Gaetano's a bit of a hidden gem at its somewhat nondescript Forest Park location. But please do not underestimate the level of the cuisine. The chef-owner Gaetano is Sicilian-born and classically trained. The food is innovative and exciting. I often try to order from the specials because Gaetano loves to use the best available seasonal ingredients. One of my favorite things about this restaurant are their Parents' Nights. On a Monday, they offer meals and activities for kids in their back room for $10 per child. And Mom and Dad can enjoy a romantic, leisurely dinner up front knowing that the kids are having a blast in the back stuffing their faces with pizza and pasta and watching movies. Why don't more restaurants do this?
