Seating area consists of 3 tables, and they've got one of those mini arcade games for the kiddos as well. Overall pretty small dining area but Gustine isn't a big city so didn'texpect a ton of seating. Menu is displayed on a couple of monitors in the wall as you come in. The pasta is cooked in an open kitchen right behind the counter as you order. Pretty neat to be able to watch them make your order. Ordered the Volcanic Fettuccine because who doesn't like a spicy Italian dish right? Got it in a bread bowl with added chicken so cost was just shy of 20 bucks because of the upgrades. Didn't end up eating on site because it was really close to closing time for them and didn't want to be "that guy" so took my order home. The fettuccine was really good, cooked well, and the sauce was actually spicy. Not as spicy as I was hoping it would be, but it did have a nice kick. I'd definitely have it again. Overall, nice family run place with home made pasta. Would have ordered a pizza, but they ran out of pizza dough, since it is house made they don't have any extra in the fridge/freezer like you'd expect at a lot of places. If you are in the Gustine area looking for some really good home made pasta check them out. Definitely worth the drive.

I decided to try the fettuccine Alfredo with chicken in a bread bowl and hubby had volcanic fettuccine with chicken. The chicken and Alfredo were seasoned.

So, as you're driving down the I-5 and looking for a place to get delicious sandwiches, this is the perfect spot! And, while you're there, stock up on wide variety of handcrafted sausages, brats, beef sticks, bacon, marinated meats, dry rubs and more! We brought an insulated bag with ice packs to put them in. We grabbed some for family we were visiting in Sacramento and stopped again on our way back home to stock up. We tried the Brisket and Ribeye sandwiches. The bread got soft fast, maybe a little too soft. They were both hot sandwiches so not sure if it was from a little too much bbq sauce, juices from the meat or how it's wrapped. The brisket and ribeye were tender and juicy. I liked the Ribeye a little more since it had mushrooms, bell peppers and onion. I would have liked the bread to be more toasty since we ate the sandwiches there. But, that's my preference; I love more texture in my food. Loved the variety of sausages, brats and beef sticks that we got. The bacon was a lot thinner than we're used to. We bought lots of their dry Wolfsen's seasoning since it's one of my bf's favorites! I loved that the beef sticks that weren't too oily and very tasty. I wish we had gotten more of them! The sausages were so flavorful!! We tried them in a variety of dishes. We really liked the Smoked Blueberry Bratwurst, Smoked Andouille Sausage, Smoked Chuckwagon sausage, Cajun Style Smoked Sausage and Smoked German Pork Sausage.

On my way back to Modesto, taking the backroads from Dos Rios State Park, I checked the map to see what goodies might be in the vicinity. When Churros Tradicionales popped up in Crows Landing, I knew I had to detour, and I'm SUPER glad that I did. I didn't have to wait in line - only a small family enjoying their treats, and two gentleman waiting for their to-go tray of churros - so I quickly picked the first photo of a menu item that looked delicious. My first time here, I knew I had to just dive in, so I picked the trio of churro flavors (cream, caramel, and strawberry) cut up into shareable sticks, and a scoop of ice cream (strawberry for me)! All that for $12. Believe me, it was worth the 5 minute wait, and could easily be shared depending on your level of sweet tooth! Can't wait to have another excuse to roll through town and stop for more churros :) Check them out.

Now, I suddenly feel those visits may increase exponentially. I've also never stepped in the store, but have only longingly gazed at it from outside, as they were still closed for the New Year. But if there's one thing I can say about it, it's that the fudge is amazing. Unfortunately, I could only try two kinds, but the fact that I plowed through the Tupperware full of the Peppermint fudge seems to tell me I'd probably enjoy other varieties with as much enthusiasm. I've also tried the Gingerbread but the Peppermint won me over. It's incredibly soft with chunks of soft peppermint candy sunk into the chocolate. But unlike other fudge that often feels so dense and so sugary your teeth start to hurt, C.R.'s makes it feel like a light indulgence and fantastic (nightly) dessert--so good that you eat five or six and pretty soon you've managed to eat your way to the bottom of the box. My mom tells me that the fudge's sweetness is matched only by Carol herself who makes the delectable squares. It warms me to know such talent surfaces in a little town, and unlike other shops that may fall by the wayside, C.R. Fudge better stay in business if the people know what's good for them. As the saying goes, "Eating some fudge a day keeps the blues away as well as your six pack abs but no one really cares about that."

The kids really enjoyed that. We will be making this our pit stop coming home from SoCal every time from now on.
