Eat like a king, Devito's way!


As much as I love our local "feastery" Prime 112, I have to say that Devito's definitely packs a punch as well. Located where Joia used to be, this Italian chop house serves large robust dishes that make your mouth water. If you don't mind waiting over a couple glasses of pinot noir at the bar, you'll be in for a treat. From the gigantic onion rings, to the lobster mash potato, there's so much to get excited about on this menu. Not only can you get great cuts of meat but there is also a large selection of seafood dishes. The service was good and the ambiance was fun. Flat screen tv's playing The Godfather and dimmed sconces decorated the walls. I had the delicious filet mignon, which for some reason I always end up having no matter what anyone says, I just love what I love. Then there was the cake. And when I say cake I mean tower of chocolate decadence covered with tiny herseys kisses and decorated with gummie bears, this thing was humongous!! The slice was as big as a whole cake! And was so delicious I couldn't stop eatting, needless to say my New Years resolution may be incuding some situps even though I don't believe in working out! And although I never recommend a place unless I visit it twice, I have to tell you, if you like big portions, Italian food and The Godfather, this is definitely where you should go. It seemed very family friendly, not as romantic as the decor implied but maybe it depends on the night. Mangia, mangia..
