My apologies everyone, that this has taken me a week to get wrote. As with everyone else life has been crazy. However, I finally got my computer, desk, little corner office set up. Somethings are still in the works, but it is functional.
Last week, Mitch took me to Cinzetti’s-an Italian Buffet. I have never heard of one. I was intrigued. This is not like any other Italian restaurant. Mitch called it “The Golden Corral of Italian Food,” but this was so much better than Golden Corral. It is in Overland Park, KS., just north of 95th and Metcalf, the address is 7201 W 91st.
The inside looks like Italian villa, they have five dining rooms and piazza where chefs cook in 14 different cooking stations, where you can watch them cook. They have around 80 different items to choose from; some include Chicken Marsal Rotini, Penne Con Pollo, Spaghetti Marinara, Mama’s Meatballs, Pink Sauce Gnocchi, Fettuccini Alfredo, Chicken Spiedini, Lasagna Bolognese, Lasagna Vegetali, and of course Pizza.
Cinzetti’s also had lots of salads to choose from, fresh bruschetta (which I loved). The also has a fresh bakery and 16 flavors of ice cream to choose from. This is a family event. The whole family could be happy here. The price was reasonable, Mitch stated it was $7.70 each for us. This doesn’t include drinks. They do have a bar, a list of assorted drinks, wines, and coffee if one chooses.
Mitch and I tried to try everything we could. We were completely stuffed at the end, very fat and sassy that night. The best Alfredo, we thought was the bowtie pasta, the alfredo sauce was rich and creamy, and Mitch liked the fact it had peas in it. I tried the pizza.
They had several different types, but when in Rome, you go for the Pizza Margherita. This was delicious. Thin crust, the right blend of sauce, cheese, tomatoes, mozzarella, basil, etc. My favorite was the fresh bruschetta. The topping was the tomatoes, basil, garlic, olive oil and balsamic, served over a small baguette.
For dessert we tried different things. The cannoli's that is must for me, well, it was more of “leave the cannoli's take the gun.” The best dessert was the made to order crepe.
You can choose the filling you want, and you watch the chef make it. We choose the strawberry banana cream. Yum, that’s all I can say.
It is worth a trip to Overland Park for the experience, we will be back for sure. Until next time, eat somewhere different. You never know when you will find that little diamond of a place. Please leave any comments, good, bad, a favorite quote from "The Godfather." :)
