I am not a fan of authentic Italian food but your blog made this place seem so good! The pictures are not professional advertisement pics so it made the review much more genuine! Thanks to you my wife and I enjoyed a place that was amazing! I would never have known much less considered going there if it wasn't for you! They owe you a commission on the $700 bill! Thanks Trini Foodie!
