In our house, comfort food is Italian. I grew up blessed with a Scandinavian mom who learned to cook Italian early on, and my first cooking efforts were Italian. My grandmother was the co-owner of an Italian restaurant in Daytona Beach, Fla., that is a family favorite to this day.
Garlic courses through my veins.
So arriving at BiBa’s Italian Restaurant in Hixson brought all of those great memories flooding back. It’s cool and dark (but not too dark), and the welcoming smell of garlic and herbs embraces you as you walk in the doors.
This is a good thing.
