go again tonight or tomorrow!!!!
This is the street side of the restaurant. How gorgeous!
Since we were already out and on Main Street, I asked him to take me down to the park so I could get a few snaps. The town decided that they were not going to put the lights and scenes at the 2 rotaries at either end of town, but they at least put up stuff in the park. It was raining and I had no tripod with me.
This was new....and I have to say he looks a bit psycho. Or angry. Or both.
Hope you enjoy it again when you do go. Love all the decorations. Maybe Santa was teed off because he has chains round his ankles.
ReplyDeleteLOL! I made that same comment to Russell about the chains.
DeleteSanta's trying to figure out why the Northeast is so warm this year! Hard to get those reindeer moving in the heat.
ReplyDeleteOh my, that restaurant sounds wonderful!
I haven't complained about the nice, warm weather up here. Although today we have a skim coat of icy snow but the temp is up to 42 so it should melt soon I hope! And yes, the restaurant is incredible. Can't wait to go back!
DeleteLovely and so festive!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yes it is! Or...was....not sure how long they are keeping them up. I assume till the beginning of next week.
DeleteHey JoJo,

DeleteAll looks so festive. That restaurant looks good.
ReplyDeleteIt really was....I missed the lights at the rotaries but at least downtown was decorated. I think we are headed back to the restaurant tomorrow.
