    We loved this restaurant. This was a new find for us - one town over from where we live. Being Italian it's hard to find Italian food that I like since I am used to fresh ingredients at home. The foundation sauce in this Italian Restaurant is delicious. The variations of the vodka and spicy sauces are tasty, as well. The personal pizza was big enough for two if you have an app, but we ordered it to try and have some leftovers. We loved the igloo, but honestly the inside of the restaurant was just as cute and festive. Our server, Irene, was super helpful and quick but the food was still spaced enough where we could enjoy it. The garlic knots were huge and tasted great. I am still shocked that I had never gone to this establishment before, but so glad we found it.

    I had the best anniversary dinner at Toto’s last night! We sat in the angel room and it gave me the feeling like I was eating over someone grandmothers home, the ambiance was immaculate. There was a man who started off on the keyboard and eventually sang too and it was so nice. It was the perfect background music, I hate when the music is so loud you can’t even have a conversation. I got the white margarita and my husband got the smoked old fashion. The presentation of the old fashion was so cool! For an appetizer we got the French onion soup and the Brussels sprouts both on the specials list. The Brussels sprouts were the best I’ve ever had! They were brussels sprouts, caramelized onions, balsamic vinegar glaze and walnuts. The French onion soup was also really good, me and my husband shared it. For our entree we got the prime steak for two and it was cooked perfectly. We also had the mashed potatoes for our side. I was so full I couldn’t eat another bite but my husband got the carrot cake and he fought to finish it all. We will absolutely be back soon!
