Friends were in on a cruise ship for the day so we had them over to The Manse and then whisked them off to "Italy in the World" for dinner:

We hadn't been to IITW since prior to the cooties pandemic so we crossed our fingers hoping they'd survived and thrived.
Good to go on both counts.
They've expanded the joint to offer outdoor dining but we opted for indoor. The acoustics can be a little challenging as everyone hears your conversation (it's a really small room) but c'est la vie... the food is definitely worth it.
We started with two salads (caprese and green) plus an order of bruschetta - all were shared with the entire table. I would've taken pictures but the vultures were ravenous and the apps were gone in a minute.
The mains are all made in house and delicious - I had eggplant parmesan, The Spouse went with osso bucco and The Cruisers had chicken Parmesan and shimp risotto.
There's no wine list, per se, but the owner brings over a few bottles for you to peruse and ask questions about. We had a wonderful red that went beautifully with everybody's meal.
Definitely worth the effort, definitely reasonable relative to quality and definitely make a reservation!
