For an additional $3 you can add a protein (smokey bacon, soft egg, or nonna’s meatballs). And don’t forget to check out their specials. When I dropped in, I had the treat of trying out their special vegetarian lasagna made with brown rice pasta and three types of cheese. Another special was the addition of shaved black truffles on any pasta of your choice. I mean, how could I not?
