a diner from Baileys Cross Roads
My wife and I had the experience of trying out Padrino's as we were looking for a place to eat. What a disappointment. The food was cold on the inside and hot on the outside and we found out later on that they heat and serve frozen food that was prepared by a chef that comes every two weeks. It also turns out that they are new in this location where the owner, Sami Khan, had to close the old place due to lack of business. (I wonder why.) I would give them 2 more years of maturity in this location before trying their food again. I personally don't think they will last that long here either.

My wife and I have been dining at the Alpine for years and we have never been disappointed with our dining experience. The wait staff is always attentive and pleasant and the food is superb. Recommended food: grilled shrimp with calamari, clams casi ...

This may be the finest Italian restaurant not located in Italy.
