✨ Gus’s World Famous Fried Chicken ✨
Tried for the first time and went with the 2-piece dark plate (my hubby got the 3-piece 😋) juicy, crispy, and that perfect spicy kick without being too hot. Started with ranch + sweet tea on the side 🍗🥤 Definitely a good experience!

✨ Vecchia Italian Restaurant in Hoover, Alabama was such a wholesome experience. From their certified Neapolitan-style Margherita pizza to the most dreamy tiramisu I’ve ever tasted, every dish felt so fresh and made with care. 🍕☕🍰

I also loved their lasagna and scratch-made carrot cake. Plus, their take-and-bake menu is such a smart idea! Perfect for bringing home to your family or to a gathering (don’t skip the Italian sausage 👌).

And did you know they even host cooking classes? Definitely on my list for next time. Whether it’s a date night, friends’ night out, or a family dinner, is the spot to go to! 🇮🇹❤️

✨ Here is everything we ordered (hosted):

🇮🇹 lasagne
🇮🇹 bruschetta
🇮🇹caprese salad
🇮🇹meatballs with marinara
🇮🇹 margherita pizza (certified authentic)
🇮🇹 cannoli (pistachio + chocolate)
🇮🇹 tiramisu
🇮🇹 carrot cake

🍝GRAB AND GO’S (love this feature!)
🇮🇹homemade Italian sausage
🇮🇹pasta alfredo
🇮🇹pasta marinara
🇮🇹 Italian dressing

To be honest I loved everything but my favorite would be their pizzas, lasagne, tiramisu and carrot cake.

When my husband and I got home we baked their grab and go pasta Alfredo and fried up their homemade Italian sausage. It was delicious and such a clever way to be able to bring a fresh and home made Italian dinner home.

I loveeee Vecchia! ❤️

So whether you’re here for date night, family dinner, or just good vibes with friends, Vecchia is where it’s at! 🔥
