I avoid most restaurants/cafes/delis because I am a good cook.
But once in a while, I stumble on a gold mine.
That is my experience with AIOLI-the gourmet deli on <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:Street w:st="on"><st1:address w:st="on">Front St.</st1:address></st1:Street> in <st1:place w:st="on">Forestville</st1:place>. I find their fare amazing! Not only are the ingredients to be completely trusted, but the preparation and the flavor they bring to their recipes are truly remarkable. I never miss a Wednesday because this is the day when they serve the absolutely, hands down, best crab cakes, I have ever tasted!! AMAZING! I brought a friend yesterday and she also was incredulous,as she had eaten crabcakes in many many seafood resturants but had never come close to what we ate at AIOLI ! Their pastries, brownies, chessecake, apple turnovers, anything that they decide to bake are also extraordinary! I am hooked and now I don’t want to take my business to other cafes and will drive out of my way because I keep thinking of the food back at the AIOLI. I might have to move to <st1:place w:st="on">Forestville</st1:place> just to be closer! I often take home a few sides or some soup. And also, I find the service friendly and the atmosphere is sweet, with al fresco and lots of take home. :heart:
