‘’It was fun to sit outside at the Marina and the nearby restaurant had live music that we were close enough to enjoy,’’ said Amy O. of Glencoe, Illinois. Adding that, ‘’We stuck with the basics and everyone was happy. We ordered a few pizzas for the kids and the adults jumped right in with pasta dishes. All the pasta dishes were good but the winning dish was my husbands Shrimp Diablo.’’
Presto Italian Ristorante has been serving Italian specialties in a modern bistro atmosphere since 2011. ‘’I recommend the Penne with a white wine sauce accompanied by a bottle of Mexican Baja California Wine from the Valley of Guadalupe near Ensenada,’’ said Viridiana Chairez of Mexico City, Mexico.
