The Italian Restaurant in Pineola

From a Review of The Italian Restaurant:
The Italian Restaurant, located in Pineola, opened in 1995 and I’ve been eating there fairly regularly ever since. The reason is simple: the pizza is incredible!

What makes the food so great at the Italian Restaurant is that everything is made fresh daily. The marinara, the meat sauce, the alfredo, the pizza sauce are all made fresh. The owner and head chef, Rama Tahiri explained to me over a huge bowl of ziti covered in sauce, beef and mushrooms, “I make everything fresh because I won’t eat food that isn’t fresh. This is my restaurant and I eat here every day. If I didn’t make everything fresh, I couldn’t eat at my own restaurant.”
