date night




We decided on a much needed Friday night out and opted to stay close to home due to the dreary weather.  Nothing quite does the trick like the perfect spaghetti with meatballs, so the decision was easy -- Emmy's Spaghetti Shack!  (I think I'd pretty much love any place that calls itself a "spaghetti shack")

First off -- the food is EXCELLENT.  You might be asking "what could be so special about spaghetti?"  WELL the meatballs at Emmy's are just so savory and delicious -- they're piled high with pasta that's been coated in a sauce that provides the perfect balance of spicy and sweet (nicely complimenting the afformentioned meatballs), finished off with fresh shaved parmesan and parsley!

But beyond the food -- I also really love the atmosphere -- from the quirky decor (aprons and other random objects hanging from the ceiling) to the Friday night DJ.  

 

They start you off with really yummy focaccia bread and balsamic dipping oil!





For dinner we shared a ceasar salad and the spaghetti with meatballs (duh) -- plenty (honesty, plenty) of food for two people.  But the best part?  Dinner only cost us $21-- you really can't beat that!
