Steaming hot and spicy Seafood Fra Diavolo.
On a rainy Sunday like this, there is something about our slowly braised chicken thighs with fusilli pasta, red w**e, mushrooms and chunks of tomatoes.
Inspired by our friend Eric Kaplan’s request of Sausage, Peppers, Rigatoni and Broccoli this version is baked with cheese. We got this one all the time, just ask.

Good Job Savio! One of our own just graduated from the Police Academy.
Tony’s Lemon Ricotta Gnocchi with crispy oysters and arugula has become a Summer fave.
