Salad selections range from antipasto to tuna and all dinners come with warm bread and olive oil, as well as the diner's choice of soup or salad. Guests can customize their dinners by choosing from seven different pastas topped with their choice of nine different sauces. Other Italian entrees include lasagna, ravioli, mostaccioli and cavatelli alforno, a dumpling dish. All dishes are made by cooks who learned their craft in the old country. Best sellers include calamari fritti, mussells and the veal rib chop, manager Vickie Brown said.
Portion sizes are generous.
The lunch menu is similar to the dinner one, although pastas and salads seem to be more popular among noontime patrons, Brown said. There are daily and nightly specials. A full-service bar, an impressive wine list, cappucino, espresso and tiramisu round out the menu. There is a special martini menu at the bar, located in a separate room, where casual diners and cigar smokers are welcome. Live cabaret music is featured nightly Wednesdays through Saturdays.
