La Brezza's is good, but the best is Sandro's just on Edmonton Trail a few blocks south of McKnight. If you like clams, you should try out their linguini and clams with red wine sauce. Anytime we go to any Italian restaurant, we're always comparing the food to there! Hahaha!

Cilliberti's you fools.

$80 for 2 people (2 apps, main course, drinks a plenty, dessert)

The food is good, and the atmosphere at night is good, and for some reason its deserted all the time.

And its independently owned, and the owner sometimes serves you. If he isn't there, it's a FOXY Italian waitress who is FOB and barely speaks english.

When I used to be rich, the first time I tipped her, I paid $60 for the meal and left her an $80 tip.

Granted I was young and in love with her, and a baller...
(I wonder why I have no money now?)

I'd have to say Bion Giorno is the best so for, for me, but I'll have to try those other restaurants sometime.

which one?? the North location isn't good, but that's because they don't know what they're doing up there, their kitchen staff are just plain dumb.
