At Sandrini's in Bakersfield eating Eggplant Napoleon. Sort of a hole in the wall Italian restaurant downtown on Eye Street. The kind of place you walk by and have no idea what's inside unless you walk down the stairs to check it out. It's always better to support small business over slick and generic chain restaurants.
The bruschetta trio was unique with a traditional bruschetta and two different types of tapenade. An in-house made sun dried tomato vinaigrette was served over greens and topped with Gorgonzola! Chianti was a mild enough red for all at the table to enjoy. It's a little loud for visiting (pool table in the bar!), but maybe that's best when dining with in-laws...ha ha
Now for the entrees: the kids' linguini and meatballs was a big enough portion for a lumberjack! My eggplant Napoleon was a tower of fried eggplant plastered together with mozzarella and a marinara with a bit of zip. I was so STUFFED I actually could not finish my plate! I surrender!!!!
WATERLOO! I feel like I win when I looooooose! Couldn't escape if I wanted to....
