Oki Living: Itali-yum

I've always loved the Italian food at the food court in Mitsua (a local Japanese grocery store back in the OC). Here I'm happy to find there's lots of places with the same deliciousness. Yes, there is no Olive Garden here, but we'll be just fine. Here's a unique place we tried back in early September and have yet to revisit... Marino's serves Italian food that is certainly for cheese lovers such as myself.

They feature yummy cheese fondue...
a variety of wood fired pizzas......and best of all, their parmigiana pasta is prepared in a huge wheel of cheese! Yes, they come table-side and toss the hot pasta in a half slab of a giant cheese wheel, coating it with some melted cheese goodness...then they mix in other ingredients like mushroom, bacon, whatever you choose...
Also it's common that restaurants have dinner sets that include an unlimited beverage bar and some kind of dessert bar. We got to choose 3 desserts each (there's even choices of ice cream). Good deal!Meanwhile Leyna enjoyed her nap, allowing us to enjoy our meal =D
