For 75 years Bimbo's has been serving the best Italian food in Tacoma. Brooklyn's Brooklyn's offers good service and style. They serve lunch. The food's good and the prices are inexpensive. This is a downtown Tacoma gourmet establishment.
Cellars provides excellent food and an excellent wine list, too.
The Clover Leaf still uses recipes based on Pearl Marzano's delicious pizzas from The Roma of Ponder's Corner in the 50s and 60s. The pizzas are greasy, chewey, and to die for. The recommended favorite is pepperoni, Italian sausage, real bacon, mushrooms, black olives, and extra cheese. Health concious people need not order here. At the Gateway you'll find curry like you've never had it.
