Bar Remo is one of those rare Italian places where you don't have to opt out for a pizza or a pasta as the safe choice, because let's face it, pizza is like sex, even when it's bad it's still pretty good.

As someone who is staying away from those evily delicious carbs I still got a great selection of dishes to order from.
Even though there are several outlets of this restaurant, the feel is of an authentic Italian family place; crowded, happy, friendly, loud, and you can hear everyone's TMI conversations. Probably not the best for a quiet romantic dinner for two, but perfect if you are thinking about having a bottle of whine and join the ruckus.

For my "no evil carbs" dish I have ordered the Cacciucco Alla Livornese, or Fish Stew for those of us who can't pretend they understand Italian. The small version of this dish was actually quite big and full of perfectly cooked sea food and fish. The tomato sauce had just the right amount of garlic and chilly to add some kick to it, without overpowering the delicate proteins.
The husband ordered the Hawaii Pizza, which was so big it couldn't fit the plate (that was also big!). He loves the Bar Remo pizzas, claiming that they are the closest ones he tasted to the ones he had when traveling to Italy. Two other guests had different pastas that were very good, any special request for preperation was met with a smile and the occasional laugh; "Madam, your pesto chicken pasta, without the pesto!"

Highly recommended for an easy going hearty Italian meal that won't brake your wallet.
