Papa Gino’s is a New England chain of pizzerias specializing in American-style pizza along with pasta, subs, salads, and a variety of appetizers. I’m your typical pizza lover… I could eat it daily if my wife would let me. Of all the pizza I’ve experienced Papa Gino’s is definitely in my top 5. Prices are a little high but they are always having specials deals. AAA members also get special treatment.

There are several Papa Gino’s located just off I-95 exits in Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut. They also have plans to expand beyond New England… New York, Virginia and Florida. Give them a try!

Jasper’s Porch Lakeside Restaurant is a very charming little place. If you sit on the porch, not only can you enjoy some great food, you can look out on the lake and watch the turtles and gators swimming in the water below. Very fascinating for kids! They have wonderful service and tasty food. Don’t forget to try the fried pickles!

Solo Bella is a very good Italian restaurant. I found this restaurant in my travels. The food is excellent and the service is great. It’s definitely worth giving it a try. I recommend it!

Wow!!! What a great place… we found The Bistro by accident as we headed to the outerbanks.  We found it even though it is off the beaten path just a bit.

Talk about southern hosptality! The waitress we had was very friendly. We felt like we were honored guests in someones home, especially when the owner/ chef came to our table and spent some time with us.  My family loved the pineapple curry sea bass and the sausages and glazed grapes.
