WE CALL THE SHOTS AT LILLY'S







After a few bottles of wine and some starters on the porch at home, we decided to make a run for our favorite little Italian place in all of South Florida - Lilly's. We've been going for years and it's just one of those cozy little spots that'll basically make whatever you ask for (thus the title). And last night was no different. Can't find what you're looking for on the menu? Sal will whip up whatever you want.

So last night, we did half and half. Mom and I found what we were looking for and Dad and Meena placed the custom orders.

Meena had:
- penne with shrimp and pink sauce (vodka sauce, basically)

Mom had:
- cheese tortellini with that delicious pink sauce

Dad had:
- penne with italian sausage and roasted red peppers in pink sauce

And Alec deviated from the pink sauce and had:
- yellow tail snapper puttanesca with angel hair pasta

As always, the food was outstanding. We also had a couple bottles of wonderful wine to complement all the amazing homemade pastas. Without a doubt, the best meal we've had thus far. Probably the best we'll have all week. The people, the food, the wine - all top notch at Lilly's.

And once we got home, we had an ice cream cake for mom's birthday! They hadn't eaten sweets in a month, so they were especially excited to indulge. What a spectacular end to Mom and Dad's first night in town!
