I've located another "gem in a strip mall." Folks who have read my many hospitality posts and past magazine columns know that I strongly feel that some of the strongest, quality (read: reliable) eateries are found side-by-side with retail shops in busy shopping centers. Consider Taste of Italy Ristorante & Pizzeria (57 Route 46 East, Hackettstown, New Jersey, 908-850-1343, www.tasteofitaly46.com). This is great food courtesy of Alex Espinosa's kitchen, and cordial service from Karen Gomez. Lucille opted for an eggplant parmigiana entree with angel hair pasta ($12.95) - after Karen assured her the eggplant was sliced thin. She was right on the money.
Taste of Italy Ristorante & Pizzeria is open seven days a week, as early as 10:00 a.m. Monday - Saturday.
Great job, Alex and Karen! It was very nice to meet you. Steve
