There's Italian food and regular food. Growing up in an Italian family, I quickly learned the difference. Homemade bread is the perfect accompaniment to decadent pasta, and for dessert? Something equally filling. There was always lots of food, and a lot of encouragement to eat more.
My grandparents owned an Italian restaurant in Murray through the 50's and 60's. Rafael's Italian Restaurant specialized in classic homemade Italian food and big-hearted hospitality. Popular menu items included linguine drenched in rich, garlicky clam sauce and tender gnocchi with Bolognese.
