Andiamo


Tuscan through and through. Simple, delicious Italian cooking, country-style, is available at Andiamo in Addison. Here the cooking relies on natural flavors and fresh ingredients. Olive oil, herbs, tomatoes, mushrooms, and only the best cuts of meat, chicken and fish. You'll have a mouth-full of flavors and a plate-full of food at Andiamo. In fact, hearty portions may be an understatement. This cozy Italian restaurant literally bustles during lunch. You'll want to make sure you call ahead for a reservation. The atmosphere lends itself to fun and conviviality. You might walk in with a frown, but you'll leave with a smile. Andiamo is a comfortable, casual place. The service is friendly and attentive. The food-ah, now here's where the smiles begin. A bruschetta sampler is a must ($4..95 ). Also, be sure to ask for the baked clams ($6.95), blended with herbs, pecorino cheese and garlic butter. They are wonderful. Minestrone ($3.50) is rich and flavorful. Salads are fresh and light. By all means sample from the abundant antipasti array-portabello; calamari; fagioli-- but save room for more! The main dish side of Andiamo's menu has something for everyone. I am particularly impressed with the light and healthy selections. Good pastas (around $7.95), grilled chicken ($8.95) or simple poached or grilled salmon ($9.95). Those same items are also served with the richer sauces, as you would expect; Alfredo, Bolognese, creamy tomato and garlic-Linguine, Tortellini, Fettuccini-um-um-um. In the mood for something substantial? Try Vitello Andiamo ($11.95), oven-baked veal with mozzarella, peppers, onions and mushrooms. Desserts are the perfect compliment to top-off your Tuscan experience. Sicilian Spumone-Tiramisu-Cannoli-or a rich, chocolate creation, Zucchoto. I've had several business lunches here. Depending on your time-frame, you can get in and out under an hour, or linger with wine, conversation and espresso. It all depends on the nature of the deal.
