(tomatostreet.com) – Spokane, Washington

How I heard of this place: While on a business trip to Spokane, I accompanied my husband and had the pleasure of meeting some of his work colleagues. One of them suggested Tomato Street as a great place to dine out if we are looking for something more local and Spokane-y. We took a chance.

Type of cuisine: Americanized Italian cuisine in large quantities, varied profiles, and sure to settle any craving!

Ambiance: Loud and proud, slightly in-your-face,

the family friendly establishment boasts a large footprint

fraught with colorful,

interesting, and eclectic decor at every turn.

Room after room of people, tables/chairs, stuff welcomes patrons with vibrant colors,

loud diners and staff,

rushing in and out with food/beverages.

What I ordered: To start, my husband selected the Brick Oven Fried Bollas ($9.29): meatballs, mozzarella and provolone rolled in pizza dough (think little calzones) with zesty marinara and alfredo sauce.

For his main entree, my husband enjoyed the Penne Pallame ($16.99) off of the House Specialties menu: oven roasted chicken, bacon, green peppers, fresh tomatoes, lemon butter with a garlic and alfredo sauce.

I chose Grandma’s Lasagna ($13.79) off of the Oven Baked Specialties menu, with tomato-mushroom sauce.

Each entree was served with a small house salad and toasted, buttery garlic bread.

On a return visit, Friday, 22 January 2016: A return to Spokane for the weekend, a return to Tomato Street for dinner. While our anticipation was greater than our experience, we still enjoyed our quick, family meal.

For me, a repeat of Grandma’s Lasagna, steamed vegetables for our Little, and Chicken Alfredo for my husband as our main entrées,

which followed our shared appetizer, Stuffed Mushrooms ($9.99): blackened chicken, bacon, oven-dried tomatoes and creamy spinach-ricotta cheese filling.
