Cherry Tomato is an Italian restaurant close to McAuliffe, so it is a great place to go after school. Cherry Tomato has 4.4 stars with 557 reviews on Google and 4 stars on Yelp with 377 reviews, which makes sense as it has good food. It has a variety of different kinds of pasta and sauce that you can combine. You could get farfalle (bow-tie pasta) or spaghetti with marinara, alfredo, and more. They don’t only have pasta you can also get an amazing salad, soup, oysters, or charcuterie. For dessert, they serve cake, ice cream, tiramisu, or pie which are all amazing and tasty. All of the amazing food is cheap too, never getting too expensive, despite the great quality.

     The restaurant has a great atmosphere too. They have paintings on one wall and a mural, on another wall with a whole bunch of different pans and pots, and great big windows to look outside on another. They have an open kitchen so you can see them cooking your fresh food. They have an outside area too but it is not very good and it is much better inside. Around Christmas, they have a tree and lights outside which just looks beautiful. 

They have very short wait times never taking that long, and while you are waiting the tables have paper on them that you can draw or play games like hangman on. In short, Cherry Tomato is an amazing restaurant with great reviews, great food, and a great atmosphere and service. You should go there!
