Dunque buono!

Dunque buono!

Yes, you are correct...the saga continues! Last night we took Monday's Menu to the Buckhead Italian Market and Bakery. This authentic Italian trattoria resides in the middle of Buckhead and provides a charming atmosphere that makes you feel like your right in the heart of Italy. Mama Henriette and her son, Chef Marcello have created such a warm and inviting atmosphere that you feel at home as soon as you arrive. These two are there to immediately greet you with a gracious smile because they are truly happy that you walked through their door! And if your lucky, like we were, you'll receive a sweet hug from mama, just because:)

The Italian Market provides an array of tasty options such as Chicken Milanese, Penne Chicken Mariana and Katie's favorite, Lemon Chicken Lasagna. Katie described it as " so good I don't want it to end" as she scrapped the fork along side the dish, haha. We all basically wanted to lick our plates clean but, being that we were in public, we controlled our urge to do so!

After stuffing our faces until our tummies were way past full, we decided that this dining experience would not be complete without dessert. Who knew that everyone has and extra compartment in their stomaches just fort times like this, haha. Now, If you think the dinner selection is huge wait till you try to decide on something sweet. They offer cannolis, Italian creme cake, baklavah, magic club and so much more. I promise it will be one of the hardest decisions of your life. Now, I'm sure most of you are wondering what a magic club (or cube for Katie and Megan) is and I honestly wish I could explain it to you. All I can say is it's a little taste of Heaven in you mouth...you must try one!

The five of us, with our newest addition Shannon, had such a wonderful time filled with amazing food, lots of giggles and delightful conversation. I mean who knew that talking about Jason Mraz and Michael W. Smith would bring so much joy to one group of ladies, haha!

This dining experience was a success and we all hope to return soon! Mama wouldn't have it any other way:)

Andare esso mangia al Buckhead l'oggi di Mercato e Panetteria italiano!
