Touch of Italy

Eggplant Parmesan is my favorite dish at some Italian restaurants. Unfortunately for me not all Italian restaurants pay much attention to this dish. Fortunately for me, Touch of Italy treats eggplant Parmesan as a house specialty. They fry the breaded eggplant slices in beef tallow, they cover the fried eggplant slices with sufficient amounts of delicious tomato sauce and melted Parmesan cheese. Yummy. This comes with a side order of spaghetti, also yummy.

Everyone in my party enjoyed their order. They have an amazing garlic bread appetizer covered with melted cheese. There's a free parking lot out back. It's wheelchair accessible. Kids love eating here. You will, too.

The restaurant is the perfect place to go for good food while on vacation, especially if you need a gluten free meal. The gluten free pasta (corn and rice based) is outstanding. They also offer dairy free sauce in addition to the house marinara that contains cheese. The salmon and grilled shrimp (pictured) were a fantastic change up from the pasta. The salmon is gluten free, but is cooked in their pizza oven so those with celiac cannot have it. The staff is trained on allergens and is very knowledgeable of the importance of being able to answer questions. Sometimes they even have gluten free and dairy free desserts, just ask. I highly recommend this place!

After checking in two hours later than we had hoped due to traffic (7-hour drive), we were able to get a table right away here. Our server, Sebastian, treated us like royalty. Great guy. He and the front desk clerk recommended the chicken parm and we have to agree. Though there is enough in one order to share for two people, my wife and I both got our own to have leftovers.
