Catullo's Italian

This place is simply awesome and cannot do any better! It is a true Mom and Pop Italian restaurant that serves authentic Italian dishes sorry, not Italian American, but the real deal from the Old Country. Not alot of heavy creams or meaty sauces, but expect instead to have your taste buds absolutely come alive with garlic and olive oil, Portobello mushrooms and black truffle oil, balsamic glaze with citrus infusion... you just have to eat it to believe it. Their menu has a core set of entrees and side dishes, but every month they also add specialties to the menu that absolutely blow your mind away. The only problem is that then those specials that you loved go away. Hmmm, the owner is going to have to fix that! And to speak of the owners, they and their staff are constantly coming around to ask how you are doing, if you like the dish, would you like to try their current favorite this or that. Great welcoming atmosphere. But you better plan your arrival time, because the eating area is not large, and the waiting crowd can be, and NO ONE leaves once they are waiting because the food is that damn good! My wife and I are making a point to come here twice a month because of how much we appreciate the staff, enjoy their company (I 'm talking about you, AJ! and love the food. Oh, you want to know what dish my photo is of? That is the braised short ribs ravioli in a light garlic, black truffles, and olive oil sauce, topped with fresh Parmesan Romano cheese. And yes, it 's one of those specials that will vanish soon, so get there now!

The line is fake. They let 2-4 tables in after cryptically opening 1 blind. Then 2-4 more tables are let in.,, creating an illusion Outback Created 30 years ago. Food comes out too fast because it 's not cooked! After which,there 's no line . Undercooked sticky pasta. Raw garlic in the sauce. Kids pasta was undercooked swimming in butter, swimming. Flat water comes in Aquapan- which I 'm good with, why not the cap?! This a an expensive joke. Carrabba 's is consistent. Jax doesn 't know good food. Ambience- the cryptic seating created an illusion it 's full in demand. It 's loud, crowded go elsewhere. 1 out of 10

I just want to share that this restaurant l is one of the best experiences in Italian food I've had in a long time. They cook the sauce for 4 hours just like my mother did back from the old days. It's that deep rich red sauce pasta pasta is all fresh.You won't be able to get on a reservation it's a first-come-first-serve so it makes it fair for everyone. Be prepared to wait, but it's certainly worth it.Here is a picture of myself and the owner of the restaurant. They're getting ready to open up in nocatee community of Florida. I highly recommend checking out the restaurant.
