Have You Been to Thompson Italian? Discovering Alexandria's Cozy Italian Gem
If you're wandering through the charming streets and find yourself at Thompson Italian, you're in for a treat. The moment I stepped into this cozy Italian haven, the romantic lighting and warm welcome set the stage for a memorable dining experience. I started with their unique celery root soup, which was a delightful surprise with its rich cheese base and a zesty hint of lemon peel, finished with a spicy kick from black pepper flakes. For the main course, the rigatoni was simply divine, melting effortlessly with each bite. The pasta dishes here, like the squid ink pasta and the tortellini, are nothing short of spectacular, each bursting with authentic flavors that transport you straight to Italy. The evening wouldn't be complete without indulging in their Olive Oil Cake, a perfect blend of sweetness and texture that left me wanting more. The staff's attention to detail and the unexpected treats like mini soups and a surprise dessert added a special touch to our visit, making Thompson Italian a must-visit for anyone looking for an exceptional Italian meal.
