Twisted Italian Ristorante-Peoria

Congrats to the Grand opening of Twisted Italian in Peoria-our lastest permitted restaurant. I dined there last night and enjoyed a delightful chicken Piccata and grilled vegetable medley. Others in my party had the Penne Fra Diavolo-also luscious and a fresh Caesar salad. The cozy bistro was full and lively. The food is great and we know that Mike and Franco will do great at this new Location.
