Sorry Ottavio's

Every time someone in our office has a birthday, we celebrate by going out to lunch. This coming Monday is going to be Dee's birthday(yes, along with being my friend and future cousin-in-law, she also works with me). I have been seeing amazing reviews about this new place called Gloria's Little Italy. Just reading these reviews makes my mouth water. Provo city is really lacking in the Italian food department and Ottavio's used to be my favorite, but I don't know what has happened lately, they are just not cutting it for me anymore. So Dee decides we should try this new place out and since we have 8 women in our office.... let's just say everyone has their opinion on what good food is. We get there and the first thing you see are the desserts that just by looking at them, adds 5 pounds to your gluteus. We get sat and I order the lunch special which comes with pasta, salad, a drink and bread. The salad was the first to come out, it came with a Caesar dressing which was very very tasty. Then came the pasta, I order the Salsa Fresca something or other. It was like a creamy tomato sauce and Penne noodles. Again very delicious. I am a carb addict and a connaisseur of anything starch. This bread was probably the 2nd best bread I have ever had in my 22 years of living(I have to give the #1 spot to Ottavio's). The waitress( which usually I HATE dealing with "wanna be your friend to get a good tip" waitresses and waiters) was really cute, funny and very sweet. Which made the whole experience that much more enjoyable. Now onto dessert, I almost didn't order dessert, but of course we all know how easily it is to sway me when it comes to food. I order a chocolate covered cannoli. Oh my gosh! Usually when I eat something that I love, it's gone in 2.5 seconds. This cannoli is aWHOLE other story. I only let myself take a bite every 10 minutes so that I can make it last all day. It is truly heaven on earth. I still cannot get over how awesome the food was. I can't wait to take Tyler there. Tyler is a food snob, me on the other hand could anything without a face. So more often than not, Tyler ends up expecting too much and leaves with a hole in his pocket and a low opinion of my taste buds . I'm spilling my guts here so when I tell explain the food to him, I will seem more cool and Non Shalant about the whole thing. To make things better, Gloria and her husband(Im sure he has a name, I just don't know it) are from Italy, I read somewhere that they moved here to start their own business. Thank you for choosing P-town. I love this place, loved the people and the prices(my whole meal was only 10 bucks). Gloria has truly raised the bar.
