The Gondolier Restaurant, Elizabethtown, KY

Yesterday my wife and I were sitting around wishing the closest non-chain restaurant wasn't in Louisville.  Then, I remembered the Gondolier, the Italian restaurant that opened on Ring Road in Elizabethtown, KY.  This place opened some time back, and we had always talked about checking it out but never actually did.  I was shocked by this place's menu, which is practically a live rendering of the La Cucina Italiana, a deep catalog of great italian dishes, and we're excited by the prospect of sampling more and more of this menu.  I had the Baked Veal Parmesan and Melissa had her litmus test Alfredo shrimp, full of generously-sized shrimp (especially given seafood availability here in Elizabethtown).  After rereading the menu after the meal, we found they offered calamari appetizers, which, along with the stuffed canolli are definitely on my to do list for the next time we visit.
