While going out for the day with my cousins and aunt, one of my cousins decided he was hungry and wanted to go out to eat. So, he selected The Harvest. The Harvest is an Italian-American restaurant that was founded in 1972, but has been passed down to local restauranteurs in more recent years. My aunt had worked here as a teenager, but the rest of us had never been. The Harvest has a very homey menu which has sandwiches, burgers, wings and pastas. It all feels very American and very traditional.
Rigatoni with Spicy Sausage
I ordered rigatoni with spicy sausage, which is a meal with several courses! You get bread with this, which was just okay, along with a soup or salad. I went with the soup of the day, which was a beef and vegetable soup. This was delicious! The potatoes were so flavorful and the vegetables were well cooked. This was such a great start. The rigatoni with spicy sausage was interesting! For me, the pasta was very overcooked. I was surprised that the two spicy sausages were at the bottom of the bowl, whole, that I then cut up. They did have good flavor though and so did the sauce.
Lasagne, Alfredo, and Chicken Wings
My aunt got the lasagne, which was a large portion. She also got salad instead of soup, which was an extremely big house salad. They have a house made Italian dressing at The Harvest, which is a sweeter Italian, that she said was good too. One of my cousins got alfredo – which she was craving – with spaghetti. She very much liked this alfredo (and the soup of the day, which was her choice for starter). My other cousin was craving wings (which do not come with bread or soup / salad), but were BBQ and very good he said.
All in all, The Harvest has good portions and very home-style feeling food. We all went home with leftovers and our server was very kind too.
