The wedding was sweet- and outside. There was cake and cheese cake for dessert at the reception. We ate, then headed out for dinner. Well Commerce is a good hour and a half from Dallas- so we decided to find somewhere in town to eat before heading back to Dallas.
We asked a friend at the wedding (who went to college in Commerce) where we should eat. She said "The Italian Restaurant across from the college." so we trusted that and went. pulling up, Julie immediately said "we should agree to be ready to leave if we need to." we all agreed.
We walked in and found ourselves coughing up smoke, the front door walks straight into a bar- the only place anyone was currently sitting. We asked for the non-smoking section. They sat us in the first booth next to the bar. We asked to move.
Here we are sitting down and excited to eat at "the Italian Restaurant" - did I mention that is all it actually said on the sign outside??
So- we get menus and order. They bring rolls.
No wait- they bring whole loaves of bread that they call rolls.
Julia ordered a salad and chicken piccatta- said it sounded safe.
Julie ordered the Italian Sampler.
I ordered a calzone- pizza dough stuffed with cheese, marinara sauce, onions, sausage, and pepperoni.
The food came out... Julie didn't know what was what in her Sampler due to the fact that it was a dish swimming in red sauce and grease, but if you dug around, you'd find the food down there somewhere. Although she never did find the lasagna.
As the waiter dropped off the food he said, " I'll be right back with your salad." Julia responded, "that's okay- I don't need it now that the food is here." He looked at her very confused and said "Oh- you wanted that first.?.?"
yes- it was quite the place. we survived- no one got sick.
But we did get stuck on the duct tape holding our bench seats together.
We checked- every booth was duct taped together.
Yes- that was the nicest restaurant in Commerce. we have experienced it. we are high-rollers. I don't suggest that you go.
