First Blog- Sinapi's

Upon entrance, your nose is filled by the pleasing smell of fresh garlic knots mixed with a variation of cooking pizzas. You immediately think to yourself, “Finally, some real home cooked Italian food.” As you frolic past the seemingly endless choices of drinks in anticipation for the order you soon won’t forget, you must stop and embrace not only the wonderful smell, but charming atmosphere of the restaurant. It is apparent through the kind waitress who offers you freshly baked garlic knots before you even place your order that there is must more than a restaurant here; there is a strong Italian family doing what they both love and excel at. Sinapi’s restaurant located in Pawling, New York serves as my favorite restaurant destination for good reason.

First, the outstanding staff makes the Sinapi’s experience more special than your typical restaurant experience. The staff is diligent, yet kind and easy to hold an enjoyable conversation with. After you peruse the menu consisting of various pastas, pizzas, salads, meats and seafood it is time to make perhaps the hardest culinary decision until your next outing to Sinapi’s: What do I order? The several pizzas layered with different toppings catch your eye, naturally. My personal favorite pizza, which I routinely order is layered with freshly made pasta. This combination of sauce and texture lead your taste buds and hungry stomach to a pleasing, yet not stuffed status. After warming up on a slice of pizza, I next made my choice to order the penne olive vodka pasta dish. Although it tore me apart deciding which route to take, I knew that no matter what I ordered I would be pleased. Sure enough, the pasta came out with just enough steam to allow immediate consumption. After eating everything except the bowl the pasta was served in, I was left completely satisfied. Each time I am fortunate enough to eat at Sinapi’s I always thoroughly enjoy myself, so I would strongly urge those of you who have no tried this fine Italian cuisine to enjoy the Sinapi’s experience!
