On my recent trip to Albany, if I hadn't been with child (Hugo), I would have most definitely had a meal at Lombardo's Grill.

To be honest, I would have dined at Lombardo's if for no other reason than their wonderful neon sign. I mean the effort and $$$ it must take to keep that thing humming must be considerable. Call me an easily duped fool, but the dedication it takes to maintain that neon sign says to me that, most likely, there must be something good going on inside the place.

In fact, after a little after-the-fact use of the google, I discovered that Lombardo's "has been recognized by many publications as one of the finest Italian restaurant in the Upstate NY region." So, as it turns out, I wasn't very far off the mark after all.

Apparently, while (exterior) looks can be deceiving, on occasion, looks can also help in perceiving.
