If you are ever in Johnson City, TN you should try to visit a restaurant called Crazy Tomato. This is a wonderful little Italian restaurant that serves pizza, pasta, salads, subs and so much more. The restaurant can be found at:
203 Princeton Rd
Johnson City, TN 37601
(423) 283-0211
It is just a little place where you can order everything form Pizza to Pasta to Subs. The owner of this little place is Leo Dian. I had the opportunity to enjoy the Monicotti Florentine. It was fabulous. The portions were superb but more important it was the best monicotti since ... well since I made it myself. It had the right amount of ricotta cheese flavored with spinach, garlic and mushrooms. It was served on a piping hot plate with just the right amount of sauce on the plate and then mozzarella cheese melted, browned slightly to make it taste even better, on top. Of all the places I would have thought I would find Great Italian food ... Johnson City, TN would have been one of the last. So if you are ever in the neighborhood stop by and enjoy a great meal with Leo at a great price. Please make sure you tell Leo that Mark said Ciao!
Ciao,
Mark

hope all is well with you and yours - melanie
Melanie ... for the moment the recipe is being held very close to my chest. However I would like it if you would read it over before I submit it? I will (assuming my laptop does not get kicked out of my house this evening) e-mail it to you tonight.
Thank you for visiting.
Ciao, Mark
hey again - you are a funny, funny man. I just read your post on my corn dog entry. I KNOW you do not feed your kids corn dogs. But nope, i'm not feeling guilty! I throw in some fruit with that meal and we're good to go! mel
Corn Dogs for Dinner? My boy Dominic would LOVE it ... at least with a little Ketsup!
Hey Mark! What a great write up on The Tomato!! I'm sure Leo would be proud! Glad I was the one to introduce you to such a cool little place... now please, enlighten me with one of your fantastic and authentic italian recipes....
