For our Anniversary and to celebrate becoming debt free (except for a 15 year mortgage) ahead of schedule, we went to Crapittos, a wonderful Italian restaurant in the Highland Villiage area of town. It was first class all the way.
We splurged on a bottle of good wine, an appetizer, the main event and, of course, dessert. The appetizer was a tomato with some cheese, spices, vinegar & oil etc - nothing too grandiose except it must be hard to find tomatos that were that good. The bread was very good with some olive paste that we cleaned up on.
My wife ordered the 16oz Crapittos Signature Veal Chop. Perfectly cooked it had this Roquefort butter sauce on it that I kept wanting to steal from her plate. She also has asparagus and mashed potatos, both of which I had as well along with my 10oz Griilled Angus Filet. It was cooked perfect. Wow - great stuff.
For desert I had the Italian Creme cake -cannot be described except delicious. My wife had an Esspresso Chocolate Truffle topped with Vanilla Bean Ice Cream. Frank Crapitto himself dropped by and asked us how we were doing. He kinda looks like Santa except not as fat. He said the truffle was the best dessert they had. The ambiance was good - not a noisy place, nor a stilted uppity atmosphere. Wait staff were friendly.
The only downside we can imagine to this place is the expense. It was little over $200 after tip for the two of us - (including the $100 of wine we drank) and after they gave us the desserts free as an Anniversary gift. But this is someplace special that I would definitely recommend to anyone (and I'm still debt free)!
