T Stands For Returning to DeFazio's

This was not the post I had planned, but I wanted to get it off my camera.

Today my foodie friend Sally and I are returning to DeFazio's.  It's practically in my neighborhood, so we didn't have far to go.

Sometimes their service is good, and sometimes it's so slow, you don't really want to eat there. 

However, after they remodeled, the service has been much faster.

When we first arrived, we were seated in the first room.  Although you can't tell from the photo of the restaurant (the photo above this one), there was a large group who were loud boisterous, and where we were seated, we could also hear the noise of dishes being slammed together.  I politely asked if we could sit in a quieter place because we had not seen each other for awhile and had a lot of catching up to take place, which we couldn't do if we couldn't hear each other.

This is the lunch menu.  Note our water with lemon.

Can you tell what I'm ordering?  If not, just look for my watermark.

I also took photos of the rest of the menu, including the drinks (BEVANDE).

Here are the entrees.  Sally always orders from this menu.

I can't stand the oil and vinegar they use on their Italian salads, so I always ask for Ranch dressing, instead.

Sally's meal was spaghetti and meatballs.  I, of course, got shrimp scampi with fettuccine Alfredo.

I guess I wanted to be sure I got our water before I put my camera away.

After we ate, while Sally was boxing up her leftovers, I took the opportunity to take a few photos of the art on the walls.

This mirror showed both rooms in the newly remodeled establishment.

If someone speaks Italian, perhaps you can translate.

This was the piece, which is HUGE I might add, I was facing when I wasn't talking to Sally.  Thanks for joining me today.
