Whoever said this is like Olive Garden is not paying attention. There is a daily printed menu of specials including flowers stuffed with mozzarella, Italian sausage made locally and fresh mozzarella pizza. As we walked form th (wonderful) Marriott Courtyard (6 blocks) every erastaurant was empty except Gale's which was packed. Marvelous! more
