Old Spaghetti Factory
The whole family will have fun feasting at this somewhat "old-fashioned" feeling pasta place. It's a convenient spot to stop, to or from a downtown event, and is far enough out of the hustle-and-bustle not to worry about parking and long waits for your meal. You'll know you're here the minute you spot the candy apple red trim on the warehouse-sized building. Charming interior is decorated with antiques and collectibles. Spaghetti's the star here, but other pasta dishes are also available. Sauces are homemade and home-style. Many meals can be found for under $10.
Spinato's Pizza
This is not your run-of-the-mill pizzeria. Handmade dough, custom sauce and farm-fresh ingredients will sate your hunger. Sandwiches, salads, pasta and calzones are also available. For a low cholesterol alternative, try Mama Spinato's Spinach Calzone with fresh spinach marinated in Mama's "secret seasoning." Que bella! Family-owned and operated for 25 years, one of the Spinato's or a close relative will be cooking your pizza with family pride in every pie. Call for additional locations.
