The craving strikes and there is no possible reaction other than total submission. <br />That's when I hop in the car and go straight to Domenico's on Washington Blvd. - famous for pizza but man, those meatball sandwiches ALWAYS hit the spot! Only one size offered, but it's big enough for two people. Yummy!Nosh Gnostichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09903701073242931822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319445054584013211.post-52227998573147088472010-12-18T20:21:42.296-05:002010-12-18T20:21:42.296-05:00You nailed it, Two Guys.

Good place, better than the fast food in the area, but could be a lot better.<br /><br />And the Roma market next door is a treasure.JustinMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01976061296214532098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319445054584013211.post-49326354749626653982010-12-18T17:24:04.352-05:002010-12-18T17:24:04.352-05:00The Two Guys took a trip up Lake and braved the ho...The Two Guys took a trip up Lake and braved the holiday traffic to try Pietro's, based upon this review.<br /><br />We are glad we did. We split a large meatball sub and a small antipasti salad. The sub was exactly as you describe - excellent Italian bread, too few meatballs, and too little cheese. We both felt the sauce was the right amount.<br /><br />Sadly, the meatballs could not be housemade. They had that odd springy texture that is the telltale sign of factory-made. And that's sad, because we really wanted to like this place.<br /><br />OK, we like it, but we wanted to find a meatball sub destination type restaurant. This is not it.<br /><br />Will we go back? Sure. It's better than most choices on Lake north of Colorado. As we are fond of saying, "Good, but not great."<br /><br />The really good news is that when we were done, we stopped in next door at the great Italian market and picked us up some imported pappardelle and Italian tomatoes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319445054584013211.post-10545266700973589312010-12-18T15:29:04.011-05:002010-12-18T15:29:04.011-05:00I've never had a craving for a meatball sub.
