"Every time we take our friends from out of town to this Italian Market pasta bar, they beg us to overnight ship them a plate of the rigatoni immediately after they get back home. It’s the kind of old-school place that’s filled with the scent of garlic, sausage, and the rising steam wafting from plates that you’ll want to grab as they whiz by you. Start with the chicory salad with pears and a creamy gorgonzola dressing, and finish with a few plates of sausage ragu rigatoni, ricotta gnocchi topped with fig slices, and a tagliolini with clams swimming in a lemony prosecco sauce. Even if the weather takes a turn for the worse, they have a covered, heated patio where you can watch people go by and sip your wine as you watch the pasta roll in. " - Candis Mclean, Alison Kessler
