However I think the pizza is a better idea than the $28.00 veal parm which we had. The veal was ok; the sauce was insipid at best. The pasta was Spaghetti Torta. I googled Spaghetti Torta and discovered that it is “a good way to use left over spaghetti.” I was a bit dismayed to discover that my overprice meal was a good way for the restaurant to use the left over pasta from the rest of their menu. The recipe I saw called for baking but our server said it was fried. I prefer my eggs fried alone not with spaghetti. Then there ...
