Another good Italian place is Paradiso on South Broaway. Delicious food served family style. I also like Bentley's in Malta. It's only about 10 minutes from the track on 9s. Great food & Nice atmosphere. Great steamed clams. Anyone who is a Red Sox fan will especially love it. They have all kinds of Red Sox stuff all over the place.

Here are the links to info for both places:

Il Paradiso is owned by the same folks that had Don Peppe's on Leffert Blvd in Queens. They used to have Villa Balsamo out on Rte 50 but that has been shut down for years.

I'm pretty sure that is where we all went on opening weekend before realizing our ragtag crew didn't exactly fit in there (nor did we feel like spending $24 for a house salad).

Villa Balsamo was a Victorian mansion a couple miles past SPAC on the right out Rte 50. As of last year, it was overgrown and appeared to be abandoned.

Yup, that is the place. Has definitely been reopened. Looked like an awesome place, just not what we were looking for at the time.
