Quite a few years ago we were in Rye, NY and there was an intense storm which took out much of the power in the area. We had settled into our motel and decided to venture out to see if we could find a restaurant that was open. We found Belluscio's in a nearby neighborhood of mostly homes and discovered a gem that featured fine Italian cuisine since 1933. Today on our way to Connecticut to see Phyllis and Pat we decided to try to find this lovely restaurant again. All we could remember was that it was in Rye, NY. So we wandered around up and down Route 1 and finally found the city of Rye and then mostly by accident found Belluscio's. It opened at 5pm and we were at the door. We sat in the same place and ordered Veal Saltimbocca, a side salad and a dish of spaghetti with marinara sauce. Mama Belluscio makes a fluffy cheese cake for dessert so we tried that and decaffeinated espressos. We waddled out the door having had a terrific meal and fun with neighboring visitors who recommended a place in Portland Maine.
Best of all was our wait person Joy. She is a young grandma in her 40's whose parents now live in Florida and take jaunts to Beloxi, Mississippi for the inexpensive fun. Joy could not believe we were Texans until I put on the y'all accent. Joy was a delight and helped make our evening a success.

Oh, yes! We found a more reasonably priced room in Stamford, home of the famed UConn sports teams. 'Twarn't fancy, but we didn't care! It had a good bed and a good price!
