Ever try Mama de Salvo's (sp?) on Stroop in Kettering?

Have not tried Mama deSalvo's. Have you? Any better than what I described?

Much better. Might want to look into price range but the pasta is freshly prepared (so there is a wait to the meal), but they also serve salad or soups before meal and their tiramisu is wonderful! I think it's a bit of a family business and they seem to take pride in their food. Great atmosphere as well. But the fact that the pasta is freshly made...it's delicious!

Carraba's Italian Grill in Centerville is good, I can take you there on my comp :o)

We'd get 1/3 off for three of us, 1/4 of with four.

It's still cash off though.

Expect to spend, if you did dinner + dessert, about 20 bucks a person.

Okay, well, maybe less than that, depending on what you get...I tend to get the expensive dish but, well, it's half off for me! ;o)

*grins*

I have heard good things about Carraba's, tho i've not been there. Obviously they are under the same ownership umbrella as Outback if you can use your comp there. Likely to be same quality if similar prices as you say. Should be tasty.
