Friday’s Last Spoonful: Field Trip

Gianni’s Italian Bistro: Arbutus, Md.

This charming Italian bistro has a lot going for it. We ordered traditional favorites, such as the Spaghetti and Meatballs and Fettucini Carbonara to sample the quality of their menu items. Both are reasonably priced at $ 9.95. The meatballs are big, succulent, and homemade. They’re topped with a rich red tomato sauce that’s sweet and thick. Meanwhile, the Fettucini Carbonara is light, creamy, and infused with the smoked bacon flavor of pancetta. The servings are huge, so we ended up taking home significant portions of both pasta dishes. And yes, Gianni’s serves wine and beer for any patrons who need something more than soda or iced tea. The Mixed Stew crew is going back to Gianni’s to sample more of their Italian fare. After all, Gianni's previous stint was in Baltimore's Little Italy so he's got the goods for good food.
