If Italian food is your thing then New England gives you many options. From big chains to smaller, more unique establishments, you’re sure to find one to your liking. Some will argue that the best around can be found in Providence on the famous Federal Hill. I myself beg to differ. If you don’t mind driving a little off the beaten path you’ll find a hidden gem. In a small plaza, just off 140 in East Freetown, is The Nephew’s Restaurant. If you want authentic, homemade, Italian cuisine, the freshest seafood or the biggest, juiciest steaks than The Nephew’s is the place for you.
Last Friday night me and my fiancée decided to venture out into the cold for dinner and decided to stay local. Upon entering the parking lot it doesn’t seem to be anything special, just another small town restaurant, but walk through the front doors and you’ll be pleasantly surprised. In the entrance way as well as along some of the walls inside you’re greeted by the framed, smiling faces of local boys and girls from baseball teams that the restaurant has sponsored. This was especially delightful for me as I scoured the walls to find my son and just as I was giving up hope there he was with his big toothless grin smiling up at me from under his one size too big baseball cap. These personal touches are one of the reasons Nephew’s is special.
If you’re lucky enough to arrive at just the right time, like we did, you’ll be seated without having to wait. Although it’s not a big place I’m sure that once you’ve had the pleasure of eating here you’ll agree that a short wait is worth the delicious food. Not only is the food good, but the atmosphere is as well. You will be greeted by some of the friendliest hostesses around, if not by one of th...

...become one of the regulars and come back and try some of the other dishes which include a variety of salads and sandwiches both open and closed ($4.95- $10.95), lots of Italian favorites such as Chicken Parm. ($10.95), a variety of steak and seafood dishes, their famous thin crust pizzas as well as several daily specials.
Christine came over and offered us dessert but being quite full we had to decline, although the Tiramisu was tempting. She gave us our bill which totaled $42.45. We thought this was quite reasonable for the homemade taste, great atmosphere and generous portions.
So if you’re looking for a touristy dinner in a big city you won’t be finding that here. But if you ever find yourself out for a drive and end up in the small town of Freetown looking for a nice cozy atmosphere with great food Nephew’s is the place for you!
When it comes to picking out a restaurant with family or friends things tend to get complicated. One person might want to go to a steakhouse, while the other wants Italian. Choosing a restaurant should focus on the quality of the food, the pricing of the food, and the competitiveness of that restaurant to its competitors. Olive Garden is one of the most revered Italian-American restaurants in the United States compared to its leading competitor, Maggiano’s. Olive Garden leads in lower prices, food options, complementary food, and even has lighter options for the health conscious.
I will be talking about Carmine’s Southern Italian Restaurant, Specifically the Theater District location where I work. Carmine’s located in the Theater District is a very successful establishment; I have met some of the hardest working individuals in my time of employment and have learned how the company works. They are a family style restaurant where all food is meant to be shared. Carmine’s implements a real good concept and I will be talking about all of things that help this business thrive and be a fan favorite in New York.
The most common is called the box combo, it is served with four chicken tenders, crinkle cut fries, coleslaw, Texas toast, canes sauce and a twenty-one ounce drink. It is valued at $6.79. You can substitute the sides and get more of one of the sides. For example I order the box combo with no coleslaw, and get extra Texas toast.
The chicken cheese and rice at Las Brisas was priced around seven dollars which is cheaper than El Torero’s but not by much. Waiting patiently for my food seeming as if I had sat in this booth for a whole life time, it had finally arrived. The cheese seemed to be piled on compared to El Torero’s. I also had more than enough to fill up and bring home here as
On the other hand, Olive Garden has a more expensive taste. They are limited to the food style of Italian. There is a lunch deal with unlimited soup, breadsticks and salad on discount for business meetings. Also, there is an appetizer of salad and breadsticks with every entree that is ordered. Unlike most appetizers, this is an unlimited supply during the meal. There is an expansive selection of wines that are offered to compliment the
Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. It’s surprising just how far some people are prepared to travel for a free lunch. It’s a good job the groom didn't choose the menu, otherwise we would have had penut-butter sandwiches washed down with beer.
The warming atmosphere is one of a kind. Behind the counter are the caring faces of not just a worker, but a friend. Regular guests are called by name, sharing stories of families and the past week with the welcoming employees. Sitting all around in tables and booths are patrons from every category. Beside the window on a high table to the left is a lawyer, to the right is a mother and her two kids. In a booth in the back is a construction worker still covered slightly in concrete from a road job he had been working on back on 19th Street. All of these, enjoying a delicious meal of their special combination.
It is Christmas Eve at my grandparent’s house. I am sitting around the table in the noisy dining room with my whole family. As the seven different fish dishes finish cooking, my grandfather begins to place each one on the table in front of us. My favorite Christmas Eve dish is the first to come out—linguine with clams. As my grandfather enters the room, my senses are suddenly overwhelmed with the smell of the homemade white sauce and the fresh shellfish. My grandfather slowly sets the bowl of linguine with clams in the center of the table and I can barely stop myself from diving right into it. Linguine with clams and the other fish dishes hold a religious significance for most Italians, but for me, these dishes are significant because of the quality time I spend eating them with my family.
wonderful quick meal right in front of you. They show you hands on how to prepare and cook

As a child, the event that I remember most was an evening at the park with my siblings and dad. Although my dad spent numerous days and nights working, he would always find a way to fit in time to spend with his kids. It was a lovely spring evening in Cathedral City when my siblings and I wanted to go to the nearby Panorama Park. My dad didn’t hesitate and the next thing I remember was packing our new bikes into the trunk of his truck. We quickly rushed over as the sun was setting and as soon as we arrived it was nowhere to be seen but we were determined to play for as long as possible. Before we left, we begged my dad to play one round of hide-and-go-seek in the unlit park and soon enough we were running around like chickens without their heads. Many rounds passed and my dad found each of us every time until he could no longer catch his own breath. As children, most of us don’t want the newest toy or the shiniest jewelry but instead memories like these that will forever stay with us. Not only have events like these brought me joy, but people do as well. About two years ago, I started my first job as a host for a Mexican Restaurant named Pueblo Viejo Grill in Palm Desert. This first job experience made me appreciate people and realized how much joy they bring into my life. Of course, as an employee of a restaurant, there will be those customers that make it their hobby to complain as much as they can just because
At McDonald’s, the surroundings are quite different from those at Jake’s. When dining in, people are seated at small booths. The tables are not big enough for everything so tables my have to be moved together, people may have to sit apart or some food may have to be left in the bag. Sometimes there are greasy floors. Unlike Jake’s, McDonald’s customers are usually in a rush. They come in order their food and sto...

The Osteria Italiana is a higher range Italian restaurant with the reputation of once being Hitler’s favorite, and although the cost is around $150 for two, the food is exquisite and prepared fresh each day and is a great option for a date night(Williams). Another, more wallet friendly option, would be dining in one of the countless Beer Gardens that are scattered throughout Munich(Williams). These Beer Gardens have delicious food for the low cost of $15 a meal(WIlliams). Or try one of the 140+ local food vendors that can be found in the bustling Viktualienmarkt, where prices range from reasonable to a little pricey, and there is a variety of food offered, from more modern foods, to traditional style meals(Williams). Neat little cafes are tucked away between other buildings all over Munich, offering fresh pastries and drinks for reasonable price(Williams). Breakfast, lunch, and dinner for three days in Munich, eating at reasonable prices, will cost roughly $70 or a little more. But what if someone wanted to prepare their own food in their hotel room, how much would that
