Dat's Italian!

[88] I've spotted this restaurant a few times while driving down Colorado Avenue but somehow let myself think it was a chain restaurant rather than one unique to our area. I'm SO happy I finally stopped in and found out I was wrong! Owners Dennis and JoAnn Trujillo opened Dat's Italian in 2010, and once you are there all it takes is a little time and you'll see that it is a labor of love by them and their many family members who genuinely do all they can to make you feel welcome and comfortable.  Dennis stopped by my table and introduced himself and Maia made sure I was well taken care of.  I chose the Lasagna, and to my delight I must say it may be one of the best tasting, if not the best I've ever had!  It was just the right portion and wonderfully presented.  Afterwards, Dennis offered me a Cannoli for dessert.  It was absolutely awesome! My experience was outstanding and I feel like part of the family already.  I look forward to another visit very soon.  Thank you Trujillo family and keep up the good work!​
