Terrific Takeout: Italianissimo!
Saying Italianissimo has great takeout is like saying Wall Street has great bankers, Madison Avenue has great shopping, and The Metropolitan Museum of Art has great paintings. Italianissmo has OUTSTANDING takeout. For those of you that read Whom You Know closely, you know Peachy Deegan was in love with the chicken parm at Boston College, which had amazing food in general and in discussion with those that went to other schools, we've realized how lucky we were. Every now and then Peachy gets an incredible chicken parm urge and Italianissimo makes the best chicken parmesean we've seen in a long time. They don't even have it on the menu but they made it just for Peachy! We love restaurants that behave like restaurants, and they totally exceeded our expectations.
The Insalata Mista was fresh with a zesty vinaigrette on the side, exactly as we asked for it. Such high quality greens are not found everywhere.
Julio Alvarez, along with his cousin the chef, both hail from Naples. We can't wait to tell you more about Italianissimo soon! The perfect finish was the Tiramisu:
