Smeraldos_2

Smeraldo's ::: This place is just outside of town and is like walking into a movie set of The Godfather meets The Twilight Zone inside of a motel from the 1970s. There was only one other car in the Wal-Mart sized parking lot and no one inside except for Biagio, the spirited Sicilian owner who "knows this business!" and has been serving great Italian eats since the early 80's when the place opened. The food was immense and delicious and he proudly showed us a big hunk of ricotta cheese "I make it all myself, by my own hands." The jukebox was killin' and the company was a gem. This is my favorite place in town. Can't wait to bring the band back here before our March 10th show at The Basement... wheee.
