It was a beautiful fall day in evansville,so my wife and I chose to eat outside on a patio somewhere. The restaurant that told us that they were open, wasn't. I was kinda bummed and my mood began to drop like a lead ballon, but my wife perks up and says "Let's go to Turoni's". Hummmm, that was not my idea and right now I'll decide where I am going to eat...So I decide I'm driving to Turoni's, and once again just glum enough about the patio debacle to refuse to use my turning signals. Heck, everyone around me should feel just as annoyed as I was. We walked inside Turoni's to the bar area. The atmosphere, as you walk in, is immediately chill and relaxing. Okay, now I'm not feeling as upset. We sit by the window to feel and participate in the sunshine. We are greeted with a friendly smile and given our menus. Not knowing what to drink, our sommelier Haley suggested a Honey blond ale. I was thankful for the help because I wanted to look like a local beer snob ( I usually drink Coors light, sorry,not sorry). Let me tell you, it was refreshing, not too hoppy, with a light, bright flavor. And it also gave me that awesome sense of community by being brewed on site. Did I sound like a beer snob? My wife had her usual Bacardi and coke, and then another. And another. She had a hard week.Cheesy bread was ordered as an appetizer and a large House Special. Leftovers are always good. The bread came out warm, crispy and gooey all at the same time. The pizza was steaming and the aroma of Italian spices filled the air as it hit the table directly as we finished our bread. Perfect timing. Damn it looked good. And guess what? It freak'n was. Fresh vegetables, lean meats and medium brown crust that was soft yet able to emit a relatively loud and pleasing crunch. But you know what was the best part of the meal? Our waitstaff, Haley. Score? 11 out of 10. Pleasant and professional. If there were a courier and press readers choice award for restaurant servers 2022, there would be a plaque on their wall with Haley's name on it. The prize could hang right next to the old time picture of a strange looking couple staring at me with disappointing eyes as I drink my alcohol. Thank you Haley. Everyone! Go! Enjoy! Eat local!!!!!!! Say hi to Haley! Thank you other restaurant that lied to us. You made our day!
