The Lombardy restaurant on U.S. 211 in Amissville quietly reopened on June 6 under new management, after being closed for several months.
People are beginning to stop in again, and it is well worth the visit.
All of the food is fresh and homemade. The vegetables are either out of local gardens or fresh from the purveyor. With last Wednesday night’s special of pork chops, green beans and mashed potatoes, customers were served fresh green beams and real mashed potatoes. No canned vegetables here. All of the salads (macaroni, potato, coleslaw, tuna and egg) are made on the premises, as are the desserts.
Linda Jenkins is one of the cooks and specializes in desserts. She loves to make cakes, and some cakes that have recently been on the menu have been fudge, coconut, raspberry, walnut and brown spice. Her macaroni salad is not to be missed. She adds cucumber to it for extra crunch.
George Pullen, a native of Rappahannock County and resident of Viewtown, is the manager and one of the cooks. Mike El-Shafie is the assistant manager and also cooks. Mr. Pullen’s mother, Shirley Settle, also helps out with the mostly family business. Waitresses are Mr. Pullen’s daughters Lisa and Angela, Amy El-Shafie and Jessica Jacobs.
The restaurant is open every day from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. “But those hours may change in the winter, depending on the weather,” said Mr. Pullen.
All breakfast orders are served with home fries. Luncheon sand
