The Best Italian Food in Howell
without question or just about anywhere else in these parts! And by these parts I mean Freehold, Manalapan, Marlboro, etc.
We go to
Christie's infrequently but love it every time. In fact, my one complaint about the place is how you have to know which day they're going to have the Chocolate Mousse Cake for dessert. It's a catch as catch-can and can be a very frustrating game of hide-and-seek.
Anyway, we went there the other day in the middle of the week when it was only moderately busy (maybe 4 to 5 tables of couples tops) so we got the royal treatment from Rosario.
Hadn't met him before but he is a treat himself and the delightful anecdotes about the old country were just enough to be interesting but not so much that it became awkward.
Food as usual was excellent but with Rosario making the rounds to see, 'anda, how you are doing? Isa there anything I can geta for you" with such cheery sincerity.
Well,
Christie's just got itself another good reason for everyone to tell everyone else to go! (Except of course when we're heading over there.
)
Oh, BTW, a reminder to the parents that are picking up their little dancers at the studio there, be considerate and DON'T PARK - even for a minute or two - with your car facing into
Christies so that your headlights are literally blinding patrons whose chairs face the windows. A little courtesy that could keep
someone from getting into a shouting match that could end up in an arrest. I 've seen some angry confrontations. Let's all try to think and be considerate.
