First stop: Bottega Grill.
How great is it when a restaurant has delicious food, but is also so close to home that it can be an any-day-of-the-week outing? I’m sure I speak for everyone when I say, it’s awesome! I originally heard about this place because I once worked for Macaroni Grill (it was a long time ago people!) and when I visited there, my former co-workers informed me that the amazingly talented and highly respected GM of the ‘Grill’ had gone and opened up her own restaurant; at the same time, I learned that my favorite head chef had gone with her, which meant I had to try it.
Situated next to a CVS and playschool, you may not think so highly of Bottega Grill. However, that’s what gives it that undiscovered feeling. Once those doors open, though, all your doubts will escape. Friendly servers, a dark-wooded setting, and that comforting sound of pans and glasses clinking together in the background make for a great restaurant. On my first lunch visit, I tried their Pasta Torino, and was immediately sold. The perfectly combined sautéed shrimp, garlic cream sauce, and parmesan cheese were enough to make me a regular. Of course, the calamari before and mile high chocolate cake after didn’t hurt either. I recommend this restaurant for casual lunch or dinner out with friends or for a family outing. Trust me, Bottega won’t let you down.

I would have to agree with you on Bottega Grill. I actually went there for Valentine's Day because they had a couple's special and the food was AMAZING!!! I had the churassco with potatoes and veggies. It was one of the best churassco's I've ever had. I give that place 5-stars.
Diana, I'm dying to try their churassco. By the way, wasn't that special awesome?!? From what I understood, it was for the entire February and it gave a choice of one appetizer, two entrees, one dessert, and one bottle of wine, all for $50.00! That's a great deal, I hope to take advantage of it next year :)
