Mama Mia's

Went to a restaurant named Mama Mia tonight.

The spaghetti marinara was pretty good. I was surprised at how spicy the sauce was, but it was delicious. It was just spicy enough to be interesting rather than uncomfortable.

I wasn't too happy with the amount of oil in the sauce. I understand it is necessary to have some, but the amount in mine seemed excessive. Of course it's silly to expect a chef who has never met me to know exactly how I like my sauce. It was still good.

The atmosphere ended up feeling more like a bar than a typical Italian restaurant. Kind of like the Italian version of a pub.

I was a little disappointed with the garlic bread. It felt more like normal white bread with garlic button. I think I prefer the whole bread piece style "bread stick". Like Fazoli's has.

I love Fazoli's. It is so delicious. It makes me sad that the only one remotely close (off 124) to me shut down. Now the only one I know of in existence is in Ft. Oglethorpe. I frequently convince my family to go there anytime I'm in town.

And that is my 200 words for the day! This counts as Friday even though it's after midnight.
