IL Localino, Inman Park

I went to IL Localino last Saturday for a friend’s birthday dinner and since this is her favorite spot in all Atlanta I was eager to try!  From the outside it looks like a small dark quiet restaurant but when I walked inside, although still dimly lit, the place was raging with character. The walls are covered with pictures, hats hanging all around, which you can wear if you feel so inclined, and oldies are playing and nothing gets better than oldies. If you have a bigger crowd this would be a very good place. I opted for a favorite of mine, Penne alla Vodka, and I was not disappointed. A few got salads that looked pretty good and I would say most people got a pasta dish. I can’t say that the food blew me away or was that creative but sometimes when you go to a place you want to know that what you order is what you’re going to get!
