Foodie Friday — Dinner at Dario’s  🍝❄️

Do you have a restaurant that feels authentic the moment you walk in?

I arrived at Dario’s Family Owned & Operated Restaurant a little early —
Alex was driving back in from the city through the snow —
so I grabbed a seat, caught up on some work, and waited.

Alex arrived, said hello to the chef (as he always does),
and we settled in for one of those easy, shared meals.

Our table was small, so everything went right in the middle:
• Eggplant Parm with penne Alfredo
• A side of meatballs (someone nearby was definitely in for a feast 😉)
• A fresh salad
• Alex started with a bowl of soup

Simple. Generous. Meant for sharing.

Dario’s feels like one of those little Italian spots
that hasn’t tried to be anything other than what it is —
family-run, welcoming, and consistent.
And yes… there are plenty of prepared meals to take home,
and wine too.

Alex is always a good sport when I show up early,
camera in hand, already settled in.

If you haven’t been, it’s well worth a visit.

Do you have a local restaurant you keep coming back to?
👇 I’d love to hear.
