***** Bello Forno Ristorante, 2901 Clint Moore Road Ste 3, Boca Raton 33496, (561) 995-9940.

Got a real good Italian joint for you guys to checkout, Bello Forno Ristorante which opened five months ago in Boca Raton.

Simple tale to tell, last night Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats and our friends Allan and Anita “discovered” Bello Forno and its food was right on the money! Small handful of outside tables/ inside table and booth seating, reasonably priced full boat lunch and dinner menus of appetizers/ salads/ subs/ sandwiches/ wraps/ soups/ pastas/ pizzas/ entrees/ desserts.

Now you guys know- that there are more Italian joints in Florida than there are Chins in a Chinese phonebook (I know, Soupy Sales 1957)- and I am telling you that Bello Forno’s food was absolute dynamite…purely a subjective call- I’d rate the joint right up there with Boca Raton’s best Italian restaurants! Gutsy call- but I am telling you, terrific food!

Let’s wrap-up Bello Forno Ristorante by saying- homerun!

The joint is open:
Sunday- Thursday
11:00 AM – 9:00 PM
Friday- Saturday
11:00 AM – 9:30 PM

***** Lotus Biscoff Cookies, 8.8oz, 32 Cookies per Pack.

Just between us- one of my favorite reasons for flying Delta Air Lines is that its snacks offerings include packs of 2-Lotus Biscoff Cookies! I absolutely love these cookies!

Long story short…I’ve been buying these cookies for years-for some unknown reason I had never mentioned them to you guys- so… yesterday, I purchased 2 Lotus Biscoff Cookies, 8.8oz, 32 Cookies per Pack for $2.97 each at Walmart Supercenter, 16205 South Military Trail, Delray Beach, Florida 33484, (561) 495-8127.

That’s the whole story in a nutshell- off the chart delicious crunchy caramelized cinnamon flavored cookies…

* Publix Promise.

Every so often, Jeff Eats gets a reader email which complains- that at. Publix checkout the scanned register price on an item was more than the shelf or advertised price!

I thought that you guys might like to know what Publix’s official policy is on the above situation…

From Publix.com:

“Our Publix Promise guarantees that if during checkout, the scanned price of an item (excluding alcohol and tobacco products) exceeds the shelf price or advertised price, we will give the customer one of that item free. We will charge the lower price for the remaining items.”

Fresh from the Off-Broadway stages of NYC, Forbidden Love stars Westchester’s own Vanessa Racci as Connie and Charlie Romo as Bobby, turning the pages of their autobiographies into a moving theatrical experience filled with true anecdotes, timeless music, and show-stopping talent!

Review: “Together, these two vocalists, with a penchant for the vintage, have created a program that allows them to show off superb vocals and their love for the two star-crossed lovers of their idolatry.” – Stephen Mosher, Broadway World ‘23

***** Jeremiah’s Italian Ice, 8170 Glades Road K-2, Boca Raton, Florida 33434, (561)465-3274.

Got a real good Italian Ice/Soft Serve Ice Cream/Gelati joint for you guys to checkout, Jeremiah’s Italian Ice in Boca Raton.

Real simple tale to tell, Jeremiah’s is a fast growing Italian Ice franchise (since 2019) which currently has stores spread-out over Florida. Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, Texas. Three weeks ago, Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff “discovered” Jeremiah’s Boca Raton joint and have been back 5 times since that initial outing. Order/pickup at inside counter/outside walk-up windows, handful of inside/outside tables, reasonably priced- 40 rotating and seasonal Italian Ice flavors/ vanilla-chocolate soft serve/ loads of toppings menu.

Now, just between you and me, I kinda think that I know my Italian Ices and Soft Serve Ice Cream and I’m telling you guys that Jeremiah’s Italian Ice is turning out absolutely delicious stuff!

Like I said a few seconds ago, Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats have been to Jeremiah’s 6 times (between 7:30-9:30pm) and each and every time- there were lines both inside and outside with people waiting to order. In addition, every table inside/ outside was taken. Of interest, all ages were there.

Not sure as to how it all plays out franchise wise, but for right now, the Jeremiah’s (which opened in Boca Raton on June 28th, 2021)) looks like a home-run business!

Checkout jeremiahsice.com for locations/menu/prices/info.

Jeremiah’s Italian Ice is open, Sunday-Thursday noon-10pm, Friday-Saturday noon-11pm.
