The name itself conjures up picturesque images of crooning men in striped shirts gently steering a gondola through the dreamlike waterways of Venice. But the nods to Italy don’t just stop there— Gondolier Italian Restaurant & Pizza teleports tastebuds to the boot-shaped country (or the nearest Italian grandmother’s kitchen) with a sprawling lineup of authentic dishes that range from homemade baked ziti to tortellini alfredo. And true to its name, Gondolier has its fair share of pizzas, which can arrive topped with anything from fresh-from-the-garden veggies to ricotta and sliced eggplant.
