My name is Jennifer Masache, I work at two Italian restaurants, and one of my favorite hobbies and favorite thing to do is going out to eat. Now you might be thinking well everyone likes to do that, but to be specific, I do not like to just sit, grab a bite, and exit. But rather DINE in and enjoy all of the aspects that come with it. Not necessarily fast food restaurants, or quick food stops or common restaurants everyone goes too. But instead, dining out at a nice restaurant. For the past year I’ve been visiting small restaurants across Long Island. Reason being, I am a food lover, restaurant server, and all time restaurant lover. And although I spend most of my time and days at a restaurant working, I still love to go out and try out different restaurants on my days off.  I love to try the various foods and seeing what that specific restaurant is like. Partially because after serving all weekend, I like to put myself in the shoes of the guests I serve and have a well deserved sit down meal as well. While I dine, I enjoy checking out the different foods, what unique foods the menu has to offer, the service, the ambiance, and the dining experience overall. Since I am passionate about it, I decided my blog would be about me sharing my experiences at different restaurants across the island. Obviously not common restaurants people know of, but of the hidden gems.
