The 36 Best Restaurants in Des Moines, Iowa | Eater

"While it has changed names and ownership a few times since originally opening in 1952, this cozy neighborhood Italian restaurant has a remarkably loyal following. Lines begin to form, especially on weekends, well before 5 p.m., when owner Simon Goheen opens the doors. All night long you can eat your fill of entrees like cheese-stuffed chicken over a bed of spaghetti topped with both Alfredo and marinara. But diners try to beat the rush for slices of red velvet cake, delivered to each table — on the house — while supplies last." - Karla Walsh
