Wouldn't you agree that it's hard to find nice Italian food at an affordable price?

But if you look hard enough, you may bump into one that can tantalize all your senses to Italy and at a real economy price. My girlfriend and I bumped into one last Saturday.

All flights to Parramatta's "Nonna Maria's Place"

Nonna means, "Grandmother" and a lot of my Italian folks have commented about how good their grandmother's cooking are. So "Nonna Maria's Place" must be good, right? Let's take look at their menu.

The menu was quite simple: two types of pasta with four choices of sauce and some "OOooo, I wonder how that tastes" dishes including one (i.e. Cielo Terra Mare) that has its own version of chicken schnitzel (Must try).

We decided on two: Penne All'Arrabbiata (Penna pasta with Napoli sauce and chilli) and Cielo Terra Mare (Italian sausage, chicken schnitzel and garlic prawns).

Penne All'Arrabbiata: This hearty dish was cooked to al'dente. Tick. It had "value" written all over the plate. "Just 10 dollars", my wallet said.



Cielo Terra Mare: I just knew the chicken schnitzel was good. The schnitzel wasn't all batter. The tenderness of the chicken and tangy taste and aroma just made me want the schnitzel to last. I normally eat quickly so this was definitely a sign that it was good.



And all this came down to only $28 and we were treated to free bread and "Lemonade made the Italian way" too.



So, if you are after Italian and value, make sure you pop by at Nonna Maria's Place. Don't expect anything fancy. It's different and is worth a try. Be sure to try their chicken schnitzel. And make sure you look out for the chef's specials. My girlfriend and I didn't and we missed out on their Gnocchi specialty. Will be coming back.
