Lunch & Dinner Feasts
There are two rush hours at this red-checkered-tablecloth local chain. Around noontime, office workers get in line for good pizza by the slice ($1.95 and up), overstuffed subs ($5.99 to $7.99), including four kinds of parmigiana, and soups ($2 for a cup, $3.99 for a bowl)—look for the tomato tortellini or the Italian wedding soup, an occasional special.Come early evening, harried parents stop in to pick up the likes of fusilli with sausage and peppers ($6.29), linguine with clams ($7.99), and gnocchi Sorrentina ($6.99) for a no-fuss dinner. Look to the arugula salad—gussied up with roasted peppers, pine nuts, and artichoke hearts ($5.99)—to cut the sometimes-oily richness of the main courses.
