daren1...you're making me hungry! All I'm cooking now is a big old stuffed hen! (:
Linguini alle vongole. Linguini is my favorite pasta.Not a seafood fan, but I'm in the definite minority, I know. Can't possibly eat Italian without the vino,right ?

I can see why it was a big seller. The sausage is a nice touch. Was the clientele mostly "Italian" or non- ?

Italians are very proud people, not many of our customers were Italian as all the local Italians thought they had better at home. :) I'm sure some probably did but it was us that was in business, not them. we did have some that were regulars though. Never judge an Italian restaurant by the fact that there are Italian customers. They have way too much pride.. Funny thing is that our 'togo' orders were many times ironically Italians - So they did like it but was too proud to be seen there.. LOL
I agree, especially with older Italians. Growing up, we NEVER ate out.
Up here, anyway, young Italian descendents, especially young professionals eat out regularly and tend to patronize Italian restaurants. Nevertheless, the cuisine is truly universal and appeals to all nationalities.

I was raised in the Italian restaurant business, My parents had many Sicilian/calabrese dishes. My most favorite was baked rigatoni with sausage and mushroom, this was a dish that consisted of rigatoni or mostaciolli maranera sauce with slices of Sicilian (fennel) sausage, mushroom in a casserole dish, with provolone or mozzarella cheese on top covered and baked until bubbling and the cheese melted on top, then sprinkled with Parmesan and chopped parsley..
This was a big seller.. We had many dishes but this one was my favorite. Sometimes we would also slice red and green bell peppers and bake that in as well (of asked for) Yummy! We had a very large restaurant, I closed it in 1984 to explore other things in life, many times i kick my own butt for selling it too, it was successful right up to the last day. (dumb kid)

It's amazing how different shaped pastas actually taste differently even though they're made of the exact same ingredient.
Yes, I only had this dish once, it was wonderful. I'm French/Scots so is the community, it's hard to find an Italian Restaurant around here.

Osso buco. Tender veal shank meat that breaks with a fork and dunking fresh crusty panini morsels in the bone marrow. Wash it down with a bottle of barolo and be happy you're alive.

Oooh. I haven't had osso buco in a long time. Not all restaurants list it on their menu but the good ones do; at least occasionally. Thanks for reminding me. I'm overdue.

In a fresh crusty panino bun. I like stuffing my sandwich with lightly dressed radicchio. Oil and vinegar. Extra virgin olive oil,naturally.

The place where Italian food originated: http://www.mondoitaly.com/ Does anyone know if there are "Olive Gardens" and Pizza Huts" in Italy?

The franchisors are smart enough to know that they wouldn't stand a chance in the "big leagues"

I'm surprised that you know the drink, Digger . All my freinds and workmates have never heard of it, i have been drinking it off and on since the late sixties, in Rome it is sold in small Fanta bottles.
