SUMMARY AND COMMENTS
The White House only seems to get better. The menu of
northern Italian recipes is kept fresh and timely, and service is spot-on. This is an elegant
restaurant—leave the kids with a sitter.

SETTING AND ATMOSPHERE
A classic Italian family restaurant replete with wall murals
of the motherland, comfortable seating, and the overwhelming aroma of garlic and olive
oil. It's like walking through a time warp.
HOUSE SPECIALTIES
You can't go wrong with any one of more than three dozen hearty
pasta dishes, from a very traditional meat sauce to an outstanding lasagna. The kitchen's
showcase is a slab of fresh Atlantic salmon in a butter-garlic-mustard sauce.
OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS
The Taste of Italy features the colors of Italy's flag with a
combination of chicken penne pesto, shrimp fettuccine Alfredo, and spaghetti with meat-
balls. The house-made tiramisu, if you can manage more food after the large plates, is a
treat.
SUMMARY AND COMMENTS
Family owned and operated for three generations, Carolina's
also features more than 200 beers from around the globe and a rather well-selected wine
list for such a place. Portions tend toward the gigantic, so bring your appetite.
