I drive. by this place all of the time, and yet always convince myself I don't need to eat. But this time, my family decided to go with a purpose. For my husband, he needed another local spot with a good spaghetti and meatball deal. For my son, he needed a good cheese pizza and garlic knots. I just love most Italian food so I was game for whatever and I had heard good things about Landini's.
Inside was quaint, had some good old school Italian decor, and your typical red, white, and green vibe. The tunes were overhead and while we waited for our order, unfortunately my son was serenaded the entire time (and he loved it, by the way).
We brought it all back home and it was still piping hot when I unpacked it all for pictures.
Spaghetti and meatballs - very good price and came with 3 meatballs as opposed to some other places who only gave 1-2 and were more expensive. The sauce was just right, not too sweet, not too acidic, not too chunky. Hubby was definitely happy.
Garlic Knots - we ordered 6 but I'm pretty sure we got 8 in our box (thank you, Landini's!). These were lighter than knots we have had at other places. I described it as a focaccia but rolled into a knot, if that makes any sense. Very tasty and a good price.
14" cheese pizza - soft thick dough and the cheese was nice and gooey. My son is picky and he actually said it wasn't his favorite pizza he has ever had, but it didn't stop him from eating it all. I had a slice and with an adult palate, definitely think it's up there in terms of quality and flavor.
Calzone - When i ordered this, I pictured like a little hand held type calzone because growing up, that's the only type of calzones I was exposed to. This monster was 12" long and stuffed with cheese! It was mind blowing and easily lasted me 4 servings. I would definitely get that again and it's a steal for the price.
Zeppolis - it's not listed on their menu board but we did see people had taken pictures and it was listed on Yelp, so we asked and they said they had it. It was like a giant bag of mini beignet balls doused in powered sugar. I think they literally poured an entire back of it on top. Each bite was so delicious. My husband and son scrambled to eat them and I had to fight to get a few for myself.
We were very happy with our stop and are kicking ourselves for not doing it sooner. But as they say, better late than never! Thanks, Landini's for a fantastic set of meals. We will be back for sure.
