I appreciated your comment.  The Villa Venice was my father's restaurant which we closed in the 70's.  Not many people remember it, but those that do generally remember it fondly.

Biga is the only really good Italian....once there was Villa Venice which was gold.

I remember Villa Venice's radio commercials back in the 1960s.  I also used to like the Italian Inn in the 1970s, but my memories are probably better than it actually was.

More recently, I have always liked Ti Amo, but I haven't been there in about 2 years.  I make a lot of Italian at home, so when I go out Italian is not my first choice.

The absolute BEST Italian in the state is Petes Place in Krebs...Well worth the drive, also a good place for a brew as Choc beer is made in the Brewery next to the Restaurant.

Like their beer, but theres way better Italian out there...

My favorite place of all time is long gone.

Mondo's quite possibly had the best Chicken Parmesan I ever tasted, and their Lasagna was top notch as well.

I disagree. Pete's is WAY overrated. I was not impressed at all. It was the most average uninteresting Italian food I've ever eaten. Many years ago I went to Rosanna's in Krebs with my sister -- now THAT was some excellent Italian food. I still remember the gnocchi. Mmmmm...  Is Rosanna's still there?

And if you really need a Choc beer they have it at McNellie's.

somewhat on subject..
I consider Italian food to be "romantic"
