PASTA
Just a word about our pasta sauces. We serve two "reds."  Our basic sauce is Salsa di Pomodoro, Marie’s "Sunday Gravy," which is imported plum tomatoes, long simmered with meat, a Classic Sauce. We also make a Marinara Sauce — without meat. It’s cooked quicker with a pronounced flavor of fresh garlic. So, unless you request Marinara, we will serve Salsa di Pomodoro, Marie’s style.
