RIP mediocre Italian food.

Dave's Italian Kitchen closed..

Just announced.

Is that the one that was down in the basement with all the wine bottles on the wall?
That was the busiest average Italian restaurant I ever ate at.

They did make a good baked spaghetti that you don't see many places

Their website (which, incidentally, is promoting Christmas Eve) trumpets 40 years in business. I can only hope this means 'retirement' and not 'put out of business by UberEats'.

I had many a fine plate of 'the cheapest thing on the menu' there.

I had baked something-or-other there. Wish I could remember what.

I can remember eating there in the autumn of '74, and Dave's had been open for some time at that point. Lots of memories.

I'll admit the food wasn't anything spectacular but it was priced accordingly. Nothing more ridiculous than an Italian restaurant charging $18 for a plate of pasta. It was always a fun atmosphere. Rumor is issues with liquor license that Dave didn't want to deal with anymore.

Nasty double whammy coming on the heels of Dixie Kitchen closing.

This hit my family hard. It was pretty much a mandatory stop on our visits. Simple, reliable, affordable.
