text: It is hard to review this restaurant without shedding a tear I first visited Battistas around It was fantastic experience Deserved six stars That was before it became a tourist attraction In the early days only the locals knew and supported Bassistas Battista himself was there as well as some of his family An entertainer would come by and tell very naughty and also very funny jokes with an Italian flair Unlimited wine was also served for one price per person The last time I visited was back around I was with a very savvy business woman and we ended up in one of the back unused rooms and spoke to several of the original or close to original employees While Battistas remains an over good place for many unless you visited them before they expanded decades ago you will never know what you are missing It was not just a good meal it was an experience
