1. DePalma’s
DePalma’s is my all-time favorite Italian restaurant. Featuring amazing appetizers and salads, (I recommend the breadsticks and Caesar), daily lasagnas and delish deserts (the bread pudding is to die for!), you will not be disappointed.

If you’re looking for somewhere ambient to spend your evening, look no further than Evangeline’s. This upscale Tuscaloosa restaurant is a glamorous dinning experience with seasonal cocktails and a gourmet menu. You’re in for a treat.
